There's no guarantee that Fable 2 will be ported to PC, because of you know, piracy.

That's why Gears Of War 2 is only being released on the 360.

What do you mean by that?

It means that you have to share the screen with the host. They have to be in your sight the entire time, just like couch co-op.

Sorry to double post, but I just remembered.

Here's a new live action trailer. I love the demon look.

Here be a picture of the pause menu.

This is shaping up to be a great game. The only thing that I have issues with is the online co-op camera, it's shared, not separate.

Oh well.

Why do people advertise their forums on a much better forum that already gets an immense level of traffic?

I thought these were rather humourous.

If only they were real!

TEST YOUR MIGHT!

Hooray! MORE BAD NEWS!

So the Fable II Collectors Edition box set has been trimmed a little, losing the five printed fate cards, the Hobbe figure, and..oh yes, the box. Still, we still get a bonus DVD with developer diaries and the full game soundtrack, right? Perhaps not. Frequent Kotaku contributor and all-around nice lady Lesley Smith passes on this email from UK retailer Game regarding even further cuts to the decreasingly collectible edition.

We have recently contacted you regarding a marketwide problem with the Fable II Collectors Edition. We have since been informed by Microsoft that there has been a further complication.

They have advised us that the developer diary and soundtrack are no longer going to be available on the bonus DVD.

Let's just hope that they don't decide to cut the actual game from the CE before the title ships next month. Hit the jump for the full email.

Dear Customer,We have recently contacted you regarding a marketwide problem with the Fable

Here's summore' information, from a developer:

Lets clear some misconceptions.

1) The original LE wasn't ever going to be in a tin box. It was a special box, yes, but it wasn't tin. It was fancy cardboard, a bit like a cigar case. And as people have said, the reason it's dropped for the revised LE is because it was mostly filled by the hobbe toy...

2) The hobbe toy is on a card backing so that it fits inside said box without rattling around. That card backing is exactly the same size as a normal DVD case.

3) The full soundtrack was *never* part of the LE at any stage. That was always planned to be sold separately via Sumthing Digital (where you can also pick up other MGS soundtracks such as Halo3 and Mass Effect).

Believe me, I'm just as annoyed about it as you guys are, I was very much looking forward to having a shiny collectors edition copy of our game to hug and cherish as well.

AND FINALLY.

We are happy to announce the Fable II game is in manufacturing and confirmed for Oct-21 in North America and Asia, Oct-24 for Europe.

However, due to supply chain issues**, we are revising the Fable II Limited Collector's Edition and the estimated retail price will be reduced from $79.99 to $69.99* USD in North America or as applicable in your market. *These are estimated retail prices; actual retail prices may vary worldwide. ** we are gutted

The premium box, five printed fate cards, and Hobbe figure will not be available as part of the Limited Collector's Edition. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The Fable II Limited Collector's Edition will now include the following content at this discounted price:

* Fable II game disc
* Bonus DVD with new 'Making-of' Feature
* Bonus in-game content (requires Xbox LIVE®)
o 'The Hall of the Dead' Dungeon
o 'The Wreckager' Legendary Cutlass Weapon
o Spartan armor and energy sword

To further show our commitment to the faithful fans, we have created a special Fable album for free download for a limited time! This includes a wonderful selection of Fable 1 music and 3 brand new tracks from the upcoming Fable II soundtrack.

Go to http://www.sumthingdigital.com, and enter "FableCollection" promotion code. This will be available beginning October 6, 2008 @ 9am PST.
[UPDATE: By a suggestion made in the comments of this entry, we're going to release the Fate Cards as a downloadable PDF for you to print, plus we can also confirm the new LCE version will have the original LCE artwork).]

In my opinion I think the 360 has better upcoming titles (namely Fable 2 and Gears Of War 2), also the elite is more reliable hardware-wise as opposed to the premium / core model.

Yeah, I heard about this yesterday, I WANT MY DAMN HOBBE TOYYYYY!

Oh well, at least the price has been dropped - it costs the same as the normal version here now (lucky I pre-ordered the CE) and there's still the extra in-game content.

I wish bad things would stop happening so close to the release.

Look things up and it will only give you results which were available in 2001 and prior.

For example:

Xbox 360, 2001 - 4920 results.
Xbox 360, 2008 - 207,000,000 results.

They were a bunch of /b/tards I guarantee you. Sickening.

This site may be of use, just find your router make.

For couch co-op you share the same camera as the host.

I'm not ENTIRELY sure if it will be the same for online co-op.

Fable 2 Won't Ship With Online Co-op
---

US, September 26, 2008 - Fable II, scheduled to ship to retail stores on Oct. 21, will not include online co-op functionality right out of the box and will require a downloadable update afterward, according to a post on Microsoft's Gamerscore blog this afternoon.

Offline co-op will work on day one, but Lionhead and Microsoft Game Studios are still hammering out the kinks in the online co-op. According to the post, the game's developers are "looking to get the update out within the first week of launch in North America." As of today, there's no specific date set for the patch, and there's no word on when other regions might see the update.

Although you won't be able to join up with a friend right away online, the Gamerscore post says you'll "still see your friends as glowing orbs as well as chat and trade with them."

Fable II boasts an ambitious co-op mode that allows you and a friend to interact and affect one another's game worlds to a large degree. And although we've previewed the offline co-op, we haven't yet seen the online functionality in action.

We'll keep you posted as we hear more from Microsoft and Lionhead on the feature and when gamers can expect to see it.

This is no biggy really, at least they didn't post-pone the release all together.

You know what better evidence is?

Do a bill fan, plox. Then send it my way so I don't ban you by accident. ;)

Haha sorry, Australian nub here. WELL, *ahem* how do we know that the wad isn't just the lowest amount in bill form for Canada.

How do we know that the wad isn't just 1 dollar bills?

You have to call Xbox support and register your console.

RROD is covered for 3 years, everything else is covered for 12 months.

What an original thread idea, can we get this guy a medal?

HURRRR ANOTHER ATHEIST THREAD.

HEY GUYS, I'MA BE HARDCORE LIKE THOSE KIDS YOU SEE ON TELEVISION.

HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

I say this in every thread of this subject: Let people believe what they want to believe and just respect it, God, how is that such a difficult concept to grasp?

This drive looks pretty shocked too.

Why is one drive so happy and the other so horrified?

I pre-ordered the Fable 2 CE for the extra goodies that came with it.

Here's an arthouse film I made for my film class. It could have been better...I had quite a few problems while shooting.

Anyway, good luck with yours.

Haha, did you guys hear? Apparently PM said that the exploit in the Pub Games was intentional and that if you had used it, it would cause repercussions for your character when you start playing Fable 2.

DUN DUN DUNNNNN

Not entirely sure if it's true, but pretty sneaky if it is.
