Full tan and free cocktails, okay, but enough is enough. No need to get sick of it. That's why I took the time to make a little Gamersyde Diaries on The Bourne Conspiracy while at the Sierra Spring Break '08.

Actually Fable 2 is cutting edge technically, textures are great, polygon counts is through the roof, has the best looking forests i have seen this generation too
Also there is nothing technically not impressive about dynamic shadowed light beams, stunningly modelled and detailed trees and foliage, 50+ NPC's on screen all self shadowed, houses without a loading time like Oblivion etc
It is a artistic and technical marvel actually

but then that doesnt matter when artistically it looks so great. art style can make up for technical shortcomings. so its all good

no, it is disappointing graphically in screen shots for sure.. some are even compairable to fable 1 screens. In motion though it looks alot better, theres a sense that the world is alive..and it has a nice tim burton art design to it. One thing that i personaly believe distracts is the last generation level of fog that follows you around.. i dont see how thats acceptable these days, and maybe a sign that instead of building their own engine and wasting a few years they should of stuck with the unreal 3 one as originally planned. Not saying we would of had the game sooner.. but we would of definatly had a working co-op on the disc.

I really do not see how
- dynamic shadowed light beams
- shaders everywhere
- translucency in tree leaves
- shadows from every single leaf on every other
- 50+ NPC's on screen self shadowed
- huge landscapes fulled with detailed trees, forests, cities and houses with no loading
.. is not considered technically impressive
Actually Fable 2 is one of the most technically impressive games this gen, they just forcus on other things than best textures, and that is exactly what makes the art look so sweet

These images suck, i can say,
gameplay videos look much better, atleast in country side,
the town also doesn`t look impressive...

I'm with KORNdog on this one. Artistically, the game looks phenomenal, and I think it's going to looks TONS better on a nice hdtv and in motion. Technically, however,... it really doesn't look like it can hold a candle to Gears 2, KZ2, or RE5.
That said, it's going to be one of the few SP games I actually pick up because if it's anything like the first, I know I'll enjoy it tons.

Do you look at a painting based on how many paint-molecules there are, or based on the actual artwork?
Do you listen to music because of how many vibrating atoms are generated in your room, or because of the art in the song itself?
Do you read a book based on how many words there are, or based on how the story is?
Nuff said, i think i made my point :)
Technical stuff is pointless. Its the artistic style that matters, and its all that matters.
Look at the old over-used-in-comparisons WoW, it has craptacularly low-res textures and low-poly models, yet some enviroments look truly amazing, artistically.
Obviously newer gen games are gonna look nicer than old-gen games, due to better technology etc. Such as softer lighting, softer grass and trees, less flat shaders and stuff.
But comparing current-gen to current-gen tech is pointless. Its what they do with the tech that matters.
I'd rather look at Fable 2 than Crysis, which is a technical marvel, but still looks like shit. Its like comparing a painting with a blueprint. Blueprints have no soul.
