Well he's not exactly going to admit otherwise before the game goes on sale

No he isn't but I thought it was interesting that he admitted what he'd done before so we'll just have to wait and see

Oh I wouldn't say the hype for Fable has died down. If you go on IGN they've had a different article on there about it pretty much every day for the past 2 weeks, and they're pushing it quite hard.

From what I've seen and read about the game it really looks set to deliver. I really enjoyed the first game and all I was looking for was more of the same for the sequel, but it looks like this could easily be above and beyond what the first game was. If that's the case, I'll be a happy guy.

As for classic games not released close to each other, that's not always true. Roughly this time last year we had games like Project Gotham 4, The Orange Box, Mass Effect, Guitar Hero 3, Eternal Sonata and Tomb Raider: Anniversary all released within about a 5 week period. Sure they may not all be in everyone's favourite game list, but they were all big releases that didn't really let anyone down. Hopefully this year will be the same.

Very true about Fable 2 on IGN Davey, I've seen the 3 weapon videos, expressions etc it is certainly got the exposure but just not in same vein as Gears.

Haly · 19-10-2008, 15:55

I reckon I'll still be happy with Fable 2

I am a little concerned I'll hype it up too much for myself and it'll become this year's Mass Effect for me, but I loved the first one despite it not being as promised so hopefully the same will happen here.
Edge's review of it has certainly made me more keen as I generally trust their views on games and find them to be very rarely wrong.

Black and White was a huge disappointment though admittedly.

I'm going to have to put this on the back burner for now (unless my mate can get me a free copy!). I already have GoW2, new Tomb Raider and Fallout 3 on pre-order, and am toying with FarCry 2 as well. Might wait for it to drop in price, which I guess it may a little for Christmas.

I was so very hyped up for B&W. It was Lionhead's first game. From the man who had delivered so many classics. It was going to be light years ahead of its time, featuring emergent gameplay, a unique creature etc. It was such a big let down. Since then I refuse to get over-hyped before a game is released.

Saying that I read the other day about the weapon system and the slots you have to customise weapons. Reminds me of the materia system from FF7, which is never a bad thing

10/10 on Eurogamer

I wants it even more now.

leowyatt · 20-10-2008, 15:28

Review sounds good

not long now Pete only 4 days

Did you get your money to buy it?

petemc · 20-10-2008, 15:37

Not yet. I may end up buying it and hoping things work out

I reckon it would take about 5-6 games to pay for it on trade-ins. Not worth doing imho.
