Video Diary 5 is Here !!!

Quote:

The next installment is here; Lionhead and Microsoft Game Studios Release Episode 5 in the Light-hearted Video Diary Series . Go behind-the-scenes with Peter Molyneux and Lionhead Studios as they prepare to unveil offline multiplayer in “Fable 2” at the Game Developer’s Conference

It was hard work, filming in San Francisco at the Game Developers Conference, dark spaces, security people telling you you're not allowed to film... Two hours of footage turned into a small piece in this video diary. I'm sure all that footage will come in use one day.

"Meet the team at Lionhead, hard at work on the Xbox 360 exclusive Fable 2, the highly-anticipated follow up to the best-selling Xbox exclusive Fable."

"In Episode Five, you will see exclusive footage of Peter Molyneux rehearsing for the Microsoft keynote at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco."

Check out Episode Five at http://www.lionhead.com/diaries and on Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
Work on Episode Six has already started (about Art and Heroes) and I promise you it'll be longer!

Yeah it was a short one but we did get to hear about magic for the first time. That was cool.

im just thrilled i dont need live to play co-op

Keelee.Hamomin · 03-20-2008, 08:08 AM

They did say online co-op. When they first star talking about GDC, he says online multi-player and couch co-op. Or I'm hearing things........ no I will NOT burn down Walmart! You can't make me, you're just a disembodied voice! So there!

^^; eh-heh...... ahem.....
I wish they would have shown us more magic...... They didn't even talk about it that much, they just went straight into the same stuff we've heard about co-op...... I do like the cartoon lightning effects they mentioned though.

That'll be amusing.

It was one of the best spells in the game. It would be fun if after you die and the baddies all jump on you that you come back and first thing you do is cast force push and and of them go flying like agent smith in the matrix

Jimbo1425 · 03-20-2008, 03:27 PM

i would love my guy to look like that

Dark Drakan · 03-20-2008, 06:01 PM

Didnt reveal a whole lot overall but always interesting to hear from the staff.

That shot about looks awesome by the way.

Jack0Blades · 03-20-2008, 07:50 PM

i'll bet that the "couch co-op" will be expanded to party quests online. I can't imagine it not happening that way.

I tend to steer clear of these diaries because I want the Fable 2 experience to be something completely new to me, inasmuch as it is possible anyway. However, Steve and I watched this on XBL earlier and I am so excited about the couch co-op - the idea of just coming in the room, grabbing a controller and joining in is awesome!!
