Excellent Fable 2 Video Walkthrough With Series Creator, Peter Molyneux - AusGamers

AusGamers have posted another TGS interview video, this time featuring Peter Molyneux as they play through a short portion of the game while he sits and explains - in detail - the fighting, magic and ranged combat upgrade system, the game-world's deep manifest of hidden secrets, companionship with NPCs and how much he dislikes people how use block in videogames.

It's a 30 minute interview, but well worth a look for anyone interested in this game.

It's a long video, but well worth it. These guys thought they knew what the go with the game was - they were mistaken!

RoidRage5701d ago

Nice vid. The combat sounds like it has alot more depth than what my first impressions were. I really hope the social and moral side of the game are as intricate and full as I'm hoping. Fable 1 had it, but it felt really hollow.

saucygit5701d ago

I love the question at the end and Moly's response. I was hoping for an answer but ha we'll see. great example of how the game works. Gonna be a blast.

bamyrick2265701d ago

sorry, but this guy is as boring as this game looks.it may get good reviews but this is crap, littlebigplanet will be similar for me just so you dont think im a fanboy. too many other games coming out for this kind of garbage.

Agent VX5701d ago (Edited 5701d ago )

I have to agree, if both Fable II and LBP are the "BIG" games this holiday season, then this is a complete Dumbing down of the Hardcore gamer.

Both Fable and LBP look like a complete borefest, a really disappointing holiday season beside a few jems like GeOW 2, Fallout 3 and Resistance 2.

TornRaptor5701d ago (Edited 5701d ago )

The gaming world is big enough for more than shoot fests.
I want Fable 2 as much as i want LBP prob more than i do another generic shooter

Agent VX5701d ago

No, actually a game like Empire: Total War, but unfortunetly that game don't come out until Feb 2009.

darkequitus5701d ago (Edited 5701d ago )

I think the worl is big enough for a variety of game styles and genres. I am A FPS/shoot fest Wh*re, but I still have time for Via Pinata:TIP. The Wii (Though I got rid of mine after two week) shows that.

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?

DrDoomer170d ago

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

raWfodog170d ago

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

BrainSyphoned170d 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*

Husker42c170d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb170d ago

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

ChasterMies170d ago (Edited 170d 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_Mal170d ago (Edited 170d 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.

darthv72169d 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.

Hofstaderman170d ago

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

Profchaos169d ago (Edited 169d 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.

BehindTheRows169d 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.

Crows90333d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson333d ago

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

GaboonViper333d ago

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

got_dam333d 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.

cthulhucultist333d 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.

Demetrius333d 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.

thorstein909d ago

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

I am biased.

Hofstaderman909d ago (Edited 909d 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

Jiub909d ago

Sometimes I forget how much of a powerhouse the PS1 was

MadLad909d 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.

Jiub909d ago

IMO: Chrono Trigger and Suikoden II

thorstein909d ago

Octopath Traveler is really good.

BlaqMagiq1909d ago

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

Exvalos909d ago

Man your dang near spot on absolute spot on choices

Epicor908d 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.

MadLad909d ago (Edited 909d 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.

LoveSpuds909d ago (Edited 909d ago )

Some quality taste in games there squire.

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

MadLad908d ago

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

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

Omegasyde908d ago

Loved rouge galaxy. Fav game from Level 5.

ManMarmalade909d ago

Legend of Dragoon #1 game of all time for me
