Fable 2 Online Co-op Patch Set for Day 1 Release

Fable 2 Online Co-op Patch Set for Day 1 Release
Written Thursday, October 09, 2008 by Dan Webb

A recent post over at the Lionhead Studios blog indicates that the Fable 2 online co-op patch will be available for download on day 1.

Community Manager, Sam Van Tilburgh posted, "... remember we said we were busting our balls to get it ready in time for a 'Day One' release? Well - Good news folks! It looks like we've done it...for all of you who are connected to Xbox Live, when starting up your copy of Fable II"

So all this commotion about Fable 2 being incomplete before launch was really much ado about nothing. Go figure. In closing though, Van Tilburgh does note that all is well and good so long as the patch passes certification.

Thanks to xTastyBeveragex for the heads up.

@7 whats the point of posting just to say you dont want the game. i for one have a preorder from wh smiths and i got an email saying as soon as the games arrive at teh warehouse theyre sending it out so i may even get it more than one day early.

Excellent news, though it wouldn't have mattered either way because surely it's a game that you play solo first before entering the co-op "world"?

It's just good to see when a (few and far between) refreshing game is released on the 360, erather than some banal FPS/"Halo of Duty" clone.

@ #7 - You're weird.

Doesn't really matter to me if it's day one or whatever, I am playing solo first no matter what. When my hero is established then I'll play with some friends.

#21 i'm in england i'm 17 and i've preorder it from zavvi yeah they say need be 18 to sign up to there sign but u kust lie, and i have the right card when i was 15

@robnroll

yeah, im 18 now but I've had the right card since 16 and in the Uk, surely now people can easily get debit cards more than ever before. also hears a place for future reference to buy games from, you get the game 1-2 days before release date and the prices are very good most of the time e.g far cry 2 for the 360 £35 free p&p. Hopefully I don't get in trouble for advertising but the site is

Shopto.net

if the site address won't show PM me and I'll tell you the site.

Poll

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!
