Game Informer E3'08: Fable 2 Updated Impressions

17
GI: "While the public seems to be eyeing Gears of War 2 as their next huge title, Fable 2 is looking more and more like it could steal the show. During our time with Microsoft here at E3, we were treated to an open demo of the game with famed designer Peter Molyneux. He took us around town a bit and fielded some lingering questions about the game.

First off, we got a few notes about the game itself. It's done at this point and took three years to make with a staff of 150 people. There is a huge focus on story but it's your story to create. Do you want to have a family or just roam the lands with your trusty dog? Its up to you and from what we've seen, no two experiences will be the same. There's a ridiculous amount of content in Fable 2 and we can only imagine play times will easily rival Oblivion."

Nothing else like it

For god's sake dont troll.

Anyway.Fable 2 is the embodiment of the creative genius of Peter Molyneux.The game has an astonishing amount of content and truly stands out among Western style RPGs.Length,replay value,and choice help flesh out this ambitious RPG.

Day 1 purchase for me by far.

It's my most anticipated this year. I'll be one of those guys buying all the buildings in the game! lol

It's crazy, every building you buy opens up new quests. Can't wait to spend a million on the Bowerstone castle to open up those missions! :)

Now where are those XBLA titles...

As much as I love Lionhead and Fable...soon to be Fable 2.

I have to agree with you on this. While I think Fable 2 could make a GOTY contender in reality it probably won't win it.

RPG of the year however....different story...

8.1 - How so?
You mean graphic-wise? I'm pretty sure Fable 2 looks better than any PS2 title you care to name. Not that it matters. The main focus of the game is depth. There is so much to do, and so many ways your experience can occur. The art style is just a medium for the awesome gameplay that the game is sure to contain...

This game is looking great so far, in both gameplay and graphics. Most likely a buy for me. That is if my income allows it...

Like I can see myself playing this, and taking a break with Gears of War 2. Then jumping into the new Call of Duty, Prince of Persia, the other rpgs on the 360. There really are a breath of titles that are screaming to be played and loved.

Fable 2 is really my favorite out of everything. I'll be reaching out to some of you guys for gamertags in a bit. Just don't kill my wife and kids....lol

Be a gamer...Not a hater
