Tales of Albion

360 News from N4G | Fable 2

Sam writes, "We're pleased to announce the launch of a brand new Lionhead.com website, including new content for fans that are eagerly waiting for Fable 2.

If you are interested in the backstory of Fable, Fable: The Lost Chapters and Fable 2 then we have just the thing for you. We have a collection of lore from different areas of Fable's history, called Tales of Albion. You can read about "The destruction of ancient Albion" and in the future we'll be adding "The fall of the Heroes" and the culture of present-day Albion. The Fragments of the Old Kingdom start with chapter 1. Reign of the Court."

Fable 2 dialogue: 370,000 words recorded - That's around 38 hours of spoken word

360 News from N4G | Fable 2

360 - Fable 2 - Fable 2 dialogue: 370,000 words recorded - That's around 38 hours of spoken word

CVG writes: "If you're a massive trivia fan and loved the original Fable on Xbox, then all our news stories out together won't please you nearly as much as this one. CVG has received a few facts and figures about the sonic side to Peter Molyneux's Fable II.

The audio, or rather vocal landscape, of the game has been recorded at the London-based firm Side. It's latest newsletter reveals that Side cast over 45 actors (aged from 8 to 80) to play almost 200 speaking characters.

'Four of Side's voice directors ensured that all performances harmonised perfectly with Fable II's idiosyncratic world and captured the complexities of its inhabitants. The voice recording ran concurrently in two studios for over three months, amounting to nearly 370,000 words recorded - that's 38 hours of dialogue.'"

Fable 2 Unraveling in October?

360 News from N4G | Fable 2

360 - Fable 2 - Fable 2 Unraveling in October?

Peter Molyneux has wanted to tell gamers when they can expect his studio's next ambitious Xbox 360 title for quite some time now. Never one to temper the lavish melodrama surrounding his titles, the celebrity designer has repeatedly hinted that his open-world fantasy role-playing game Fable 2 will be out this holiday season, saying at different times that gamers can expect to be playing it "when the leaves turn brown," or more specifically, "when the evenings draw in, and it gets a little chilly, but not very chilly at night."

That's helpful information to be sure, but not helpful enough, to say the least, for the highly anticipated follow-up to one of the original Xbox's best-selling titles. Now, Molyneux may have dropped one more hint as to when the world of Fable 2 will open for occupancy, this time not the least bit circumlocutory. Spotted by the gaming-obsessed souls that call the NeoGAF message boards home, the opening scene of the sixth Fable 2 developer diary gives a not-so-subtle hint that the game will appear on Microsoft's platform in October.

No demo for Fable 2, says Molyneux

360 News from N4G | Fable 2

360 - Fable 2 - No demo for Fable 2, says Molyneux

Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux has told Eurogamer there will be no playable demo for Fable 2 - at least not if the decision is left to him.

Speaking at Microsoft's Spring Showcase event in San Francisco Molyneux said, "There's no plan for a demo at the moment. Demos are probably the trickiest and hardest things to design, because there are probably 60- or 70- odd features we introduce to the player, and it takes us about ten to 15 hours to introduce all those.

"Trying to squeeze some of those down into a demo is really hard, if not impossible," he observed. "So I would vote not to do a demo."
