Fable 2 Hours From Gold, Molyneux Awaits Gamer Reactions

Fable 2 is days, if not hours from going gold, Lionhead Studio's Sam Van Tilburgh told me today.

"We have one or two bugs that are keeping us from going gold," Van Tilburgh said.

Even though the game, due out Oct. 21, is on the verge of wrapping up, the dev team is still keeping late night hours, he said.

"Everyone is playing the game, staying 12 hours," he said.

Van Tilburgh was excited to finally give gamers a chance to check out the game for themselves at the Penny Arcade Expo and so is designer Peter Molyneux.

"I've been talking to him about the reaction," he said. "He asks what the reaction to the game has been. What do they think about the combat."

Van Tilburgh said that 97 percent of the reaction has been very positive over the first two days of the show.

"Initially I thought it was a bad thing, but one person told me the game was 'tight'," Van Tilburgh said. "I'm told that's a good thing."

Right On!

Man....this game should be Epic!!.....Cant wait.

If there that close to going gold why not bump up the release date a bit?

^ I'm assuming they are gonna need time to fill all the pre-orders that have already been sold.

Mother of God.....

It's almost here.

Spooky is right....They should bump the release date up, or work on something more before it goes gold.

Halo 3, if I'm not mistaken, was gold for under a month before it launched - and it sold more units worldwide in 1 week than F1 did it's entire lifespan....So printing enough units isn't something that takes a very long time (although there is lead time if we're looking at a title that will ship over 1m copies week-1).

It is a good sign that they have put everything that they wanted to into the game already. They weren't stretched for time. Its a good sign that everything went well with development and that we have an awesome game about to reach our hands.

Rock_on_Fable 2!

I've been having so much fun with the pub games, I can't wait to take all of my illegally gotten money and spend away!
