I honestly have no idea now. Microsoft is just all fluff as far as I'm concerned.

LMAO I completely forgot about Fable 3... either way, it's Peter Molyneux, he's known to break promises, so I wouldn't be surprised if he also lied about Fable 3 coming to PC. They might be porting 2 as well, since it doesn't really make sense having Fable 1 and then 3 on PC... w/e though, so many other good RPGs are coming out that will most probably overshadow Fable 3.

I highly doubt it - the game was an overwhelming disappointment for the majority of the critics and reviewers, which, undoubtedly, left a noticeable dent on the sales.

I don't see any way for the devs to fix a game with fundamental flaws at the very core of the gameplay, and therefor, I don't see any reason for them to invest into a port that isn't going to sell.

I predict that they're just gonna cut their losses, and instead make an effort into an entirely new direction.

Though, hopefully, not before they relieve Peter Molyneux from his position of lead designer. That prick is just incapable of learning from his own mistakes, and has no business leading anything, let alone a project with actual finantial interests behind it...

I wouldnt be suprised if they cancel it. However there has been gameplay videos on the pc version. Lets wait a bit more. In any case, they gotta change half of the game, in its current state, the game is pretty bad.

Keep in mind that roughly a month prior to the release, both the console and the PC version were set to be out on the same day, so I doubt that would make such promises without having the PC version at least partially ready.

As it turned out in the end, I assume they just decided not to put all their eggs in the same basket, and delayed the PC version a bit to see how the game sells on consoles. And since we all know that didn't work out all that well, I bet they just decided to can the project altogether...

Well, unless they do some monumental facelift of the entire game, the only left going for it is the beautiful art design, and it's just not worth more than 20$ in my book...

Tell me about it, they need to fix the story, Zero punctuation explains why. They need to fix the meele combat, the overpowered magic, add skills, add more interaction options with the npc, kill the bazzilion of loadings, add a minimap or some indication on the map to show you where you are, get rid of the sanctuary and bring back the damn inventory and finally get all the dlcs in the disk because i dont wanna have problem playing coop because i dont have the same dlcs installed. Oh and the weapon upgrade is idiotic. Kill your friend in coop to upgrade your evilness in the weapon.

they cant... Its broken to the core. They would have to recode like 50% of the game. Its abit to expensive for a game that probably wont sell that good even if they remake it that much.

The only reason that could explain the delay is to change a good percentage of the game. Fable 3 has SO many issues. It's ridiculous.

If you're correct, then screw Fable 3. So many great games coming out this year. If it weren't for these threads popping up on Fable 3 I would have completely forgotten about it. Thanks.

They must redesign most part of the game to make it succesful among PC gamers.

According to Major Nelson (some bigwig on xbox apparently but I have never heard of him) we can expect Fable 3 on the PC come 17th May 2011 :-

Fable III for WindowsLaunching in the US on May 17, Fable II for Windows takes gamers back to Albion for the next installment of the beloved Fable franchise. Players can take advantage of the same great action found on the console game as well as a full 3-D functionality made possible by NVIDIA technology and a PC-exclusive hardcore mode which offers a higher level of difficulty.Major Nelson

We'll see how long that date holds up... but it's great to see that our buddy Geralt will completely overshadow Fable 3 PC, crippling it and sending it to the gates of hell.

Tbh there are lots of reasons out on the net why the game is bad. And yes its true. It might be a good time filler if they sell it for 5$ or so. But i would not pay more then that for the game.

Yes, the release date is May 17th, you can confirm this in my own thread or BigDownload.com. Unfortunately, it's competing with The Witcher 2 and Dungeon Siege 3, along with the long-awaited Duke Nukem Forever.
