One of the most promising video games Xbox 360 owners are waiting for is Fable 2, the sequel to a grand RPG that easily topped sales charts. The good news is, Lionhead Studios' still set on making it "the greatest game of all time." The bad news? It's nowhere near finished.

Well, the game being in the middle of development isn't something to frown about. So far, we've seen from previous videos and concept art that Fable 2 looks breathtaking; a blog post on Lionhead's community site says that "the game will look at least a gazillion times better than anything you've seen."

We're talking "uber-detailed" textures here, and up to 50 character models on screen with dynamic shadows. Following the first installment, day and night cycles will be implemented and manifested through realistic lighting on expansive outdoor locations.

Another promise coming from the devs is that "Fable 2 is graphically going to be a masterpiece." One Italian dev from their team even went as far as saying the game will kick BioShock's water effects.

On the positive side of things, development is already on "fleshing out the final bits." This is expected to take a while, but it's hard to complain if the final product will be chiseled to perfection. Expect Fable 2 on shelves sometime next year.

Why would they dare call it the greatest game ever? Haven't they learned from the first time?

It doesn't mantter what we hype the game. Lemmings don't get to create their own hype. Sheep and Cows create all the hype for 360 games by filling the board with threads bashing them. Then everyone assumes those are our "AAA" games....

The "onem" was a typo. I'm sure you can figure what I meant especially since I edited my post to get rid of it....

It was decent but I wouldn't hype Fable 2 to be AAAA. That'sone of the stupidest things a person can do at this point.

Greatest game ever? Not a chance in hell. It won't even be the best game next year. If Fable 2 is to be the best game ever, then it'd have to be the best RPG ever. So why are they hyping the least important aspect of an RPG, the graphics? Surely they should be talking about choices, or consequences, or amazing dialogue, or the story, or character development, or character creation. Right?

A bigger team and more funding doesn't mean **** if they keep making impossible promises like this. They also have some utterly ridiculous gameplay ideas, like being "scarred" instead of actually dying, and that over-hyped dog which is said to be "the most realistic animal ever featured in a videogame" (honestly, a random chicken in Crysis has better AI and much more realistic behavior).

Why do they have to set everyones hopes skyhigh, and then shoot them down when the actual game is nowhere near what they promised, all I want is a good game, not some epic end all games, Lionhead your digging a hole you can't get out of...AGAIN.

You kinda have to take PM and the rest of Lionhead with a grain of salt. The game looks promising though.

Second, they didn't say it's going to be the best game ever. They're just aiming for it.

I don't get why some of you are complaining. I like how Lionhead Studios have set such high goals for themselves. I don't know about you but I'd rather they set out to make the greatest game ever, rather than the not-greatest-but-still-decent-est game ever.
