NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Why upset Tom? Can't really see the big deal here, especially as he will be setting up another studio as well. Personally thought the Fable games were crap....

I can see him doing fine wherever he goes. After all, he left Bullfrog to start Lionhead and regardless of what you think of him, he has been a success wherever he has been.

I wonder if he has either had enough of being railroaded by M$ into having to develop for Kinect or he wants to look at more cross platform titles in future ratehr than being tied purely to 360.

apparently he is excited about the new possibilities that devices like kinect can bring to gaming. So hes not moving away due to kinect, it appears he wants more freedom to create the software he wants to do on kinect and similar devices.

Im thinking along the lines of Mylo and Kate here, this seems like a project he was really interested in but perhaps it was MS that decided it wasnt worth pursuing

It figures with him that he would be - I was grapsing a little as I wondered if he felt like he was being pushed. Didnt M$ originally want Fable 3 to Kinect integrated?

agree totally played the fable games alot and dont know why really because they didn't really change from one to the next imo

think he wants to get back to his roots on pc, more games like black and white and less false promises
