360 - Fable II - Fable II - K-Mart breaks Street Date in Australia

Report by XboxOZ360: First Kmart, will EB be next? From article:

"It seems some lucky Australians managed to pick up Fable 2 today (still a week from release) from various Kmart stores around the country. Reminiscent of the fiasco surrounding Mass Effect, this leak could lead to the complete lifting of the recommended street date for the sale of Fable 2, currently scheduled for a 23rd October release.

Electronics Boutique (Australia's largest gaming retailer) are currently assessing the situation, and if their head office were to give the green light for sale, the floodgates would be open for other retailers to follow suit."

360 - Fable II - TGS 08: Peter Molyneaux thinks you should skip Fable 1, go right to sequel

Destructoid's Nick Chester reports:

"Peter Molyneaux is proud of what he and Lionhead have done with Fable II, slated to hit the Xbox 360 on October 21.

"I look at Fable II, and I think it's one of the best games I've ever done," he tells me during a private demo of the title at Tokyo Game Show today.

When he asks me if I had played the original, I admit that I never finished the original. It sits in my pile of shame, I tell him, and I promise that I'm going to do my best to sit down and play it through before the sequel is released.

"No you won't," he says firmly. "Don't.""

360 - Fable II - Molyneux: We'd be pretty dumb not to plan Fable 2 DLC

Speaking to VideoGamer.com the outspoken Molyneux stopped short of outright confirming DLC for the hotly anticipated Fable II, but did let slip some details on what it might include, as well as when it might be available.

He said: "Without any official announcements, I would say that we'd be pretty dumb not to plan it. What I would say, if we're going to do DLC then I definitely don't want it to be just a whole load of new weapons and armour. I just don't want it to be that. It needs to be something a bit more tangible and it would be nice if you didn't have to wait months and months for it as well."
