Molyneux should quit Fable 2 and make the next Syndicate.

So what if Fable under delivered? It was a great game, and if you missed out on it because you were so mad about him and all of his promises he fell short of, then i feel sorry for you. The first was a great game, and I'm sure the second will be a great game.He has learned from his mistakes and I am confident he will not repeat them.

Wait, how do I missed out on a game that I played?  A game that was missing tons, 10 hours to finish.  It was not worth my money and the sandbox mechanics isn't that great.

I loved syndicate, so that would be cool if he made a new one... hopefully our operatives would get pet dogs to help them out.

Or maybe you haven't played Syndicate and you're not a part of the "in crowd" that knows Syndicate's greatness.

I'm sorry, I only cater to great people.

This is not about if I played a game, and I like how you resorted to childish banter to respond to me. Fable was good enough to merit a second title. heck it sold over a mill copies. Just cause  you consider yourself to be great doesnt make it so. Greatness is written in history, and I aint seen a page on you yet.

Uh have you seen what you wrote?  I make horrible threads?  How is that related to the topic at all?

Anyone who played Syndicate is considered great in this thread because not play Syndicate and not having that fact that Syndicate is so awesome makes you ignorant in the way that you have no comparison.

have you read what you wrote? And I dont need to play a game to relize Ive stumbled upon a stupid thread. My comparison is simple, He is making fable. it is a great game. Is syndicate? From the sound of it, yes. But does that mean fable 2 should get scrapped? Im sorry to have to tell you like this, but fable 2 is viewed as great to people also. your opinion is not the gospel, and it never will be. get over it and stop acting like your Shiet dont stink.

Fable is viewed as the biggest disappointment in history.  Won Gamespot dubious award for it.

It's a fact that it's a disappointment and tainted with much failure no matter how much lemmings try to savage its dignity.  And what has he got for Fable 2?  A nintendogs addon.

Now Syndicate was an extremely great IP of the past that should recieve the much needed upgrade.

Now that post would of been better for your first one. next, the dog is an added feature that you can use if you want. I never heard so much complaining about a feature you can choose to use. And if syndicate gets an upgrade? will you still cry wolf over fable 2? cause i think if judge a book by it's cover you'll miss alot of what's important. And just cause the first syndicate was great doesnt mean a follow up will be. And vice versa.

I'm not sure that past Fable 2 interviews would say the dog is an added feature.  Heck, all he does is talk about the dog.

That makes sense...abandon the Fable franchise (which Molyneax had the greatest success with at 2.60 million sold) for the next Syndicate...even though the 1st Syndicate didn't sell NEARLY AS WELL as Fable did!  But who cares about sales? :roll:

syndicate was waaaaay cooler than fable.  My Sister's left-handed orangautangue can beat Fable in 8 hours.THETRUEDOZAH

Syndicate may be cooler and better in every aspect...but Fable SOLD BETTER.  That is what matters most to developers, like it or not.

Fable is actually pretty good. But Syndicate is just utter awesomeness. I'm not sure how the game would handle the upgrade to current-gen consoles, but if they kept the feel and playing style of the original, that's good enough for me.

It won't happen though, unless Fable 2 somehow bombs like heck and sells very little. Which it probably won't.

Not sure about syndicate, but Fable was published by Microsoft and had a decent advertising campaign.  It's not really a fair comparison sales-wise, because Fable represented so much more.  An RPG on a system not known for them vs. a PC title in a time where PC was arguably the dominant platform meaning it saw many quality releases.  The sales comparisons are kind of moot, considering.

Syndicate sold over 500K, preety nice number. Not as much as Fable, but really.... Populus sold three times more than Fable, Theme Park sold over twice as much as Fable, Black and White also sold better than Fable. 

It's quite obvious MS priority aren;t sales with Lionhead, otherwise they would make Molyneux design another economic sim, instead of fable2. But I guess promoting a console takes precedence over that.

Same here.

Anyway, I can't wait for Fable 2, the first game was disappointing, but it was still great.

I'm not really sure why you talk about Syndicate's sales.  The game market was much smaller back then.  It's like saying how many Atari's are sold compared to PS2.
