What We Want From the New Fable
It’s been nearly a decade since the last core Fable game, but the recent reports of Playground Games working on a new installment in the series have us dreaming of heading back to Albion. But what exactly do we want from a Fable game developed by the studio that delivers consistently great Forza Horizon games?
We gathered IGN’s resident Fable fanatics, as well as one special (that’s an understatement) guest to talk about what they want from the next Fable game.
I don't want Fable 4 because they've moved too far forward in the timeline for my liking. Plus, Playground deserves a fresh crack at the universe without any narrative baggage from Lionhead's trilogy. Thus, I'm hoping for a reboot. Call if "Fable" and let's start back at Fable 1 times and tell an all-new story in that era. It's got to have a dog, though; that was the single biggest reason (of several) why I believe Fable 2 is the best in the series. Offer different breeds, as Fable 3 did (Boxers FTW!). Good and evil is a key pillar that must not be forgotten; I should be able to play as evil as I desire and have the people of Albion respond to me accordingly. And for the love of all things holy, don't shoehorn any multiplayer into this. Keep a laser-focus on making an incredible single-player action-adventure-RPG...though I would be totally OK with co-op. -- Ryan McCaffrey, Executive Editor

Dallas Fuel Member Suspended and Fined Over Homophobic Remarks.
The Overwatch League slapped a member of the Dallas Fuel with a four-game suspension and a $2,000 fine after he made a homophobic comment about a member of the Houston Outlaws.
Felix "xQc" Lengyel made the remark on his personal stream following his team's 4-0 loss in a match against the Outlaws last Thursday. In addition to the Overwatch League's punishment, the Dallas Fuel has decided to suspend xQc for the remainder of Stage 1, which lasts until February 10.
"During his suspension, we will be offering additional resources, focus coaching, physical training and support to Felix to help him improve as a professional player who is reflective of the principles of the Dallas Fuel organization, his teammates, and of the Overwatch League," the Dallas Fuel said in a statement released on Twitter.
Lord of the Rings Director to Helm WWI Documentary
The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson is taking on a World War I feature documentary.
Deadline reports the untitled project will see Jackson 3D digitize and hand colorize never-before-seen footage from the Imperial War Museums’ film archive. It'll also feature audio from the BBC archives, with Jackson using modern production techniques to restore the footage.

Netflix’s Altered Carbon Should Be Your Next Binge
Immortality is within reach in Netflix’s latest binge-worthy series. Altered Carbon, which premieres on February 2nd, is based on the popular 2002 cyberpunk novel written by British author Richard K. Morgan. It’s an ambitious project from the streaming giant that is a sci-fi adventure you don't want to miss.
Altered Carbon is set in a distant future where humanity has discovered a way to preserve human consciousness -- if you have the cash for a device called a Cortical Stack. Embedded in the spinal column, Cortical stacks house a person’s memories, so that even if the body dies, the stack can be preserved indefinitely.
The body someone is brought back into after they die depends on their cash flow. If they’re lucky enough to be super rich, they can look young and beautiful forever, but those who are unable to afford top of the line models could find themselves in a less than desirable situation. Like a 7-year-old girl in the body of an 80-year-old woman. Imagine that family reunion.

The Razzies 2018 Nominations Announced
The list of nominations for The Golden Raspberries - Hollywood's anti-awards for the worst films of the year - have been revealed for the 2017's crop (or is that crock?).
Transformers: The Last Knight - a film we called "a massive, shiny mess" - leads the pack with 9 nominations, while Fifty Shades Darker ("Is it possible to sit through Fifty Shades Darker without being bound and gagged?") follows on 8.
Darren Aronofsky and the co-leads of his film Mother! ("an exceptionally frustrating film") will likely be most upset with their nominations.
