Biggest Surprise: Fable has a multiplayer co-op mode! --Microsoft
We didn´t want to pick an obvious surprise of E3 like " Fran was mobbed by drooling fans.... including girls this time!" because that´s not the kind of thing we want to get into now that E3 is over. No, we simply thought about what truly caught us off guard at the show. When we realized Fable --a veteran of many, many an E3 now-- actually had a co-op mode that may include up to four players when all is said and done, we knew there could be no other choice. We thought we knew all there was to know about the title formerly known as Project Ego, we just wanted to finally get our hands on a decent playable version. When Peter Molyneux casually told us about the multiplayer function and how it would work using memory units to move your buddy´s hero into your game, we were floored. When he told us about the hero/sidekick system and how you and your buddy can switch roles on the fly and how each of your heroes will be fully powered up and functional in the game world, we were speechless. This is a good way to convince us that this will be the greatest RPG of all time TM.
