Is anyone interested in this? From what I've heard Fable II is better than Fable III in most respects. I would prefer that game be ported instead. I will still check this out though.
Fable III
Game » consists of 16 releases. Released Oct 26, 2010
The third game in the Fable series sets you with the task of overthrowing your own brother, the tyrant ruler of Albion, as the kingdom enters the industrial era.
PC Port
eh fable 3 was ok but squandered its potential. I enjoyed it but everything bad you have heard about it is true also fuck that ending
In my head: Fable>Fable 3>Fable 2 so my opinion is probably flawed but I would rather see a port of Fable III.
What I'm wondering is if Lionhead will update the 360 version with the release of this, and give me my 40 gamerscore for opening all the demon doors.
I'm sort of interested, I never played a fable game before since I don't have a 360. I know the first game was on pc.
" ... opening all the demon doors. "This game isn't like Oblivion where you had to go around the world and close gates, but instead open doors of some sort, is it?
@yoshimitz707: I think the journalist who said it was looking for an ending that was a miraculous spectacle. I'm guessing what was pictured was explosions, giant monsters, crowds of people running around, etc.

" @Dizzyhippos: It was speculated that the ending was scaled down due to the "limited capabilities" of the 360. If this is true then hopefully the PC ending will be more spectacular.

But still, to others, I never played the first fable, not too sure what is about and I dont want old graphics, I would mind fable 3 which has good graphics and as I heard is more streamline and better than fable 2.

I don't really understand why the third game gets so much criticism. Yes, it's still the Fable series and it's far from perfect, but if you had fun with the last two, you should enjoy this one too. I liked that they put more emphasis on the story and tried to make the characters feel a bit more three dimensional.
Can we all just agree that 4 will need to be drastically different and move this thread back on track?

Oh, forgot that GB's word is fucking law. I thought the game was brilliant. A bit short but still brilliant.
I have played only the first Fable but I've heard that Fable 2 is Fable 1.5 which, objectively, makes it the better game." @President_Barackbar said:

" @WinterSnowblind: Honestly, I think the real problem is that Molyneux just has far too much ambition and crazy ideas. He wants to do too many things that are just beyond the scope of games, and when those things are actually translated into a game, they don't come across half as well as he anticipated. "So true, he has always been like that. This guy should live in the future where he would be able to make the games he invisions. Its just a bit sad that each time he starts a new project he always over promises and never deliver.

I kinda hated this game once you got off the main continent. It took a nosedive into utter junk for the rest of the game.
I also felt like I never really had any real opportunity to do stuff outside of the main story. It felt more narrative focused than the other two. Also it was really easy to just start buying houses and making assloads of money for the endgame, it kinda took all the tension out of it.

Fable II was a better game compared to Fable III. However, Fable III is still a decent-good game and I wouldn't mind playing it on the PC.
