Fable 2

Recommended Posts

Oh dear. After reading the reports on Molyneux' GDC conference and actually seeing it myself on Gametrailers... I'm very excited. Which is a very dangerous thing. Because we're dealing with Molyneux.

Don't get me wrong, I liked last year's Realistic Dog Following You Around, but what we see now really tickles my fancy. Especially the singleplayer co-op where someone can just jump in and out of the game, on the same console, and earn experience and gold via a centralized online register of all the characters (though my Xbox isn't hooked up to the internet I'm sure I'll be able to play). And for the rest, it's all the familiar Lionhead foibles and fetishes; dynamic game world, You Can Do Fucking Everything, Molyneux having designed his entire house, XBLA games earning Fable gold...

And I can't believe it, but I'm believing it again. I can't wait to play Fable 2. The difference is, of course, that I'm laughing all the way to the release date this time, hearing what Peter comes up with next. Even remotely plausible things get this air of being insanely wacky 'Fumpkin' gimmicks. Awesome. Fable 2.

Molyneux's bit yesterday was a part of the MS keynote, and the main Fable 2 session is on Friday, so more hand waving and breakable promises to come :)
