Video: Fable 2 ad asks us to choose our destiny

In the wake of Fable 2's impending release, Microsoft and Lionhead Studios just launched a new Fable 2 Destiny advertisement which is, well ... good.
The new ad doesn't push Fable 2's visuals, gameplay or even the friendly little pooch that's always by your side. Instead, their latest ad centers in on the hero you become and the choices you makes that determine what you'll become. Evil, good, clean, dirty, tattooed or on fire, it's your choice. It's a great ad and we're totally loving the flickering candle effect.

great advert! looking forward to this game. I love the womens voice at the end, I can't remember her name, but she's from 'My Family' on BBC1, they have the same last name as me. I win!

Did I miss something? Wasn't there supposed to be a new "Alan Wake" trailer? I thought there was news we'd get a new trailer on 10/15? What happened?

Video recording in movie theaters, no matter which country is illegal.

Thanks. *Goes back to watching the same, almost 3-year-old trailer*

Gawd... what to pick? Does one get Dead Space or wait for Fable II, does one hold thy breath for GoW 2, or Fallout 3?
Decisions, decisions.

Im buying Fable 2 and Gears 2 because I played both titles before and liked them, I'm Gameflyiing Dead space because it's a new IP and I haven't played Fallout 3 ever before.

Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2, for me. I'll get GeoW2 later.

Only Fable II, for me.
Dead Space and Fallout 3 for PC, since they involve aiming with presumably some degree of precision.
GoW2 is a rental, unless you're really big on multiplayer gaming. But if you're willing to play GoW online, then you're probably happy to play Dead Space and Fallout 3 with the rofluseless analog sticks.

I think they're underestimating the popularity of Fable, it sold well on Xbox but it's not exactly a well known title, atleast not in the USA. That's an awesome trailer though.

OVERestimating*

Dude I so am going to get the guy who is on fire, that looks BA!

Fable sold millions of copies and was the fastest selling Xbox game ever at the time. I think it's safe to say this one isn't being ignored either.
I saw this at the theater actually. They played it before Quarantined.

Also, all I can think about is South Park when I watch this.

I can't wait for this game. I've actually cut myself off from any further coverage (don't really want to know EVERYTHING about the game before it comes out) but I had to watch the this trailer anyway. (Amazing!)

love the ad, and the accent, although the last few shots of fable footage cheapen the effect a little, I feel.
