Your anti-360 campaign is really in full swing lately... I guess it has to be to keep up with demand because of the price cut and all. :)

 

oh hi there, disol i have to give it to you, your the most approachable xbox fan out there

on topic all i was getting across that its a bit strange for him to critisise fable 2, sure its going to be a great game and its a proven/returning IP, but if it was me i wouldnt say things like that about my game.

i predict reviewers will not take in account minor discrepencies on fable 2, as minor discrepencies dont make the game worse for the gamer. although may i add if it was a ps3 game it would be the old case of "ohh ohhh lip synching is all over the place blah blah"

but its a 360 game and lets hope it turns out to be a good rpg, im leaning towards this over fallout 3

Too be honest, the title makes it sound as if you're champing at the bit to say something negative about the game.  I didn't get that impression after reading your OP, however.  Combined with the fact that you often lean toward PS3 in your posts, I guess some people are a little suspicious of your motives when you create a thread like this. 

I, too, wonder why Peter would say this sort of thing even before the game is out, but I seriously suspect he's in an odd state of euphoria after such a long, difficult, yet fulfilling, project.  I've been a software engineer for approx. 30 years, and I've seen guys come off grueling projects in this sort of state.  They'll chat openly and endlessly about every single little thought that crossed their minds during the many months they slaved away.

My guess is he'll snap out of it in about 6 weeks, read this article, and say what the #$!#$%#$ was I thinking???

EDIT: just look at his expression in that photo... the guy is in a sleep-deprived state of nirvana...

Despite this being posted as an attempt to discredit Fable 2 or the 360

 

^it was not an attempt to discredit fable 2 at all, fable 2 will be a good game, its the old fable with all the problems ironed out and its been made bigger and better.

il be honest with you, i only have arcade unplugged 2 for my 360, but fable 2 has my attention now, where i was working last week, in the game shop opposite they had a massive cardboard cut-out with the full sized charachter on it.

there will be a big buzz around this game, i still have a £15 credit on a GAME card with £5 on my GAME reward card that im saving for this.

 I'm thinking he saw the damage that Dyack did to Too Human with his big mouth...and is just covering his ass if the game doesn't get AAA status or something. Not to mention Fable 1 was criticised for being overhyped.

well just because a game doesnt get AAA status on metacritic doesnt mean the game is no good. ghost recon on 360 is AAA but ghost recon 2 which is far superior isnt AAA. i pick GR2 over GR1 aggregated reviews are shyte in my opinion, the best review is your own review on what you like to play and what you get out of the game.

Fair enough but as a lot of ppl know you post a good bit of anti-360 news. It's just a fact. With the title being the way it is and your history of posting anti-360 news you have to understand people are going to respond in some of the ways a few ppl have in this thread regardless of what your aims are. But enough of that.

Fable 2 definitly seems like its going to be a great title and unless the flaws are glaringing obvious, Molyneux is probably right in that you'll have to look for the flaws themselves to really notice them. Im going to be torn between Fable and LBP come October :(

If this is mainly game engine related (and not hardware specs or such related), why not just delay this game and polish out obvious technical flaws? Microsoft has more than enough money to pay for such costs. Fable 2 is the last remaining big XBox sequel on the 360, pretty much a guaranteed million seller.

My guess is they pushed the 360 as hard as they could, and didn't want to have to re-engineer entire approaches just to correct minor annoyances.  Just having the money to do something doesn't always justify it.

 



Doesn't surprise me.

I mean this guy is probably the most over ambitious perfectionist designer there is out there.

and that's from someone who hasn't enjoyed a game he's made since Populous. (To be fair i never played fable 1.)



That's probably the first time I've ever heard someone point out issues of their own game.
Well, I guess that could be a good thing? lawl.

360 IS OPERATIONAL AFTER 37 DAYS!

I think it is funny how everyone that thinks this is anti-360 and anti-fable finds it necessary to comment and say that it is. If that was OP's intent, and I am not sure whether or not it is, you are falling right into his hands.
