Fable 2 announcement coming next week

360 News | Cryptic blog post promises it will be big.

Lionhead is apparently planning a big announcement next week regarding the recently released Fable 2 on the Xbox 360.

The news comes from a company blog post, where, of course, no further information was given. Oh Lionhead, you tease.

"Normally, we don't like to tease too much. You know, all this hype being generated by teasing the announcement that there will be an announcement in X-number of days. Who cares?" said the blog post, before going on to immediately tease fans.

"But in this day and age where a gazillion titles are asking for your attention, I felt it might be the right thing to do on the blog. We've got some news for all Fable 2 fans next week, dare I even say it's quite a big announcement? Yes of course I dare say it's a big announcement regarding Fable 2, next week!"

We would imagine the announcement will reveal plans about some future downloadable content, but a nice big patch fixing up some of the game's bugs would be even better.

The bugs in the game are what is currently holding me out on buying this. If they're announcing a patch date I'll be getting it

It's going to be a decent map... or if we are lucky a decent ending!

They wont be making a big announcement about a patch fixing bugs. It will be DLC.

I finished the game and didnt get what everyones complaining about bugwise.

Although I will agree the ending of the game is crap. Very average story.

Agreed on both points. I also hated the map (and loading times) as well as the fact i couldn't save my first character to multiple save files.

But apart from that, the game was alot of fun, and i got 35 bug-free hours of gameplay out of it (played through it twice). Yes i had a few graphical glitches but they were all minor, and never threatened quest or story progress. The only major issue i experienced was a silver keys problem, but that was mainly of the ending/destiny i chose, so it was entirely my fault (well i do blame Lionhead and their poor decision of only being able to save one character per file, and not being able to save to multiple files like EVERY OTHER GAME I'VE PLAYED!!).

Anyway, i'm looking forward to the announcement especially if it indeed relates to DLC.

haven't finished it yet, but otherwise agree.

some poor design choices (ie: the menu system, and the map) but so far the worst bug i've had was getting "stuck" on a rock. which just required me to walk around it.

So let me get this straight.
This is an anouncement, for an anouncement? Does that strike anyone else as well... retarded?

does anyone else remember, i think it was fable 2, may have been something else though, i forget. but there was a game and they anounced that they had dropped something from the game, some big feature everyone wanted or something, like the day before they went to start shipping or something, and said they were going to include it in dlc like the day after launch. *damn vague memory* i think this may be that. but i forget. lol

They said that for Online multiplayer with fable 2. It's allready in the game though. It's also balls.

It's not the first time MS has done something like this, I attended an event a few years ago held by MS which was to announce the launch day for the 360 in Australia. So they held an event to announce a date

I never encountered any bugs, and I finished the game twice. I always wonder what people are doing when these bugs happen. My friend is the only person who I've seen first hand encounter a bug with the game, and that was because he was killing guards over and over again, and eventually one became invincible and wouldn't die. All he did was kill more guards and the invincible guard turned back to normal and died.

Your so lucky I had about 6-8 freezes, Mainly when there was some extreme 5th level spells cast on multiple enemies the game just froze. I had one occassion where every NPC except the dog all stood frozen while i could still run around but couldn't draw a weapon or access start menu i ended up have to restart the quest because all saves were lost for the quest.
I also had a few frezes when loading my game it would freeze automatically meaning i had to restart the console.

I never had any game breaking bugs but I did have a few like the exclamation point next to clothing stays there permanently and my kid gut stuck a few times but that fixed itself after a while and the map was crap, oh wait, that's not a bug. I would still like them to fix these things up though before any DLC just in case next time I play it one of the bad ones happens to me.
And if it is DLC, then hopefully it's not just a new weapon pack because the stuff equipped in the game is pretty sweet so I wouldn't get too excited by it.
