the 4v1 thing they were doing looked horrible..  so I'm happy to see the franchise under new management.

I agree.  PM has a history and reputation for over promising and under delivering.  He is a true visionary, and if he could ever deliver a game the he promises, it would be legendary.

The original was epic.  I rarely have had a game captivate as that one did.  An RPG that does things differently is rare, and have skills based progression vs. leveling based progression separates the series.  It isn't unheard of in RPG's but is rare.

Fable 2 was a huge departure from F1, when it didn't really need to be.  They dumbed down combat and made it far too easy, and there was a huge imbalance in the effectiveness of melee combat vs. magic, whereas in F1 all styles of combat were viable, in F2 magic had a HUGE advantage over melee combat.

I hope what they make for F4 reverts more to F1 in terms of story and gameplay while better balancing combat.

Oh and I hope the main story is more than 10 hrs of gameplay.  A lack of content also is part of PM's legacy and reputation.
