The graveyard shot looks, beautiful. Yet the other shot has some sort of red watermark thing in the middle, awful compression, and no anti-aliasing. Fail Lionhead. Utter fail Kotaku.

That graveyard is gorgeous! Give me the game just for that!

Like the first Fable, the art design looks great.

Great house, shame about the wife.

Very excited. Maybe even more excited for it then anything else.

Excellent, I'm gettign bored playing the first two(I included TLC as one) to death now. Good thing GTA came out to keep me waiting for this.

The original fable was fantastic. REally underappreciated. Plus, best graphics on the original Xbox.

I can't wait for Fable 2.

@robinandtami: Indeed. I am looking forward to playing in a friend's world, killing his wife and farting on the corpse.

i absolutely loved the original fable, and it was under appreciated, with any luck this game will be even better but keeping the same beautiful style and feel to it

@JoRo1986: They should! From that screen of the house especially. It shows that they have in-game (I'm assuming) footage.

@7ucky: Yes it does :-P

@Krondonian: You should send that into Mozilla. Maybe we could get an add-on!

this game will likely be the one that forces me to buy a 360, man do i hope it hits pc. spore and mass effect shoudl hold me over as i wait on the pc version to be either confirmed or completley tossed.

Kaneda — Thu, 01 May 2008 12:41:50 MDT

@badmoogle: Same here. Were the hell are all the usual Playstation RPGs I mostly bought a PS3 for? No FF, no Star Ocean, no DQ, no Suikoden, no Xenogears, No Wild Arms no white Knight (or whatever that was), no nothing. And I know that Valkirie Of the Battlefield game looks cool, but it's not going to get me my fix.

So get to work, people!

I would definately consider buying a 360 if it had more games like this.

@MegaWatts:

amen to that. I'm so fucking sick of system a is better than system b is better than system c. they all have their ups and downs. I'll probably pick up a 360 closer to the release of this game, it's looking to be shaping up really nicely.

What I want to know is if you can still make your character fart and act stupid. That was probably the most fun part of Fable!

While I haven't listened to the Molyneux hype this time around either and don't know what to expect to never see in the game, what I have seen and do know will be in there is enough to have me drooling. I love the original Fable, now just improve that slightly, add coop... and I'm sold. As is my fiancée. Hopefully I'll be able to keep my job once this is out.

The first game had issues and didn't quite do it for me. But, I'm hoping I can add this to the list of titles I want for my 360 this year.

So far, it's looking like a pretty uneventful year for my noisy, but loyal 360.

I like how you can see inside the house through the open door which implies no load screens and no vanishing-through-the-closed-door... NPCs a la Oblivion.

zoesch — Thu, 01 May 2008 10:36:51 MDT

@Krondonian: Even though I liked Fable, those were the elements that I found were lacking.

If they fix them, they'd have one of the best RPG's in the market.

Krondonian — Thu, 01 May 2008 10:34:20 MDT

@Krondonian:

*A combat system that remains easy and fun...
*A completely useless weapon hierarchy system, as there is always one weapon that is the best, which means one of two melee weapons after about 10 hours? Hopefully not, even.

If only Firefox had a Stupid Checker...

jambe — Thu, 01 May 2008 10:27:19 MDT

Well, it looks good, but I don't like Peter Molyneux, and I'm still playing Oblivion, so there's pretty much no way I'm getting this.

Talryyn — Thu, 01 May 2008 10:23:32 MDT

The fact that they use sooo many colors is a turn off, I thought brown and grey were still in. Color was so 1980's...

Looks great, can't wait to play, GOTY???

Now for Kotaku to call Remedy and get new Alan Wake screens. Going to buy another 360 tomorrow so I can play when my wife is using the other 360 for MCE duties. Darn MS for making the 360 the center of our entertainment center.

For all that don't know and have not purchased GTA yet, check out the deal Circuit City has, can I say that?

Krondonian — Thu, 01 May 2008 10:23:22 MDT

From what I've heard so far, Lionhead are going all out to improve everything I found annoying, restrictive or broken in the last game.

A free world, rather than sticking to bloody paths everywhere? Check.

An in game economy not utterly broken? Hopefully.

A combat system that remains easy and funny, but with hidden depth? Perhaps a check there.

A good/evil moral choices idea that doesn't really mean a slider for good and bad, where massacring innocents is the only way to be evil, and the choices you make have absolutely no difference to the game? Hopefully.

A weapon hierarchy system completely useless, as there is always one weapon that is the best, which means one of two melee weapons after about 10 hours? Hopefully.

Combine those improvements with the awesome dialouge, art, graphics and atmosphere of the first, with true Britishness and flair?

Count me in.

thebetamax — Thu, 01 May 2008 10:12:27 MDT

I wonder if your in-game offspring can continue your quest after you have died. So maybe the game encourages in-game families. If that's the case hopefully it rewards gamers who don't have families buy giving them stronger weapons/armor to keep them alive longer...

Fable was one of my favourite games of all time and I cant wait to play Fable2. This game is VERY high on my must buy list.

I wish PS3 people could enjoy this game on their platform also. The first one was awesome!

PS3 people buy a 360. I did. I have all 3 consoles so I can play all the new games no matter what console the game is exclusive to.

Stupid console war.

This is the only game that X360 has that makes my ps3 tendencies cringe. I hope it comes out for PC. I love Lionhead Studios. I hope they could get this done so I can play it and then could make black and white 3!
