peAr nectAr — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 10:15:29 MST

This game just went from must-rent to must-buy for me. Even if the game is short like the first one, I'm sure there's a ton of replayability in being a henchman for someone else.

I'll take anything Fable I can get, I loved that game for the Xbox, if I had to list the top 3 games I like the most Fable would be number two.

@Mech_Master: Cool, didn't catch that. Having the sound on would have helped. :)

This one is sneaking up on me... I haven't been overly excited about Fable 2 but seeing how cool it's looking now and with this coop news, I'm starting to believe.

@Irenicus-the one and only: At the demonstration when asked about online co-op, Peter more or less hinted that it would make it into the game and said he couldn't talk about the subject in further detail.

@Madeira: I believe that they were actually playing on the same xbox, but they are just having one single screen to follow both players, hence the part of the demonstration Peter was talking about the camera adjusting/following both players.

I had been counting down the days until GDC just for this presentation and it was definitely worth it. I'm pretty stoked for co-op especially when I decide it's time for me to raid a town or two. Not to mention the game just looks absolutely great.

@PreachingLlama: Wouldn't it have to be online? It's not splitscreen in that vid. It would be odd to show that off for it to only be local coop on 2 360s.

PreachingLlama — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 02:01:41 MST

@phantam: Co-op has not been confirmed to be online. If you watch the videos, an audience member asks Peter if its online and he simply says that things are not complete. Sounds to me like they are trying to make it online, but want to make sure it works before they commit.

What I liked about the vid is that you can choose the ratio of gold/experience/etc you split with your co-op buddy. For example, I take 75% of the gold, but my mate (who is a lower level) takes 80% of the experience. It means that being a goon for hire (in coop) is actually a job in the game (jobs/gambling are the only way you can make money).

Witzbold — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 01:50:57 MST

@Witzbold: Forgot to mention though its nice to hear in that GDC presentation with the demo of the game he talked about how they are still working on the combat system, so its not like they are just going to leave it at perhaps an overly simple 1 button push thing. Or at least spice it up a bit to make it work well.

Although Ill really hold my tongue now on praise or booing until I see another more complete gameplay video.

If anything once again this is very good news for the game though!

Its sure going to be fun when I get the game and watch my dog get stuck on all sorts of objects in the world!

Seriously though, I wonder how well are they going to work the Dogs AI and such. Not to mention what will worry me the most is how protective will you have to be of your dog so that it doesnt get ganked by enemies. Since we all know how fun it is to protect friendly AI in a game.

Co-op should be a blast though.

Hmmmmm.... i wonder if you can fight your henchmen. I mean if my friend started to kill my family i would take him on :)

i wish he would have said SOMETHING about fighting between players.

Also, what happenes if you run out of gold on the XBLA gambling minigames in like an hour? Is the game useless untill fable 2 comes out then? or can you re-up your gold? And will it cost REAL money to re-up your gold?

all questions i need answers to NOW!!! :)

BUT GAME LOOKS AMAZING!!!

I know what you mean. To me, however, that is one of the coolest things about the game. It makes the dog companion seem that much more useful.

I am extremely excited about this game, Molyneux really seems to be coming through with many of the promises he made regarding the first Fable, and now finally implementing them here. Co-op only makes the prospect of this game more fantastic.

Archaotic — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 22:32:48 MST

@Moonshadow101:
If the dog's the main point of the game, then why play it?

What about for people who think dogs are annoying or would rather not have an AI-controlled puppet following them around for an entire game? I know Molyneux is trying to foster an emotional connection to the game through the dog, but for people who don't like dogs that seems like it could be more of a deterrent than a connector, y'know?

That and I don't like the thought of a DOG acting as my minimap. That just seems silly and backwards.

Belain — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 22:17:41 MST

I revised the post to make it more accurate:

"Peter Molyneux took the stage this morning to talk more Fable 2, and announce two new features that will not be making their way into the final game."

But seriously, while I am looking forward to this game (i didnt mind the last one, and I love RPGs) I wouldnt consider it an included feature until i actually used it on a retail release copy of the game. Until that happens "feature" is synonymous with "blatant lie."

Can some please tell this guy "under promise, over deliver." I guess theres no direct translation for that in French.

Archaotic — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 21:22:10 MST

Co-op's nice, it made Crackdown ages more fun than it would've been as a purely solo game.

However, my only question here is if there's going to be a way to get rid of the dog. That's all I ask.

phantam — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 20:20:35 MST

umm not to be an ass but ... when did they say te XBLA game would cost money... THEY DIDNT

co-op is for ONLINE, he didnt mention if local will be available , considering he said "when he then logs off and goes back to playing alone he takes his earnings and skill back to his xbox with him"

Also....

No you don't "need" the XBLA game to make money for the real game... it's just anotehr way to do it, and a way to do it a few weeks before the real gam is out so you can start saving up some loot for day 1 with the real game.

You can also gamble in the real game, and actually do work and jobs to earn money the proper way, the XBLA arcade is a way to get a jump on earning cash, as well as a bit of a marketing idea to get the fable2 word out ahead of the real game release.

@omegalbagel: im behind you on that one have some buddies dieing to do it, i mean come on you can have familys grow old together, can buy houses, can plant trees ad stuff and actually see them grow over the corse of your life... i mean thats juts wicked

if my xbox hasnt killed itself by the time fable 2 is released (read: red ring) I'm purchasing this title 100%. The first fable was wonderful - in my opinion. The lost chapters was a nice attempt at keeping some of the ealier promises made about the game. I hope the promises being made about fable 2 are all genuine.

Toasticus — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:36:18 MST

I was fortunate enough to play the original Fable a while after it was released without any knowledge of the apparently disastrous hype machine around it, and although it bordered on being disappointingly easy I still enjoyed it overall. I'm looking forward to the sequel as being at least as good a game, and hopefully much better, but I'm taking these promises with a grain of salt. It'll probably be a good game, and worth playing, but not a masterpiece. That's my guess anyway.

psi88 — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:30:07 MST

Sorry guys but does anyone believe what Peter spouts from his vivid imagination will have any bearing on the final product beyond what it looks like,

When it comes his developments, I'm now a firm believer in "believe it when i see it", far too many times i've been bitten now to fall for the "in my mind" hype from Peter Molyneux..

I dont hate any of his previous output and i'm a big fan of his ideas when they work, but i doubt fable will be something "day one purchase" special, i should imagine once you strip back the layers it will be the same again but with added "well that didnt actually make the final build but in my next game you'll really see x y and z"..

Just wondering, because I know some people prefer to have girl characters. That would be a little freaky, having virtual man-babies. Assuming your friend is a guy in real life of course. Also assuming you are. But one of your chaacters isn't.

If not, oh well, I can still shoot their spouses, put an Axe in their children, and burn down their farm, right?

Oh wait, that just what Peter promised us. We might be able to start a small brushfire on their property with magic, though.

@Irenicus-the one and only:
It sounds like it's online co-op, because Luke mentioned a player and his/her friend both having copies of the game...

Which is unfortunate because my best friends don't even own an X-box. I understand a split-screen may be awkward in this sort of game, and a same-screen would be restricting, but co-op on the same system is better IMO.

I'll still be getting it, I loved the first one.

If the XBLA thing is free then it is great, if I happen to missunderstand it. The co-op part sounds cool, but no online co-op?

Cannot wait for the game, this feature sounds like a great idea. It will be done in every game from now on.

I Have an Idea! Maybe they can include a special Xbox Live Promo Code inside each fable 2 case to download the XBLA game for free....then only people who dont own fable 2 have to "buy' the minigame?

This game is looking better and better by the day. Big fan of the first Fable, now I'm pretty pumped for the new one!

I wonder if each minigame will cost the normal 800 ms points or if they will be bundled.
Would be a crafty kick in the pants if they fleece you for 20-30 real bux extra to earn in game money.

This game is my most anticipated now. Co-op will add so much replay value to the game....awesome.

@Kirbytheslayer: In-Kirby XMB: Well...Don't get it for PC then. By the time it comes out it'll require something like Pixel-Shader 4 and DirectX11.

Wait, so we get to "buy"? XBLA game with... minigames to earn money for the full game? Thats a terrible idea.

Well, now I'm confused. How are they going to do this for the inevitable PC version? I bought Fable on the PC, and I plan to get Fable 2 on the PC. But I want my cheap gambling mini-game!
