Fable (2027) — чего ожидать от релиза и стоит ли предзаказывать?

На состоявшемся 7 июня XBOX Games Showcase разработчики представили игровому сообществу трейлер новой Fable, а заодно объявили дату релиза — 27 февраля 2027 года. В Steam уже доступны предзаказы.Наконец, XBOX опубликовали получасовое геймплейное видео, а значит, мы уже можем осторожно предположить, будет ли новинка шедевром и достойной наследницей франшизы, либо же нас ждет проходняк или вовсе бездушный мертворожденный ремейк ради ремейка.

[Перевод] Что будет со звездой, если она поглотит первичную чёрную дыру?

У них не было звёзд-предшественников, они возникли в результате прямого коллапса плотно спрессованной субатомной материи.
