Images of Fable 2

Lionhead releases eight screenshots of Fable 2, just like that. And it looks awesome. The game is still planned to be released on Xbox 360 at the end of the year.

The game does look good. Plus the art direction is brilliant. I am sure the game will definitely look better in motion.

Monchichi0256190d ago

This a MUST BUY on the FIRST DAY!!! One of the few RPG's I'm looking forward too!

peksi6190d ago

I'd even say it looks beautiful, a real treat for 360 owners. Is it coming to PC aswell?

supahbad6190d ago

textures are great but the characters are just meh, i bet you're right though it will look better in motion. i want this game

"I am sure the game will definitely look better in motion"

^ Most games do even more so on the 360 sence the advanced effects shining and bouncing around the environments are only snap shots of what is going on and can make things confusing or grab a game in a bad time.

dachiefsman6190d ago

"Most games do even more so on the 360" Come on PoG...why turn this into a flamebate thread?

power of Green 6190d ago (Edited 6190d ago )

Thats not flame 360 games use graphical effects more than any other console; so what is seen in pics can be confused more than pics of other consoles.

Example: Some may say hmmm? why are there so many white patches all over the place in these screenshots? but in motion you would easily see that that the rocks are wet and the light is bouncing all over the place.

I can post pics from games from other consoles but that would be flame after all this is a 360 thread ;)

Why turn this into a flamebait thread lol as if I'm saying Fable 2 sucks blah blah blah. I simply said lighting and graphical effects can trick the eye and I'v noticed the 360 makes the most of graphical effects hence the 360 is more prone to this flaw from the web.

dachiefsman6190d ago

I am just saying you are opening yourself up for debate, but then again I think you must get off on it or something.

No need to debate with me cause I am not arguing with yea.

power of Green 6190d ago

Just clearing up the missunderstanding lol.

I don't get off" on trying to deffend my motives after being wrongfully accused of something :)

Egzekutor6190d ago

Thats very interesting what you are saying here .. because so far what the developers have been saying, its XBOX 360 is a barrier for better games, the number of objects etc on the screen has to be decreased because of the 360, that is ofcourse for 3rd party developers. The XBOX 360 is the lead version because its easier to code on, and what you are seeing on those screenshots is infact 360.. so dont say that this is other console screenshot, because 360 is the lead version of probably most of the 3rd party games.

dachiefsman6190d ago

I meant I believe you enjoy debating things and getting people fired up. That is what I meant by the comment "get off".

For example the guy above me!

power of Green 6190d ago

Nope I wish they would visit 360 threads as little as possible let alone wanting them replying to me attacking and posting rubbish posts most of the time. I wish the guy above your post wouldn't do that actually.

Either way this ends up at your original post and my original response.

Holy **** this game looks awesome. Sick stylke. Can't wait.

okcomputer6190d ago

The style does look creative and really nice. These stills look a lot better than that video that was released a few weeks ago too, thats a good sign.

dachiefsman6190d ago

no doubt mk! just hope its got some legs to go along with the graphics.

MK_Red6190d ago

Yeah but that vid was pretty old as I heard even though they just released it few weeks ago.

dachiefsman, agreed but I have full faith in this one. I want to be EVIL and no game really gives that much freedom.

dachiefsman6190d ago

I tried being evil in KOTOR, Jade Empire, and Fable, but I often found it was easier to be nice and more challenging to be evil.

I want some more co-op footage personally.

MK_Red6190d ago

In KOTOR it is indeed a bit harder to be good but Fable was better, still no Fallout or Arcanium but it will do. Hopefully in this one is easier to be evil and not just evil but REALLY BAD EVIL :D

Yeah. I don't like multiplayer but this game's co-op is tempting me to get Live.

mepsipax6190d ago (Edited 6190d ago )

i haven't really played a game where I can be evil/a complete d*ck except for fallout, and maybe deus ex, I hate when developers hype good/bad relationships, and how it is always a obvious choice between good and evil, there is no in between, it's always kill/don't kill or save/don't save. Hmm some examples, Bioshock, moral decision to kill girls, if didn't kill better benefits, if did kill, not as good benefits, that is not a moral choice, a moral choice is, if you kill the girl you get better benefits than if you don't, that's a moral choice. The evil side should always be easier than the good side, so players actually feel good about being good, a good example of this (don't hate me) is true crime: streets of LA (I know) the bad cop side of things was always easier than the good cop so you actually had to work to be good. anyway fable 2 seems to be shaping up to be pretty good, but if I remember correctly fable was also hyped to hell and I was dissapointed in that game.

dachiefsman6190d ago

yea you make a good point about it being easier to be good than evil.

thenickel6190d ago

Hey nice post and I couldn't agree with you more.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer559d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog558d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned559d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c559d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb558d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies559d ago (Edited 559d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal559d ago (Edited 559d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72558d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman558d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos558d ago (Edited 558d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows558d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Fable II - A Fantasy Series at Peak Performance

Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.

Crows90722d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson722d ago

I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.

GaboonViper722d ago

Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.

got_dam722d ago

Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.

cthulhucultist722d ago

Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.

You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.

The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.

But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.

Demetrius721d ago

I only got to play it once 😩 I'm so tempted to buy a Xbox 360 slim but planning on getting the series x soon since I got a PS5 in February Im ready to get saints row 1&2 back, GTA 4, fable 2, but I also want to play infamous 1&2 again Sony screwed us over with the stream only for saints row 2 and other gems smh

Dragon Quest 11 isn't even the best Dragon Quest game, it's a good game, but not the best. Dragon Quest 8 is superior to it in almost every way.

thorstein1297d ago

...and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4....

I am biased.

Hofstaderman1298d ago (Edited 1298d ago )

OK let's end this, in order
Xenogears
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 9
Final Fantasy 6
Chrono Trigger
Legend of Dragoon
Breath of Fire 4
Breath of Fire 3
Dragon Quest 8
Dragon Quest 11
Vagrant Story
Saga Frontier 2
Chrono Cross
Suikoden 2
Suikoden
Threads of Fate
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Lunar 2

Jiub1298d ago

Sometimes I forget how much of a powerhouse the PS1 was

MadLad1298d ago

I don't play too many jrpgs, and I'm trying to diversify a bit.

Outside of FF and Dragon Quest, what two games from that list do you most recommend someone trying? Doesn't matter if it's a sequel to another game or not.

Jiub1298d ago

IMO: Chrono Trigger and Suikoden II

thorstein1297d ago

Octopath Traveler is really good.

BlaqMagiq11297d ago

You have Threads of Fate on there which means you get my ultimate respect. Underrated and overlooked.

Exvalos1297d ago

Man your dang near spot on absolute spot on choices

Epicor1297d ago

I like your top 6 a lot. I don't have the same orders but all those games would make my top 10 RPG list most likely. Number 1 for me is FFIX. It holds a special place in my heart and imo it's the perfect Final Fantasy game.

In addition I would give special mention to some western RPG's as well: Skyrim and Mass Effect 2 were iconic games. Out of JRPG's I'd like to add Disgaea 2 on that list.

MadLad1298d ago (Edited 1298d ago )

Some of my personal favorites are Planescape: Torment, New Vegas, Morrowind, Kotor 2, Wasteland 3, Witcher 2, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Deus Ex, Disco Elysium and Vampyr.

As far as jrpg, while I'm not as big a fan as I am for Western RPGs, I love Persona 3 - 5, Dragon Quest 8 and 11, Rogue Galaxy, Final Fantast 6,7, and 12; and Lost Odyssey.

LoveSpuds1297d ago (Edited 1297d ago )

Some quality taste in games there squire.

I'd add some Baldurs Gate 2 and Neverwinter Nights from back in the day too.

MadLad1297d ago

Should have added BG2. Played through it many times over the years.

Never could get into Neverwinter Nights though. Not sure why.

Omegasyde1297d ago

Loved rouge galaxy. Fav game from Level 5.

ManMarmalade1298d ago

Legend of Dragoon #1 game of all time for me
