Via John Kershaw of Ripten:

"With GDC just around the corner, the rumour mill is running at full speed. Normally most of these rumours turn out to be nothing more than falsities or let downs, but this one seems to be carrying some weight.

Fable 2 Multiplayer has been long rumoured, but will we finally be seeing some solid information and end to the speculation? Tips from key industry insiders are all indicating that Peter Molyneux will be announcing at next week's GDC that Fable 2 multiplayer will be coming, and giving us all some juicy information on the matter."

cool if they really do have a 4 player co-op this would be a really good idea. i seems like MS is putting co-op into all of their first party games which is a good idea since it extends the life of a game. Banjo 3 will also have co-op according to rare.

Fable is my favorite Western RPG series. Fable don't seem to be the type of game that need multiplayer. They should just stick to the single player, and add the multiplayer later if people want it.

well depending on how you look at it some games really dnt need multiplayer but any extra content is well welcomed as long as its not taking off quality from the core game. i heard fable might not even comeout this yr. ????

real immature to jst disagree i still want to know if fable hits this yr or not.
thanks |

co-op would be ok, it's something that's not really needed but I'm sure there will be quite a few people that would want it.

Fable didn't suck. It just deliver on all the promise Lionhead studio made. But it is still one of the best Western RPG to date.

3.3 - Relax guys
I never said I didn't like it (FirstKnight) and when I said I hope its better then the first one, I meant it in a way we all hope games improve over its predecessors, not in a way where I thought it sucked or something. I have nothing against this game, it's one of my favorite RPGs, relax. Again, who doesn't want it to get better then it already is?

Oh yeah, what about Killzone? Ha.

Killzone 2 development team is way larger than Killzone 1 and they're investing a lot more money. Fable 2 is the same core group with higher ambitions. They didn't get the single player right in the first so they should just focus on the single player here in Fable 2.

If you didn't like the single player in Fable than you clearly don't like games.

Fable was the last game I was playing for Xbox before I joined a fire crew some years back, Got rid of the Xbox and Fable, now I'm currently finishing the title through Xbox Originals.

Need Audio dialogue with ingame charactors in part two.

it was a great game but it's way too short. I played the extended version and it was still way too short in my taste. Also the age system didn't work really well as you grow old way too fast. All in all, it's a great game, not epic, but great nonetheless.

Can't they forget about multiplayer and focus on the singleplayer? I hate how MP is showing up in every game these days.
What was wrong with BioShock and Mass Effect? They were perfect and it was because the devs put all their foucs and effort into making the best singleplayer experience possible.

This was what I am talking about. Fable is just one of those game that doesn't need multiplayer. Why? Because the developers will be focusing one multiplayers, and might not put the same effort on the single player.

I dont see how they can fit a multiplayer co-op into an RPG.

How would they go about doing such a thing?

Peter is going to show us the third big feature and it's not multiplayer. Think about it, not everyone has LIVE and this is to be the most important feature in the game. I doubt he'll cripple it with multiplayer.

As for Co-Op, I don't really see how this could work. How about the loot system. Wouldn't your friend, or yourself become angry when whoever is getting all the loot? Besides you wouldn't be able to do the main quest line....there's only one little sister and one sword that Lucien wants to get.

As for the third feature itself....well lets just say that Lionhead has left some clues of which point to this feature having something to do with the world of Albion. I think it'll be a full simulation like world. They've already said they want to implement seasons. plus Peter has said in one of his interviews that he was in a field of tall grass and couldn't resist using a fire type spell to burn the field down.....so that right there is a godd indication of a simulating world, that goes deeper than most sim worlds.

Multiplayer isn't needed for this game. Its about promoting XBOX LIVE.
