[QUOTE="RobbieH1234"][QUOTE="saolin323"][QUOTE="RobbieH1234"][QUOTE="saolin323"] Of course, any next gen game is better, unless you like to go back to pac man

So going by that logic that would make Oblivion better than Fallout, BioShock better than System Shock 2 and Deus Ex, Command and Conquer 3 better than StarCraft, correct?Let's close this site then, all gaming sites, and stop buying games, those games of 10 years old can not possibly be surpassed by anything, right ?
hahahahah, please stop, do you honestly play only those games, and have never bought a recent one ?
And if you have, you never had as much fun after those titles were over ?
Do you know how STUPID what you suggest seems ?
Mr. Pot, meet Mr. Kettle.Anywho, the only thing and I mean the only thing that current gen games have over the games I listed are the visuals. That is it. I played Fallout for the first time in November 2006, Deus Ex in June 2007 and StarCraft (properly) in August 2007. Fallout blew Oblivion away, Deus Ex was vastly superior to BioShock and StarCraft is still the best RTS ever made. Better graphics does not make Oblivion a better RPG than Fallout, nor does better graphics make BioShock better than Deus Ex.
No, Fable 2 has FAR more than visuals, sorry but you keep going about Fallout etc, games that are not even 3D, how is a world supposed to get you immersed in it, when it is 2D ?
The days of 2D games is long past, i am 1000x more immersed in games like Oblivon and Fable than those old titles, and immersion in a world is a major part of RPG gaming
Tell me now, does Fallout have
- huge towns, with hundreds of interacting NPC's, that go about business and can be influnced by the hero ?
- small villages that will turn to huge towns as years pass by ? And you can INFLUENCE their growth and look on top !!!!
- the option to have a family and home, kids, and feel like part of the world ?
- huge forests full of secrets, with the sun beams and shadows playing as the sun moves ?
- a AI follower, that actually thinks, helps you, is 100% aware of any dynamic thing going on around you !! liek the dog in Fable 2, that will react differently on each situation ?
- maybe you can buy whole towns and become mayor, or whole regions and become king in Fallout, with EVERYONE interacting differently to you depending on your status ?
- how is the old gen 2D combat in Fallout compared to full spectacular 100% real time combat in Fable 2 exactly ? With a system that changes combat moves and enemie thinking depending on the surroundings too ??
- Maybe maybe Fallout has jobs you can get, can you run shops and bring back loot to sell rom creatures you have killed ?
How ON EARTH is Fable 2 just about the graphics ? It totally anihhilates Fallout in gameplay, Fallout seems like having no gameplay at all comparing TBH
BTW that is a SMALL FRACTION of gameplay features in Fable 2, i did not even touch the seasons changing, the co-op, the dynamic day/night changes, that affect NPC's too etc etc etc
How does it totally annihilate it in gameplay, when you've never PLAYED THE GAME! Plus some of the gameplay features you list aren't very exciting. Throwing bottles and playing fetch with a dog. Yippee-kay-yah!:roll: Go outside and smash a bottle, it's way better than doing it in games! Or go walk a real dog. Having a family in Fable might be ok fun for a while, but honestly the sims ain't that great. Man oh man, the game will be awesome fun I'm sure (its my most anticipated 360 game), but it does not look to have many gameplay revolutions which haven't been done before in one way or another.
Honestly much of what you listed are entertaining gimmicks, which will be fun for a while and then will be forgotten. If the game truely nails the evolving, changing world and character aspects, then yes it might have something to boast about, but really I doubt it will nail it perfectly or even near perfectly. This game will be excellent hopefully and will be really fun and enjoyable, but I doubt it brings a completely renewed, innovative and progressive face to the rpg scene. It will rehash, with lots of polish, game features that have been done before and will probably add a few smaller innovations.
