Fable 2

Posted on February 20, 2008

THIS looks pretty interesting.

Usually I try to avoid looking at the hype for Peter Molyneux games because… well, they usually don’t live up to everything he says.

But this article is really nice– he’s actually SHOWING you what he’s promising, so you HAVE to believe him. The video isn’t very exciting to watch, but it’s cool to see. I think this game will really nail what games (as they largely are now) are all about providing the player: Immersion in a wonderful environment (talked about this a little in the Portal post). Fable 2’s story probably won’t blow any one away (saving this for a future post) and I don’t really see the actual gameplay (the combat, which seems to be the bulk of the game) being revolutionary either. But I have to say, the idea of traveling through this world with a buddy couldn’t be more appealing! If they don’t have online co-op theres gonna be trouble!

Can’t wait to see more.

Final note: GDC is going on and there’s lots of exciting news. Expect more posts. For real!
