    I'm trying to forget I saw this trailer so that I still want to play the game.

      I agree. Pretty bad trailer. I'm stoked to buy this game, and this trailer just brought my excitement level down a few notches.

      Really? This just makes me mad I don't have a 360 and can't afford one.

      if you didn't like that trailer, you'll probably be disappointed by the game and shouldn't buy it. it looks like fable 2 should look.

        Agree, it looks exactly like a Fable game should, I'm even more stoked now than ever.

          To clarify, I'm not worried about the graphics or having the story ruined. The narrator's script was just so lame. I realize there's a lot of tongue-in-cheek stuff and the game doesn't take itself completely seriously, but I'm pretty sure the game could've been presented a lot better.

            What? You want plot spoilers?! The best part about a Fable game is that you can play it anyway you want, choosing light or dark. That's what makes it unique, that what they are trying to sell you on in this trailer. Fable has never been about combat (Although the pistols looked fun, swashbuckling and pulling out a pistol is so cool!)

              I don't think the trailer sells that very well. It just shows the different looks your character can have, rather than the effect your actions (as one of those characters) will have on the game world.

              I think the previous 'live action' trailer was better done, in that it better communicated the gravity of the moral choices you'll (hopefully) be making, even though it didn't show any gameplay.
