Microsoft posted this handful of screenshots from that Xbox 360 exclusive RPG fans have been clamoring about. These screens aren’t showing the best side of Fable 2, but that could be just me.
Fable 2 debuts later this year on October 21st.
According to Peter Molyneux, Fable 2 is essentially finished. They have time to polish it all up, but the game is pretty much ready to go.
It’s no wonder these gameplay demonstrations looked so great. Very bright, but great! I just wished he showed more combat and a lot less of the mating rituals.
What a day it’s been. That Microsoft press conference was quite the bore up until the very end when “shit got real”. Anyways, for those who don’t have the time to scour the net for all the juicy footage and essential info, I did it all for you. Enjoy.
Trust me, this list is a lot more exciting than having it slowly revealed to you.
If you’re looking for incentives to pre-order Fable 2, this compilation of mini-games for XBLA may not be it. Those who choose to pre-order will receive a free copy of Fable 2 Pub Games. Prospective Fable 2 owners will be able to earn in-game gold through these casino mini-games. Those who wish to play these games without pre-ordering Fable 2, will be able to purchase Pub Games for 800 MS points. Fable 2 Pub Games is expected to be released sometime in August.
Full press release with details on the Pub Games and Collector’s Edition below:
Three Fable 2 screenshots come our way and you know what? They look great. Love the style of this game. We’re all still expecting this title to arrive late 2008 exclusively for the Xbox 360, but I want this game delayed if needed and not underdeliver like the original Fable.
Molyneux says no to a Fable 2 demo (if he had the choice), but Too Human’s Dyack, on the other hand, is more than willing to provide one for his upcoming game.
Luckily for Molyneux, I don’t need a demo to convince me to buy his game. I enjoyed Fable despite it not delivering what Molyneux promised. I’m undecided with Too Human. The demo better be damn good. It can either launch it to stardom or doom it. I’ll be able to make my decision sometime before August 19th.
Peter Molyneux talks a lot. He says lots of nice things and promises many features for his games, but more often than not: he fails to deliver. Or so they say. I personally tuned him out and conciously not get swept away by the hype of any of games. I am trying to create the same kind of scenario I came into Fable with. I knew very little about the game or its promises and I enjoyed it a lot more.
Fable 2 is his latest project and it looks to be very impressive. GameTrailers has some of his demonstrations below which showcase some of the game’s family features and co-op function. An RPG with co-op? Neat. By the looks of it, it appears to be offline co-op. Why else do they need both players to be on the same screen? Anyways, check out the demonstrations below and be sure to wear sunglasses because there’s some ridiculous amount bloom in that game.
There’s also some kind of XBLA game which can earn you Fable 2 money.
