Fable III Shown on a PC at CES 2011 (Video)

The Microsoft Booth at the 2011 CES show has a little surprise for attendees – Fable II up and running on a PC. While many expected a PC port of Fable 3 it’s still a nice little surpise and a way to see how it may look when finally releashed.

If there is mod/patch support to patch up some of the game's issues (like the magical 120-day fast-forward at the end of the game) then I may be tempted to pick it up.

ThePaink1ller4863d ago

The first para of the article says Fable II and not Fable III.

Just thought I'd point it out.

doa7664863d ago

360 just lost another exclusive

40cal4863d ago

I love how the 360's exclusives come out for my PC.

As the only console I own is the PS3 and will never buy another Xbox product after going through the BS launch of the 360.

hassi944863d ago

doa766 - no it didn't. This was announced for Xbox and PC the day its existence was announced.

baodeus4863d ago

that is good they bringing it to PC.

@doa766
so MS not gonna get any money if you buy fable on the PC?

jaredhart4863d ago (Edited 4863d ago )

Sweet! Sure the PC crowd is excited.

Charmers4863d ago (Edited 4863d ago )

Oh yeahhhhhh you can't move on various forums for people talking about fable 3 on the pc, PC gamers are just THAT excited /s

This game is so gonna die on the PC it isn't even funny. Well ok it will be funny listening to Pete complaining that no PC gamer was interested in nearly a year old port of a game using an online service universally reviled by PC gamers of a franchise where they couldn't even be bothered to port the second one.

I mean this game has "success on the PC" written all over it really hasn't it.

SuperLupe4863d ago

Fable 1 was a big success on PC.

WhiteNoise4863d ago

@Charmers

Yeah man I'm f-ing amped!

I mean why play mature games like the Witcher when we have games like this where you can fart and burp like a real bad ass ( clearly the game was aimed at the lowest common denominator.

CaptainPunch4863d ago

There's nothing to be excited about, the game is average at best.

HeavenlySnipes4863d ago

know why you guys are highly anticipating this. The only good Fable was Fable: The Lost Chapters, 2 was ass and Peter decided that ass was not far enough so he managed to make Fable 3 be shit.

Don't get me wrong I used to love Fable, replayed Fable:TLC like 3x but the sequels are trash. Less magic, no difficulty, ability to spam magic, predictable boring story, and the fact that all they did to "improve" the 2nd was to give players to marry the people online, customize the house they will not use, hold peoples hands and the ability to look at yourself try on shit in a wardrobe.

Fable II - A Fantasy Series at Peak Performance

Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.

Crows90313d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson313d ago

I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.

GaboonViper313d ago

Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.

got_dam313d ago

Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.

cthulhucultist313d ago

Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.

You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.

The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.

But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.

Demetrius312d ago

I only got to play it once 😩 I'm so tempted to buy a Xbox 360 slim but planning on getting the series x soon since I got a PS5 in February Im ready to get saints row 1&2 back, GTA 4, fable 2, but I also want to play infamous 1&2 again Sony screwed us over with the stream only for saints row 2 and other gems smh

Fable: The Greatest Game Concept That Never Was

The Fable series is one of our favorite gaming franchises. Heres what we want from the rumoured sequel

ColdSin1390d ago (Edited 1390d ago )

Microsoft announced Fable Legends at Gamescom 2013, not E3 2013. I'd like for the new Fable to have the same artstyle as Fable Legends.

Zoned1390d ago

Thanks for that. I agree, definitely like the art style, but that's it. Nobody wanted Fable Legends!

moongrim1390d ago

How about Fable II Remastered for the pc please?!

RaveTears1390d ago

I would honestly buy the Xbox series S just for Fable 2 remastered or a remake.

moongrim1390d ago

I've never played it so I'm like dying over here.

Zoned1390d ago

Fable II was probably the best of the series. It had its flaws but overall was definitely a step in the right direction. Fable III was a huge misstep in comparison

RaidenBlack1390d ago

I was disgusted with Fable III

RaidenBlack1390d ago (Edited 1390d ago )

Yeah ... its an odd situation ain't it?
MS released Fable 1, Fable 3 and Fable 1 Remastred for PC.
Skipping the best one in the franchise.
Same goes for Gears: GoW, GoW Remastered, Gears 4 and Gears 5 are on PC.
And Halo: The entire Halo MCC and Halo Infinite will be on PC. But no Halo 5.

Zoned1389d ago

Definitely agree but you lost me with Halo 5. That was my least favourite Halo game (out of the Halo numbered titles)

RaidenBlack1389d ago

Yea, same here. Only liked the visuals of Halo 5 (that too on an One X, it doesn't look that good on the One S)

But what I meant was, MS is releasing every Halo game on PC from 1 to Infinite, except 5. Which is a bit odd.
Coz the free Halo 5-Forge was quite popular in PC community during its release.

porkChop1389d ago

I never got to play it because I sold my 360. It should have been remastered.

The only thing I can think of is if after the release of Fable Anniversary they decided to take the series in a different direction. They might not want the new game to be associated with the older ones.

sushimama1390d ago

Well lets hope Microsoft are going to announce a new Fable. The MS fans deserve a great Fable game. If it is announced and the gameplay looks cool, this might convince me to get, at least a Series S. It would be my very first Xbox console.

Zoned1390d ago

I would definitely buy an Xbox Series X if a 'proper' Fable sequel were to be revealed!

RgR1389d ago

You mean Fable fans.
Don't have to be an MS fan to want Fable but you definitely need to be a Fable fan to want a new Fable game.

RgR1389d ago

Kicking chickens! That was fun....hope modern society doesn't ruin it for a next installment.

chiefJohn1171390d ago (Edited 1390d ago )

Hell no Fable legends is NOT what we wanted.
Fable 2 is what we want outta Fable. Remake Fable 2 please.

5 Sequels We Would Love To See On Project Scarlett

Sam Smith writes: "While we hope to see lots of fresh and exciting new IPs on Project Scarlett, here are 5 sequels to established Xbox franchises we’d very much like to see."

This has to be one of the lamest lists I have seen for wishing for sequels.

Perfect Dark should be on the top of this list and it's amazing that MS hasn't even attempted to try and bring this amazing franchise back.

Charlie Murder, MS should pay and get Ska Studios to make a sequel to this excellent beat 'em up game. IMO, they should have been the ones to make Battletoads

Lost Odyssey, another no brainer and should be right up there with the whole Gears/Halo/Forza chant. And while we are talking about JRPGS...

Magna Carta, I loved the art style for this game. MS should definitely try and get a sequel to this for their new syste,

Bomberman Live, really one of the best in the series and I loved how it was simple and just focused on MP. Being able to customize your Bomberman was fun and I would love to see this make a return to Live.

Platformgamer1659d ago (Edited 1659d ago )

sunset overdrive 2... oh wait

EDIT: a trolling once in a while is ok, unlike most of the N4G users tho.

xX-oldboy-Xx1659d ago

Please continue to levitate above us.

Terrible and unappealing list
