Your weekly dose of Fable II

Peter Molyneux likes microphones up his nose..

Oh, you know you can’t go a week without coming here and reading about Fable II! The game is going to be out in less than a week (a mere 5 days!) and I’m so excited, I can barely even move. Let alone type.

Which makes writing this post kind of difficult.

There is a new video over at GameTrailers in which Peter Molyneux, the brains behind Fable and Fable II (and a load of other games), talks about what they took from Fable and put into Fable II and pretty much how you can make your character anyone you want them to be. Oh, and Peter also says the game is “revolutionary”. I bet it is. Peter really hypes the game up and I can only hope it’s half as good as he says it is.

One part of the trailer that I didn’t know about the game: you can jump into other people’s games using XBox Live. Meaning, if you’re on XBox Live and you see a little floating bubble around, you can jump into it. And your in another on-line player’s world. Now that’s pretty freaking neat. And very different. I thought you would just like… multi-player with another person and didn’t really think that another gamer’s Fable II world would be completely different from your own.

Here’s the video:

Okay… so here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to make a character that looks exactly like me. Then I’m going to make the character do exactly what I would do in the real world if I had swords and guns. And I’ll even name my dog the same name I gave my real life dog. And then… I WILL RULE ALBION AS MYSELF. Who knows? Maybe I’ll start carrying a sword and gun around in my real life and pretend I’m in Fable II all day long. I CAN BE ANYONE I WANT TO BE DANGIT!
