Edge writes: "In a matter of days Fable 2 has become a huge success story for UK-based developer Lionhead. Yesterday it climbed straight to the top of the UK charts, becoming the first Microsoft title to do so since Halo 3. Sales figures also show it has become the fifth-fastest-selling game in UK history, outselling the original Fable's launch-week performance by a ratio of nearly 4:1.
Those figures alone are enough to make any developer, publisher and shareholder utterly delighted, yet Fable 2 has done something more than please those involved with it. Fable 2 has become a symbol of success in the context of discontent from within the UK game development sector.
"I think Fable 2 shows that UK studios have the talent, drive and collective strength of character to focus on innovation, craft and mood rather than simply playing safe and churning out something approved by numerous committees of grey men in greyer suits," the game's design director Dene Carter told Edge. "Ultimately, the big franchises have to come from somewhere. You don't create money-making IP just by playing catch-up.'"
