PS360PCROCKS6261d ago

yeah this looks like it will be shaping up nicely, cool idea with the dog

Solidus6261d ago

My god Peter has finally completely lost his dang mind. And I hope that is just a tech demo because it looks exactly like Fable 1. Im still sore over the first fable Peter promised all this crazy stuff and it didnt deliver on any of it.

Legionaire20056261d ago (Edited 6261d ago )

You won't be disappointed, because this game is going to be filled with Havoc physics in combat!!! Yes I said Havoc physic that is so realistic you can call Fable 2 a unparallel experience. Yes the combat is deep. I saw a tech demo before this in a news video sometime in 2006 on News4gamers.com( which is now N4G.com)that show the fable physics in action where the character can use anything in the environment as a weapon to fight enemies.

nicodemus6261d ago

It's way too early to be criticizing the graphics! The video demonstrating the fighting technology (which, to my knowledge, was the only video released prior to this one) used stick figures! The game is very early in developement!

Fable 2 is going to be awesome. I'm really glad xbox has a developer like Molyneux, who's always thinking outside the box. And it looks like he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve for this one. Now all we need is BC!

Rasputin20116261d ago

I hate how almost everybody starts to complain about graphics of tech demos all the freaking time..Like its is clearly stated that it is a TECH DEMO. Peter Molyneux is not like "Here is my final product...please drool and admire..thank you". People please get real sometime soon.

zerofunction6261d ago

Looks like its going to be alot of fun.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer148d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog147d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned148d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c147d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb147d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies148d ago (Edited 148d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal147d ago (Edited 147d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72147d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman147d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos147d ago (Edited 147d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows147d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Fable II - A Fantasy Series at Peak Performance

Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.

Crows90311d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson311d ago

I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.

GaboonViper311d ago

Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.

got_dam311d ago

Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.

cthulhucultist311d ago

Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.

You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.

The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.

But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.

Demetrius310d ago

I only got to play it once 😩 I'm so tempted to buy a Xbox 360 slim but planning on getting the series x soon since I got a PS5 in February Im ready to get saints row 1&2 back, GTA 4, fable 2, but I also want to play infamous 1&2 again Sony screwed us over with the stream only for saints row 2 and other gems smh

Dragon Quest 11 isn't even the best Dragon Quest game, it's a good game, but not the best. Dragon Quest 8 is superior to it in almost every way.

thorstein886d ago

...and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4....

I am biased.

Hofstaderman886d ago (Edited 886d ago )

OK let's end this, in order
Xenogears
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 9
Final Fantasy 6
Chrono Trigger
Legend of Dragoon
Breath of Fire 4
Breath of Fire 3
Dragon Quest 8
Dragon Quest 11
Vagrant Story
Saga Frontier 2
Chrono Cross
Suikoden 2
Suikoden
Threads of Fate
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Lunar 2

Jiub886d ago

Sometimes I forget how much of a powerhouse the PS1 was

MadLad886d ago

I don't play too many jrpgs, and I'm trying to diversify a bit.

Outside of FF and Dragon Quest, what two games from that list do you most recommend someone trying? Doesn't matter if it's a sequel to another game or not.

Jiub886d ago

IMO: Chrono Trigger and Suikoden II

thorstein886d ago

Octopath Traveler is really good.

BlaqMagiq1886d ago

You have Threads of Fate on there which means you get my ultimate respect. Underrated and overlooked.

Exvalos886d ago

Man your dang near spot on absolute spot on choices

Epicor886d ago

I like your top 6 a lot. I don't have the same orders but all those games would make my top 10 RPG list most likely. Number 1 for me is FFIX. It holds a special place in my heart and imo it's the perfect Final Fantasy game.

In addition I would give special mention to some western RPG's as well: Skyrim and Mass Effect 2 were iconic games. Out of JRPG's I'd like to add Disgaea 2 on that list.

MadLad886d ago (Edited 886d ago )

Some of my personal favorites are Planescape: Torment, New Vegas, Morrowind, Kotor 2, Wasteland 3, Witcher 2, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Deus Ex, Disco Elysium and Vampyr.

As far as jrpg, while I'm not as big a fan as I am for Western RPGs, I love Persona 3 - 5, Dragon Quest 8 and 11, Rogue Galaxy, Final Fantast 6,7, and 12; and Lost Odyssey.

LoveSpuds886d ago (Edited 886d ago )

Some quality taste in games there squire.

I'd add some Baldurs Gate 2 and Neverwinter Nights from back in the day too.

MadLad886d ago

Should have added BG2. Played through it many times over the years.

Never could get into Neverwinter Nights though. Not sure why.

Omegasyde886d ago

Loved rouge galaxy. Fav game from Level 5.

ManMarmalade886d ago

Legend of Dragoon #1 game of all time for me
