I'm really anxious for this game to come out. Along with Thief 3, this is my most anticipated game. I loved the first one and I can't wait to play the 2nd. Does anyone know when it's coming out?
 
Wow I didn't even know they were making a B&W 2. Any links on hand? I'll go google in the meantime ;)

That is exciting news though.
 
I was watching some really old interview with Peter M (I foget his last name), and he was talking about it, keep in mind this interview was prolly recorderd right after B&W came out (cause he was still referring to fable as project ego). Speaking of Fable, I'm sure that is the top priority of their developing studio at the moment, and considering how highly anticipated fable is (in comparison to B&W2) im sure it will be a resonable wait before B&W2 hits the shelves.

As for what its about, I rmember in the interview he was talking about how the god (the hand) left for like 100 years after the end of the 1st game, and he left his creture in control but the humans started some big war and you have to choose whether to try and end the war or if you want to keep it going. Sounds interesting, but this was from a really old interview, so things might be completly different.

Fable is being made by bigblue box studios, peter is just like a sideline guy/helping them out.

Peter has a knack for hyping t he hell out of a game and then letting everyone down , like fable's going to do, since:

Not everyone ages anymore, just you and main people.
no more "open" place to explore, it' smore like KOTOR now.
No more morphing depending on how you play, now there's "lv's" and things (which peter said he didn't like....)

It's like he tells us what we'd like in a game, builds up the hype, and then take it all away.

I Think peter should stick with a new dungeon keeper game, at least those were good.
 
I don't know...B&W was probably the single most disappointing game to me of all times. It had a great premise, but was riddled with bugs and just felt empty. And you had to sit through a 20 minute tutorial every time you started a new game with no way of skipping it...and with the frequency that my game was corrupted and I had to restart, that tutorial drove me nuts.

I never tried it but I think that the first patch that was released came with an option to skip the introduction. But I agree with you that intro was WELL to long.

My problem was that I didn´t have the time to really train my creature into a 3 story monster that are on all screenshots of the game. Anyone knows a shortcut? ;) Should be real fun playing the game again with a large and smart creature, not the small stupid one I was stuck with. :D
 
They are aiming for Winter AFAIK.

It's looking good, hopefully the game B+W should have been and ya if you could skip the tutorial I might not have to slap the shit out of my creature in frustration.

yeah the patch lets you skip the tutorial......after you've beaten the game already.

The way I got my creatures big was just by downloading those trainer maps you can find online, and just leave your creature on it for a few days. He'll definitely grow then. I never did finish the game though. I got to World 4 (there's 5) once, but my IBM Deathstar decided to, well, die on me. I've had to restart the game several times, and that long tutorial just sort of put me off from the game.
 
I'm excited about the release of this game as well, i enjoyed the first one even though i only made it to level 4 then i had to format my computer for some reason. i never got back into it either, my creature never got as big as the screen shots either and he was making really mad here and there. Heh, i even have the expansion pack that i bought like 2 years ago with the game, i installed it and then never played it, lol. Anyway i think i need to reinstall it, and see if i can beat that 4th level. The last time i saw the screens for Black & White 2, they looked promising so hopefully the game will be too.
