IGN Fable 2 Combat info

Im not sure if this is new as Ive been gone a long time, but I happened to come across this on IGN today.

IGN: Fable 2 Preview

It looks pretty new and is a good read on the current combat system in Fable 2.

Edit: One button combat with an edge is what it sounds like, I like the concept of counter attacking the best.

Double edit: I just now realized what this article means. . .Fable 2 does infact have a playable demo!!!

Nice find, RuneMaster! Can't believe I missed this article on IGN! ^_^ +rep

The new combat system sounds awesome. I can't wait to check out the new counter-attack moves, too.

+rep for the find, Molyneux has a tall order to try and appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers at the same time with the same combat system but looks like he may pull it off. Im most impressed by the sound of the counters...

Counterattacks, which require some timing and (as Molyneux pointed out regarding my play) a little luck, offer some visual panache. Landing a counterattack (hitting an opponent just as they begin to swing at you) leads to brutal execution-style moves. The camera snaps to a dramatic angle, time slows for a few seconds, and our hero performs one of a variety of moves. In just ten minutes of combat, I witnessed more than a dozen different flourish moves. One had our hero slam a bandit against a brick wall with his forearm, breaking his neck, and then shoved his sword deep into his gut. Another was a simple backhand that actually looked utterly humiliating for the opponent.

That sounds really appealing to me.

Re: IGN Fable 2 Combat info

Counter attacking alone makes me quiver with excitement. I cant wait to chop my enemies to pieces and snap their bones like twigs:devil:. I hope you can also counter with magic, seeing as how I am a lover of magic. . .being the Rune Master and all:lol:.

I noticed he said guns AND Bows and Arrows so bows will definitely be making an appearance in the game (to those doubters out there).
