The following is a quote from Sam himself, the man who makes the videos, regarding the status of the Video Diary 4:

As in regards to the next video diary: it's done, I'm finished with it, and it now lies in the capable hands of the Xbox Live people (I've basically handed them the files over) so I don't have any control as to when exactly it'll be released but it'll be soon I presume.

There you go. The video is finished, and only needs to be approved and put up on live by the Xbox Live team at Microsoft. Expect the Diary sometime this week or maybe Tuesday or Wednesday next week (Christmas is Tuesday, which would mean it would be my original prediction

).

I made a new thread for this for the people who have already read the other threads and have decided to ignore them since they probably wont have new info.

Edit: Sorry, I forgot a link...again.

Xbox live isn't the only place the video diarys go.

Nice Find though.

Raiyell · 12-17-2007, 09:33 PM

yea, it will be up on the internet, however, it will be on live at least at the same time and it will be put up by the live team or from someone with permission from them.

Raiyell · 12-20-2007, 08:10 PM

1. It is not released yet. It will be shortly though.
2. I have no idea if he has an account here.
3. It is able about the Fable 2 world. This is the first Fable 2 diary, while the others were only Lionhead diaries. However, this is, also, the only Fable 2 only diary that we know of.

The other ones were about fable 2. Not any other game. o_O.. Where does it say they're changing the name of it? They said "Next video diary" Which makes me assume "Lionhead Diary 4"

Raiyell · 12-20-2007, 09:49 PM

No, technically the first 3 diaries were not about Fable 2. They are called Lionhead Video Diaries so that they can do anything about Lionhead. That's why there is no reason for people to complain, saying, "Why did they show the costume party in the Fable 2 diary?" It had to do with Lionhead so it was in the Lionhead Video Diary. However, being Lionhead, a company who pays an immense amount of attention to the community, Sam announced that the next diary, Lionhead Video Diary #4, will be focused on the Fable 2 world and allowed for us to contribute questions to be asked in the video. The video is still the 4th diary, but it technically is the first one that is about Fable 2. The first three have ban about Fable 2 just because it is the only thing they have announced that they are making. Once they announce their other projects, they will be included in the diaries, as well, in addition to any Lionhead activities and events.

True, but maybe this diary will be straight forward information (and answering those questions we gave LH).

Wow guys, it's the 20th...hope it comes out soon, and even if I won't be picky, it would be great if it was released before christmas day.

Raiyell · 12-20-2007, 09:59 PM

Oh, I should add what some other devs have said about the Diary, too.

Not a massive amount of cold, hard verbal info, but enough things seen on monitors etc to generate a LOT of talking and possible excitement.

I know of one person on these boards who will be happy after watching it. :-P

I know everyone is eager to see it and I'll be the first one to admit that I want it to go out as soon as possible but in order to get it up and released on the marketplace we need to have a little patience. I spoke to my friends at Microsoft last night and it's being sorted out so hopefully not too long now before it's out.

The Key part of the Phrase "Lionhead Video Diary #4, will be focused on the Fable 2 world " is the word World,as in the world of Fable 2. All of the Video Diaries had something to do with Fable 2 but also let us, the community, get to know the faces behind the developers. A part that I really like. I imagine that this upcoming one will have the same format. Some Fable stuff and some about the developers and their hijinks. After all it can and should be used to attract new talent to the company.

Some may recall that I pulled a clip from the last Diary showing Pirates in Albion
