Fable 2 Development : Tokyo Game Show and Fable II

Tokyo Game Show and Fable II

Published Monday, October 06, 2008 5:37 AM by Sam

Yesterday (at least I think it was yesterday?), Peter and I got on a plane to Tokyo. We just checked into the hotel and I managed to get my internet to work. We're here for the Tokyo Game Show! If you are attending the show, come and check out the last build (the one that went gold) and get some serious hands-on time with the full game. Will keep you posted on anything interesting that happens, but first, I need coffee!

	Throwing8smokes said: The latest build? Awsome! I'm pretty sure we havn't seen any videos of the build that went gold! I can't wait to see the new videos (if there are any)! October 6, 2008 1:17 AM
	stu_fargher said: Forgive my ignorance Sam, but I was wondering how English-friendly the Tokyo Game Show is. I'm curious as to whether or not you and Peter would have translators with you, or if the general public in Tokyo is fluent in English or if the two of you are fluent in Japanese? Again, please forgive my ignorance but I'm interested in how the logistics of an event like that would play out. October 6, 2008 1:25 AM

	StrappedEnd said: yeah that would be kinda difficult not having some thing to bridge the language gap. i personally dont know if english is a fairly prominent language in Japan or not. oh and sam luck man!! i cant wait til the 7th when G4 has a WHOLE half hour show devoted to Fable 2. if only i had TiVo i could record it and watch it over and over in quality lol.

	ASCENSI0N said: You know its really disapointing seeing the collectors edition being cut like this. I mean within 3 weeks of realease, common. At least give me the damn tin can. I feel almost as robbed as when I went to gamestop and bought pre-ordered bioshock and somehow they where out of the figurine. Sure releasing the music, and pdf of the cards is cool, but give those of us who have been loyal fans all this time something special. Anyone can get the music or the cards now, even people who dont buy the game. It just makes it that much harder to defend MS or you guys on the streets when things like this happen, because I know you guys have intentions, but Peter how much do you expect of the fans? Fable 1 was a harsh blow, but now this to those of us who stuck with you? I hope this type of build up of hype, only to be followed by dissapointment isnt indicative of fable 2, which untill now I have boycotted the media because I didnt want anything to be spoiled. -mike October 6, 2008 4:04 AM

	TwilightBlade said: To "Ascension": Please shut up. If your loyalty is based on small, shiny, material whathaveyous, then please stop commenting on these forums. Go whine about your misgivings to your friends and family; here we are a community that supports lionhead, and for more than just "the damn tin can". You shame us all sir. October 6, 2008 7:52 PM
	Kimpel said: To all those wondering; In most school's in japan children are taught english, but here in america we arent taught japanese...its like a one sided thing because america was the first ones to get them to open up trade, and for a long time that is who they traded with. though it has alot of other things to do with it, needless to say, unless they are old, they prolly know english in japan October 6, 2008 10:08 PM

	EnragedTadpole said: Man! You guys have to have to come have a Fable Convention down here in Australia! We're missing out Also, have some fun in Tokyo. October 7, 2008 4:16 AM
	Darcstarr said: Kimpel, I'm pretty sure the Dutch and Spanish traded with Japan long before America. You'll probably find that English is taught in most Japanese schools because of American occupation post-WW2. Either that or it's because English is such a common language along with French.
