Molyneaux Hopes for Day 1 Online Co-Op Fable 2 Patch

Lets face it, we were all pretty pissed when we saw Fable 2 was going to lack it's much touted online co-op mode at release.  Like the similar announcement of Little Big Planet before it, the developers promised us it would be patched back in shortly after launch.  In the case of Fable 2 we were given a time frame of "within the first week." 

According to VideoGaming247.com, if Peter Molyneaux gets his way the game will get patched the day it hits retail shelves.  Here's what Peter had to say in a recent interview:

“It is a very usual thing with anything to do with co-op and it relies upon the Live service,  it gives us a tiny bit more time to polish it and make sure it’s working right. Anything to do with Live is much more complex than single-player, so out ambition is to get it out on day one release patch."

“Now, I can’t absolutely confirm that at the moment. It’s all going well. It’s looking like it should be spot on for that. It is down to a few minor little things, and we’re pretty close.”

We know Peter tends to break promises, and is a bit over ambitious.  But we can only hope he's "spot on" with this prediction.
