Gamespot: No Fable 2 till October?

Gamespot: No Fable 2 till October?
Written Wednesday, June 25, 2008 by Joe Robinson

Gamespot believe that the highly anticipated Fable sequel may not be appearing till October.

First noted on the NeoGAF message boards, the latest developer's diary for Fable 2 shows Molyneux circling October into his diary. This goes perfectly with his previous hints of the title coming out "when the evenings draw in, and it gets a little chilly, but not very chilly at night."

The gaming website has done some more research, and apparently several major retailers, including Amazon, Gamestop and Bestbuy, all have Fable 2 pegged for an October release.

There are still other major titles however that still haven't been given a release date, such as Halo Wars and Alan Wake.

It's only a matter of time before the truth is revealed.

Why the hell has the game got a user score of 87%!? I mean, no-ones played the damn thing!!! Why would someone post a review score of a game thats not even out yet nor they've played! The logic of some people is beyond me...

Anyway, I enjoyed the first Fable, so I'm quite looking forward to it, though alot of promises went unmet with the first title from Molyneux, so it should be interesting to see how the 2nd installment fills out...interested to see what they do with the achievements too, as their comments about what they intend to do, along with the possiblities that could be done with a Fable list seem quite intruiging...

Beans, thats because the game is like 500 years in the future of the first game :)

I think something needs to be done about the scores given to games that aren't even out yet.

I think I'm going to have to save up because I think I'm going to have a repeat of last year.....

I thought it was always October? I've been seeing an October 2008 release date for a while. I dunno...maybe my mind is playing date tricks on me. *shrugs* Regardless, I'm picking it up. I'm even bypassing Merc 2 and Just Cause 2 to get it. SHOCK!FACTOR!x3!

October is fine by me! I'd rather they take their time on all the little intricate details and make the game as best as possible, as oppose to rushing the game out to store shelves. I'm REALLY looking forward to this game! The first one was awesome!

Fable 2 - October...
Gears of War 2 - November...

Things are shaping up to be a good early Christmas!! Save your money!

Yeah, there is always a rating on every single game that isn't out yet. People just rate what they think they will rate it as. Or they just want to piss off people. I also always see that people have added games to their collection that aren't even close to their release date i.e. Guitar Hero World Tour. If the had the game, wouldn't they tell us the achievements?

I can't wait for this game! I beat Fable twice in a week, once as good and once as evil. It was the most fun I have ever had playing a game. Even without achievements! :O

I want them to be uber creative with achievements almost to a point of offending people i.e. The orphaner - 10 GS : Put 10 kids in an orphanage.

You know really random crap like that :D

October seems ok. I downloaded Fable from the Xbox Live Marketplace and I really enjoyed playing it. Still have it on my hard drive.

Fable 2 is a must have.

halo wars probably wont come out until spring 09. which is a bummer. i want that now.

Ok this is kinda ridiculous, they have been hinting at october for months now, the only reason they dont say it is october for sure, is because incase they aint done, they dont have a problem. They have said they have made people mad with release dates before so they "fixing" the problem.

Wasn't October already the release date?

Fable 1 was awesome... cant wait for the sequal. Lionhead can take until next year if they want, as long as they put the effort into it. Screenshots look amazing. Just hope its longer then the original.

Its not rare for x360a news to be not so new but this was known for moths.. cmon. You should just stick to taking bits from xbox360fanboy.

The Developer Diary only game out recently - that's why it's news. Sure, It's been hinted at October for months, but the key word there is 'hinted'. It may not be October.

October? I heard Christmas before, so this is almost a bonus.

Unfortunately, it comes out along the same time as Fallout and Saint's Row 2, and with Force Unleashed only out for a few weeks. But, outside of Banjo-Kazooie, that's all I want to play for the next few months, so I'll be fine. I just have to prioritize (Force Unleashed is why I bought an Xbox, so it gets top dibs).

I am looking forward to this! Its going to be amazing! Loved the first one, too!

AT #1: the reason it's got a score of 86% is fanboyism... or not in some cases. I would be willing to bet most (if not all) "reviewers" gave it either 100% or 0% score.

On topic however, this news is cool and doesn't really bother me.

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
