Fable 2 Development Work Continues

Sam writes, "Work continues here at the Lionhead Tower on a multitude of things! Obviously Fable 2, with the team now really digging, hammering and screwing away on the latest version. Today I had the pleasure to (briefly) spend some time with Peter, Dene and Mark during one of their play through sessions and can clearly see the mood changing; the game itself is coming along very nicely and while we've still got some time to go, that date some time later this year (with all the brown leaves and all that), but anyone who would start playing the game right now would get absorbed in the world, characters and all that jazz. The Fable 2 team rocks. I saw the golden acorn today."

and the two player co-op is sweet

The idea of bringing your RPG character into a Friend's game and playing for loot that you return to your game is fantastic.

And, you can join at any time without leaving the game!

Imagine how excellent that will be. When you're on LIVE, you'll be able to see what other's are playing and send them invites to be henchment for your adventure.

Totally, 100% epic.

'Cuz if you did, then you know it sucked! I laugh at people who get excited about this game. I remember when the first one came out - the hype was unreal!!!

What happened when you actually played it? You realized it was a kids game. You can seriously beat the campaign in less than 10 hrs. This game was too easy. It was an RPG w/ training wheels.

We'll see if they can actually deliver this time around. Sounds like they're doing some interesting things. Until I get the game in my hands, I'm not sold though. I'll probably just wait for the superior PC version to come out like they did w/ the last one.

Actually, Fable 1 was awesome. You suck, you piece of sh1t.

The anger and tone suggests PS3 fanboy that had pieced together his opinion from others or haters.

JVIDICAN6531d ago

and your not a fanboy? 0_o

Boldy6531d ago

Fable 1 was great, did you play the same game I played, or did you even play it at all?

And if you call a childrens game, a game where you can pop off your enemies' heads by shooting an arrow at their neck with a big fountain of blood shooting up in the air, then I fear for the moms that bought this so called "kid's game" for their children.

KBDuB6531d ago (Edited 6531d ago )

I hafta disagree. It wasn't what it was hyped up to be, not even close, but nonetheless still a great game. I really enjoyed the first game.

And, it wasn't a kid's game. =P

this game looks great! i hope we get to see more on it at E3 or whenever.

Defectiv3_Detectiv36531d ago (Edited 6531d ago )

Oh Please, Have you actually played the first one!!!!!!!! Talk about easy!!!! MARIO RPG WAS HARDER! You can beat this game in less than 10 hrs - thats a big no no for an RPG. And it is a well known fact that the PC version of Fable 1 had a lot more content.

Fact of the matter is most people who are ranting and raving about this game never played the first one. You can tell because if they did they would know it was an underwhelming experience. The way they were hyping up this game though you would have thought it was a killer app. Fable 1 definetly was NOT a killer app.

Thats why I have such a hard time getting excited about this game.

Boldy6531d ago (Edited 6531d ago )

I agree with you that the game was easy and short, but that did not make it a bad game. It pulled you into the world and made you actually care about the characters. Fable 2's main story line will be longer (about 12 hrs) along with alot more side quests to do.

If you think short games means it's a crappy game, take a look at Call of Duty 4's campaign. How long was that?

"And it is a well known fact that the PC version of Fable 1 had a lot more content."

Thats why the released Fable: The Lost Chapters on Xbox

KBDuB6531d ago (Edited 6531d ago )

Tony Scarboni - "You can beat this game in less than 10 hrs" It was longer than that............. wasn't it? I don't remember it's been too long ago.
"Thats why I have such a hard time getting excited about this game." Well, at least this time around they aren't hyping anything up without some video proof of it. So everything Peter has talked about he has shown.

@Boldy29 - "Fable 2's main story line will be longer (about 12 hrs) along with alot more side quests to do." Where'd you hear that? Is that official or just a guess??

Boldy6531d ago

"Peter Molyneux doesn't want you to replay Fable 2.

The game's main story will only take you about 12 hours or so to complete, but he wants you to keep playing long after you've completed your final heroic deed, and he's perfectly willing to rely on your natural tendency toward greed and guilt to get you to do it."

PR0NE6531d ago (Edited 6531d ago )

tell him not to bother to increase the longevity of the game after the main story has been finished, problem ALREADY solved: achievement ho's ;)

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer818d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog818d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned818d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c818d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb818d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies818d ago (Edited 818d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal818d ago (Edited 818d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72818d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman818d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos817d ago (Edited 817d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows817d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
