Fable 2



Arguably one of the world's most brilliant and inventive game developers, Peter Molyneux, has told us that the chicken-kicking RPG, Fable 2, will shock us with its brilliance.

In an exclusive interview with Spong, Molyneux sheds further light on Fable 2 without going into specific details but instead teases us with the mention of some surprises,

" There’s a very, very, very big surprise in what Fable 2 has got, which I hope will be very unexpected. This is me in my PR mode, I must admit, but I haven’t seen this particular thing – and it is one of the really big pillars of Fable 2 – done well in any game. In fact, it was done very well in one game, and that game is now almost 30 years old. That’s a clue…”

What could the surprise be? And what is this 30 year old game he cryptically mentions?

Is it just me who thinks the Molyneux has been ridiculously over-lionised by an industry desperate for hype? “One of the world's most brilliant and inventive game developers” - yeah, well that's what they'd have you believe, but I find the reality a bit different. Both Populous and SimCity were released in 1989, and SimCity has arguably had a far more wide-reaching effect on game design, but I don't see people building shrines to Will Wright. Molyneux's last innovative game was Dungeon Keeper, which was quite fun, but that was quite some time ago. Fable was just laughable - ‘You can be good, or you can be bad, and it doesn’t make a difference!'
Lionhead are my favourate developers by far. Their lastest games, Black and White 2 and The movies were genius in ideas. Like any game they're not perfect but its the ideas behind their games which i find fasinating.

The original fable on the xbox had me hooked for many hours, played it through several times with different characters and I hope the sequal delivers the same amount of gaming satisfaction
I thought the first Black & White was completely awesome. What a great game that was.
