*Looks at G4's hands-on Fable 2* there's no way that game is done.

Did anyone notice all the technical issues with Fable 2 on G4 when they did the hands-on demo?

Frame rate constantly fluttered.

Horrible monster animations and a.i. (ffs atleast 2 times a zombie just stood there and let them shoot at it)

Dog takes a while to finally realize "o hey, we're out of combat aren't we?"

Many combat animation problems.

I seriously hope that wasnt the final build of the game, as after rewinding and looking at it again, it definately doesn't look like a "finished" game.

I just hope I was nitpicking.

I didn't notice anything, probably because I love the way you can do the coop.

It's called optimizing? Maybe you should be familar with that term hermit. Like Beta's the whole overall game maybe done but not the small tweaks and polishes.

By game done, I think he means all the content is there. Now they have to just bug test the game.

They discussed amongst themselves right after the conference whether they believed the game was done. None of them believed it because there's no reason to release a finished game in 3 months when they could release it now, avoidining all the competition of games coming out closer to the holiday season. They thing it's almost done, but that there are probably some bugs. Note that that was all their speculation from before demoing the game.

He probably meant to say CONTENT complete, now they are just optimizing, otherwise I see no reason why they have to wait so many months to release.

If there is anyone worse than Sony at overhyping something it's him. I think this game has a bunch of crap that still needs to be figured out and by release it will be amazing

Just because they said it was finished doesn't mean it doesn't have bugs to polish out.

That is obviously what he meant, but of course people will take it out of context.

It is probably "done" in terms of content and overall layout. It still has bug testing and optimization to go through, I am sure, as it is not due until October. And it certainly has not been announced as having gone gold, lol. That said, the game itself is looking great to me.

Peter Molyneuxes games usually are solid. It just fail to live to expectation. Fable 2 will probably be the same, or it could be all that Mr. Molyneux said.

By "the game is finished" what he meant was that all the final content is in the game but now they have 3 months to bug hunt, optimise, and tidy everything up.

If it was completely done it would be releasing in a couple weeks but since its not releasing for a couple months it means there polishing the game for that time.

Well "the game is done" probably means that they're done making the content, not that its gone gold. For example, Gears of War 2 is done, but it still has some stuff to be worked out. In other words- all the features are done.

But anyway, what are you talking about? I didn't notice anything like that. Maybe it's because I was watching it on the tv? Or perhaps it's because I'm not a fanboy?

Right when Peter comes on stage he says "The game is done". And how does the fact that you didnt hear him make me a fanboy exactly?

But yea, after thinking this through, he probably meant to say the content is done, I just read his statement as it was.

Well duh there is still stuff to work on like bugs and stuff. Peter didn't say the game is gold or nothing, this reminds of Shoe's dumb comment on G4.

When a game is finished they mean the content just like Peter said. The next 2 month's will be dedicated to optimising the game as much as possible. I didn't see the demo since I don't have G4, but Im sure it wasn't that bad.

Judging by your sig, one would assume you would be more inclined to play a shooter than an RPG.
