Archief - Fable 2

Alleen die elementen maakten mij al nieuwsgierig naar Fable 2, maar toch was er naar mijn mening - ongeacht de beloofde elementen die deel 1 nooit gehaald hebben - een nòg groter minpunt aan Fable. Tijdens het productieproces van Fable 1 werd er zo heel af en toe gehint naar een coöperatieve modus, maar die is nooit verschenen. Opgelucht en enthousiast was ik dan ook toen Molyneux op de GDC een al heel degelijk uitziende coöp-modus onthulde. Op het podium nodigde hij een collega uit waarna zijn personage werd ingeladen in de spelwereld van Molyneux. Volgens Molyneux krijg je in RPG’s niks terug voor de ervaring die je krijgt in de spelwereld van een ander. Hier is dat anders. Al het geld dat je verdient, de experience points die je verwerft, en elke andere vorm van ontwikkeling neem je mee terug naar je eigen spelwereld.

Microsoft press release:
Lionhead Studios and Microsoft Game Studios today announced that consumers who pre-order a copy of the Xbox 360™ exclusive, “Fable II,” at participating retailers worldwide, will be given free access to download the “Fable II” Pub Games when they are released this August. Available exclusively on Xbox LIVE Arcade, fans can transfer the gold earned in these casino-style mini-games to the world of “Fable II,” when the game is available later this year.

The final names of the Xbox LIVE Arcade “Fable II” Pub Games (which will be available as one download) are: “Keystone,” which is a combination of Craps and Roulette, “Spinnerbox,” which is an updated take on slot machines, and “Fortune’s Tower,” which is a press your luck style of game. The download will also include a Shell, which is a tutorial of all three games.

Now and for the first time ever, “Fable II” fans can get a head start on their virtual experience, starting their long awaited quest through this sequel with gold in the bank and the ability to purchase items right off the bat, such as weapons, clothing, houses, dog tricks and more - an experience that can only be found on Xbox LIVE Arcade.

So you won't be exiting to lobbies or pre-arranging to meet your pals in Fable 2. Rather, in couch co-op, you'll simply throw a spare controller to your friend and they'll pop in, LEGO Star Wars-style. Online, things get a little more interesting.

It's all to do with orbs. These look a little like pearls, and move politely about the world of Fable 2 as if minding their own business. And they are minding their own business: every orb you encounter is somebody on your friends list who's independently playing through the game. The orb shows their position, allows you to chat, gift them items, compare stats, and even boot them out of your world. It also allows you to invite them in to join you properly.
