"Fable 2 is finished."

Wow, I didn't see that coming, let's release this thing! Actually, it's not getting released in the next couple of weeks but rest assured that Peter Molyneux stated himself that it will be out on store shelves in October. If that doesn't happen, don't blame us, blame him.

In the Press Conference, Peter also showed off the very impressive co-op over Live component within the game. In what is being referred to as "ambient orbs," your friends will show up as glowing orbs within your game. At any point you can run up to these orbs, touch them, and your friends will automatically be able to join your game. No lobbies, no party menus. Totally seamless, and definitely something we'd like to see in more titles.

The animations look pretty great, and the character designs look better than the ogres inhabiting the land in the first Fable. Personally, I wasn't that excited about Fable 2 before today, but with the promise of a great co-op mode. I'm down.

Oh! Did we also mention that there's a dog in the game? Because Molyneux can't seem to stop talking about the damn thing.
