The latest episode of the Fable 2 video diary is now available on Xbox Live Marketplace (we also have it embedded at the top of this post, courtesy of Gamersyde). The latest episode, as you might expect, focuses on the combat of Fable 2. As you may have read right here on X3F, Fable 2's combat is all pulled from single button presses. Every action performed is based on the context in which it is performed. So, having an enemy up against a wall will produce a different action than, say, sneaking up from behind. The episode also tells us a little bit about how the animators created the combat animations (hint: they played with swords). Fable 2 fans should definitely give the video a look.

For all his bravado, I think Molyneux's gonna get this one right. It should be interesting to see just how context sensitive the actions will be.

I would get it off XBLM ....BUT MY FUCKING XBOX 360 HAS BROKE......FOR THE 3rd time.
This was 1 day after getting it back from repair..... I have been waiting 3 days from a special claims agent who handled my last case.

Radiata Stories = Awesome Single Button Combat
Different weapons have different attacks. As you use the weapon more and more you learn new attacks. All attacks have points associated with them. All weapons have a max amount of points that can be assigned to them. You can arrange your attacks in any order you want. Certain attacks combo in certain orders.
Square did a great job on this system. It works great. Hopefully Fable 2 will do something similar.
