Fable 2 Hours from Gold, Molyneux Awaits Reactions

Fable 2 is days, if not hours from going gold, Lionhead Studio's Sam Van Tilburgh told Kotaku today. "We have one or two bugs that are keeping us from going gold," Van Tilburgh said.

Van Tilburgh was excited to finally give gamers a chance to check out the game for themselves at the Penny Arcade Expo and so is designer Peter Molyneux. "I've been talking to him about the reaction," he said. "He asks what the reaction to the game has been. What do they think about the combat."

Van Tilburgh said that 97 percent of the reaction has been very positive over the first two days of the show.

1.1 - Sorry The Hater

I will give you a bubble for taking the story. No hard feelings I hope...:)

Anyways I am excited for Fable 2. Western RPGS have come a long way IMO. And the online co-op also looks really nice.

dude, as soon as I saw fable 2 going gold in a few hours, I got so excited, and was hoping the release the game a lot sooner. But sadly, they aren't :(
But yeah, Western RPG have come a lot way.

As for the online co-op, I am sure it going to be a lot of fun with a buddy. But for me personally, I am not very excited for the online Co-op. I prefer to play RPG by myself because I enjoy it more. I can do any quests I want, and don't have to worried if my co-op buddy want to do that quest or not.

You dont have to suffer pharmhd. Wait for the pricecut and then purchase one, or perhaps trade in your ps3.

Gold means that the game code is finished and has been sent to the disc manufacturers to be made into full retail discs. Platinum deals with sale figures.

Not to talk down about this game but it's to large to go and say the bug will all be worked out. This has a Oct. release and they are trying to finish it. I say keep it cooking. Look at Mass Effect and you will see what I am saying.

TheHater, gold means ready for shipment/retail. It does not mean all bugs and kinks are worked out. That's for sure.

Well, The Hater is correct in some sense. It does mean that all [known] bug are worked out. (Or, so the Devs say. hehe)

A couple bugs to fix isn't a big deal, devs sometimes fix upwards of 100 bugs in a day during the polishing of a build. Also, it doesn't release until Oct 21, that's almost 2 monthes from now.

6 - Who cares about the bugs?

Even a Sony fanboy like me will admit that Fable 2 is gonna be one of the best titles coming out this year on either console. I think the original fable was ahead of its time, and now that people are used to big games they will beable to understand and adore this game. Man I cant believe this game is finally coming. This game is the sole reason why I kept my 360.

I still think it was magic powder in our eyes and actually behind games like most bioware titles and Kotor (yet bioware again ) in both scales and liberty of choices .

Dont misunderstand i actually believe this time around it might be a really good title , especially since Molyneux kept his PR antics down to a minimum .

You missed Gears 2 there. And NG2 with a 8.2 out of 10 average is a good game to me.

MGS4 is not for everybody being 50% cut scenes, so actually the games worth on the PS3 this year are only Little Big Planet and Resistance 2 maybe. For me only LBP would be one to own a PS3 for. Which is not enough to justify 400 Euro. That would need at least God of War III amd GT5 (not the demo)

I've actually got 4 games that I am getting for 360 this year, Fable 2, Gears 2, Left 4 Dead, and Fallout 3. The only ps3 game I might check out is Resistance 2, but that will only be after the reviews come in. Ps3 exclusives have a bad habit of not living up to the hype. Ah, probably just rent it.

"clearly you for commenting that :)"

Good. Glad you said that. So, now, when you come into a 360 article (which is always) and say that you don't care.. I'm gonna remind you of what you just said. =)

this game and gears 2 are sadly the only games im looking forward to playing on my 360. it seems like my ps3 will be promintent in 2009 because i dont see any 360 games that particualary intrest me. even my wii should have a kid acarus and a zelda. oh well buying games for every system was getting espensive neway maybe i should just sell my 360 and stop paying for live since i dont use it anyway

I feel the same way, except about the ps3. Little Big Level Editor is of no interest to me, and Resistance 1 was generic, so I'm having a wait and see attitude regarding Resistance 2. I've considered selling my ps3 and 4 games because I only use it once every blue moon.
