J’s Takeaways
Fable’s Return Peaks Interest
The return of this classic series has been anticipated for a long time and delivered by bringing in hollywood star power to it’s trailer. The gameplay itself invokes the recent Hogwarts game, but in the best way possible.
Persona 6 Teases
Another hotly anticipated title did end up showing up, however as a trailer for non-Persona fans, I’m not sure it was good enough to draw in new fans.
