Fable II On PC? Don't Hold Your Breath

• Clings to the personal computer as sole gaming platform
• Wants to play Fable II

We're not working on a PC version of Fable II.

Such a clear statement.

I don't see why not on PC, but I don't care because I have a 360.

yo just cause they aint working on the pc version, doesnt mean microsoft isnt paying someone else to do the port, just like gears 2.

The way 360 ports are going these days (see GTA IV and Saints Row 2) I'm not sure they would be doing the PC gamers any favors. 

Oh come on, i really wanted Fable 2 on the PC, i just hope we see some indication in the near future because this would be one heck of a game if it comes to the PC. 

Would you call me crazy if I said I don't believe them? Game companies lie so much about these things that I just can't take Lionhead seriously.

lionhead might be right, but microsoft likes money, they can get someone else to do the port.

Have you seen the state of some of these PC ports lately?  A week is plenty for the amount of effort that gets put into them.  Srsly, I think they just click the "Work (badly) On PC" button in the 360 code and that's it.

It kinda makes sense for devs to deny a PC release, even if there will be one.  If it converts one "I'll just wait and pirate it on PC" customer into a 360 purchase then it's worth it. 

My guess is you'll eventually see a PC release (inc. DLC maybe) when there is no danger of it cutting into 360 sales.  It will have as little effort as possible put into it.  It won't sell many copies, but it will still make money because it will cost next to nothing to make.

Something about Fable just suits the consoles alot better.  The sitting on your couch with a controller looking at your big tv,  not many people can do that with the pc.  I think i would still get it if it came out though.  Theres very little chance i'll be getting a 360 anytime soon.

Why would I care? If I wanted to play Fable II (Which I kind of do now) I would get it on the 360. People who pretend that the PC is the end-all platform for playing games are just deceiving themselves.

I didn't pick it up on 360. I'd get it for PC if it was cheaper like most PC games. But then again I'm a sucker for high resolutions and anisotropic filtering.

I hated that the Fable TLC PC port didn't have any controller support. This is no mouse and keyboard game.

Also, the argument that one cannot play PC games on the big screen and surround receiver is a broken, flawed one.

There was a time when I was actually hoping they would port it over to the PC. But now I really don't care. There's other stuff to play.

I got a 360 so I don't care :D

Thats too bad for PC gamers. Isn't it funny? Before, a lot of the best games were on the PC and used to get ported onto consoles. Now its the other way around. Oh how times change.

Who would play Fable on a PC in the first place? It doesn't seem suited for it.

But...but...I want to play it!

Hahaha good one.

"Who would play Fable on a PC in the first place? It doesn't seem suited for it."

........I am not pleased by this news.

Wow, this means that Fable 2 is actually a 360 exclusive

I thought I saw it on PC o.o But it is certainly a game made first and foremost for consoles, so I don't think its that big a deal. Its not exactly a masterpiece (too many big glitches, still riddled with balance issues, some frustration in the combat [like the casting spire guards vs melee characters v.v], and some less then realized concepts) so PC gamers aren't missing out on a hell of a lot. Its a good game and all, but more then a little dissapointing.

Shame, maybe I would pay for it.

Eh. I cried.

Just because Lionhead isn't making the PC version doesn't mean it isn't being made. Another studio could be making the port.

No PC = No free DLC = No problem! :-p

I won't hold my breath, but I'm still expecting it to come sometime. And when it does, I expect it to be integrated with GFWL in which case I won't buy it.

Ambivalent.

Ahh you PC guys aren't missing out on a whole lot...you guys get a bunch of great RPGs and Fable isn't exactly cutting edge stuff.  I mean it is a good game...but nothing all that great compared to some of the stuff on PC...Fallout is probably more rewarding.

That sucks... this is like the only thing stopping me from selling my 360.

Ha, I love that. Here's the full quote: "We're not working on a PC version of Fable II." lol

"yo just cause they aint working on the pc version, doesnt mean microsoft isnt paying someone else to do the port, just like gears 2."

black & white 3
having that on PC would be amazing ... having it exclusive to the xbox 360 => i would definitely consider buying an xbox 720 (since i have more than enough consoles for this current gen ... but buying the next one and playing black & white 3 would be an option)

God I hope that if they do release a PC version that they don't do a saints row 2/GTA4 style of "JUST GET A COUPLE OF GUYS TO TAKE A WEEK ON IT, DO WHATEVER THEY CAN AND THROW IT OUT THERE" thing.

The state of PC gaming is disappointing. I mean, I am a die-hard PC gamer, and there is absolutely no chance of me ever getting a console (unless its an old one, I would totally go for an SNES), but stuff like this is annoying, I mean, its not the greatest game ever (I have seen friends play it) but I enjoyed the first one and this one looks pretty fun. It does look like a more consile-suited game (most third person shooters or similiar, as this is not a shooter are, but they work just as well with a controller on a PC).

PC Gaming wont die, not with MMO's, but I would like to see some good new RPG titles (though, there was The Witcher and Dragon Age: Origins is supposed to come out this year).

The whole thing is sad, since I think that PC controls (KB/mouse) are better suited for most types of games (RTS, most RPG's, FPS). I guess thats a personal thing, but .... well I am off topic now. Point it, this is kind of dissapointing, but I was not expecting to see a PC release of it this year anyway, So I didn't actually say anything at here.

you not missing alot

Meh, when they get around to it I know that they will do a decent port, unlike GTA IV.
Fable The Lost Chapters was a well done PC port.

Microsoft doesn't give a shit about the PC at all."

Hmm I'll continue to wait. Or rent it , I do have  a 360, just kinda wanted it on pc

There most likely working on more DLC instead, It could be a while before PC users get it but if they do they are likely to get it along with all the released DLC so far.

"Because honestly, what other advantage does Windows have over, say, Ubuntu, that justifies the huge price difference? The only other reason people use Windows that I can think of is because they've always used Windows."

That and Games -- I dual boot Ubuntu, and games are in fact the main reason I don't use it exclusively

That's what I meant. :P No real reason to use Windows except for DirectX.

Good news.

I'm not at all pissed, as a ardent lover of PC gaming.

Good, 360 version has too many bugs anyway.

So much hate for the PC, GEEZ.

Yeah I don't have either console and don't plan to since my PS3 works fine.

I don't see them passing up the opportunity to release it on PC. It may be a marketing ploy so as to not stifle sales of the 360 version, which is what they did with Gears of War.

Indeed it is a very clear statement. To elaborate on that, it's basically saying, they're not working on it.
Remember Fallout 3 DLC? They said "No, not at the moment" for the DLC on the PS3 after the release of 360 and PC. Months later, it changed.

Yeah you know what? I have it for the 360 so who gives a shit?
