Normal stuff really. Dev releasing new game says last game wasn't as good as he would have liked but has learned from mistakes and community.

Good news on the follow up's though.

Yeah, it's not the first time Peter "realizes" his mistakes. He's played this card before and we fell for it the last time, most of us anyway. I will not reserve any judgement concerning this man, however, He's not the only one behind this project so there is still hope for a really good game.

Its ok Peter I forgive u. I mean u will never be a Kojima but I will always give a dev a chance to redeem themselves. And Fable 2 is looking pretty good this time around especially the attacks and with the dog as your partner, I think there will be alot of emtional parts in this game aswell. Should be better this time around, hopefully (crossing my fingers).

Well, the whole reason so many in the forums were upset was because the finished product came nowhere close to the game he was hyping. Molyneux promised a full interactive world with Fable and delivered a very simplistic game. A game that suddenly ends way too early and feels like the real ending got cut off.

One thing about Fable is that it scored an 8.6. It wasn't as bad as you make it sound. Fable 2 has some pretty good elements in the game that makes it attracting. You can co-op on boss fights anytime you want. The worlds are much bigger. Who wouldn't want to betray a dog? I wouldn't but I'll experiment with it. You can buy practically ANY house/castle. Could have a family. It's pretty good looking if you ask me.

Cows praise Guerilla Games because Killzone 2 has good graphics. They look at the Multiplayer and says it looks good. But in the videos of the multiplayer, they show no essential elements that provide an appeal to the MP but just make it look generic.

It's not the fact that he admitted his mistakes. It's the fact that he listened to the fans and tried his hardest to apply them in the sequel. ANY dev who looks at their fans and shows the fans that they've been paying attention to their ideas by implementing them into the sequel is a great dev in their own right.

People should had learned by now that everything a dev or a publisher says before their game launches has to be taken with a grain of salt. Fable was a great game and I'm sure Fable 2 will be as well, as long as it doesn't try to be the next Oblivion. But with sequels it's common practice to tell how they've learned from their mistakes and improved the game thanks to community feedback blaa blaa blaa. In from one ear, out of the other is my advice.

Apparently you've forgotten the massive hype Peter drummed up for Black and White 2 and the Movies.

Peter is a master of hype, Fable 1 was not an isolated incident.

one of the most commonly used marketing ploys there is.

"yeah we missed the mark first time, BUT THE NEW GAME IS SOO MUCH BETTER AND WE REALLY LEARNED OUR LESSON!!"

(2 years later before Fable 3)

"yeah we missed the mark on 2, BUT 3 IS SUPER DUPER AMAZING"

this game will be boring like the first

No... I remember some article about some guy sending Peter a death threat for not allowing him to plant walnut trees like he promised. IIRC.
