Fable 2 in late 2008 - Molyneux News
Xbox 360 PC News by Tom Bramwell
Fable 2 will be released in "late 2008", Peter Molyneux told Eurogamer readers today in a wide-ranging LiveText interview.
When pressed to be more specific, he added: "Late 2008. Maybe when the leaves have a slight brownish tinge - but are still on the trees, if you see what I mean." Fable 2 is Lionhead's Xbox 360-exclusive follow-up to the critically acclaimed Xbox ARPG Fable.
Molyneux also dropped hints about what else the British developer - now Microsoft-owned - is working on. "We are working on a title now which is kind of a hybrid of Dimitri," he told Eurogamer readers.
"I am really, really pushing the powers-that-be to allow me to tell/show the world this new project. I know I am prone to say things like 'great', 'revolutionary' and 'ambitious', but this new project is absolutely great, revolutionary and ambitious!"
Other highlights of Molyneux's chat with Eurogamer readers:
- The name of Lionhead's second project quite possibly begins with "Mi" - the rest got snipped by a buffer in our interview system and then he thought better of revealing it!
- He's interested in developing simulation and God games for the DS, and said he would love to do Dungeon Keeper DS if EA gave him the rights back.
- The game he most enjoyed this year - "mainly because of the environment and story" - was BioShock.
- He would consider working on somebody else's property rather than original IP providing Lionhead was given "creative freedom to take the licence in any direction".
- He says the Xbox 360 is the best console he's ever worked on. "I have to be diplomatic, but that is true."
- He believes that within the next ten years a game will be considered "a major scientific breakthrough".
- He would rather be invisible than have lasers for eyes.

I can't wait for Fable 2, but as far as the interview went, I thought it was really poor. I was really expecting them to "allow" more questions on Fable 2. And the fact that certain people got multiple questions answered...meh...not cool.

Quoting J.C here:
"I am really, really pushing the powers-that-be to allow me to tell/show the world this new project. I know I am prone to say things like 'great', 'revolutionary' and 'ambitious', but this new project its absolutely great, revolutionary and ambitious!" No peter. just shut your mouth, its for the best really. - - - Agreed; first thing that came to my mind. Please, the powers that be, issue a gagging order on him. That way our expectations wont be dashed yet again when the game finally comes out and is pretty average to okay.

Fable 2 is selling to a vastly larger installed base than MGS4, and will sell to a wider audience too.

I seriously doubt Fable 2 will sell as much as MGS4, regardless of install bases.

The best selling MGS (2) sold 7 mil, fable sold 2 mil.
Compare the Xbox vs. PS2 installed base and the 360 vs. PS3 installed base. Fable 2 will sell as many as MGS4 easily. |

Yeah, it really is that easy, has nothing to do with demographic, competition, or quality.

Fable was a great game. It didnt deliver what was promised but no console of that generation could.
It's sales figures point to good sales for Fable 2. It will sell. |

@Tim:
""We are working on a title now which is kind of a hybrid of Dimitri," he told Eurogamer readers. How can something be a hybrid of one thing? Doesn't that mean that the game is...well, Dimitri..?" Don't be confusing him with your crazy logic-ness! He's Peter M. -- he doesn't have to make sense. |
