Microsoft Press Conference: 'Fable 2' Report
Posted By: Brian Leahy - Monday, July 14, 2008 11:43 AM

Peter Molyneux has just announced that Fable 2 is complete, and will be available for release in October!  While the game has been under wraps for quite a while, Molyneux  demoed some really new and interesting features at the Microsoft press conference.

The game takes place in the world of Albion, and from the preview we saw, you start the game out as a very young child and progress and grow up throughout the game. There are some similarities from the first Fable game, such as getting married and have children. Also, similar to the first installment, your character is unique depending on what decisions you make throughout your adventure.

And while Fable 2 has a similar feel to the first game, Molyneux also announced quite a few new features for the Xbox 360 version of the game. One of the most interesting features was the way in which you can interact with other players through Xbox Live. Basically, you can find your friends in the game and invite them into your own unique Fable 2 world. They can then interact with characters in your world, such as your family, and experience a different world than their own.

There were a few other cool announcements, such as how your children now age and grow up.

Very, very interesting. This makes me want to open my still shrink wrapped copy of Fable. Will definitely have to keep an eye on this one.

Im excited to play in the same world with a friend, but will you be able to play with more than one human player? I think a 2-6 human player game would be amazing.

I hope fable 2s storyline will better than the first one, not that there was anything wrong with it, but i would like to see it improved somewhat, games that relay on online play seem not to have that good of a singleplayer expierence, i hope this game is as good as fable 1, but longer... i belive this will be the first live game i will pay to play...
