One comes a million follow.

I'm excited about GDC, but then I'm not as my Grandmoter passed away last year on Feb. 20th. So, I am looking forward to LH's presentation though.

I'm sorry for you loss.

Im aware of PM's keynote , but will there be complete gameplay videos showing off the game ?

Most likely yes, and if we dont actually get a full video, there's bound to be some video in the Video Diary Numero cinquo ahahaha

This link might be helpful.

Thank you Ralph H. Baer

Well of course we'll see some actual gameplay. It'll most likely be a test level. PM will have to show us as he explains it all, so we'll get a demo, I'm sure.

Hopefulyl we see somrthing with the engine features all turned on this time, and of the latest build

A few of the other outlines on other sites, have stated that Peter will have live footage to explain his ideas further...Which means, we get to see a ton of new action for Fable 2...

I think he's going to do at least 30 minutes...I'd say, this is how it goes down...

Peter quickly explains the dog/unconditional love feature, then shows a minute or two with the dog, doing various non-combat things to exemplify his point...

Next, Peter explains the combat system and how everything will work with one button...He quickly shows the Melee, how everything works with the X...Shows he can aim by holding the Y button or rapidly shooting by tapping the Y...And he does the same for Magic, explaining it's the B button...

Since he's gone into such detail with those other features at other shows, he can then spend like 20 minutes talking about the new feature...And not only just the 3rd Secret, he can also show more things regarding the dog and combat, WHILE he's showing the 3rd Secret...

So I don't think this entire presentation is going to be just the 3rd feature...I think he's going to enlighten us on what it is, but at the same time, show us newer improvements on the other features...I'm anxiously awaiting GDC, this is going to be an absolutely gross presentation...

Yeah that sounds about right.

This is the only thing he could announce...

The idea of taking your ingame hero into a arena on xbox live while effecting your singeplayer game in some way. Like if you win a match, you win gold or somthing for your character in the game. So everytime you enter the arena you'd have the option of fighting someone who is at the arena on xbox live. Or somthing similar to this but, I kinda dout this will even be in the game at all honestly. Maybe some sort of Multiplayer in some way or the other?

Other then that, Its gotta have somthing to do with AI and he will probably lay out more of the goal in the game and maybe tell us how we can control everything in the game with power etc.

Other then that i just cannot think what else there could possibly be

That's not innovative either.

You just gotta be more open minded on what I said is all

I just want a release date.

Cretin=

brainless, stupid and full of pointless information that makes no sense and appeals only to other cretins. They can be found in every single internet forum, where they race to post as many mind-numbing messages as possible.

Other possibly is that it could be voice control emotes, but I think will be 2 player co-op Offline this will let many Fable 1 fans play Fable 2 with wife. The past secrets points to 2-player offline, you can play a woman, (my wife is a woman) combat so simple even my wife could do it and a pet. (Women love pets)   Although women do love fashion and even though the age of highwaymen had great fashions there is no sign that F2 has them. So I guess we will just have to want to find out what it is.

 

 P.S. There are tons of MMORPGs with PvP so Xbox live PvP would not be innovative in the gaming world, just in Fable’s world. So he could announce but I don’t see it being one of the big three.

I believe in capitalism even thou I’m bad at it.

I really cannot stress this point enough...Not everyone has Live!! The 3rd feature has to pertain to the entire game itself, not just for the people who can play online...

I have XBox Live, so for me, getting a ridiculous feature for online would be great news...But I'd feel terrible for the people who don't have that luxury...

They are anxiously awaiting a feature they'll have no chance to try?? That's not what Lionhead is about...Think about what Lionhead is doing for the game itself...

They are trying to make it as accessible as possible for every gamer out there...To implement an online multiplayer as the biggest feature for Fable 2, you are closing the door on potential buyers who might feel cheated...

I just don't see how or why the biggest feature would be online, when not everyone could explore that option...Seems foolish...

redruM, going back to the topic "The Third Secert", I think the best theory so far is the simulated world where each NPC is unique, ages, and dies over the span of your life

Well it would be a pretty selling point to have the biggest secret to be something with online... Microsoft would probably get a few more live users and Peter has already talked about there will be some kind of online (we however dont know if it's just downloading a couple of new swords or actually online gameplay).

I say online and offline co-op.

Exactly

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Jim Bob asks: What integration with Xbox live is planned for Fable 2? Online co-op? New episodes? Dog armour?
Peter Molyneux: No comment, sorry - although this is my 'favourite' topic.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also I can't quote this becuase it was only in the conference meeting vid, but Peter was asked somthing about Coop or multiplayer online and Peter said "I would love to talk about that, its defenitly one or is my favorite subject" somthing on those lines.

So the Third Secret is ethier 2 player on screen Coop in some way or the other, as people posted very possible things that I could see him saying above. Or straight up somthing to do with playing or involving yourself with someone other then your self, while playing the game. Then again, somthing like this could be in the game and may not even be the third secret at all, could just be somthing extra he's throwing in there. Who really knows but I can't stop viewing this forum everyday & its getting ridiculous

i remember a video where PM said his third feature would be his best and most innovative, but also said that when he told people, they all laughed at his idea

so what the hell could be so innovative and great, yet be laughable to someone else!?

it drove me crazy the day I saw the video....


I can''t find a link on it, so you guys will have to go searching for it if you want to see it.

The Labyrinth

Shisou:

Just because I'm a man. A manly-man. In fact, I'm currently eating a Manwich, no joke.

I have sucky net at home, and I don't know, but I think my college's net is limited, and I really hate playing against other people with the limited functions of a controller or keyboard.  Give me some VR gear and great!  otherwise, go away.

So I hope the "big 3rd feature" of Fable isn't "online play" because there's nothing new and innovative about that.  I'd rather see any kind of physical change system, given they include one, or perhaps a glimpse at the scale of the world, or a really detailed alignment system, or heck, how they do female PCs in the game!

"When people come over, I check them for weapons. If they don't have any, I lend them one for the day."

I dare anyone to ask me how much I've glitched in the Pub Games.

From the leaked French site info I'd bet on the offline co-op idea, myself.

I have to agree with Rum on this because some of us can't get Live. Period. I have it, but some of my ffiends who are real into fable come to me for new info because they don't have the Internet one of them doesn't even have a computer. There not kids or anyting, but they live on their own and have jobs that don't pay well, and one of them had a kid to take care of, so some of us can't help it, and can't get Live. I used to think oh maybe it is an live feature, but thinking about it again it wouldn't make sense.

I'm putting my money on some type of simulationg world with sim NPCs.
