Get ready for a double-dose of Fable II this year. The XBLA Fable 2 Pub Games will give you a small taste in August. However, only two months later, you'll be able to get your hands on the entire Fable II experience. The gold you collect in XBLA game will transfer over to the full retail title, which will also feature online co-op mode.
I like the idea of XBLA / full game interactivity, but my one fear is that if you earn a ton of money in the pub games, it'll make the full game (or at least some aspect of it) too easy.
Not that the original game was a very money-centric game, but still... seems kinda odd to go straight into the game with a full load of money.
The whole no cutscenes thing is kinda disappointing for me to be honest. I'm still intrigued by the game but I'm finding it harder and harder to explain why I should be.
Video games are interactive entertainment. Being able to further the story without infringing on that interactive aspect is what advancement in gaming is all about. Cutscenes are so 1999.

Sweet, Fable 1 was awesome (If you didn't listen to Peter talk it up) and I have high hopes for this game.

Please. Cutscenes are overrated. I'd rather have the story explained to me in game.

You miss cut scenes? Then go play MGS4 that will keep ya busy for a while.
