Fable to come to the PC :)
 

About one third bigger, the highly acclaimed XBOX hit "Fable" is coming to the PC. PC owners rejoice :)

I used to want this game so bad, but when it came out for xbox everyone said it was highly overrated. I'll probably get it for xbox now though, since it's only $20.

http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/..._ass/happy.gif THAT'S AWESOME!!

Wow, these new goodies!! Why NOT get the PC version even if you already own the Xbox one (like I do)?!!

Why would I want two copies of the same game? Plus, i'm a po' college student. I can't afford such luxuries.

Hey I'm a po' old man! You got mo' money than I got! Get the PC version, it's got mo' goodies crammed in, ya lard arse!

Good god man! Such slaughter to the English language shall not continue! Anyway, I doubt I have more money than you. I make about $74 every two weeks. What say ye now?

But didn't Molyneux come out in a forum post a while back and publicly apologize for the game? That's not exactly news that makes people want to rush out a buy a game, new content or no... :crazy:

I knew it! I knew it!

It's funny I was just thinking today. "Hey wouldn't it be great if Fable came to the PC?"


I haven't heard positive things about this game though....

a one third larger but still hollow world to explore. Yay!

More people to thrust your hips at and much much more...

If you avoided this on Xbox for whatever reason, (maybe you don't own an xbox) you might as well avoid this on PC too.

Woah. Are you serious? Link me fool!

There are a lot of publications and people who regarded this game highly. I think it got some negative vibe because it didn't live up to the expectations that it set for itself as the best RPG game ever, and that's why Mollyneux was appologizing on the forums, but for what it tries to do, it's still a pretty decent game.

It is, yes. I got on XBox and had a marvelous time, partly because I never really kept up on all the hype the entire time it was in development. Although there were the obvious hanging threads in the game (the great dragon mentioned in one of the books you find being one of them), I think they slightly helped 'extend' the depth of the gameworld because you knew about them but they took on this legendary status.

And now it looks like the PC version will finally connect some of those hanging threads.

Beat ya to it! Booya!

:shifty: Erm, yeah. You're the winner or something. Here's a cookie.

It appears that the great RPGs in XBOX would come to PC one by one, Sudeki, Fable and the upcoming Jade Empire. How wise am I to choose PS2 instead of XBOX last year! :D

Ooooh....that's a pretty sweet prize! Thanks! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH :D

Pffft...sure, you're so lucky you get to play games that make your eyes bleed because of all the jaggies, and cookie cutter japanese anime games! Toy Story graphics? HAHAHAHAHAH!

Surely you could't feel the joy when you kill the BOSS in Shinobi with a single slash, cause you all never had experienced that. Gamespot only gave a poor 7.4 to this great hi-speed ACT. Is there something wrong with their head?

Americans are good at making RPGs and adventure games. But for action games, they're really in their babyhood. And when you talked about the jaggies of PS2, I could confirm my point of view that Americans regard the graphics as the most important aspect. But this couldn't explain why you're still playing some very old adventure games. Because of their gameplay, right? I have the same reason to choose PS2 games. Besides, my favorite console is Dreamcast, for the great IKARUGA and tons of excellent action and shooting games.

I think the biggest reason for porting all the XBOX games is that Microsoft does not want to drop the PC as a gaming machine. There is even an article on gamespot in the GDC about the future Microsoft sees for PC gaming:

The main reason ofcourse is windows. Regardless if they make consoles or not, Windows is the reason why Microsoft is here today and with office is the biggest seller for the company. Like Ron Gilbert has pointed out before in the grumpy gamer, the fall of Apple was partially due to their lackluster support for games whereas Microsoft wholly adopted gamers and developers with Direct X and support. They are even talking about having Direct X for the XBOX 2, so if that's the case, think how easy it will be for developers to co-create games for both platforms.

See, I think American action games are the best. I think they're about more interesting subjects. For example, The Suffering, is about fighting your way out of a haunted prison. To me, that's pretty interesting. Now, I could have gotten otogi or whatever it's called, but what the hell is that about? Something about demons and crystals...or something. To me that's just crap. I'm not saying I hate all games from Asia, I loved Shenmue I (not so much the second one though), and FFVII was my introduction to RPG's, not to mention greats like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and i'm dying to get Fatal Frame (did I mention that one of my biggest regrets in life was not playing seamen when I had a dreamcast?). This is all probably because I don't like anime, so a lot of the Asian charm is lost on me, but mostly, I just find the games uniteresting. I have no need to play as a ninja in every game.

But, we both love (maybe loved?) the Dreamcast, so there's some common ground there.
