Hey everyone
I'm on the lookout for level designers to join my team over at Playground Games in the UK, working on Fable! We have two positions open currently:

Level Designer (Contract) - https://playground-games.com/careers/otPGlfw3/
Senior Level Designer (Contract) - https://playground-games.com/careers/oBZGlfwl/

Both job postings mention that prior industry experience is required, however if you have an awesome portfolio, I'd still love to see it!
Cheers,
Paul

Got promoted to Assistant Lead Level Designer a couple of months ago at Rebellion!

I had forgotten how silly things got in the pierce brosnan films. The submarine car was pretty cool, but even that was pushed too far with the underwater battle. Happy that they decided to reboot the series after things went too wild.
Regarding car chases, I'd be happy to play a chase akin Uncharted 4.....that's the bar.
Come to think of it, uncharted 4 with more advanced stealth mechanics would probably fit a modern Bond game pretty well!

My concern would be a game that is too much of a Hitman clone and leaning too much on gadgets. Bond is actually not that subtle, and the films have gone up in pacing more and more over time... I'd want to be able to somewhat parkour, slide, hand-to-hand combat.
I rather not have a driving section if it's terrible because of tech/time/budget (I'm thinking of the horrible Bourne game), but it's undeniable that a big part of the 007 brand/allure is cars... think of the amount of gadgets they pack in those Bond-cars. And then there are always epic car chases in each Bond film... you remember Carmack talking about a 70-30 proportion when marketing Rage? I wouldn't say in Bond films the split is that high, but at least a 15%? Plus boat chases, jetpacks, on-ski chases, parkour, underwater shootouts (way before COD Ghosts did it)...
I mean are we joking
 

Surely if anyone can finally make another good bond game (after Goldeneye) it's these guys with this engine. If they stick to the subterfuge and the hiding-in-plain-sight of the Hitman series, but with bond's gadgets, it could be class. I just hope they don't feel the need to put in an awkward driving section.

I was all about the 360 but then switched to PS4 for last gen, this time around am switching back to Xbox for the Series X (as I don't need to pay for Gamepass Ultimate but would have to buy a PS Plus subscription). I will get both though, probably just not going to get a PS5 until later next year when some of the big exclusives start to come out (Horizon ZD maybe), and it should be cheaper by that time. It's strange that neither console has any big hitters in terms of exclusives for launch, but am looking forward to playing Valhalla next week and COD the following weekend, and might also pick up Ghostrunner.

Man i am so looking forward to playing what you guys have been up to! Also, i am a huge fan of Fatshark and what what they are doing with Vermintide, that 40k title is sure going to be great! 

Was great to finally be able to officially announce the development of Fable during the showcase ?
Stalker 2, The Medium and Avowed all piqued my interest, exciting times ahead!
