will they take it to far

nstalaat · 08-22-2007, 07:24 AM

i was wondering how far will peter take it, and will he take it so far that the game physics are just not even fun any more. for instance hes removing the mini map and replacing it with a dog, and giving you guns. both of those and changing the way the entire game is played. and generally it seems game play will become much more complex with these 2 changes alone. i mean bungie hasn't tried anything new and risky with halo and look how successful they have been. why couldn't they stick to the old frame and refurbish it with a new plot, new features, and some better graphics.

p.s. would anyone else like something to do with their character once they finish the game besides wander??

also i hope they incorporate continent separated by oceans

Well they are also making certain things less complex as they are taking down the amount of spells etc and only keeping it to ones that are most useful. They have said 'less is more' like in my previous thread and are doing their best to keep clutter to a minimum and keep only things that are essential and most interesting. Also Bungie have added many new things to Halo 3 just at first glance they arent big changes that you notice straight away, though if you look into it there are a lot there.

I`d say they make it just right since we can`t really expect what will happen. And any new good features will be very welcome.
Too complex - I doubt it, PM has already stated that combat will be played with only one button (or something like that). I think they`re making the game more fun to play (the dog = minimap) and challenging.
Fable 1 was too easy so a little more complex isn`t bad.

I would agree as he wants to make the combat more innovative with one button controls and situational and environmental attacks. However at the same time try and add some complexity to keep hardcore gamers happy.

I'm putting my confidence in Lionhead to make a truly awesome game. I won't, I repeat Won't, be Fable or TLC it will be very different and think it will be awesome.

No matter what they do, I know Fable 2 will make me happy.

What if you had to walk around as a flying dook monster whipping chunks of turd at monsters while having to tend to a mentally challenged dog?

well, that wouldn't be Fable 2, now would it?

Ya never know, PM might just be like, HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Look at you morons, you just wasted 60 bucks on a game where you play as a flying turd!!!!!

Ahhh... Immaturity rules everything...

But that would still be innovative and people would respond: "Thanks PM, we´ve never experienced something like that. What can we say, being a turd is FUN!"

what I'm saying is halo took a functioning system and changed the details like a few new weapons and objects not removed the radar and give you a homing pidgeon

Halos system was near perfection though, however people complained about certain things in Fable so they felt the need for a complete overhaul.

ok now i get where your coming from

You mean taking it so far that when you even go to the press start screen, the xbox360 would instantly crash because of the immense data amounts?

If it can handle Bioshock and Mass Effect no problem im sure nothing in Fable 2 will worry it

With Peter Molyneux saying Fable 2 will feature no cut scenes that alone will save A LOT of space on the disc. As FMV/Pre-Rendered Scenes take up the most space and games like Mass Effect use real time cut scenes to mirror the changes you have made to your character to get around this and add to immersion.
