Fable 2 First Details
FABLE 2 FOR 360 - FIRST DETAILS! Fable 2 shows its puppies! One man and his dog to star in the 360 sequel to Lionhead's all-conquering RPG 15:25 Fable 2, ah how those two words give us inordinate amounts of pleasure; the prospect of seeing Lionhead and Big Blue Box's marvellously inventive RPG making the leap onto Xbox 360 has us brimming over for more beardy antics. Of course, Lionhead has downplayed talk of Fable 2 before, especially when it was inadvertently mentioned by a Microsoft exec earlier in the year, but for us, it's almost a cert. Why wouldn't you want it on 360? However, a source has revealed that he interviewed Peter Molyneux recently and the Lionhead genius revealed not only that he's really enjoying making Fable 2 for Xbox 360, but also spilled a few tasty gameplay morsels. Apparently Fable 2 will see you start out as a young boy again but in a different area from the original Oakvale, only this time you'll have man's best friend for company in the form of a young puppy who accompanies you throughout the tale. Once again, how you act and interact with the Fable universe will change the appearance of your character, but now your dog will change too. Be good and you'll have a loving fluffy poodle for company, but play the bad boy and you'll be taking a snarling evil hound from hell for walkies! And apparently that's about it for Fable 2, although Peter Molyneux apparently also did reveal that the brothels or bawdy houses, which made a recent appearance in Fable: The Lost Chapters, will also be a major feature. We contacted Lionhead right away to discover the veracity of this here Fable, but were met with a firm "no comment" but we'll update you with more as soon as we have it. But we think it's an absolute cert and we'd expect Fable 2 in all likelihood to make a debut for Christmas 2006.Source: http://www.computerandvideogames.com
