Microsoft just put out three new Fable 2 screens. They’re pretty. So why aren’t we feeling it? After the break.

This or Little Big Planet… I don’t know which will be my game of the year but I know it’s going to be a close one.
Awesome time to be a gamer.

I’m still not entirely sold on the character design, but the environments look great.
If I end up with a 360 then this will definitely be on the list.

I don’t understand it. Maybe I’m dead inside, or something. It just doesn’t “do it” for me at all. And I normally love this sort of thing.
June 13th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Have you seen the vids pat? I’ll assume yes in which case, yes - you’re dead inside.
June 13th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Maybe he doesn’t like dogs?

So many people I know are going bonkers for it. I really do get excited about most games. I think it’s the art style.

I’m with pat on this, can’t stand the character designs, I’m guessing its like marmite.
Didnt like the first game either I felt for a game in dev for so long, it seemed rushed. Also the amount of load, WTF?!?!

On a slightly different note. Those screenshots look like they’ve got some strange artifacts that weren’t present in the last bunch we got. Maybe resized from print resolution or something.
June 13th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
PT: Those are straight off the bat. I haven’t processed them at all.
June 13th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
I guess thats what happens when you get closer to release, when certain things need to be scaled back.
June 13th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Pat: Was thinking more of the source than you. =)
lol… Newbie you’re such an effortless troll. Those aren’t the sort of artifacts that are caused by an engine downgrade.
June 13th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Newbie: I don’t think the first game helped, you’re right. I wans’t really “into” RPGs when it came out, so hitting bees just made me turn it off. Maybe it’ll be different this time, though.
June 13th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Yeah, I know. Was just saying
June 13th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Oh and Pat… I’m still loving the royal “we”.
June 13th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Why’s that so weird? It’s an age-old convention, that.
June 13th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Yes, but in this case we know it’s a single person’s opinion.
June 13th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
There’s morriss, too
Although he’s rabid for it, so that doesn’t count. Ah well.
June 13th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Can’t help it. I don’t like the style/art direction of Fable at all.
Definitely NOT a game for me.
June 13th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
The closer it gets the more excited I become. I loved Fable, flaws and all. Actually, how come we Fable fans always use that term to describe PM’s games. All games are flawed. Fable was great. I guess PM pumped it up too much and so people were more like ‘why doesn’t it have *this* and *that* like he said’ instead of ‘this is a great game’. Load times and lack of being able to go everywhere were it’s only real downside as far as I can remember.
Anyway, I’m sure it will be great. I like the art style a lot. One of the reasons I liked Overlord so much was because the art style was like Fable.
Anyway, I was luke-warm a year ago but now I am really excited about it.

Fable, and especially Fable: The Lost Chapters, was a truly stellar game crippled by the appalling frequency of load screens. The fact Lionhead have the X360 to play with should eliminate this and that fact alone could bump Fable 2 to my GotY…. (next to Prince of Persia, natch).
