Lionhead and Microsoft just released the latest episode of their Fable 2 developer diaries series, "Inside Lionhead". I haven't seen it yet but these videos are always a pleasure to watch, very interesting and nicely done.

Nothing wrong with that as both of those games had phenomenal soundtracks.

Ok, now I'm excited because he said about not being evil just by the way you look, but also the social context to the main character. The villagers and creatures look great, still the concept art looks cooler than the in-game models. We'll see, I loved the 1st Fable but it was limited in some aspects of character building. Chickenhat+boots+stupid costume combination FTW!

Whats up with the MP4 being more than 3 times smaller than the WMV?

Yeah right... better ok, but not 3 times. Usually the MP4 is about the same size as the WMV. And I have seen many times the MP4 was somehow faulty like in resolutions of 5000x720. I usually prefere h264 to wmv, but on this site I don't think it gets encoded somehow sloppy...

Definitely.
Kameo had amazing OST, very epic.
Fable had greta tracks as well, some of it anyways.

But I don't think they have worked out the main theme for Fable 2 yet, and considering that Fable's main theme is pretty much famous among Fable players they used it in this video.

Anyway, can't wait to get it, loved the first one.

The only time I've heard any new music for Fable 2 was the other day. There's a video which showcases some new characters. Anyway the music in it was fantastic.

I think they'll be remixing some of the memorable tunes from Fable1, to which I have no problem with because the soundtrack is top notch.
I think they'll keep the main theme primarily because it is quite memorable to existing Fable players and it probably cost them quite a bit to get, so they want to put it to good use.

Around 3:30 and 3:54.. the visuals are just stunning. Beautiful vistas.

Chances are the main theme for Fable 2 will be the main theme from Fable. It was made by Danny freaking Elfman and is too popular to not use again.

Found it. It was on IGN. There's a written interview with Dene Carter there as well.

All of the music there was from the first one. I'm sure they'll have new tunes in the second, once they're ready to show off more of the game.

Oh, and did that confirm October as the release date?

Looks like October might be it, and it also gives them the chnace to back out, since it will just be speculation on our part.

I don't liek the concept artists. Or atleast, I cans ee the input he ahd, and it's way too caricatured for my liking. Other than that, still seems like a great game.

Only otehr game that morphed charcters was Shadow of the Colossus. And that was awesome. I think they took a lot of inspiration from SotC already with the dog. But the dog feels a bit too gimmicky for my liking.

To each his own and all that, but it shocks me that you don't like the concept art!

As you can tell I'm in favour of the stylised art direction :P

lol looks a bit dodgy to be a video game peripheral :P

Anyway the weird thing about that shot in the video is not what he's holding, but what's going on just above his desk.. take a look. :D
