Trailers: Fable 3: PC Developer Diary

[Abedeus]

I'm going with my inner cynic and say - haw haw, not going to fool me again. Not a port my ass.

Also, delaying release also for 3D? Didn't he just say they are adding hardcore mode?

Forgot to mention Games for Windows Live...

HOLY GOD-DARNED CAMEL SPIT, MICROSOFT ARE SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY. - Alec Meer

I know it's on steam, but you're still required to be connected to GFWL. One of the first things I checked on steam.

Sadly, it gets worse

3rd-party DRM: SecuROM (5 activations per month)

I really, really want to support this game since they seem sincere in making an actual game instead of a straight port, but I refuse to allow SecuROM on my system. Hopefully they'll come to their senses and realize GFWL is more than enough.

In my opinion SucuRom isn't THAT bad since it's 5 activations per month, how or why would I activate it more than that per month? What developers need to realize is that GFWL is shit and stop using the damn thing. THQ and Relic finally stopped using it and chose steam instead with the most recent Dawn of War II title.

Should I be ashamed that I paid most of my attention to the beautiful music from the original fable rather than what the devs were talking about? :/

Paul Wright sounds like a Welshman
Doesn't he? ...sound like a Welshman?

 

[Waaghpowa]

What? The issue isn't activations, it's the use of SecuROM itself along with two other DRMs (GFWL and Steam) alongside as well.

Oh I know, was just commenting on SecuRom. But yes, the fact that they have to put so many DRM's on top of each other is just gratuitous.

Not at all. Seriously that was probably the least interesting developer diary ever. I have to adimitt that the game has a somewhat interesting art style, but porting a below avarage quality RPG to PC hardly makes me reach for my wallet especially in a year like this one.

Bah, I'm gonna HAVE to buy it to be honest. Fable: TLC was pretty much my introduction to RPG's. It has a very special place in my heart. So I have to play Fable 3 aswell.

 

[dropZero]

That one dude who couldn't remember anything that he was supposed to say should have been edited out of the developer diary. lol.

 

[A_who]

OH so much irony, they said they were proud of the control improvements but honestly i felt like fable 3 sucked when I played on xbox360, and it will probably still suck compare to fable I.

 

[blippity]

I don't care if the graphics are better and they've changed the controls, the game still needs improvements on storyline and better execution of ideas.

 

[Carlston]

Honestly this game needed a mission randomizer like good ol Daggerfall.

It was grossly short, and damn near pointless...

I felt nothing for any character, the world just seems so limited in every way...

The weapons were lame, the over extended switch of gear just ticked me off. For a 6 hour game, 1 of those hours is in the magical pocket dimension changing gear.

Oh and the lame totally good/evil choice system was pathetic as well...

When 4 comes out, i'll get it from the bargain bin.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

"We definitely like PC version more than console"..such load of bs as well as all the sugar coating,thinking that they will get a few extra buyers.

Also,bad move with releasing it in the same day as Witcher 2,that will most likely suck for them.

 

[Bobbity]

Improvements?! Fable 1 was by far the best game in the series, no matter how shiny Fable 3's graphics are.

 

[Cybele]

Now what about Fable 2?

 

[waraks]

Fable 1:good but overhyped
Fable 2:what they said fable 1 wwas gona be
Fable 3:the final blow to what couldhave been a great franchise ...im still getting it when it
comes out though (im a lionhead fanboy)

 

[The_Puppy_Prince]

Ive played all of then in some form or another and ive loved em all
and its quite annoying to see all these people complain
I just want it to come out and hopefully i can run it

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

All of that really just sounds like a sugarcoated port....... maybe a good port, not the stuff Ubisoft and Rockstar shit out...... but a port nonetheless.

 

[mexicola]

There is a girl near a PC at the end of the video - hottttt!!!!

But on a serious note: I liked Fable TLC so I might give this one a chance. The biggest hurdle F3 will face on the way to my hdd is whether I can run it on my 3 year old can or not.

 

[brazuca]

Why get this game when the witcher 2 is soo close, sorry fable team. You tried, god knows you tried.

 

[archvile93]

I don't know why anyone still cares about this. If this game actually turns out to function even half decently and like they put more than the bare minimum effort it takes to modify a console game for a PC, I will be extremely shock to the point that my mind will have to reboot itself.

 

[Luke Cartner]

Not sure why they bothered, I mean PC gamers tend to not really be into games as short as fable if the multiplayer is as poor as fable 3's is.
Any pc player who hasn't already played it on ps3 or xbox 360 I recommend playing Din's curse instead... Or Build another castle in minecraft (Takes about the same amount of time to do as actually play fable 3)
