"Big" Fable 2 Announcement Coming

image

Oooh Lionhead Studios, you're such a tease! What could it be?

It seems Fable 2 fans are in for an exciting surprise next week. Of course, this depends on the surprise itself and what you deem to be exciting. Nevertheless, Fable 2 developers Lionhead Studios are crowing about a big announcement regarding the game to come sometime next week.

From the developer's blog this week: "Normally, we don't like to tease too much. You know, all this hype being generated by teasing the announcement that there will be an announcement in X-number of days. Who cares? But in this day and age where a gazillion titles are asking for your attention, I felt it might be the right thing to do on the blog. We've got some good news for all Fable 2 fans next week, dare I even say it's quite a big announcement? Yes of course I dare say it's a big announcement regarding Fable 2, next week!"

How big of an announcement is it again? Quite a big one. As always, let us now proceed to speculate wildly in the comments section below on what this "big" announcement has in store for Fable 2 fans next week. While you're waiting to find out, don't forget to check out Yahtzee's Fable 2 reaming in this week's Zero Punctuation along with Susan Arendt's ruminations on the subject. The latter does not in fact use the phrase "carving my buttocks into luncheon meat," but it's still worth a gander.

A new hat pfft I want long flowing locks, uh I mean cloaks.
I hope it's something nice, since now I'm pretty sure I own every business/building on the game. Almost certain I do.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was some cheesy DLC. Hats, shoes, maybe even a fancy 'belt' option.

Ooo! I'm psyched! Maybe I WON'T trade it in for Left 4 Dead.

Oh wait.

Maybe they will announce that it will be released for PC? ...Or have they already announced that? I haven't really been keeping up with this game.

It's definitely a guaranteed way to drag out your game's lifespan nigh indefinitely (people still play Diablo 1). I've never played the game though, are epic items random or is it all very linear and you get a set item on schedule? You'd have to make it so not everyone was equal.

Ooooh, I got it!

A challenge! Nah, that would be out of synch the game's style.

Something like a 10 hours new quest that is actually difficult even with maxed skills and best weapons. You know, where skill was involved. Not fucking likely though is it!

Maybe too add to the whole Halo outfit thing they'll release a fucking annoying little blue woman who sits on your head. And I don't mean Smurfette.

Seems a bit early for Microsoft to milk the last few drops of this franchise (well aside from offering DLC for a nominal fee, like every company and their dog.) Plus they're is that whole pirate fear going around publishing offices like a plague.

Would be nice though :/

Have they released a fax for the game, for all of the bugs? Maybe they will be nice and finish the game now. Or maybe it WILL just be a hat.

Free Hat? HA! Leave that baby killer in jail. Probably cost 200pts more more I bet.

Oh come on replacing the dog with the minimap, dear gods please say the dog is going the way of old yeller.

Abortion, child killing, and/or adding an AK-47 to the game also welcome.

How about..... THE END OF THE GAME? Seeing as they only gave us the first half on the disc.

True enough. The ending was pritty much a huge cock slap. Fable 2: The lost chapters is on its way *sigh*

Indeed it is. Makes me sad because I happen to know for a fact that I'm going to buy it. Even though I know it's against my best wishes to do so.

And hey, another British member, I thought I was the only one!

I am British too.

I sincerely hope this announcement involves a patch of some kind. This game is practically unplayable to the glitches which litter it like hairs on a barbers shop floor.

also a brit

yeh something better for the ending would be a good step in the right direction, maybe even a way to do the digging quests without the bloody dog for those of use who didnt pick the middle ending option.
probably something along the lines of oblivions horse armor though tbh knowing lionhead.

Wow. That is one big steaming pile of bullshit. I mean, come on. People have to read the blog to get the announcement that there will be an announcement. How about just make the freakin' announcement? Not for hype, my ass.

LOLOL

Okay, back to seriousness....maybe a rideable mount? A horse with stables?

I'd like to see some more variety in shops and charcater customization. But I can really see them tweaking the side jobs quests, like newer bounties and targets.

I hope for improved co-op, guess it's PC, fear it's a new hat. Not that I wouldn't like a new hat, of course.

And, of course, the support of the modding community that we ban from touching the 360.
