You dont need to upgrade your graphic card every 6 month ffs, i havent updated in 2 years and my pc is still stronger than the 360... I can play mass effect better looking and with no slowdowns. Point is you only need to upgrade if you want the absolute best all the time and if you can do with a console you surely dont want that.

Also why would they run the AI through the gpu ?

I absolutely agree. When I first bought Fable TLC I had a Geforce 5600Ultra, which was 2 years old at the time. The game played beautifully on medium settings and looked much better than my buddy's xbox version. I liked it so much I played it through 3 times! Then I got a Radeon X800XL like 6 months later, to play ESIV Oblivion, and after seeing how much better TLC looked I played it 2 more times. Then, 2 years later, I got my new system, with a Geforce 8800GTS 512 and just for kicks I cranked every setting and played it yet another 2 times! With every new gfx card I was like a kid in a candy store - how much better would shadows look, how much smoother would character models be, how much more immersive would the game be? And I was never dissappointed! So, whereas it looked great with the first gfx card, it only proceeded to get better with each new card.

At any rate, my real point is this: I don't care about DLC (well, I do, but just read on), I don't care about UCC, I really only care about Lionhead Created Content for the PC. The PC is just all around better than consoles. Console controllers are clumsy and innaccurate compared to mouse/keyboard, the options for choosing anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, and resolution settings (among others) make for a much more realistic game world, and these days even a low budget gaming PC will be more powerful than the xbox 360. So, Lionhead, thank you for the great work, but please don't snub the PC gamers by not porting Fable II. You can have the ugliest, most annoying anti-piracy methods, I won't care . . . I just want to indulge my escapism complex and dominate the land of Albion just like "Chicken Chaser" and "Avatar" and "Ranger" and "Maleficus" and "Reaper" and "Death Bringer" and "Arseface" did so many years earlier! I want to kick the crap out of the baddies and defend the innocent and plot some and kill some defenseless while becoming a legend in the age of highwaymen.

Anyway, thanks for reading my random ramblings, and Peter - never stop the creative genius, it is wicked amazing! Thanks to all the Lionhead Crew - never grow up, grown up games are boring!

It is ingeniously told!!! Bravo!!! Completely I support! In Russia millions forums are hammered возмущенияями and everyone demand game on PC!!!! SORRY for clumsy English language

Ade5:

Hello! I don't understand why Lionhead want port Fable II on computers. I am sure that half of users Xbox 360 have modern computers but they bought Xbox, and a lot of them boght Xbox because Famle 2 released on it. And now Lionhead want to port this beautiful game on comps and we become losers?

I'm already a loser so no loss there then.

Woody:

We're not working on a PC version of Fable II...  If this changes we'll make sure you know about it on our website(s). 

, that should put an end to all those "FAYBEL 2 ON PC YEAHCOOLALRIGHT" rumors. Thanks for the info.

No we cant. The first fable was released for pc and they arent saying "it will never happen" and the rumours will always be there then.

No we can't...what?

I never said Lionhead is saying it'll never happen. If anything, I'm repeating exactly what Woody said. They don't have plans for it yet.

I'm sure there'll still be rumors. What I mean, is that should put an end to the rumors of Microsoft themselves saying there'll be a port, when really, Microsoft never said that. I've seen that sort of thing circulating, and it's amazing so many people believe it with no proof.

The Bag:

Can I have a raise?

Maybe its just that people want to believe so badly that any post in any forum that states "Microsoft said this" or "Lionhead said this" or "An Uber Secret Government Confidential Source at the Pentagon stated that the development of the best-selling XBox 360 game Fable II for Windows has been assigned to a team of genetically enhanced programming monkeys with SSBI security clearance. The targeted release date is a matter of national security and our source was not able to inform us before a group of Men in Black stormed the interview room and shot him full of sodium pentathol. Our sources at the British Intelligence Agency have confirmed orders for boxes with the letters "F", "A", "B", "L", "E" and "I" along with the Microsoft Windows Logo have been placed with a prominent box maker in the UK, but would not confirm the letters to be in the order stated or by whom the order was placed. When we confronted lead designer Peter Molyneux at a local bar he continually pressed one button which proceeded to break a chair over the reporters back, slide the reporter across the bar top (breaking every pint glass), punch the reporter in the face repeatedly, and end with a very nice finishing move in which Molyneux's rapier was thrust into the chest of the reporter causing an explosion of experience orbs from various attribute categories. Before running off Molyneux promptly burped, farted, and ate a "crunchy chick" thereby gaining a +4 alignment. We translated this as "No Comment". Minutes later, a bloodied, matted, ball of fur limped into the pub and whimpered at us. Assuming this was Molyneux's four legged friend we pointed him in the right direction. As the pup left we could have sworn we saw a Windows Logo tattoo on the the dog's left shoulder, but due to the excess of coagulated blood we can not confirm this statement. After collecting the facts we can confidently say that the release date for the PC version of Fable II is (divide by two, carry the one, and add 2 just for measure) FEBRUARY 15th, 2009!"

Sorry for the sarcasm, but my point is we (PC gamers) WANT to believe the rumors even if they are way too outlandish to be true,

(These random ramblings brought to you by Drew)

It is interesting to me to know, Peter Muline comes on this forum? People simply in furiousness!!! Tell date of release of game on computers!!!

Personally i really want to play fable 2 but i have no interest in ever owning a xbox 360 ever again honestly the hardware is crap and this game would look way better and run smoother on a pc.

I think consoles are always better for games personally because of hardware issues, if Fable 2 was only on PC I don't think I would have bought it.

I agree, 'only on PC' is not the best marketing strategy anyway. There are those like you minimaster58 that don't care to mess with hardware, driver, and install issues and just want to play the game. For these kinds of people they release the console versions. For those of us who like to tweak settings and strive for the best looking gaming experience there is the PC version. I also don't believe there would be a hardware issue with Fable II because it was originally designed to run on an XBox 360, and like I stated previously even a budget gaming PC these days would run it at the 360 settings if not better. But thinking about how it would look with a core i7 and a GTX295 leaves me drooling!

I respect your opinion, but do not agree with it . . .

spread the love man Its simple we want to play the game aswell or are you console monkeys(no offence to neutral guys(and girls)) but this is a AWESUM game and should be shared to whoever can play it with decent frame rates or are console monkeys this jealous bout Fable and their exclusives?. Frankly (off topic) Dark messiah of Might and Magic should never have been ported to 360. So Dev's give us Fable for this so called dead platform (pc gaming) OR we might just get angry! You wouldnt want us angry!

I really hope they do. There are so many computer players, that have hoped it would go to PC. Wish everyone could play it.

The 15th of February was just a rumor posted on some gaming site. Supposedly they heard it from an 'inside source'. I highly highly highly doubt LH would release the game 11 days from now if they have not announced a release date or even if they are 'officially' working on porting the game yet. I would expect 3-4 months between the announcement and the release in order for preorders, hype, and all that to happen before the game is sold to the public.

Oh, and don't believe anything I said in the post about the release date . . . it was just my brain needing to spew crap all over the computer screen ! I was being facetious (sarcastic).

Hey the 15th happens to be my b-day so it better release then lol!

nArcosis:

Hey the 15th happens to be my b-day so it better release then lol!

My birthday is November 5th, you think they'll release it by then?!!!!

This is just fraggin annoying. Do they not get that half the people that have already purchased Fable II for the 360 are willing to turn around and buy it again for the PC? Maybe more then half but the point is they would make more money on the same product.

Oh well, Dragon Age is coming out from Bioware and we can count on them to make a decent, if not exceptional, PC game.

 

I would prefer that LH would work on the next fable or another project, instead of moving fable 2 to the pc just yet. Unless they allow another company to move it over to pc. But i want lionhead to work hard on their next game that will hopefully be even better than fable 2 (meaning it will be so sweet, people internationally will consider it the best game ever!!!!!!!!!)

At the moment, I'd be content with a Windows port of Pub Games, so I can start saving up ingame gold for my Hero till the full Windows version of Fable 2 comes out

I personally know 3 people that have told me the same thing, and they're the only 3 people I know with 360s and Fable II. They keep telling me how great the game is, and how sweet it would look on PC at like 1900x1200 with AA and AF enabled. I tried to watch one day but I couldn't bring myself to watch for more than 5 minutes because I felt it would spoil it for me, because I am still hoping for a PC port.

Maybe another company is working on the port, which is why LH denies knowledge. We can hope . . . although I'd rather LH do it, as long as they stick with the original control scheme it should turn out fine if done by others.

I hope fable 2 comes to pc at some point just bit soon at the moment i believe. If it does please have the DLC thats out then part of it with some pc only stuff and allow us to create our own stuff.

I would love to see Fable 2 on pc. I loved TLC and spent way to many hours of my free time playing it, worth every penny!!!. I love playing games and used to be into consoles but lost interest in them over the years and now play games on the PC entirely(unless a friend brings one over to play). I can't think of another game in the world I would love to get a chance to play other than Fable 2, if it go's to PC. Just hope I get the chance!!!!!!!!!

The problem with PC games is that so many people pirate everything. Even with all the protection they put on a disk people find ways around it. Kinda why so many games are on the consoles instead of the PC.

Ever looked at a torrent site? Console based games are not significantly harder to pirate than PC games, so that's really just flawed logic.

And regardless of how hard or easy PC games are to pirate, there is still a large population of gamers who will legitmately purchase any quality game that is reasonably priced. At risk of sounding vulcan, I question the logic of sacrificing all the legitimate sales, so that you can prevent piracy.

Really, by that logic they could prevent piracy altogether if they just stopped making any games at all.

If you knew anything about modding an XB360 is that if you get caught with it you and your console is forever banned from Live. Console pirating is much lower than pirating on the computer. It takes more effort and money for the console.
