Grab your wizard hat and robe, ladies and gentlemen, because Fable 3 has a release date for the PC.
Xbox Live's Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb revealed that the PC version of the Lionhead-developed role-playing game will launch on May 17.
Included in the PC version is support for NVIDIA's 3D Vision--though the game's 3D rating was not revealed--as well as an exclusive "hardcore mode." As you may have guessed, the new mode offers players a higher level of difficulty.
The blog post also revealed that a new set of downloadable content will arrive for the Xbox 360 version of the RPG. "Traitor's Keep" launches on March 1 for 560MS Points ($7), and adds three new levels: Ravenscar Keep, Clockwork Island, and the Godwin Estate. The DLC includes new quests, characters, and 250 GamerScore points.
We've also added a bundle of new screens for Traitor's Keep, so take a look if you're interesting in continuing your adventure.

I wonder if this'll be on steam....
lol-
I was going to add that joke in the post. I feared the worst if I did.
-
Yeah, you totally would have. That's why I did, hahahah.

It'll be a games for windows live game. Nothing wrong with that in this case. They've improved it a lot (logging into your profile still SUCKS. Everything else is fine)

That would be like bundling Netscape in Windows 98, or Firefox in Windows 7. DOGFOOD FOREVAR!!

Each of the Fable games takes 2 steps forward and 3 steps back. 3 is a lot like 2 but they simplified the combat even more and removed a lot of the NPC interaction stuff, but added some nice stuff like the property management map.

Hmm I might actually be interested if the hardcore mode is any good.

I enjoyed both Fable 1 and Fable 2 and while Fable 3 is technically very similar to 2 I really didn't find myself enjoying it that much. I plan to sell it or trade it at some point.
-
Fable 3 was amazing in one way. They somehow managed to take the work they did on Fable 2 and retroactively half-ass it.
-
I liked 2 better. F3 looks nice and it's easier to manage property, but deterioration mechanic is lame. I guess all that gold needs to be spent somewhere.
-
That's good, although I'll probably wait for the bargain bin.
-
This falls into the "why bother" catagory.

Achievement Unlocked!

And microsoft will point to the failure of Fable 3 for the pc as a reason why they don't port their better games.
-
Microsoft only has their self to blame if fails. If they had released the PC port at the same time as the 360 version when interest was still high for the game it probably would do better.
The continual delays and platform exclusive DLC is what is going to hurt ports like this.

Its about time.

i guess since ive never played 2 this will be worth picking up, after it hits the bargain bin

I didn't think fable 3 was BAD, necessarily. I thought that it was a little ... constrained. I wish they'd just go the full retard with the open world idea, rather than the semi-open world feeling.
I enjoyed the idea of the vault quite a bit in Fable 3, and I also enjoyed the rise to power part of the plot ... but without spoiling it too much, the "rise to power" part of the game is really only the first half of the game, and the second half isn't nearly as compelling (unfortunately).
Still, it's eye pleasing, and it's fun. Worth a bargain purchase for sure.
