Less is more for Fable 2

In a recent chat with Games Radar, Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux explained his company's new development mantra for the massive Xbox 360 Fable sequel: LESS IS MORE.

At the moment the Fable 2 design director is telling his team to focus less on features and more on polishing. "Lionhead games need less random features, but to refine and hone the core features," he said.

Is weird. He gets all worked up over the dumbest stuff. I remember in one of the dev diaries he talks for 5 minutes how you can't control the dog! OMG

Still looks like an awesome game.

slak6133d ago

yea your right he does get work up for the dumbest sh!t but yea the game looking kick ass.

Rageanitus6132d ago

Rpg's cant get quite complex when you start putting more stuff into it.

bumnut6132d ago

oblivion is huge and that fits on 1 disc, even the game of the year edition with all the expansion packs is on 1 disc

SuperSaiyan46132d ago

Emm so please explain how a game like Mass Effect is said to be on ONE DISC? Please I would really like to know.

More stupid comments from those without a clue.

midgard2296132d ago

u know fable 2 might suck...and i luved fable one, but him simplifing the battle systen to one button....might get really repetitive. no dying.....is it gonna turn to zelda???

about disk space. well yeah oblivion fits on one disk, but it has a basic combat system, and no scenes, which is why it could fit, which is fine. but if u add alot of features then they take up alot more space. that and Jrpgs, those always have alot of cinematics which eat up disk space, main reason blue dragon needs 3 disks.

dead or alive 4 used the whole disk, and thats cuz theres alot of different interaction between each character, and level, the counters, the throws, the moves, the outfits, the huge levels.

it depends what kinda game it is that takes up the space. american games most likley wont use up all disk space tho since they usually make straight forward games (stil fun) and have 0 scenes, usually just a real time man talking. while jap games use motion capture and other things for stuff like fight scenes and so on

DrDoomer180d ago

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

raWfodog180d ago

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

BrainSyphoned180d 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*

Husker42c180d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb180d ago

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

ChasterMies180d ago (Edited 180d 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_Mal180d ago (Edited 180d 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.

darthv72179d 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.

Hofstaderman180d ago

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

Profchaos179d ago (Edited 179d 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.

BehindTheRows179d 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.

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson344d ago

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

GaboonViper343d ago

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

got_dam343d 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.

cthulhucultist343d 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.

Demetrius343d 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.

thorstein919d ago

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

I am biased.

Hofstaderman919d ago (Edited 919d 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

Jiub919d ago

Sometimes I forget how much of a powerhouse the PS1 was

MadLad919d 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.

Jiub919d ago

IMO: Chrono Trigger and Suikoden II

thorstein919d ago

Octopath Traveler is really good.

BlaqMagiq1919d ago

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

Exvalos919d ago

Man your dang near spot on absolute spot on choices

Epicor918d 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.

MadLad919d ago (Edited 919d 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.

LoveSpuds919d ago (Edited 919d ago )

Some quality taste in games there squire.

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

MadLad918d ago

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

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

Omegasyde918d ago

Loved rouge galaxy. Fav game from Level 5.

ManMarmalade919d ago

Legend of Dragoon #1 game of all time for me
