I miss black and white and black and white 2

I recently replayed fable 2 and it froze so consistently I almost gave up on it. Which is unfortunate because I really enjoyed it otherwise. The first and third never had that issue.

nice video! glad to know B&W videos are still going

You can't even play Fable to anymore it won't work it's stuck it freezes every time

About the whole bringing Tyke into the base game and playing with the advanced creature AI - nowadays this was done and is possible through a mod called "Black & White: Ultimate", created by Shane, administrator of the Black & White Discord server. Ultimate features many changes and improvements, such as: - Playing B&W and CI through a modded CI client (which is slightly more stable and has some bugfixes over the base game) - An optional Hard Mode, featuring highly improved enemy god AI, agressive creatures and some additional trigger, i.e. instant death when Lethys or Nemesis influence reach your Temple - Being able to use Tyke in the campaign (requires you to beat Hard Mode once to unlock) - The ability to select your own player color, based on ingame RGB sliders - The ability to select your own temple style (only the existing ones from campaign and skirmish modes) - Optional settings to select your stating tribe, as well as being to randomize all villages and their miracles Overall, ever since I learned about its existence, Ultimate is now my go-to choice for playing Black & White, I'd highly recommend checking it out, it adds a lot of fun additions, and the Hard Mode is genuinely scary, well, as a good god anyway. If you're evil, the strategy mostly remains the same as in the original game.

My brother made a modded version of Creature Isle that has more villages to rule and two obscenely powerful enemy AIs that keep fucking with both the player and the Brotherhood trial-givers. It's genuinely a blast.

can you make video to show us how to install the game on windows 11 , or tell us where we can download it

I bought the P5 glove because I heard it was compatible with B&W. It controlled better than you might expect for the time, mostly the gesture mechanic actually worked! Eventually I got tired of my arm aching and went back to mouse though

I never got to play the first Black and White game, but I had Black and White 2 and it's expansion as a kid and it's still one of my favourite games I have played, I always hoped they would make a third instalment to the series but unfortunately that will never happen unless someone somehow manages to buy the IP to B&W

graphicaly its AMAZING

LOL I see so many of my filming and editing work in this video (from the Lionhead Video Diaries).

Im definitely excited to play a new god game made by wacky ol Peter but I'm not taking any of these mechanical promises even remotely seriously

Broadband was absolutely NOT widely available in the UK when Black and White came out. Similar to the US it was only easily available to students and in the center of some of the large cities. It was in Sweden and The Netherlands that broadband was broadly available at that time.

Unity’s cancellation wasn’t to do with the MS deal, it was cancelled before I joined the studio in 2004 & the MS buyout was 2006. I really wish it had happened, Minter is a game dev hero of mine. Two games which did get killed because of the MS buyout were B&W games on the DS & PSP. IIRC they were more focussed on the creature, they were being done externally but we had builds to try on dev kits in the studio. There are a bunch of other LH projects which were cancelled or put on hold indefinitely - probably about the same number as we ever released.

What bow did it leave outside the fight with Jack for you? People have a Mandela effect remembering it being an ebony bow but I believe it's just yew.

are there any games that are atleast similar to b&w 2? I love this game and I wish I could forget and play again

This looks interesting. I... I have faith in Peter. He's a good, honest man, not like that sinister Todd Howard! Jokes aside, I respect Peter much more than Todd. He's certainly a far superior designer; he has many industry redefining titles to his name, whereas Todd stumbled into a position to benefit from the fruits of not only his forebears (Ted Peterson, Julian LeFay), but far more talented contemporaries who contributed to games almost despite his presence (Michael Kirkbride, Ken Rolston). I've doubtlessly forgotten much, but I recall the impression that Peter's falsehoods felt like the result of unchecked ambition and infectious enthusiasm, almost childlike, but Todd's lies are delicately crafted with malice aforethought, like a lawyer.

Nothing as fun as giving the love letter to the mum. Enjoy your new life, james corden

25:45 That boy is dying of disease, he's tripping balls my guy.

The part where you said hearing Peter Molyneax and NFT game made your brain scrambled was pretty funny. Definitely can relate.

fable 2 is my childhood. I spent so much time on the minigame jobs to the point that they're a highlight for me. That's not a popular take, I know, but with hindsight it's clear to me now that it was related to my autism and the calming effect it had on me LOL Everything about the game was so stupid and wonderful that it sits next to dragon age origins in my all time favorites.

Fable 3 upcoming?

I've played through this game, no joke, 20+ times

Greatest tragedy was there was never a PC port. I'll never be able to play it again.

Fable and fable 2 are legendary.

Been wanting black and white 3 since my childhood man… good memories with lionehead

9:57 I can't get the ballista challenge to work :( the ballista always goes haywire and any minimal movement on my cursor brings it completely down. The aiming is completely spastic. Does anyone have any idea of what could be causing this? Thank you!

Imo their first bad game

I mean, he made so many great games! If he could have just shut up about ridiculous features and stopped overpromising on everything, we wouldn't be so mad.

of course you side with dean you sound homosexual

Nothing wrong with boobies especially since they're going now and all we have are fugly characters

I just want everyone to know that I bought Black and White 2 back in the day. This is your fault

Fable two was my intro to the series it was great still the best one

Fable 1 probably has the best time in the world no guns or ancient gods trying to destroy the world and probably the best villain Jack of blades. Fable 2 honestly has the best art style even three still uses it with it having probably the best atmosphere. Fable 3 is my favorite I understand it might be the most hated however it has the best story and probably the best ending outcomes even beating 2 including better characters with Walter and jester compared to hammer in the second.

I never played Fable 2 while being the biggest Fable fan. But this console exclusivity was so disgusting that it really cemented my opinion that I should never buy an Xbox, as I did in the end. I hope it was worth it to diminish the reputation of the whole series by ripping the communities apart just to sell Microsoft more consoles.😊

Slow Time was my favorite crutch in this game.

Fable 2 was definitely a great step in the right direction, you can tell the intention of the game was to emphasize all the stuff that was meant to be in the first game. It's a shame that the core development team had pretty much abandoned it after this game, mainly those from Big Blue Box Studios.

fable 2 was soo good. unfortunately i got rrod just after my first playthrough. i didnt even know you could get new hair so my character was bald af. i wish i could do a new playthrough but as a pc gamer im fd (yes i saved the dog)

fable 2 is to this day one of the most fun games ive ever played. I absolutly adore this game. its a capital crime that it is the only one without a PC port. id sacrifice my sister to the sword of aeons to get a PC port

Im ngl fable 3 is my favourite by far idk why I know it’s the worst made but it’s so fucking fun

Disagree with it being that superior to the first one, I think it is more nuanced than that. 1: The controls feel more janky to me. Full disclosure, I never played the second game back in the day. But I recently replayed the first which did not hold up to fond memories and then this one and I think that the controls and physics are actively more frustrating. I am watching you put down those roads smoothly though and wondering it if is more me. I've already tinkered with frame rates and mouse sensitiviely enough though, I barely had to touch those in the first game and reviews from the time do complain about how frustrating placing things or interacting with them is. There are times the cursor feels like it is jumping or is very rigid and it actively makes the experience far more frustrating for me than the obscene difficulty of the original did. That I can't do things while the game is paused or slow down the speed to compensate for this like in the original only irritates me more. 2: This is more a personal preference, but performing miracles to get people to believe in you made me feel a lot more like a god than sending out armies or getting people to migrate to my over developed city. The bigger more destructive miracles are nice but the actual means of taking territory/population is so pedestrian. So MORTAL. I especially find the good method egregious. I am aiming for a neutral play through, so I can city build and conquer, but FFS half the map ends up joining my city before I can muster a good army. I have to pick hovels and not build temples. It locks you into playing one way or the other, instead of letting you do a little of both. Of course I can capture those settlements and repopulate them but it is so tedious... 3: You already mentioned the lack of squirmish or multiplayer, but it really is the one thing that makes it inferior to the original. If it had it, I would probably consider it the superior game, if barely. 4: Least of all, and also mentioned, is that it tries to be both a city builder and a real time strategy game, on top of being a God game and a pet trainer, and kind of fails at all four. That is a critique you could levy at the original, but I felt it way more here with the additional features that felt like they cut into or undermined what was already undercut in the original. There are other complaints, but they either fit into one of those four points (I'd like to play as a civilization other than the Greeks, but this could have been fixed with squirmish/multiplayer) or just aren't as relevant as them.

i truly like yo style man, the way ya structure ya vids is nice to listen to and we can truly hear your passion for em games o' Lionhead. I sincerely hope F3 isn't gonna break ya m8 .

I always loved that Lionhead intro. Showing off the physics engine and being really damn unsettling at the same time.

I always had a issue with games where they impart how important your decisions are, simple and binary as they can be but the game doesnt adequatly showcase the impact of them often enough or they are the kind of decisions that do not impact things till a lot of time has passed cannonically which most games do not do that kind of time skip. I will say tho the music and cutscenes in the game are just great, i always love the etheral and mysterious music theyve had in these games, especially that intro choir

19:45 "You can't really be purely a mage due to how fast you run out of mana..." Whoa whoa WHOA, did you forget about mana potions? It's not very difficult to stock up on them. I seem to remember some items giving faster mana regeneration to help some with that as well (or was it a skill/attribute thing? I know it's there somewhere, been a while). Pure caster is overpowered. Go through spamming high level enflame with an occasional Infernal Wrath/Divine Fury while chugging mana potions and just try to tell me it isn't the easiest, breeziest way to play the game. Beyond that some spells like lightning are also good and have the potential for stunlocking enemies. But enflame specifically turned all of the areas that were a slog on all of my other playthroughs/builds (like the arena) into a breeze, there's nothing like it for ease and power fantasy. This is especially important to convey for people who might like the game for reasons other than the combat and just want to get through combat as fast and easy as possible.

Fable > Fable III > Fable II Fight me.

Ohhhh, I just love that feeling Black&White games intro hits. I have my doubts on new Fable game being good, and feeling like the Fable games, but I do hope they manage it

6:02 you can see the boulders rolling down the hill

Holy shit, I don't think I've ever seen anyone else talk about Black And White on youtube. I was starting to think it was a fever dream!
