36.) Lionhead Studios Officially Closes

The gaming world has lost an amazing franchise. Fable developer Lionhead closed its doors for the last time after nearly 20 years. Despite how Fable 3 and Fable: The Journey performed, many fans in the gaming community were looking forward to Fable Legends. Fable was one of my favorite games on the original Xbox. I had high hopes for Lionhead Studios to learn from their mistakes from Fable 2 and 3, and to create a Fable game which improved from them but ultimately similar to the original. In 2014, we saw a remastered version of the original Fable in the Fable Anniversary game edition. Is this truly the end of an era of Fable? I wish the team from Lionhead the best. Thank you for everything you have done and contributed to games Lionhead Studios. The impact you made with your games will always be remembered. Lionhead will be greatly missed.

33.) Xbox 360 Is No Longer Manufactured

32.) PS4 Neo Upgrade Confirmed

Sony needs to make a way where gamers can trade in their original PS4 and upgrade to their new system at a fraction of the cost. As gamers, we have seen this work well with Xbox 360 when its new console models came with a hard drive transfer kit. I for one don't want to keep dropping hundreds of dollars; possibly playing the same price for PS4 when it initially launched for every new console upgrade. They also need to make a way where gamers who already own the previous PS4 can somehow transfer their memory from their hard drive over to the new system's hard drive if they decide to upgrade. The new system also needs a much larger hard drive because all console games now have mandatory installs and take up massive amounts of storage space. The hard drive should be bigger than 1TB since games can take up 20GB to 50GB installs.

Game Developers Unhappy?
