Fable 2 Development

   

Various things video

Published Wednesday, August 13, 2008 9:38 PM by Sam

Some people might call me a community manager, but there's more to the job, one of them 'video'. Filming is my favourite part of it, as well as editing (but Andy tells me I'm not that G o o d [Good] at it, he's better). Capturing game footage is more difficult but we manage and now that the development is almost completely done the beauty of the game can really be captured and cut together.

An example of that is one video that's recently come out of room G20 (where Stuart and I share a room), it is hopefully soon being released as part of a feature on Gamespy.

Stuart goes mad (above)

The Pub Games are also out, I'm currently watching football on tv (Standard Luik vs Liverpool) but next I'll download them as well and try and make some dosh in the tournaments. I hear that it's just like a real casino and you need to know when to stop and take your winnings. That's not a trait you can mastered really...ever.

Seriously... I know gambling is a great way to learn personal responsibility with finances but having to buy in to play a frendly game on your own is a bummer. I have debt in real life, I don't need it in my pub games. =P

Simply amazing. I am a huge fan of the first... the sequel is looking very impressive. So what's the secret to Keystone?????  *crave monies*

it looks amazing!! thankyou so much for this vid.
Also, i'd like to say that I think Russel did an awe inspiring job on the music for this game Smily [:)] (i assume he did the music?).
Does anyone have any idea when the soundtrack will be available in the shops?

thanks Smily [:)]

As someone said, on the forums, the video feels familiar.
The music sends chills through me. It's a haunting melody. So beautiful.
Whoever taped this, did a wonderful job. The world looks fantastic. I saw a leaf fall.
I just want to play, it now.
Thanks Sam, for all your hard work.

stu_fargher said:

bannostookaylo... are you sure you're not confusing things with when Peter said there would be little mini-games that you had to play while at work (in the Fable 2 World, not the real world) to make coin?...
That aside, the video looks great, love the little write-up/interview that went along with it.
Quick question... when can we expect to see the next installment of the Tales of Albion?
Cheers!

Dear Brits,

I'm not British... nor am I American.. but I live in Canada, so I'm going to be getting Fable 2 around the same time the Americans do... and if Canada decides to be stupid about release dates (again) I may just have to hop the border quickly.. anyway... my point is, I'm sorry. Personally, I think you guys should be the first to experience that red-eyed, it's 5 am and you're still not in bed sort of magical experience... but take comfort in the fact that you guys have produced what promises to be a great game.. a game that is the only reason I bought a 360... a game where the hero runs around with your flag (Union Jack... not the Flag of St. George) on his/her underpants ... .... ...... Sam.. would you mind confirming this for me?.. do the Uk underpants make a return in this game? Cause.. you should know... they kinda were the best part of the first game... anyway.. I'm off topic.. but yeah, you people over in the Uk should be proud of what Lionhead has accomplished.

For the gold u make in the pub games is all the money u make going to be transfered to your fable 2 hero or is the gold u make off the tornaments going to be transfered to ur hero?
August 17, 2008 3:21 PM
 

stu_fargher said:

Hey Chucknorriz, I think it's all the gold you make. cause... Molyneux never mentioned anything about the tournaments... and I don't think he would forget to mention that little point... because he's a nice man who likes to make people happy.
And PinkSword, assuming I can get my 360 hooked up to a line at my new place in October, then yeah.. would love to play co-op. Cheers.
