i know i'll spray every leaf brown

Surprise, Surprise ...

I never suspected that it was May 30th. My Sig has my guess. Do you have a planned time to let us know about the release date? E3? OK I'll calm down now

I really don't know why people think they'll find out about the release from anywhere other than this site right here! Since when has Play.com (or any other e-retailer/game store for that matter) had an insider at Lionhead?

even gamespot has the Fable 2 release date set to May 30th. no-one there seems to check lionhead itself.

It was obviously wishful thinking.  Most best selling games seem to be released in the fall- including on Halloween.  Probably done so that people could buy them as presents for late December. . . gets the most units sold at one time, which is , since they need to see how well a game sells in order to decide how long to continue promoting and making it, as well as whether to bother making downloadable content.  On a seperate note, do not rush their debugging, eager people!  Several would-be great games were ruined by unfound errors in programming.

I don't know why they even came up with a date like 30th May. It's so early that almost everybody already knew it was BS

Figures, typical websites randoming the release dates. My guess is around October - November

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO........ I damn near had a heart attak when i saw this heading. But you haven't told us anything but bad news. Boo Hoo

To: mcpaddyb

You and me both. We know Peter has a release date picked. We just have to wait untill it's time to reveal it. Either way it'll be less than ten months. That's not long seeing as I've been waiting since 2006.

Take your time Lionhead I'm Playing Fable TLC again. I'm going to see how the Arcade version is. I have a feeling that once Fable 2 comes out I won't enjoy Fable TLC as much.

Maybe they release it on april fools day.
That would be a sick joke. ( but a pleasant one )

Lmao, April fools would be a one.  When I saw the heading of the blog, I was like, "are you serious???" but alas, you weren't, now we must trudge through life not knowing, for now...

please don't name the post with that heading again unless ur announcing the date sammy boy, i was so excited i thought I was finally going to know when the game was being released, I've been waiting in anticipation for this game since it was first announced and for you to do that its just mean!!

nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So.. when is the game being released then?

I thought It was Oct 1st, I think it says it on Ebgames, not sure thou...

awwww. got wound up too soon... But hey it's better this way i guess, more time to perfect the game. I just hope the arcade games would come online already ! I'll take a cold shower now....

Seems like every publisher is pushing for fall, Christmas-season releases this year!  Don't force me to choose! ;(

Well it was pretty obivous that Fable 2 wasn't coming May 30th. Its too earily. I'd say around earily fall. Or late summer but i doubt that.

finally. The stupid people who believe what play.com say can be shut up. I'm sick of release date threads.

Cheers, captain.

The official xbox mag says its released in November 2008 -- Not that im going with this because lionhead has not said anything yet but it dose not state it is speculation...

  (Its also rated 18 O.o)

They're all just covering their backs! Conspiracy!

It has to be autumn in some part of the world right now. If I fly there could I get now!!!!!! Please! Really can't wait.

I am not at wait either who wnats to go to the UK and see what is taking the LHT soo long with the game??

that should hit the final nail on these release date threads.
Unfortunately, this also hurts......

I agree this is painful not knowing when Fable 2 shall be released, but i would honestly prefer the bugs to be killed when the game is released.  i would rather not have some of the stuff happen that happens in other games with glitches like being stuck in a corner thus not being able to move and thus ending in player demise....Argh!!! I hate that crud!!!

That leaf link is amazing, i love you.

I didn't get the leaf link thing.. it just went over my head.. I am not made for thinking I am made for.. well.. I am just not made for thinking! But what about the Limited Edcion Game that people are holding to Pre-Order?? Will they'er be one of those Limited Thingy?

can it plz come out like now

aww....i tought he wuld say the releas date

*rolls on the floor with a heart attack* paramedics arrive 10 minuites later to find a strapping young lad on the ground. They use a phionix down to revive him and ask him what horrible stress must have caused this event. The lad merely says,

"Sammy got meh hopes up"

ahhhh!!!

damn double postings... but still this is a thing to have posted. the stupid ass companys will always be wanting to be a hip and a skop ahead oh everone else. amazon had it for june 30th LAST YEAR so guess what? it didnt come out... but regardless of any website, this is the only place that will let ME know when to go to the local game shop to pre order, not some dumbass at gamefags.com

It doesn't matter gamefaqs is WRONG!!! If you even read the blog you could see that it just so happens that in May, THE LEAVES DON"T TURN BROWN!!! MAY is spring not fall. The date would have been relayed to us first via blog/dev diary/press release/ E3/ etc.

Hmm....I knew the title to this blog was a bit misleading. I had a feeling that LH hadn't released a date just yet.

Just the same, speculation on when Fable 2 will be released is going to be wild through out the rest of the year. The Gamestop I go to said they got a listing for October. There listing, though not confirmed by LH is going to be much closer than the prediction of a May release.

But the leaves have already started to turn brown!! Why must I suffer because you Northern Hemisphere dwellers have backwards seasons

" Fable 2 is not being released on 30th May 2008 - if that was the case I think you'd find this would have been communicated by a press release of some kind, with a packshot. "

So what your saying is we will find out at least two and a half months in advance...

so you think April 1 as a bad trick

awww it comes out in spring for us here in the southern hemesphere which is bad cus in australia it gets hot at that time of year so hot that i cant be on the 360 2 long for fear of over heating and obtaining a class 3 red-ring of death which would destroy me emotionally cuz by the time fable 2 comes out i wont be under warrnty anymore which means i cant power play NOOOOOOOOOO.

Ahhh haaaa.... 1st June then. sounds !

well i knew it was a junk lead but hey u live and hope XD

I fail to see how it's going to be the 1st of June mcpaddyb! Seeing that Autumn in the U.K. is during August and September!! Hey it's a bit of a wait but realistically 5-6 months is *** all. This game must be treated exactly the same as Guiness.

I agree with DancingBob.

damnit!!!! that heading is so mean.

but obviously LH is going to be the first place to hear it from and everything else is just speculation. hovever...still hopeful of like middle-end of september....

Its coming out October 1, 2008!  I hacked into their database at lionhead!

Ok i didnt, I called GameStop : )

You can all thank me at myspace/prophecyrevealed

I've had a look around, and most trees haven't even turned [i]green[/i] yet, never mind brown. I guess this equates to a long wait.
My guess is around Autumn time.
Although anyone living in a non-deciduous area must be crapping their pants.

BSW

I say let them take as they like to make the game as perfect as they possibly can because I want this game to take 100's of hours out of my just like the first one did.  This may seem pathetic but I am still playing the first one hours on end.

["Power! Give me more, Power!"]

Well i knew when it was coming out
it that simple a game so takes very long to make it
that

well here in the USA it turn brown in between octuber and novmeber

I've already got my pre-order in with Game, taking advantage of some 'get x off when you spend over y' vouchers back in Jan. Now I can just sit back, relax and wait for the game to arrive...

(I'm not relaxing, or patiently waiting - I want to play as much as anyone else! Still, the option's there )

*** *** WHY DO A HEADING LIKE THAT GET ALL OUR HOPES UP YA *** HEAD

Ok Sam, i'm not happy about the hero aging while everyone else stays young!
If you make it to hard to be the hero, it's not so much fun.

Hope it comes out in september somewhere like that.. but ive heard Rumours it would be out 30th October by many of my friends.

Hah Halo3 came out on my birthday.. but wasnt as as i expected it to be

fable 2, however, will be awesome and rise above the other games coming out

Halloween sounds pretty . Tis' also the date of my birth though I play completely .

gamestops realease date is october 1st. thats also the time when leaves turn brown

http://www.gamestop.com/browse/search.aspx?N=0&Ntk=TitleKeyword&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntt=fable%202#

lol i guess its that we have to wait, because the game will be ever so sweeter!

I really ,really hope it comes out in Sept. October seems so far away.

it will definetly release before october because by then all the leaves are on the ground. my guess is if its not an anniversary thing (august 1st) it will be late august to late september.

Has anyone but me actually trolled through the html code of this page?  Do it, find the nonsense, and figure out how that applies to leaves turning brown.  You'll be delightfully surprised.

how do you troll (did you mean stroll) through the html code of a page fluffums

to fluffums:
sorry found out how, but didnt find anything interesting

a cool date to reelease fable 2 is 16 june, why i think that is a cool date, becouse that is my borthday, and that is a great great pressent
i love fable, and i think fable 2 is eeven more better!

I know that Peter Molyneux is the only person who knows the exact time and date of Fable 2's release so how could other sites get details and its a bit obviouis its not out in May.

There's all four different dates I've heard about so far all in 08

1: May 30th
2: Dec 12th
3: Oct 27th
4: September Sometime

As you all would probably know It's supposedly gonna be out in the Fall or when brown leaves are about say whateva you want
but my guess is It's gonna be out in May if I'm correct that's when brown leaves start to magically appear. (hahaha) sorry Chaoto that you don't agree, I'm not trying to cause an argument but doesn't Autumn start in May or June?

Im not a guesser but exactally where in the world will the trees be turning brown???...Example....Canada and the UK have different seasons...so the release date might even be in december 31, 2008 for all we know...

Ha ha ha ha!!!
Nice one Sam!
Love the link to: http://www.sciencemadesimple.com/leaves.html
I'm quite sure had Fable 2 been released for May 30th, there would be a whole *TONNE* of stuff everywhere about it too.

And Moneyready, I'd reckon people to take into account the normal time for Autumn on the calendar months.  If I'm not mistaken, Autumn is the months of August, September and October.

Although, if one were to do a search on Amazon.com for "fable 2", they give another date (including a Limited Edition of Fable 2).
( Hey Sam, how can Amazon do something like this?  Are they pushing the boundary or trying to get in some pre-orders for a game that they know will be awesome!? )
( Maybe they have a crystal ball and know something we all don't )

I am british and we will most likely get it first, go Lionhead, Make us proud.

That's some wierd link

well its the autum obviously... and i know autum begins on the 23rd of sept.. i know cos its my brithday... would bne ace if it was the realse date! would jizz in my pants!

From what i understod, Eb games tells you the date.
If you pre-order, you can get it at 11PM on20 or october, and for none pre orders its the 21, but you basicly gotta go on the 21st otherwise its gunna be sold out.
HopeFully this helps.
