Fable 2

[Wood Ghost]

Just saw on Xplay that Fable 2 will have jump in & out Coop. That sounds good. Also will have a mini game on live to earn money for your character before the actual game ships. Latest I heard was mid fall, anyone heard anything more definite.

Nice. I love the jump in co-op feature that Gears and Crackdown had. I am looking forward to Fable 2. I never played through all of Fable but have thought about getting from the Xbox originals.

[MadBryan]

You really should play it. Is the Xbox origanals the version with the added content? I excited for fable 2 for sure

The XBLA money-making sounds interesting. Everybody will be "rollin' in da bitches and da dough" before the game even ships.

Bah! They promised that in&out co-op for the first one also... would be nice to see them deliver on that.

Saaaweeet! Now me and a buddy can go around farting in crowded places together!

Actually, this is going to be awesome for playing with my son, who loves Fable on the Xbox. Of course, he's eight, so farting plays a big part in the game...

I saw the Dev diary on GT. I think they are not hypeing this game enough. I know we were all let down on the first one. I think this one is gonna be different.

This was part of a press release from the Gamerscoreblog.com

“Fable 2” (Lionhead Studios). In addition to the dynamic co-op mode unveiled onstage, Peter Molyneux also announced that Carbonated Games is bringing the “Fable 2” experience to Xbox LIVE Arcade. Before the game’s launch, gamers will be able to get an early taste of the “Fable 2” experience and gain a head start on earning currency for use in “Fable 2” by playing “Fable 2”-themed pub games that will be downloadable via Xbox LIVE Arcade. The currency earned in these Xbox LIVE Arcade titles will enable players to purchase items in “Fable 2” when the game launches later this year.

That is interesting concept. So for $5 or $10 we can start earning some in game money. Is this a pyramid money making scheme?

Reminds me of Sir Death buying all of the booze in the game and getting every single person in one of the towns wasted at the same time. Quite a feat!

The PIEMASTER will return!!!!

This sounds awesome, I wonder how you will be able to earn money for your character though. Whatever it is I cant wait. I loved the first game but havent been very excited for this one until now when they confirm the co-op.

[SpartanZypher]

The only downside to the co-op, which the co-op that was demoed was actually local I believe, is that the screen is tethered, kinda like Guantlet.

But even with that, Fable 2 is still one of my most anticipated games of the year.

[The Milk Man 09]

Tethering the screen is kinda dumb, why not just limit the area the players can go in without putting both people on one screen.

I just started playing Fable: The Lost Chapters last weekend. I have done some of the sliver/bronze missions, but I am about 90% done with the original storyline. It's been a great game and I plan on completing the added storyline missions that are part of the Lost Chapters.

That being said, after watching some of these developer walk throughs on Fable 2, I am really excited for it. The game looks fairly purty and changes to how you explore the world seem really cool. Plus they confirmed this week that their will be online coop play.

I really just hope that Fable two is longer and more open ended than the first, that was my biggest letdown but when lost chapters came out that helped a little bit. Now I am playing through it again for my 5th or 6th time playing completely good, Ive never done that before.

Spoilers:

I think Im throwing the Biotch in the fire and keeping the sword at the end though

I was really disappointed with the first one...

An RPG shouldn't be played to completion in 18 hours.


It was a cool concept, but poorly executed. It seemed rushed.


As far as how to earn money... remember those mini-games in the first game? I'm suspecting more of the same.

This will be a hesitant rent/borrow before I spend more money on a probable flop. KOTOR/KOTOR2, kind of, did what Fable wanted to do (the whole dark side deal).
