Just a quick reminder for all those that have never seen the self hype for a Peter Molyneux game before.

I like him to made some great games for one. He just seems to get carried away with the vision and not to grounded in the facts.

alot of what he is saying will be in fable 2 has already been shown off. for the first Fable he just made alot of promises of what will be in the game when they werent officially in the game...just ideas he'd like to try and never had the chance due to time and funding.

I didn't even hear of Fable before I actually played it and I thought it was the best damn game on the Xbox. ANd judging from the previews of 2 thus far, I think its going to be just as good. Fable with a more open world and online Co-op, why the hell would that not be good?

Well, how often do you hear a developer come out and actually apologize when their product doesn't live up to the hype? Still, it was his own fault for promising far too much. But despite this I seem to recall Fable was pretty well received. I never got in to it by two of my friends loved it.

But yeah, the message is clear; I'm not going to get too caught up in the hype over Fable 2. It looks more interesting to me than the first was, I'll certainly be keeping up with it and check out previews/reviews when it launches but I'm not going to get totally excited about it. Same way I feel about Too Human.

I also want it to be good and liked the 1st one as well . Some people on here are saying it will be the best thing ever and change gaming forever so it's just a warning to them to watch the hype levels until the game come out ;-)

Things might be different this time around. In that article, he sounded pretty self-conscious about his over-enthusiasm.

Fable 2 is going to fail. It probably isn't going to come out until 2010, and by the time it does there will be better games already out. So don't bother with this guy, he's just trying to drum up hype for another boring blunder.

Peter confirmed he will not repeat the mistakes of the past, and EVERYTHING he speaks about will be in the game his time

I have no reason not to believe it TBH

Sadly for you, the game has a autaumn release date set in stone, the game is nearly finished and are polishing it now

And there is no game like Fable 2, there is no suhc thing as "better" than Fable 2, because it is a unique game, one of a kind, if you can name me one name that is like Fable 2, epic, fairy tale like, dynamic vast free roaming world, huge cities, can influence the cities, story, hero etc by your actions, vast Crysis lit and detailed forests, some of the very best next gen visuals with Crysis effects, lighting and detail, can buy everything, and become king, get jobs, have families etc etc

Crysis graphics don't deserve to even be in the same thread as Fable 2, Crysis is impossible in its high end state on consoles so what makes you think Fable 2 will even be remotely as detailed as crysis

Actually Fable 2 is more detailed and has a bit better lighting that Crysis, and INFINITLY better looking trees and vegetation on top

Crysis has physics, and the huge scale, but in visuals it is mediocre comparing to Fable 2

There's little Fable2 hype, most people know it will be yet another medicore Zelda clone with average graphics and few useless and boring gimmicks thrown in.

Even if some of his games are mediocre, no-one, and I mean NO-ONE, can bad-mouth The Movies. Well, I think it was the same guy who made it. :cry: Lord has no memory of which people make games, only companies.

You have obviously never played Crysis... you know most of it takes place in forests yes? You already tried to have a polll on this and you were crushed.

Fable 2 is nothing special, its just a rehash sequal with gimmicky features.

History will show that Fable is a great game.

Palax

History will show that Fable is...the shortest RPG ever made (7 hrs)

And History will show that Fable 2 will be it's closest runner up (8hrs)

You don't even have a high end PC, you're just like the rest of the cows hiding behind PC.
