Fable 2 goes gold, now seeks platinum

by Alexander Sliwinski { Sep 23rd 2008 at 11:30AM }

Lionhead Studios announced earlier today that Fable II has gone gold, which means that everything appears to be on track for a release Oct. 21 in NA, Oct. 24 in Europe.

To celebrate, the Lionhead team went to the pub last night and got a little tipsy. No word yet if anyone cheated at any games -- or if it was all part of Molyneux's master plan.

[Thanks, Rooshma]

Frankly I'm more hyped about Fable 2 then about Gears 2.

Bouille @ Sep 23rd 2008 12:38PM

Ditto...

Actually no. I'm not even hyped for gears 2, I wdidn't go bananas over the first and the second one looks like more of the first but with an upgraded U3 engine.

Fable 2 : bring meh some of that sweet killing everything makes you evil and evil makes you powerfull and powerfull is cool!!!!! :D

Red Leader @ Sep 23rd 2008 3:56PM

Completely agreed.

juju187 @ Sep 23rd 2008 11:53AM

Can't wait to play...

vgxtremist @ Sep 23rd 2008 11:56AM

Hyped-up RPGs like these are the reason I finally decided on a 360, I hope it can bring some good diversity to the system.

N3TWORK BURN3R @ Sep 23rd 2008 11:57AM

I would have cared about this game, until Peter said that its the best game EVAR!!! Thats just lame.

dark_inchworm @ Sep 23rd 2008 12:13PM

Given how many developers toot their own horns, you must not buy many things, right?

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Sep 23rd 2008 1:01PM

WHAT? A DEVELOPER ACTUALLY CLAIMING HIS PRODUCT IS THE BEST THING EVER??? THAT IS FUCKING UNHEARD OF AND IS WRONG!!!

xGeneral DEATHx @ Sep 23rd 2008 2:01PM

Yeah, he should've used buzz words and phrases such as "average", "meh", and "rent it if you must". Then it would've been a day ONE purchase. ;)

Ethan @ Sep 23rd 2008 6:13PM

I've only ever heard of him saying it's "the best, most complete game I've ever worked on." Though he did talk of wanting it to be the 360's defining game. I actually think the clarity towards the shortfalls of the original Fable show a far more grounded molyneux than before.

AwesomeTown @ Sep 23rd 2008 12:00PM

I'm hoping that my rrod'd 360 gets back to me by the time this releases.

Fargus @ Sep 23rd 2008 12:48PM

I had mine back the same week i sent it(this was about a month ago) You should be ok. They sent me a free month of xbox live as an apology and when I went to add it to my account, it told me the card wasn't active!

AwesomeTown @ Sep 23rd 2008 12:54PM

Nice, good to hear (well, not about the live card, that sucks). My shipping box should get to me on Thursday.

VelociRapido @ Sep 23rd 2008 12:06PM

I'm excited to play as Link on my 360!

juju187 @ Sep 23rd 2008 12:26PM

I never seen link get zelda's panties...

FOXHOUND @ Sep 23rd 2008 3:12PM

Link> *Panty Raider* Well, EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE ME, PRINCESS! ;D

BananaBoat @ Sep 23rd 2008 4:40PM

Link got INSIDE Zelda's panties in the second zelda game, you know, the one where she was asleep. Giggity Giggity Goo.

Even if he hadn't boned her, those Gerudo women screw like minxes. Then there is Saria, and Princess Ruto or whatever her name is(even if screwing a fish is downright disgusting)

For my money though? I'd nail Midna. Then I'd make her mai waiffu.

Vcize @ Sep 23rd 2008 12:07PM

And platinum it will be...

Captain Nunzio @ Sep 23rd 2008 12:08PM

I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy this game. I just prefer not to listen to Molyneux's hype.

Haggard (Mr.ESC resurrection force) @ Sep 23rd 2008 12:08PM

Getting pissed with Peter Molyneaux.. fun evening?

mcatrage @ Sep 23rd 2008 12:10PM

Can not wait, all other games will be put on hold until I beat it at least twice.

deaftly @ Sep 23rd 2008 12:32PM

Def more hyped for this then Gears2/LBP

DemonGSides @ Sep 23rd 2008 12:41PM

My only gaming purchase of the 2nd half of 2008.

Mr Khan @ Sep 23rd 2008 12:43PM

Only 360 game i wish i could get, last of that group since, well, Orange Box

Markusdragon @ Sep 23rd 2008 12:43PM

Can't wait. Between this and the Fallout 3 Limited Edition I'm going to be very, very poor this October.

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Sep 23rd 2008 1:02PM

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS GAME!!!

tmacairjordan87 @ Sep 23rd 2008 1:08PM

I have severe doubts about this game since 1) It's a hyped Molyneux game and 2) All of the "big additions" seem to do nothing for the game other than make it more casual.

I'll get it eventually most likely but Farcry 2, Fallout 3, and Little Big Planet come first.

Mr Chain @ Sep 23rd 2008 2:26PM

We can see his pro Sonyfanboy agenda with this entry, as he must mention little big planet in this article for little to no reason.

No really, what does that have to do with this article? You and your hate for anything not Sony.

tmacairjordan87 @ Sep 23rd 2008 2:29PM

Hrm no, try again. It could have something to do with all 4 of those games coming out on the same day. Maybe...yeah I think that's it.

Titanium_Orchid @ Sep 23rd 2008 2:33PM

*sigh* I wish I had an internet stalker.

Mr Chain @ Sep 23rd 2008 2:40PM

Ssssuuuurrrreee, spin it that way if you want.

*cough* Fanboy *cough*

tmacairjordan87 @ Sep 23rd 2008 2:46PM

Yeah damn this middle class college student for not being able to afford 4 games in one day.

I said I'm going to get it, so why do you care?

Wait, why am I conversing with a troll account created today?

Mr Chain @ Sep 23rd 2008 3:02PM

Not very bright are you? :)

Pushtrak @ Sep 23rd 2008 1:46PM

"WHAT? A DEVELOPER ACTUALLY CLAIMING HIS PRODUCT IS THE BEST THING EVER??? THAT IS FUCKING UNHEARD OF AND IS WRONG!!!"

Unheard of, no. Wrong, kinda.

Fable was a tremendous disappointment compared to the hype. I'm not exactly eagerly anticipating this one.
