Preview : Fable 2

From Gamedaily:
"Although much of Peter Molyneux's latest adventure game remains under wraps, the famous developer shed some light on the Xbox 360 sequel. Gamers will play as either a man or a woman. They can get married and even have kids. When asked how getting pregnant impacts female players, Molyneux wouldn't elaborate, but mentioned that they will need to go on a hiatus.

The biggest innovation appears to be the ability to have a dog. Molyneux, feeling emotionally detached from previous adventure games, elected to explore the concept of unconditional love. Rather than settle on forming a bond between the player and a sidekick or even their significant other (who apparently becomes quite a nuisance), he created a very intelligent canine companion, one that modifies its behavior depending on the actions of its master.

Molyneux drew on his previous games for inspiration, particularly his Black & White series...

I hope ol Peter Molyneux isn't exaggerating again like he did for the first Fable. Honestly, I could care less for having kids in a video game...wait that process involves...ok Im cool with it as long as there is some good er a...interaction.

Player befriends dog. Dog saves players bacon. Dog gets killed by end Boss. Player avenges dogs death. Roll credits =/

I was holding out hope that the dog will just be greatly injured or that you could do SOMETHING to actually change the course of events. But they definitly will want to use the dog to make you HATE the badguy. It could be good or it could come off as VERY scripted.

hehe nice one silver.. I agree with you assassyn.. He should put in more of his "PROJECT EGO" and less lies.. I would have liked to seen everything he said was going to be in this game from the beginning.

grifter0246879d ago

Ohh man its just a game.. Thats an awesome avatar!!! "Col Oneill what the he11 are you doing!" "No longer in possession of ones faculties, Bonkers, 2 fries short of a happy meal WACKO!!" That was a really good episode...

FCOLitsjustagame6877d ago

Yes, yes it was. One of the funniest episodes of Stargate ever. :)

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?

DrDoomer819d ago

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

raWfodog819d ago

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

BrainSyphoned819d 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*

Husker42c819d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb819d ago

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

ChasterMies819d ago (Edited 819d 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_Mal819d ago (Edited 819d 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.

darthv72819d 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.

Hofstaderman819d ago

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

Profchaos818d ago (Edited 818d 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.

BehindTheRows818d 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.
