Hmm, looks very similar to first Fable art, but I think this one is better. Aww nevermind, just look at this!
With Microsoft’s Gamers’ Day going on tomorrow, and some of their thunder already stolen, it’s good to see that there is still much left to be seen. These new screens are accompanied by some new info as well, though the few new details will likely pale in comparison to tomorrow’s news. For now the news is that the game is about 20-30 times larger than the first, it has dynamic weather and seasons, and it won’t be the last Fable game. In fact, Lionhead apparently has three more titles left for future release. Whether or not the Fable 2 Arcade games are included in that count was not mentioned (though it seems likely).
MGS 4 Last Trailer + Fable 2 Screenshots
Posted on 2008 under PS3, Screenshots, xbox360 | 1 Comment1 May
Last trailer of upcoming MGS 4 for PS3, hope you enjoy it.
Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux has revealed there will be a total of three Xbox Live Arcade games that will let you earn money for use in Fable 2.
He unveiled the first of these, Keystone, at GDC in February, and uncovered plans for two more in the recent Major Nelson podcast.
“The idea is this: Carbonated Games, part of Microsoft, have made some great casual games, Arcade titles. They have got three titles, one called Keystone, one called Wizard’s Tower and one called Mage Dice,” said Molyneux.
These “semi-gambling” games will reward you with Fable gold if you win. When Fable 2 eventually comes out (sometime this autumn), you will be able to use your accrued funds in game.
Peter Molyneux, the visionary behind Lionhead Studios and the Fable series, once promised us that in Fable, the player would be able to plant an acorn and watch it grow into a tree. Things didn’t quite work out. But that isn’t stopping Molyneux from attempting a little something we like to call a do-over with Fable 2.
I can tell you definitively that there is absolutely an acorn and it does absolutely grow into a tree. And it is actually part of the story now. We decided we got into so much trouble over acorns and trees that we are going to make it part of the main thread of the story in “Fable 2″.
Somewhere deep in the bowels of Lionhead, Molyneux is whipping the technical programmers to make room for at least “2 or 3 more acorns.” The cries for help are horrid.
Peter is very crazy one, so we able to wait ANYTHING from him with his acorn. Stay tuned, soon we will know about his crazy ideas.
In an attempt to get you more excited about Fable 2s release, Peter Molyneux and the studly geniuses at Lionhead are giving you an early taste in the form of an Xbox Live Arcade game.
Keystone is a downloadable XBLA game that will release prior to Fable 2. Its just one of the many mini-games found in Fable 2, but Keystone will let you gamble and win gold that you can then transfer into your Fable 2 saved game. You can be a rich bitch before you even enter the world of Albion!
No release date has been given for either Fable 2 or Keystone, but the stars are aligning for a Summer delivery. Keystone already looks ready to go, so it can up and surprise us at any time. Be on the lookout for that crafty bastard on the marketplace, or just stay tuned to Ripten and well let you know when its coming out.
There were many things originally planned for the first Fable that didn’t make it into the final product. One of these exciting features was co-op play. It was functional, playable and pretty damned cool at E3 2003. Now Molyneux’s original vision of an RPG you can play on the couch with your buddy is soon to become a reality. Cooperative play is alive and kicking in Fable 2 and is the third of (what has now become) four innovations in Lionhead Studios’ upcoming RPG.
In Fable 2, you are the last hero of Albion. At least, the last person who seems to realize he (or she) is a hero. Your primary goal is to search the world for other heroes and recruit them to create a sort of medieval Avengers. Time is of the essence as a mysterious rival is assembling their own group of heroes (or villains). Whether or not this ties into online functionality for Fable 2 is unknown at this time. All Lionhead mastermind Peter Molyneux would talk about was the single-console co-op mode.
Whoaaa, so hot, so nice, and so similar to first Fable.
Here’s pack of HD screens, enjoy:
Today is great day in game history. Piter Moulyneux announced and shown CO-OP mode for Fable 2 on Xbox360 at GDC. He also announced Xbox Live Arcade game - “Keystone”. You will able to earn money in Keystone, and then transfer this money to Fable 2.
