Fable - XBox
 

I've been wanting to get this game since it was called Project Ego. A long, long time ago.

And it's been preordered for me as an anniversary gift. Rock on.

Who else is getting it?

I'll be getting it. From what I've seen on the web it's not anything near what they promised back in the Project Ego days but still looks really good. Sudeki was another "must have" game but has slipped off the list since I've played the demo. I hope this one doesn't disappoint.

This along with Halo 2 is pretty much all I've been looking foreward to this holiday.

Here's some more reasons to look forward to this holiday season. There's gonna be some good shit in November.

One of my friends plans on getting Fable. It looks dope, looking forward to that and Halo 2.

I'll pick up a copy for sure. Looks promising indeed.

Damn, don't tell me Sudeki sucks. I just picked up the demo, haven't even tried it. I'm hoping we just have different tastes.

As for Fable, looking forward to it a smidge less that Halo2! So, ergo, an effing bunch! (it better not even remotely suck)

I preordered my copy of Fable - and yes Sudeki sucks. Sorry but I kinda hated the demo that came with the pre-order.

I am preordering ASAP!!! I loved Morrowind and Fable has the same openendedness. I plan on running two characters. A Good Fighter/Archer and An Evil Mage. MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

I'm def getting it! That and Halo 2.

I'm gonna wait till it comes out on the PC. I fear it will be as buggy as Morrowind. Halo 2 looks great though.

You might be waiting a looong time...

I was thinking the same thing. From what ive heard I don't know if it will ever come out on pc.

As it reads on the cover of the box:

ONLY ON XBOX



I am hoping for morrowind meets KOTOR myself, but from everything I've read it should be at least worth the 49.99 if not game of the year material...

I've been looking forward to it for a long time. And I hate RPGs, except RPGs that aren't linear pieces of shit *coughfinalfantasy*.

I was reading in EGM, I don't remember exactly what the article was, but it was about gaming's next biggest trends. Well, one part was called "Emergent Gameplay" and it had Peter Molyneux (creator of Fable, Black & White, Archon, Populous), and it said that he was watching a person play Fable, and the guy playing arranged a meeting between his character, and the town mayor, outside the town, in the forest. He watched the guy kill the mayor, then proceed to go into town and kill the mayor's wife. He later found out that the tester's main character recently married the mayor's daughter, and killed the mayor, and the mayor's wife, so the main character would inherit the mayor's property/possessions.

Badfuckingass.

I'll probably rent it first. That's what I did with KotOR. I rented it for the Xbox so I could play it, then waited for them to release the PC version and bought it then. I also did that with the original Halo. I can be very paitent.

That is awesome!

Definitively ; the sooner the better...
I just saw the 40 minutes interview of Peter Molyneux, and man do this game looks great !
PS : Sudeki DOESN'T suck at all ; it's a nice little action/rpg game, very well realized, only a bit repetitive and, of course, very linear (that's a standard problem of the genre).

i like that your player changes appearance based on how you level up and how you behave. That's pretty sweet. Everybody's character will be totally unique.

I like the fact that as you get more famous villagers copy your hairstyle because they look up to you.

I'll be getting this too.

Halo 2, of course.

I'm still hoping Jade Empire lives up the current hype, too.

This game looks like it'll be a very good game since I've read the preview on gamespot. I'm planning on buying an Xbox just for this, Halo 2 is a given.

Halo 2: Reserved a copy
Fable: Reserving a copy this weekend.

Fable looks like an amazing game.

This game looks like you could play for hours without actually advancing the story. I mean, how could you ever get sick of going up to a town woman, thrusting your pelvis at her, flipping off her kids, farting at the guard, then killing the woman, chopping off her head, playing soccer with it, and then farting on it? Go get a new tattoo and repeat.

Any videos or other such media floating around?

xbox.ign.com has a full 12 page article and videos/images

I cant wait for this game... Sudeki was a bust, the Xbox needs a good RPG. (Though I havent played KOTOR yet, which I hear is great.)

Check out these previews from IGN.

Greatest Preview of All Time

Fable Crib Sheet

Reading those just makes me want to play this game even more.

Wow, this game looks nothing short of incredible. The only RPG like this I've ever played is Morrowind, which is quite addicting without all the crazy features Fable boasts. Thank God I have an XBOX already, or I'd probably have to buy one just for this game. Sept. 14th can't come fast enough!

I can already tell that this game is going to take up much of my spare time. Kind of like Morrowind did a couple of years ago.

Damn you great RPG creators!

I watched a limited edition preview documentary of Fable the other day at work. It looks prettty nice. It looks like there might be some camera issues, but who knows. You only can be a white character. There's not much customization besides what they made customizable for the white main character.

also they said that you could be male or female but now you can only be male.

and yes I hope Fable will be as good as they say it will be, could be a huge let down, same with Halo2

That's the only thing I do not like about what I hear. Sure, everyone's characters will pretty much be customized just by the way they play, but what about getting badass weapons and armor, changing beginning player stats and race (although I believe human is the only intelligent race in the game anyway, but what's an rpg without elves and shit?), etc etc. Hopefully this will prove to only be a minor drawback.

even though i don't have a dollar to my name right now, i will find a way to buy this game. you can count on that. still patiently awaiting its release

I put down my finsky at eb games today to reserve my copy. I'm pretty excited about this one....thinking about playing the good side but with a few outbreaks of extreme evilness. It's sad that I always end up playing the good side first because we all know that good is dumb.

Fable is single handedly forcing me to buy an Xbox. Not that Xboxes are bad, I'm just kinda poor, and I already have a Gamecube so I usually wait and see if games come out on it. But Fable just looks too cool, and I know GC will never get it.

Quoted from xbox.ign.com

I have been waiting 4 ever 4 this game, and now it's almost time. Gonna be the first in my city to get it.

Anyone up for a 41 minute documentary on Fable?
