Re: Fable 2

Have we been given a release date besides Holiday 2008? Despite its shortcomings, Fable really was one of my favorite games last-gen. There was just something about it, and like I Tendrils I really like the art style.

Nope, but apparently we will get a date soon. My guess would be at E3 next month.

Lack of updates and video diary six

Quote:
Yeah, there have been hardly any updates lately; so much has been going on! Everyone is working really hard, its crunch in Guildford and we're working our arses off on Fable 2 and the other game. There's just not enough hours in the day, but I'm going to try and post more again in all the blogs. Don't count on any developers making any postings, they're all dug in with the bug fixing and whatever else, although I like to read what they post.

Video diary 6 is now locked for a release on 24th June! That's a date there! Yeah!! Number seven hasn't been made yet, but nine has had a first pass, work on episode seven won't start for a couple of weeks but you will get to see some other things in the meantime... This Friday there'll be three new screenshots for subscribers to the Fable 2 newsletter and we've got even better things lined up for fans of stories later on in this month's programming! Oh and there will be MORE.

Tomorrow (the same Friday as the screenshots) I'm going to try out my new (untested) technical solution for HD capture from a dev kit with all bells and whistles on. It's going to ROCK! YEAH!!! I need a USB keyboard first.

A lot of new people have been starting on the team; numerous testers are playing the game around the clock, it's a sight to behold! The Bug Blitz you know from one of the video diaries is now in absolute full swing. IT'S SO EXCITING. Tensions for some people are growing extremely tight, like a donkey's hole; nevertheless I'd not want to be anywhere else right now as a gamer working with so many gifted talents on Fable 2. Reminds me of the first game I ever worked on as a community manager -- aka the crunch on Fable. Each day gone is a day closer to that final date (which is going to be announced real soon I-HOPE-NOW-YEAH!!!). Scary times!

Louise seems to be coping very well I saw her talking on a headphone while eating a take away meal. There are many of those being eaten of late. Peter reminds me of a bear and other times of a sneaky student. The goal at the moment is to film everyone as much as I can, each day there's being filmed now (with the stress on, this is not easy) and hopefully there is footage of everyone on the development team. I'm trying to have the camera 'observe' what goes on. The total hours of footage is getting close to 80 now. So much to work with...it's scary...and now for that HD game footage, yeah?

Re: Fable 2

Can't wait for this..I'm not really into RPG's & Fable is the only one I've ever played to the end.

The details & pics/video released so far look very promising.

Fable 2: Meet the Populous

Quote:
Being a hero doesn't mean much if there aren't people around to appreciate it. Here's a fun fact you may not have known: Fable 2 has a lot of AI controlled people in it to glorify or villify you. Fancy that. In the name of these non-player characters (NPCs), we've put together a feature to introduce you to them and fill you in on how much they matter to the world of Albion. We'll begin with the introduction of three NPCs that you'll likely bump into on the road to becoming a hero. So meet Arfur, Barnum and Giles and then continue on for an interview with Dene Carter, creative director for Fable 2, on interacting with these chaps and more.

Fable 2 Diary Ep 6: Art and the Hero

Quote:
Furiously scribbling away and glued to their monitors all day, Lionhead’s artists are light at heart but hard at work on the Xbox 360 exclusive “Fable 2,” the highly-anticipated sequel to the best-selling Xbox exclusive “Fable.” In Episode 6, the team shares their thoughts on the importance of concept art and technical animations in the creation of “Fable 2” and challenges that they must overcome. In a game that allows players to truly live the life they choose, where every choice continually defines who the character becomes, the art of morphing the hero also cannot be missed. Hear the artistic crew explain the morphing of the hero and customization features that will be expanding leaps and bounds beyond the scope and depth of the original Xbox classic. The lads on the team also take a break from their desks to answer the question: “What would you do if you were a woman for a day?”



From the video.




So, October it is. Diary is also up on the Marketplace.

Re: Fable 2

Man, this game cant come soon enough. This holiday season (Oct-Jan) is going to kill my wallet if even 3/4 of the games I'm anticipating are any good.

Re: Fable 2

Another very nice year for 360 releases IMO.

Re: Fable 2

This game looks beautiful. I have never played the original, does the story from the first one tie to the sequel?

What is the difference between the regular Fable vs. The Lost Chapters version?
