How will multiplayer work in Fable?

Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we will not be including the Multiplayer feature in Fable. There simply isn’t enough time to polish it to the standard we feel would be required to match that of the rest of the game. Instead we have decided to focus our resources on fine-tuning the single-player experience to ensure it is of the highest possible quality.

Time Constraints? Hasn't fable been in development since the beginning of time?

I could care less about them dumping multiplayer. While the idea of taking your hero and journeying through a friend's game is definately appealing, I don't own a mem card and I don't doubt I would buy one jst to mess around with the feature.

But this is good news. If they are cutting it because of time, that could mean the game is in the beta stage. Could we be playing it this spring?

Peter Molyneux is either hit or miss for me. And with the countless promises and inovations that Fable will supposedly have I will admit it has me hyped, but Peter Molyneux said the same thing about Black & White and it ended up being decent. Molyneux also has a history of delaying his games.

This angers me. I wanted this feature. But heck, I'd take a glitchy sub-par multiplayer feature over no multiplayer feature. Delay the ****er until Xbox 2, but give me the whole game.

While Co-op would be nice, I really don't think it would do all that much for me. At any rate, I don't care that they dropped co-op, so hopefully they won't delay the game too much more.

I'm already anticipating a summer 05 release, so whatever makes this game get in my xbox faster...well, that's great.

EDIT: actually i liked the multiplayer part best, then all the cool rpg elements... or maybe its a tie.

Damn, this game has gone downhill. I am not as hyped about this game anymore. When does Jade Empire come out? I think that I will get this over Fable, just because it hasn't really screwed up that bad so far.

I was never really caring for this game but i wanted to try it but for all of you and this has been said before tehy are gonna do cuts here, more delays, and then find out the game either doesn't exist or they will have to cancel it because after so many years of developing they have gone bankrupt.

or it will be released later this year.

Multiplayer? Do they mean like on XBL? If not who cares, I can go to TFLO for all my MMORPG needs. I would still buy Fable for the experience, TFLO would be the **** for XBL playing.

Oh my heck,... I was looking forward to this game having this co-op stuff. I'll still buy it and all, but It obviously won't be as much fun with friends.

They spent at least 4 months making the multiplayer aspect of this game. Now that its gone that was nothing but a waste of time. Fable would have been better if they didnt want to include multiplayer in it at all.
