Lionhead Studio's Peter Molyneux came to the Microsoft keynote at the 2008 GDC packing new Fable 2 footage and details on cooperative gamplay.
Molyneux first showed off a new money making minigame for Fable 2. What's interesting is that this minigame can be purchased and played on Xbox Live weeks before Fable 2 is released, permitting players to earn some extra in-game money beforehand. Winnings from this gambling title (a cross between roulette and craps) can be transfered into the full game when its released.
Of course, the most anticipated Fable 2 announcement is co-op gameplay. This game allows anyone else playing Fable 2 to log into your game via their gamertag and play alongside you. Be careful though: invited players can do permanent damage to your Fable 2 game world. In the above video you'll see that Molyneux plays as a female character that goes home to see his (her) husband -- too bad his co-op buddy kills the husband with a gunshot.
What do you think of this so far? Are you looking forward to this game's co-op gameplay?

@big filth
you've never played fable? you haven't lived!!
that co-op thing can really mess shit up if you get an annoying 13 year old kid on a killing spree. god damn..it could be fun though. i'm really lookin forward to this game
If the "mini game" were released as a free XBLA download it might be the push I need to buy the game. I don't imagine I'll be using my points to buy it though.
Still, sounds interesting, and I enjoyed Fable, despite its flaws, so I'm interested.
A 2 player Oblivion plus 2?
They still use gold as a currency but they can gamble with plastic chips?
Or maybe it's worth the money, I don't know.
*points, laughs.
You don't have to pay for the game unless you want it early,otherwise it will be on the disc,paying for it is only for people who wanna get a headstart on the moneymaking ingame
sounds good to me people who dont care about the money can just wait and play it for free and people like me who are lazy and want to be somewhat well off from the start will buy it and try to gamble our way to good fortune
def. excited for this
