Lionhead has announced that Fable 2 is to ship without online co-op, with a patch coming later on.

Surprised? not at all.

Curious? Very much so.

Thta's another one i am looking forward. As I am not the "multi player" gamer type, it's ok for me

Can't wait, this and Fallout 3 are the two games I really want this winter.

*siiiiiighhh*
What a disappointment.

its not so bad, anyone that wants co op is on xbox live and will get the update

its fairer to finish any off line content before its ships for any1 without live and add co cp a few weeks later for anyone that has the 360 connected and can get the update

Fable 2 is a game I'm looking forward to playing.

I can't wait. I could care less about OL co-op since I don't play on line anyways.

Heh, like when they made Black and White 2.. no multiplayer. "We will probably patch it in" right.

beat me to it. Of course B&W 2 was a huge dissapointment on so many levels. I'm sure that fable 2 will be a different story...

Buzzons · 29th Sep 2008, 23:44

It actually may make me get a 360... finally

I loved the first game and the second can't be worse.. (and even if it is it will have to try damn hard to be bad to be anything but fun.)

On that kind of note.. i finally finished the original bar one task -- can't win one pub game! *grr*

The first one was awesome, this one should be amazing. Peter Molyneux always strikes me a person desperate to achieve excellence.

Anybody remember the hype of B.C.? Hopefully we will see it one day, pushing the concept boundaries of gaming is bringing RPG's closer and closer to complete immersion, and I cant wait to get immersed with Fable 2.

I am really looking forward to Fable 2, looks like the game Fable should have been (and I still really enjoyed Fable).

I really don't think MS will let them not patch in online co-op

naokaji · 1st Oct 2008, 13:42

haha, go go patches for console games

Sorry coudnt resist, way to destroy one of the main advantages they had (games that work out of the box).

Sucks to see this happen, sure its not as bad as the witcher that was released half way through development, but seriously, why cant they just release a game as it should be instead of patching later?
