WTF? I've been waiting on this for a while. EBGames.com still doesn't have a date and Gamestop says "11/1/05".. but Gamespot says it shipped out yesterday!!

Fable for the Xbox was rereleased today as Fable: The Lost Chapters, and it's part of the $19.99 Platinum Hits collection.
Fable: The Lost Chapters
Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
Developer: Lionhead Studios
Genre: Action Role-Playing
Platform: XBOX
Release Date: Oct 18, 2005

What in the hell is going on? I know that MK: Deception got added to the Platinum Hits lineup, so maybe this week they launched a bunch of new platinum hits? Can someone that works at a game store (or maybe even someone that might have the XBox version) tell me what the hell is going on?
Yeah. They changed it to a "Platinum Hits" title two or three months ago. Originally, I guess, it wasn't going to be, as the cover art was entirely different (and not silver).
I'm a little disappointed by this fact, as I'm a purest in video game cases. I don't like the style of the budget boxes. ;o
But, yeah; it's out today (or shipped today). I'm gonna get it a little later today. I hope it's a fresh enough spin on the title to keep my attention (like the last one).
As for new Platinum Hits... *shrugs* I don't think so.

I'm pretty sure it was never added as a Platinum Hits until TLC, but I know there was a cover art change.. sorta. I know that they decided to bundle the pre-order DVD's with the normal game and it had a blurb about it on the box.. but I don't recall it ever going PH before now.
I'm a little disappointed by this fact, as I'm a purest in video game cases. I don't like the style of the budget boxes.
As am I. I'm still upset that TLC comes as a PH game and there isn't a normal style case for it.
And why'd you take me off your friends list on XBL? Or maybe I overlooked something. We wanted to get a game of XML2 going the other night and were told that you were on, but I didn't see you on my friends list.

It may mean it shipped to retailers. I am going nuts for Stubbs the Zombie, which "shipped to retailers" on Monday. I have a Best Buy gift certificate and so I am waiting for it to become available at Best Buy.
I continue to wait and go slowly insane. ;-)

Shit I need to go pick this up then. I've been dieing to play my reg. Fable.
I'm pretty sure it was never added as a Platinum Hits until TLC.
Well, right. I meant that The Lost Chapters wasn't originally billed as a Platinum Hits title until two or three months ago, which is an odd surprise... kind of, anyway. On GameSpot (a couple of months ago), the cover art was the new cover art, but on a regular Xbox case. Then is magically changed to my disappointment.
I guess they're just killing two birds with one stone.
And it's odd how it's release date entirely slipped under the radar and there's been zero press as far as Lost Chapters or the PH change goes. Kinda dumb.
And why'd you take me off your friends list on XBL? Or maybe I overlooked something. We wanted to get a game of XML2 going the other night and were told that you were on, but I didn't see you on my friends list.
I've noticed that on every title other than Halo 2, when you select somebody's name, the default action is to "Remove Friend From List". I've lost count of how many times I've done this (especially on Far Cry).
In fact, it took me over thirty minutes to get in a game with craven fiend and Sticky Waffles on Project Snowblind (the Comedy Game) because we kept removing eachother from our lists. The layout on that game was terrible... as was the entire game, itself.
If you can, add me next time you get on because I won't be on until later tonight, or something. I'll try to remember if you don't.

I think you're going to definitely go insane, because I don't think Best Buy is going to carry Stubbs the Zombie ever. I was told yesterday that they will not be receiving any copies. They do carry the soundtrack though.

Wow, and we've been needing an extra person to join us in Far Cry. Yeah, I've almost done that a few times, but it does give you a confirmation asking if you want to really remove the person from the list. Far Cry also seems to auto-accept friends or something, I just put 'add to friends list' and they show up, I don't know if it sends a request or not. It may, they may just be accepting the request really quickly, I dunno. But yeah, i'll add you back right now.

I went there yesterday to get it and they said they weren't getting it until the 20-something-th. I wanted to kill two birds with one stone by picking up Land of the Dead and Stubbs the Zombie in one swift stroke... but Land of the Dead wasn't even on sale. So I went to GameCrazy (where I should've went to begin with).
Constant reminders of why I don't like Best Buy. ;o

Is Fable:TLC out or not?
When you click on 'Buy it' on GameSpot it brings you to a blank page, I guess thats a good sign that their date is wrong.
I just went to GameStop.com and it says Fable:TLC isn't coming out till 11/1/05, then I went over to EBgames.com and it says Fable (NEW) is Back Order, which I asume is because TLC is replaceing it. also IGN has it listed as Oct 2005.

I think you need to restart the game. The new levels are prolly at different times in the game.

I think it was Gamespot that said any saves from the original Fable won't work here - so you'll have to replay it. Hey, at least it's a good game...

10-19-2005, 02:23 PM
Okay, so I just got back from lunch. EB's computer said they had two copies, but the guy couldn't find them. He thought maybe they were put aside as reserved. The Gamestop guy was a complete asshole - he was completely confident it wasn't coming out until 11/1, and then when he looked into the computer it didn't have a date at all and just said "preorder", so he said probably not "until next year". I love it when these guys are so informed of their products...
This release is really weird - no one has it listed online, so it's hard to tell exactly who has it and who doesn't. At the very worst, I'm not in any hurry to play it so I can wait until it's more readily available. It just bothers me that so many people have no idea about this.

Same. None of them ever got it shipped to them. I haven't checked GameStop, yet... and I don't really want to.
I walked into GameCrazy where I was(n't) greeted by a new female employee who was watching American Pie on one of the T.V.s. I asked if they had the new Fable Platinum Hits disc. And she asked, "For what system?" I almost walked out the door.

Was she at least cute? With a brain like that you could have probably had your way with her in the back.
I was hoping that they would have added multiplayer (although they would have been hyping it up in that case) like they were going to have in the original Fable before they cut it due to time restrictions. I'm still playing the original Fable (I think I'm on my 4th or 5th profile) so it might still be worth it.

Nah. My brain went into feril mode the minute I detected the presence of a female, checking her out and seeing if she'd be a suitable mate for my king's genes. She was ugly and stupid. :(

I'm not sure if I should get the PC version or the Xbox version.
The main reason I wanted the Xbox version in the first place was because I wanted to use old characters on it, but if I can't, I might as well get it for PC.
Except it's $30 more. Dammit.
jrutz
10-20-2005, 11:26 PM
I've read the PC version supports 16x9 widescreen resolution, so it's hoped that the re-release for the Xbox does the same (the original Fable wasn't widescreen). I hope that this feature, more than the extra levels themselves, made it into the TLC re-release.
Still can't find it anywhere though. Might have to just order online.

The original supported HDTV as well. There was a specific order in how you booted up and it would work fine.
I'm gonna take screenshots of my Fable character's metamorphosis... for something to do. ;o
I was surpised to see it in EB today. I just walked in there and bam, there it was. I didnt expect it to be released so fast.... At a first glance I thought it was just the PH version of Fable (as I thought it would have a slightly different cover), but it was indeed the Lost Chapters. I dont like the new additions to the nomral art, it looks a bit lighter and the PH logo doesent fit in well.

Nope. They're still long and often continue loading although the progress bar is entirely filled.
Of course, the hero looks like this from the get-go (mine has a scar on his eye already, though):

As for Fable itself - any naysayers just have to see the player do his little russian dance and they'll be sold.

load times kills this deal.
on the original, when you get your first missions at the guild, there are some missions that you never get to do because the linear path makes you meet with the head hero...can't remember his name. has anyone ever reported being able to accept those missions.
one had to do with an abominable snowman and the other had to do with the woods. it's been a while, but i was hoping they made those initial missions available.

Try Gamestop or EB- all the big chains won't have Lost Chapters until they sell out of all the oldschool versions. I got mine at my Gamestop in Golf Mill.
I'm having a blast with this game, I can't see why it took so much fire for being less than was hyped- it's beautiful, funny and polished as hell. Some really bizarre and totally unique experiences. Never before have I had to cross dress, sleep with 10 hookers and buy shrooms to succeed in a game before. It's my new favorite RPG no doubt about it.

So what's the deal on this? Exclusive to certain stores, rare, what's going on? I have no Xbox right now, was going to pick this up when I got my 360, but I may just have to bite the bullet and buy it now...

It's just severely underproduced. GameCrazy will not be getting any in at all.. Rhino stores have 1 copy per store coming, but that's it.. dunno about EB and Gamestop.

You think the demand will cause them to print more, or is this pretty much all that's out there?
I really don't have the $20 to spend right now, but shit, I don't want to track this game down in a month either. I know none of us can really predict what will happen, but it just seems stupid for MS to underproduce this game.

I dunno. From what i've heard, they didn't even really want to bring TLC out on XBox, they were going to axe it (and this is evident by EB removing their listing for it completely), but they decided to make it anyway.
I'd grab it now, I dunno.. check ebay values, TLC is already netting $40+ or more.
//edit: I wouldn't be suprised if they cut shipping on it by a ton just to save more money for the 360 launch.

Just played about an hour of it yesterday and it's been awesome so far. Reminds me a lot of Shenmue (my favorite game and series ever).

I checked with my local BB and TRU and inquired why they didn't have it. A Geek Squad loser at BB told me that the game wasn't out yet, and I sternly told him that it did last month. BB and TRU have no listing of it in their catalogs. The TRU people said that a rep from NJ orders the games for the stores. They recommended that I call an 800-number to let them know we want the game.

Btw, this is off the Fable's web site here: http://www.lionhead.com/fabletlc/news/212
"Because Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox is released as a platinum version, it is replacing the original Xbox game, so some retailers might have to sell their original inventory first. As the older version is sold, the retailers will have the new version and many stores already have Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox."
Might sort of explain why we won't be seeing it at major stores for a long time. :/

Interesting - now both at EB and Gamestop, they only have Fable: The Lost Chapters in stock. No plain ol' Fable used or brand new.

Was just at Target and they had about five copies of "Fable: The Lost Chapters" for Xbox on the shelf with four copies of the original version in the PH, PC, & GH section.
If one Target has them in stock, I'm guessing others will be carrying it too.

Picked up my copy at GS today. I'll probably play it on the long weekend ahead.

Does the new version include the original game also?

Saw a single copy of it at Target I was at last night, with the shelf tag just saying Fable, not Fable: TLC.

Yes. It takes the original game and builds new areas off of it, fills in the old world with more sidequests and minigames, better features, more clothes, spells, tougher enemies, more secrets to find as well as improving all the old tiny problems.
It's not Fable 2, its a new rendition of the old game in the form it should have originally emerged as.

At least the price is right for the Xbox.

My local BB had three copies in by the Platinum Hits shelf, so it is finally making rounds.
