Guns...Will they kill it?

Re: Guns...Will they kill it?

In my opinion, taking risks and exploring new frontiers in games are the only ways to make any progress. I think guns will be a welcome addition to Fable 2, showing that its creators can handle something a little out of the box as far as their particular style is concerned.
 
Re: Guns...Will they kill it?

I don't think that even if you had the option of dual wielding pistols you wouldn't want to since you won't look very bad*** with dual musket-like pistols. Unless your going for the "ye olde Dante" style.
 
Re: Guns...Will they kill it?

Screw what I look like. If you have two you can shoot faster and hit harder, since you can hit twice...

And, technically speaking, I don't think there's any such thing as musket pistols... I just don't remember the definition of "musket" and I DO NOT WANT TO START ANOTHER ARGUMENT/"DISCUSSION"/DISAGREEMENT... so I don't know why I said that.

Feel free to ignore the second paragraph.
 
Re: Guns...Will they kill it?

i just hope the guns don't fire as fast as they did in the demonstration videos. I mean you have to fill up with powder and load the ball. I just think it would be so awesome if you could carry around powder horns and musket balls.
 
Re: Guns...Will they kill it?

What I meant by musket-like pistols is they way they look, I wasn't sure how to describe it.

And you'll probably have to load with powder and all that since it keeps it realistic. It'll take its place as the strongest-but-slowest ranged weapon.

There no proof of that, quite the opposite in fact. Remember the gameplay video when Peter showcased the dog? He fought some Hobbes by shooting at them, and he didn't have to reload. Was like 1 second between shots if I remember correctly.
 
Re: Guns...Will they kill it?

But that would have been some make up demo created for the presentation and wasn't bothered with every detail, just the suitable. But it would add realism in a way I mentioned last post. It would be the strongest to hit, but also the longest to fire and load, makes sense don't you think?
 
Re: Guns...Will they kill it?

I personally hope that we can have dual wielding pistols, with different kinds, and most of all I hope ye can hit with em. Like if some hobbe or something had an axe in its hand an was right next to me, I could hit it a few times then back up and start shootin... although I guess it would be simpler to keep it the way it is already and just change to melee weapon... Anyway I also hope that ye can dual wield like katanas or rapeiars or whatever they are called, you can have like a regular sword which ye can only have 1 of at a time or two at a time smaller swords or daggers even... Thats another thing, I really hope that ye can throw daggers... A lot to think about... hmm..

Not an entirely out of reach concept. Lionhead Studios is known for their work and I have yet to see a bad piece by them. I agree with everything your saying although it does sound likes its dipping a bit into the ways of Oblivion, thats fine.

In regards to the gun conversation, nothing is confirmed as of yet. The trailer doesn't prove anything. I've seen alot of different concepts in trailers about games that I don't see in the games or vice versa, they added onto it.
 
Re: Guns...Will they kill it?

Ya I guess I kinda was going into Oblivion... Awesome Game it is! Anyway another concept that I think would be awesome for Fable 2 would be, I know it was already talked about that it would be cool if it was more of a free roam kinda like oblivion... again back to oblivion...:P
Anyway if it was more of a free roam like Oblivion I think it would be cool to hav e on fable 2 like so ye could... dang... I was thinking a thieves guild... but thats on Oblivion too... Dam Ye Oblivion Yer Too Good... anyway I had some wierd dream about Fable 2 the other day and I was a Fable hero but I was fighting on rooftops with my sword against some bandit guy, then after I killed him more bandits started jumping through windows onto the roofs, shooting arrows at me, and they were like climbing walls ( they were climbing walls like they jumped off of the side of a building and back and forth till they got too top) like the matrix or some chinese kung fu movie I guess, anyway when I was outnumbered... I did the only manly awesome smart thing a cool guy could do... I ran.. I ran to the docks and got on a ship... which of course I had to pay a Pirate Captain to let me on...then I woke up... and ran to me computer to play Fable...:D

Well kind of a wierd dream... guess I've been looking at Fable Forums and Fable2 stuff too much lately... Anyway thanks for listening!^_^

Yes, in real life. But this is Fable. Oh, also, I "think" he mentioned that combat and all that was nearly done, they were now working on things like the world, at the time of the demonstration, so I think we can pretty much assume that is how the guns will work... atleast the blunderbuss rifle he used.
 
Re: Guns...Will they kill it?

In this case I most definitely do not want realism. For gameplay, I don't want to have to spend an eternity reloading.

Oh come now i'm sure an axe weilding hero like yourself isn't afraid of a little reloading. i love the fact of realism I think that if artist included more realism in there games they would score a lot higher on a scale of 1-10.
 
Re: Guns...Will they kill it?

Reloading a musket is difficult slow, and dangerous. Watch the Last Samurai and you'll get the picture. I'd like an older style rifle, have a four bullet capacity, and do the whole sniper reload idea. if someone can find a vid i'll be impressed (+rep opportunity if you have the idea and get the right vid.)
 
Re: Guns...Will they kill it?

All I have to say is adding a reload like that is just stupid AND we've seen on the gameplay video that no such reload exists....
 
Re: Guns...Will they kill it?

I just hope that you can still have a bow if you want.

I would like to think so. I think he only used the gun in the demo because the gun is one of the "new things" of Fable II, whilst bows were in Fable.
 
Re: Guns...Will they kill it?

Opportunity for a longbow'd be nice, yeah. They fired faster than firearms for quite some time.

And yeah, Adam, I like axes-- but when I can blast the guy fifty feet away into oblivion without any risk to myself I'm much happier.
