first of all thats assuming it comes out in 2008. i know the guy said it would but they said brawl would come out march 2007, so you never know. and if it does then it will be second best rpg of 07-08 behing mario galaxy.

I gotta ask.....are you joking? I mean I thought we all agreed that Zelda wasn't an RPG, and it had a way better case than Mario Galaxy has for being an RPG. Mario is the epitome of Platformer. I mean am I reading this wrong, did you mean to write another game?

All game developers should be like Peter Molyneux. I don't think it will be possible to overhype Fable 2 by the looks of it so far. Let him do what he does best!

platformers are ALOT more shallow  that open-ended RPG's.

Fable 2 will be the best RPG of 2008 hands down! I cannot wait to get it. With co-op and other things added I see a very nice contribution to RPG gaming. I just wish there were a larger amount of RPGs being released this year. However, I will have to say that if it were to go up against FF13 it would lose.

Ehm...

If Fable 2 will be the best RPG of 2K8 based on that article alone, then this year must be completely devoid of RPG:s.

I'm not necessarily saying that Fable 2 will be horrible or a colossal disappointment, but I'm not really seeing anything revolutionary here. All I really got out of that article - besides the obvious hype job - was that there are no gold drops (an interesting design choice), there's an active co-op mode, and you can transfer loot between games. Oh, and the game supposedly has great AI, but the same was said about Black and White, and we all know how that turned out. At least they're not focusing on graphics over gameplay.

While all of those features listed above are at least somewhat intriguing, they don't make the game by themselves, and I have yet to see anything that would make Fable 2 RPG of the year, especially when it has to contend with games like Fallout 3.

This is not a jab or a sarcastic remark, but an honest question: Why would Fable 2 be the greatest RPG of the year?

Saying the 360 is the rpg console this gen is like saying the ps3 is the fps console this gen. Xbox lacks The heavy hitter rpgs (FF series) And ps3 lacks the heavy hitter Fps (Halo) Both have made good strides in trying to attain each others "nIche." or however you want to put it.

Time to update this post. 

Fable 2 has been demoed more fully now at E3, and I have to say, with FFXIII now confirmed not to be hitting 2008, and Fallout 3 looking great but not brilliant, Fable 2 is going to take the cake.

As Too Human, Fable2 will not be as good as expected.

(Sure, it will not bomb as Too Human. Completely SURE)



Time to Work !
