Lionhead's "revolutionaries" countdown site continued over the weekend, with Abe Lincoln, Aristotle, and - today's revolutionary of choice - Emma Goldman.
Lionhead's countdown started last Thursday, with the number "6" appearing next to the image (and quote) of famous South American revolutionary Che Guevara. On Friday, we got French Revolution mastermind Maximilien Robespierre as #5. Now, over the weekend, the site went through #4, #3, and #2:
Numero Quatro was good ol' "Honest" Abe Lincoln - an odd choice, to be sure, since he wasn't known so much for instigating a revolution as he was for suppressing one. Quoteth Lincoln: "Be not deceived. Revolutions do not go backward."
Number Three was famous Greek philosopher Aristotle. Now, Aristotle isn't really known for being a famous revolutionary (at least not in the sense of a rebel against an established dominion) - but one could certainly call his ideas and philosophy revolutionary. Aristotle was the tutor of famed conqueror Alexander the Great, and his quote reflects this: "He who is to be a good ruler, must have first been ruled."
Today's revolutionary - Number Two, for those of you keeping track at home - is Emma Goldman. This is a strange pick, since Goldman isn't nearly as well known as the company she keeps on the list. Still, if Wikipedia is to be believed, she certainly fits the bill, as a prominent figure in the anarchist movement in the early 1900s. "If I can't dance, I don't want to be in your revolution."
We're left wondering who will be tomorrow's #1 revolutionary (my money is on either Lenin or the big J.Christ, depending on how pretentious Molyneux feels like getting), as well as "what the hell this is all counting down to?" Members of our community have guessed Fable 3, but announcing a sequel is hardly revolutionary, even by Lionhead's standards. Project Milo would have fit, if we hadn't seen it at E3.
I guess we'll just have to wait and find out Wednesday at GamesCom.
We're left wondering who will be tomorrow's #1 revolutionary (my money is on either Lenin or the big J.Christ, depending on how pretentious Molyneux feels like getting
My bet on the #1 revolutionary, or possibly the #0 (?) would be Peter Molyneux himself.

Maybe for ultimate pretentiosness, No.1 might be Peter Molyneux himself, posed like Auguste Rodin's The Thinker.
The game will revolve around revolutions of some sort and changing the political landscape on a personal level will be one of the major elements of the game. Mark my words.
My guess, Fable 3 will be based around some sort of revolution and you are the #1 It will involve something revolutionary knowing molyneux... Like a real dog!

Concon141: My guess, Fable 3 will be based around some sort of revolution and you are the #1
You could be onto something there...
I heard that Fable 3 will be a prequel, set before the events of Fable, around about the time of the establishment of the Hero's Guild or even before that.
The revolution could be when the Heroes revolted against the increasing corrupt Archon bloodline, and established the Heroes guild to protect the people of Albion.

Good deduction there, If molyneux was reading this right now... "Nooo, My plan is foiled! I'm going to go complain to milo now...."

See, I would buy that game, provided Molyneux doesn't flap his lips about it at ALL.

yeah that's what i'm thinking he's got a big enough ego for it
he's done some great things but frankly fallen short on a lot of promises
Despite it already being announced, I think the only thing that really fits for this kind of campaign would be Milo, or something similarly Natal based. Fits with all the talk of revolutionising the way we play games and all that lark.
I would love it to be Fable 3, primarily because, regardless of shortcomings and failed expectations, I've loved both Fable games when taken on their own merits... but announcing Fable 3 after this kind of build up would be underwhelming even by Lionhead's standards.
I can't wait to get on that hype train again. Last stop, disappointment central.
Well...I suppose it could be something brilliant, but I'm not holding my breathe. While I may have loved Fable and Black & White, I hated the sequels. Maybe this will be a great new IP, that won't be burned out for another few years.

Which means no.1 will be the lead charecter for the next game they're releasing (and that's assuming it's not based on a real person). Just realised I was ninja'd to this
Ollie596: Ha your all wrong! it was Joan Of Arc....that kinda sucks.
