In a recent chat with Games Radar, Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux explained his company's new development mantra for the massive Xbox 360 Fable sequel: LESS IS MORE.
At the moment the Fable 2 design director is telling his team to focus less on features and more on polishing. "Lionhead games need less random features, but to refine and hone the core features," he said.

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?
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*
Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.
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.
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.
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.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
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.
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.
Is weird. He gets all worked up over the dumbest stuff. I remember in one of the dev diaries he talks for 5 minutes how you can't control the dog! OMG
Still looks like an awesome game.
yea your right he does get work up for the dumbest sh!t but yea the game looking kick ass.
Rpg's cant get quite complex when you start putting more stuff into it.
Emm so please explain how a game like Mass Effect is said to be on ONE DISC? Please I would really like to know.
More stupid comments from those without a clue.
u know fable 2 might suck...and i luved fable one, but him simplifing the battle systen to one button....might get really repetitive. no dying.....is it gonna turn to zelda???
about disk space. well yeah oblivion fits on one disk, but it has a basic combat system, and no scenes, which is why it could fit, which is fine. but if u add alot of features then they take up alot more space. that and Jrpgs, those always have alot of cinematics which eat up disk space, main reason blue dragon needs 3 disks.
dead or alive 4 used the whole disk, and thats cuz theres alot of different interaction between each character, and level, the counters, the throws, the moves, the outfits, the huge levels.
it depends what kinda game it is that takes up the space. american games most likley wont use up all disk space tho since they usually make straight forward games (stil fun) and have 0 scenes, usually just a real time man talking. while jap games use motion capture and other things for stuff like fight scenes and so on
