[maxy]

Game looks awesome,i hear that the game is fantastic...

[Brehvolution]

So if you were playing evil, would these be your friends?

[bachikarn]

So what exactly are they doing to make it so much better than the first one?

Another scientific breakthrough.

Some really interesting things about death design from wiki

The initial design was that if the player's character died, then the character's children would take over as being playable (if they had any). This did not work, however, as play-testers harvested children as dozens of extra lives, prompting Lionhead developers to create another new "death" system.

[duckman2000]

Fuck awesome, someone send these artists some gifts!

[WrikaWrek]

It's a beautiful game.

Very unique.

I think I read in a preview that one of those giant monsters is the player's daughter who he chose to neglect

Its a Peter Molyneux game. Expect an underwhelmaton. Or has he finally shut up during Fable 2's development? I havent been following.

[MrAngryFace]

The demos ive seen make the game look at least better than the original, and since i know people who liked the original, it cant be as bad as we like to pretend.

[Mupepe]

He never really said much about it or the features until very recently

The irony.

You don't follow the development, yet you pull no punches at speaking about it. Molineux has behaved like a standard designer this time around, he has been pretty humble about it even if excited about it.

So no, i don't see an underwhelmaton coming, since what he speaks off, has been shown.

[MrAngryFace]

People talk about Molyneux like he's fucking working on Too Human 2

Meh, at worst it will be an awesome adventure game, set in an awesome adventure world. The rest, this supposed depth, may or may not elevate it to legendary breakthrough status, but it's not as if the game won't be a great adventure game.

[AdmiralViscen]

Seriously.

I haven't seen him spout off about his game this time without a live demo running right behind him as he describes it.

[Jansen]

just ordered the LE today.

at $66.99 on amazon i couldn't pass it up.

I think people would have been more forgiving if Too Human would have lived up to its promises, and had a director that didn't simply try to hush critics by constantly moving the goalposts and actively redefining what exactly his great achievements was going to be. Fable was a good game, it just wasn't what the remarkably enthusiastic Molyneux had claimed it would be. And I'm pretty sure he admitted this, openly.

[MrAngryFace]

Seriously.

This. If anything people expecting catastrophe do so of their own design. He isn't promising anything he isn't showing in videos to us. For some fucking reason people have built up this almost legendary status, around a rather quiet developer, that only exists to be assailed before during and after his game releases.

[duckman2000]

Fable certainly wasn't a great adventure game.

I consider it one of the better adventure games. A beautiful fairy tale world peppered with treasure and curiously charming minions, magic and combat meshing well, and a pretty decent plot too, even if the storyline as such felt like it could have used a few more key scenes. Additionally, other adventure games in "similar" settings tend to drip of dork cheese, and Fable didn't. It was quite brilliant.

Hey man, thats great then. My comments have merit even if I havent followed the game's development, though. I mean, Black and White and Fable 1 were supposed to end world hunger and suck my cock, respectively, according to PM, and neither quite made it. If hes finally putting up this time, then good for him. I'll be interested to see the reviews roll in for this.

[MrAngryFace]

bobobo im a victim of hype.

Protip: Being a victim of hype makes you STUPID

[Mupepe]

damn, MAF.  HARSH

[Solo]

Being a victim of my own hype would make me stupid, I agree. Molyneux creating a bunch of false hype for previous games puts the yolk on his face though. Either way, whatever, who cares.

[MrAngryFace]

Why would you listen to ANYONE emotionally invested in their own creation.

He said that Fable 1 was his fault, he says he wasn't good enough of a designer to make it a better game than it was. But that he and the team learned alot from fable 1, and were making Fable 2 a better game, he says they really paid attention to what people said about fable 1.

So i'm hoping for a great game, i don't expect a masterpiece. We'll see what happens.

[MrAngryFace]

THIS JUST IN! PETER LOVES FABLE! WONDER WHY

[Solo]

I didnt listen to him, actually. I knew his epic promises would end in bitter tears for anyone who took them as gospel.

[MrAngryFace]

So what does it ultimately matter? Except to troll, which im totally into and I understand you then.

[ddk]

PM gets my money no matter what. The fact that the game looks awesome helps things a bit.

[Solo]

It doesnt matter. This is a forum where we make silly posts about silly hobbies, and this is just one of the million, lolz.

just ordered the LE today.

did u get your pub game codes?

not yet. amazon said that if i don't get them within 5 business days to email them and they'll send em.

[Bildi]

Holy fuck that looks awesome.  I was hyped for this, but my hype just went up another notch.

[Kestastrophe]

What are the extras in the LE?

[MrAngryFace]

Free Pub Games was the only good thing iirc

[Cormacaroni]

Looks very nice indeed. I haven't played a PM game I've liked since Populous though. The worst being Black & White, which I thought was going to be the most awesome thing ever. It was...for about the first 2hrs. Then it became torture.

[Oblivion]

Any big deal people are making out of this game is based on PM's pie in the sky promises on the first one. You should know that people (ESPECIALLY gamers) don't forget shit like that.

Fable certainly wasn't a great adventure game.

Update us on your progress, I wanna know for Banjo.

[lordmaji]

hopefully the combat is less clunky like it seems to be on the PC. The whole targeting thing throws me off on the PC version.

[ShogunOfFear]

Day fucking one.
