enjoyed the first one, so the precom might happen

That forest one has some fooking lovely lighting. Man I hope this one lives up to the hype, but as it's Lionhead, I'm guessing it'll only end up dissapointing somehow.

@captainrentboy

Agreed!! Fable had such potential but was so disappointing. I hope they sort out the loading for this one. Having to load to run down 100 metres of forest path and then load again was very very shite

Lets hope Fable 2 is what fable should have been

That looks fucking brilliant.

Yea very atmospheric. Looking forward to this one.

So beautiful! The art style is fantastic, as is the atmosphere. It was so refreshing to see a game which looked and "felt" English, 'twas all so quaint and lovely. Jolly good game old boy, what what.

Loving the art style, but I thought Fable was a bit pants. Hoping this one doesn't dissappoint.

No way in hell will I treat this as a day one purchase. I made that mistake with Fable. Will not be able to trust reviews, either, really. I mean, Fable already didn't deserve anything higher than a 7. And thats a low 7 in my books.

My, that looks lovely.

I really enjoyed the original, my only big gripe was the frequently loading pauses. If they can get the environment to stream in like Crackdown and Halo that'd be really good.

Whats with the Fable1 screenshots? I thought this was the Fable2 gallery?

@LetsGo

LOL was just about to say the same

shame PM has lost the plot since B&W he still thinks his games are fucking ace and orginal shame he cant see most are just dungeon keeper.

just doesn't float my boat this.

Fable 1 screenshots... sigh... so many idiots!

Shoots look good, and I like the art style.

Lots of little aliasing at full screen, hope they get that sorted, caue it look fine otherwise.

Pretty :)

I too was dissappointed with Fable 1, but only because I was expecting much more than it was after all the hype. If I'd just got it without reading so much about it first I think I would have enjoyed it much more... and I got really annoyed when they released "The Lost Chapters", which just made me feel like I'd been ripped off buying it when it originally came out :(

I think I will have to wait until this one has been out a few months b4 buying it...

@JediMasterMalik: How hard did you look to find that? :P

I clicked "full screen" It's pretty obvious. It was in the alst bunch of shots too. Don't you see it?

Anyone stating that this looks like Fable 1, graphically, is basically talking out of their fucking arse.
That screenie with the snow falling in the town centre is friggin beeeautiful.

@JediMasterMalik: To be honest... no. Nothing obvious anyway. Which one has it worst?

Sorry not full screen, but the view original button, pretty much every screen that's not a 3d render shows obvious aliasing.

Try screen 3.

@JediMasterMalik: Oh... you mean the dotted looking thing on the texture edges in places? That's not aliasing... but yeah, it doesn't look great.

Isn't it, thought it was :/ What's it called?

Well whatever it is, it's on a lot of UE3 games as well, can't stand it.

Can 't see any aliasing either, looks very smooth round the edges of the character models on the newest shots.

*casts pinch of salt (+2 defense against bulls**t)*

This does look good, it looks like it has a lot more life than some fantasy games i've seen. But im always cautious of getting too excited about anything Peter Molenyeux is involved in.


oh and I bagsy the name Dogmeat for my dog

Fable 1 was seriously disapointing. For a game about choices, your choices made zero difference. You got to the end and still got to either kill or not kill for the good or bad ending. And why the frak did my character age in fly years i.e. years in hours. By the end he was this old white haired dude! Looked more like Gandalf than the master swords fighter he was supposed to be.

At least something that is not "grey of what" kinda visual style. Still this RPG are not for me.

It looks quite nice and I enjoyed the original a lot. But I was a bit pissed too that they released The Lost Chapters shortly after.
So I'll just wait for Fable 2: The Lost Chapters this time or until it's cheap :-)

BROWN

Its the future!

Regardless of what was promised, what was delivered in Fable 1 was one of the best non-J RPG's of the last generation. It looked fantastic, it had a great control and combat system, it had buckets of charm and wit, loads of customisation, and it had a reasonable story line.

Honestly, you expected some kind of evolving world in a last-gen console game? Be realistic.

honestly - do you expect some sort of evolving world in a this-gen console game? Be realistic. :)

in saying that the art style fking blinds me , im really hoping this is great.

"honestly - do you expect some sort of evolving world in a this-gen console game? Be realistic. :)"

Hehe, no I'm going to have realistic expectations regardless of what PM promises. I am expecting a solid, charming and engrossing RPG though.

Nice shots/art. Reminds me of Final Fantasy 9.

looks so lurvly!

More and more so as time goes by :)

Looks good.

The co-op henchmen videos and ability to jump over fences, removing the on rails single path ways exploits of the original make this a must purchase for me.

If all that is in game I am surprisingly impressed.

It looks absolutely horrible. Horrible art direction, horrible bloom (My eyes! They're bleeding!) and horrible camera angles! And the colours?! Holy crap!

8/10

"It looks absolutely horrible. Horrible art direction, horrible bloom (My eyes! They're bleeding!) and horrible camera angles! And the colours?! Holy crap! "
Agree, worse game ever! It plays awfully too, slugish and all.

I'm going to wait on how Fable 2: The Lost Chapters turns out :-)

i think it looks quite superb personally, digging the art style.

no idea which are the new shots tho - are they at the start or the end of the gallery? wish EG would post a new story with some new shots so we can tell which is which, rather than just lumping them in with all the rest...

Sorry, yes it is a bit confusing. The new ones are the first three screens. I like the watercolour effect.

Soon... Very soon!

Mutts nuts.

I'm really not sure how people can say this game doesn't look amazing...

I am not much of an RPG man, but this looks great.

first game was alright, hated the laoding screens so please please please no more loading screens for fable 2

Well I'm sold on this already just looking at the screenies, big bonus to the art guys for this one I reckon!

Seriously, it looks incredible and even if the game is rubbish, I'll buy it just to look at it.

And not a gun in sight- hurrah!!!

it wasn't so much what was in fable that pissed me off, but what was not, and it wasn't even the hype that got me all hot and bothered it was mollys bloody promises that never came good.

Twas so long ago now, i cant remember specifics, but i seem to recall reading somewhere that i should technically be able to skin children and wear said skins as a cape, (the trophies were supposed to be fully customizable, not just an ornament for a house or some such) but the censors had their way/Molly was chatting shit/internets got too carried away and the rest is history.

i'm hoping that this time you can be a chaste angelic hero or a truly evil bastard, with the relevant consequences and look the part too, not just the same cut and paste character doing the same missions, looking the same, and following the same storyline.

brothel and pimp hat FTW!

as long as it last longer than the first one......and as long as molly doesn't act like he's reinventing the fecking rpg wheel like last time when in fact all he's making is a polished, well made action rpg..
