@Lazlo: Oh and another thing... just because it is a blog means we shouldn't expect more? being a blog means you have the right to report things incorrectly and spell things wrong and misrepresent companies? I expect people that are reaching such a broad audience to be careful about how things are represented to their readers.

KID-A26

@Laser_iCE: You don't think it's a problem that things like this seem to happen ALL the time? I just think they need to take a little extra time and edit their posts.

I mean, this is a pretty glaring mistake, and it's not even close to the first time it's happened. It makes you wonder if Adam even bothered to read what he was posting.

Again, I'm not trying to be hostile or flame Kotaku, I love this site, but I don't think that good editing practice is too much to ask for.

QualityJeverage

I'm totally buying Fable 2.

zonizukaz

hehehe i clicked more after the metal slug video to watch the developer diary. best part is when the guy tells how many sound effects there are. There are over 9,000 btw.

Mricci424

@QualityJeverage: Who the hell do you think you are, an editor for the NY Times? This isn't some half-baked blog, this is a full-time job for all the editors here. You try reporting on this stuff 24/7 and see how well your editing goes. And the mistakes happen hardly as often as you want to say they do.

SarcasmOD

@Lazlo: Yes I meant Fahey. And why should I get banned for criticizing Kotaku? All I am saying is that they could easily correct many of their problems with a quick spellcheck or perhaps a google search once in awhile. It's not difficult. They are not professionals, this is a blog, it's not "journalism".

KID-A26

Definitely an upgrade. :P

Buttah

"Never gonna slug you up, never gonna slug you down..."

DukeOfPwn

@SinisterSpade: Except you'll probably be banned.

Đipic

At least it wasn't Rick Astley.

Cojo21

@Laser_iCE: ooooOOOoooh shit, Imma posting on the internets. Nobody gives a shit either way.

kakihara

Now I'm going to buy Fable 2. Damn straight.

Wasn't before, though.

tzaketh

@KID-A26:
Who is Fehey? Since you never make spelling mistakes I can't possibly assume that you meant Fahey and typed "Fehey" instead, could I?

Lazlo

Wow everyone is perfect and has never fucked up, awesome.

Laser_iCE

I'm kinda interested in playing both games. It's about equal for both.

kakihara

@KID-A26:
Pretty sure you should get banned...

Lazlo

The Fable 2 diary is right after MS7 video.

Hey_guy

@_woLf:
It's a Blip video mistake. Crecente has pointed that out before.

Remember guys, this is a blog. No blog has perfect spelling/grammar/anything. Ease up a bit.

Lazlo

Fable II's on Ds now?! Awesome

Kingdom Oblivion

@Noks415: I am calm. It is more than a few mistakes though... it's a constant problem Fehey is the worst at it IMO.

KID-A26

Cool Fable II looks great! Soo much action...and mechs!? /sarcasm.

yomachaser

@mackincheese: :P

mackincheese

@dead_red_eyes: Metal SLUG, genius.

mackincheese

@undefined: @KID-A26: calm the hell down. So they posted the wrong video and there are few grammar errors, relax.

Noks415

@_woLf: Spelling, smchmelling. Phonetiks works.

Cojo21

Websites are hard.

Yonderboy

@Powie: Just because something is free, doesn't mean we aren't allowed to critique it as users. So, I believe it is you who needs to STFU.

SinisterSpade

Kotaku really needs better editing. You guys have a great site here and I rely on it for news, but it's really just embarrassing how often these things happen. Take 5 extra minutes and make sure your post is what you want it to be...

QualityJeverage

WTF? I know Fable 2 was supposed to have guns... but I didn't know it was Contra-esque. Now I'm totally getting it! Thanks Kotaku! :P

Cojo21

OH SNAP WE JUST GOT SLUGROLLED.

bfwings55

@KID-A26: Yeah, it's a good thing that the comments don't have anything misspelled in them.

renco

You know I wasn't at all interested in Fable 2, but thanks to that video I'm all for blowing up small villages and villain HQs with a pet dog at my side.

I bet those gambling mini-games will be good too.

Kenofthedead

Fable 2 on DS? with guns? NO WAI. WOO!

the_grimace

@_woLf:

The sites free, feel free to do your own or STFU.

Powie

Viral marketing from Snk..???

togovero

Hell yeah, it's about time that they renamed Fable II into Metal Gear 7 and ditched all the fantasy crap and went with guns!

dead_red_eyes

@_woLf: I agree 100%. Kotaku is lucky the report on interesting stuff. They are not even close to being journalists. Tons of misspellings, calling companies by the wrong name, misquotes, posting incorrect links... Hey! Maybe I could work for Kotaku! I can do all that easily!

KID-A26

I can't wait for fable 2 on my DS. With Guns.

Flowen

Fable has never looked better...

Lazlow

wut?

papercube

It was THAT GOOD!

ZinkO: preferred the old theme AND comment system

someone get a little Ctrl-V happy?

aspasticninja

@_woLf: Not to mention all the misspellings, and grammar mistakes I usually see in the average Kotaku story. Oh well, though.

SinisterSpade

@Pieman2:
same here.

frankbeans

Do you guys ever check what you post before you submit it? This seems to happen way too much.

_woLf

Uhh... all I got was a commercial for Metal Slug 7 on DS....

KID-A26

Uh... am I missing the joke? Because that video is the Metal Slug one.

SinisterSpade

Metal Slug video?

Pieman2

@QualityJeverage: I 100% agree. It happens a lot and we should expect more. Enough said.

KID-A26

i never make misnakes.

laser beams

@Adam Barenblat: Thanks for letting us know.

Again guys, I'm not trying to whine or flame Kotaku here. I don't know how many times I need to say that. I've just noticed these errors happening lately and I don't think it was wrong to say something about it.

Adam has apologized and explained what happened. So there you go.

QualityJeverage

The soundtrack to this game is going to be great. I wonder if the album will be available on iTunes or something similar.

Quicksilver4648

@Swift_:
no.
it cannot.

Naaloq

@Adam Barenblat: Thanks Adam, no offense to you or anything... but this kind of thing happens on kotaku all the time, just ask Fahey.

KID-A26

@SarcasmOD: Hey guys, Blip has been having some glitches lately where it will give me the wrong code even though when I check it, it appears fine. The video is fixed now and it has nothing to do with the integrity of our site. Thanks for your patience.

Adam Barenblat

@SarcasmOD: Way to answer the question... I'll just call you Sara Palin from now on.

KID-A26

@QualityJeverage: God forbid you have to go to another website to find the video.

SarcasmOD

So why is it that the "August" episode was released on October 2nd?

GusherKid

Can this be the new rickroll?

Swift_

Woot. SNK for the win. We're starting to take over Kotaku now. Next? THE WORLD. Our army of Metal Slugs with roam the streets while our worlds leaders stand no chance against our King of Fighters! All heathens will be excusted via. Samurai Showdown fatality by Haohmaru.

Whats this President Bogard, what would you like to say? "ROCK YOU!"

PhoenixAzure

Oh and btw, the SNK thing was the lead-in ad

kidko

Great job MGS, you finally piqued my interest in this game.

kidko

Listening to them do the voices at the end was easily the best part.

johnjohnbmx

@Formula1: Formula1, What exactly is "good enough". I am all for doing what you love, but regardless of what you are doing, you should be trying to do it the best you can.

KID-A26

@Đipic: Blogs are not a free pass to mediocrity. You can be fine with it if you want, but I believe that a blog - especially one as popular as this one - should be more careful about posting correct information and having correct spelling. It's simple man. I am not outraged or angry at the situation... I am just disappointed that they let so many little things slip. When something like this is your job, I would think you would want it to be the best it can be... but I guess some people are just fine printing mistakes.

KID-A26

@SarcasmOD: It's not that hard to use spell check or google search. It's called double checking. The fact that it IS their full time job is the exact reason we should expect more.Plue NONE of these guys do this 24/7... have you noticed there are about 10 people or so that post stories on Kotaku??

KID-A26

@KID-A26: Are you daft? I suggest you look up the definition of journalism... or perhaps even "blog" and "professional".

Đipic

@SarcasmOD: It takes 20 seconds, at most, to make sure that the main focus of the post (The video) is correct. I don't think that's too much to ask.

QualityJeverage

What a joy it was.............

Formula1

Now I actually want Fable for watching that awesome trailer!

HELLSRIDER

Sweet, Fable 2's looking more and more like Metal Slug 7 for the DS, They even got the name. This is a definite buy for any 360 owner.

kingdong6

@KID-A26:
I'm glad they screw up sometimes
We arent all Robots....

But we still are doing what we love, and Do it good enough...

A few errors never hurt so long as they are providing good info

Formula1

Uh, we got Metal Slug Rolled! I'm sure Metal Slug will never give us up or let us down. ;) Sorry. Had to say it.

Salen

@KID-A26:

If we were talking about designing an Airplane, I would agree.

But since its a blog, I'll allow mistakes.

I dont really mind it...
Again, I'd rather see mistakes then to see them perfect all the time

Formula1

@-Scrixx-:

Yes yes, I know it's Metal Slug. It's been a long day.

dead_red_eyes

@mackincheese:

Metal Gear?!?!?!

-Scrixx-

I loved that video. Sounds like the music's going to be very very nice, I'll probably buy this.

LastFace

@QualityJeverage: Yeah, you know, it's just a rough week for all of us with everything going on and we're just trying to do the best for you guys. Thanks for the feedback and hope to see you on the next post! :)

Adam Barenblat

@KID-A26: Well said?

renco

I enjoyed the bit where they were recording the voices. It's kind of funny to see the actual people behind the voices. The whole time I kept seeing images of the first game, lol.

syntakk

@Kenofthedead:

...*treads lightly* You realize you just described Fallout 3 and not Fable 2, right?

Intangible_360

@Powie:
But they're making butt loads on ads.

WEGGLES90

All sound effects made with the mouth first, HAHAHA, awesome!

Ultrasinc

I was like:

Holy shit!

It's the dude from V for Vendetta!

Then I was like:

He's good!

Then I wondered:

Is he going to be a closeted gay man in this one, too?

Then I was like: QUESTION ANSWERED. WAY TO TYPECAST.

tzaketh

Was that Shepard Book
AKA Ron Glass from Serenity/Firefly doing some of the voices in the background or where my eyes deceiving me? Anyway Zoe Wanamaker and Stephen Fry are very welcome!

Kingsandy

@DukeOfPwn: Brilliant, in a bad I-want-to-kill-you sort of way.

cZEAL

@Intangible_360:

He was referencing that the video WAS a Metal Slug 7 one-- there was a Kotaku mix up, but it's since been fixed.

There's a dog at your side in Fable 2 as well. It was a joke that was pretty good, but then crushed when those bastards at the top decided to fix their little oopsie and put in the actual Fable 2 vid.

tzaketh

I felt scammed by the first one, but it was still good regardless. Im looking forward to seeing how Fable 2 turns out. I'll wait for some reviews to come in before deciding.

ShadowMoses

wow that dude at the end has a voice to rival that of Patrick Stuart....

Badassiousness

@Formula1: As a journaism graduate I expect articles that reach the masses to be factually correct. I also would like to see things spelled correctly and things refrenced correctly. I do not believe that being a blog excuses you from performing like a professional. We obviously differ on this, and that is fine. It's your opinion and you are entitled to it. Cheers!

KID-A26

@Đipic: If I get banned for stating facts, then I'd just see this site as flawed. I critiqued in a non-insulting way. Besides, I said oh well. It's not like I said 'CHANGE THIS NOW YOU ILLITERATE BASTARDS.'

SinisterSpade

Beautiful, very inspirational.

7raczyk

Stephen fry's dialogue bits are strangely enticing. Who wouldn't want their concept of paradise redefined by him?

TheDarwinian

@KID-A26:

Nothing wrong with a little debate
If they Were covering Politics, I would COMPLETELY agree

But I find games just to be about fun, this website about fun.

I'm a maverick/experienced Senator That knows what hes doing, you are just some hotshot celebrity that thinks he can persuade the masses with your idealistic but completely inneffective ideas.

I kid.
But I do understand your point. If they are gunna be running a blog, they ought to do it right, not a bunch of kids messing around with info.
But I enjoy this website not just for the valuable info, but for the fun environment. Many the people on here are critical jokesters, not people looking for hard factual information that would lead to life or death.

I see both sides.
At this point in time I may say "Its fine if they screw up all the time and destroy the legitamacy of their posts" (WHich I dont think they do with the mistakes they make)

But I may change my mind.
