X-Brick owners REJOICE!

Oh. My. Christ. In. Heaven.

I knew fable was coming out, but i hadn't as yet seen trailers...
2004 will be a GREAT year for console gamers! Halo2 AND Fable...Ph34r us, SONY! MUAAAHHHAHHAHAHA!!

The website for Fable is a hoot. Everyone should visit once.

http://www.fablegame.com/

Please, please, please let it come to PC too. Or else I shall despise Lionhead for the rest of my days.

For me, it would just be another strike against them, after the whole "Black and White is essentially a sequel to Populous" BS.

Still, Fable looks quite interesting, and depending on reviews I might even consider buying an X-box (and an S-controller) to get it and those two or three other good games on X-box so far.

Indeed, Fable and BC (the other game by Moleneux's studios) look quite good. I am also looking forward to Sudeki which looks like Final Fantasy for the Xbox.

Hey, the fable site WAS cool! I highly recommend you all visit and kill some time there!!!

Interesting. I couldn't get the movie to play, but the website showed a game with some serious promise.

A pity it's for the X-Box though. That means I'm not going to get it any time soon at all, and by that point the net will be swarming with spoilers.

They had better port this bad mamajama to pc. Looks fun as B&W.

It seems a bit....ambitious, though....Most, if not all XBrick games are one disk....i don't see how all that shit is going to fit...
I don't know if it's a proprietary thing or if its just because it's in DVD format and they just haven't made a game big enough yet...I hope it's multiple disks. ol' Petey should spare no expense on this game...it has amazing potential, IMHO (And it looks as if a keyboard/mouse interface won't be necessary or that a controller-based scheme would fuck up the game any! )

Game data is smaller than you'd think.

Oh no, now the X-Box will have three good games to rival the PS2...

Please. I had a PS2, bought an XBox, got spoiled on the graphics and sound, then I went and bought kingdom hearts (2?) for PS2, played it and nearly gagged. I couldn't take the shitty (Relatively shitty, of course) graphics anymore. Yes, I love a good-looking game. Time for a PS3, IMHO.

I guess i'm a Tim Taylor kinda guy, More POWER! to wit:
PS2
CPU: 128 Bit "Emotion Engine"
System Clock: 300 MHz
System Memory: 32 MB Direct Rambus
Memory Bus Bandwidth: 3.2 GB per second
Co-Processor: FPU (Floating Point Multiply Accumulator x 1, Floating Point Divider x 1)
Vector Units: VU0 and VU1 (Floating Point Multiply Accumulator x 9, Floating Point Divider x 1)

Media/Data Storage:
4x DVD-ROM.
8 GB hard disk drive.

What does this mean to me?
Well, with my narrow neanderthal-esque field of vision I saw
(733Mhz). vs. 300 MHz
64MB RAM. vs. 32 MB Direct Rambus
built-in hi-speed internet connectivity vs. not.
4 controller ports vs. not.
8GB HD vs. not.
small library of shitty games (1 good one) vs. huge library of many games I really like.
I could go on...but that would count as fucking spam, I think...but you get the picture. I just really love my xbox and all it's eccentricities.

Oh...your post was a joke?
Eek...sorry...I guess being on this board is making me a bit paranoid! I find i'm often on the defensive when professing my views about something...sorry!

Well, truth be told that I prefer the PS2 system and titles. But truth also be told I'm not that much of a gamer.

Just FYI, when someone uses , , or , it usually means that they're joking.

Gotcha!

Ah, Fable... if only they would hurry up and actually finish it...
