Fable 2 PC Imminent - Chalk Up Another Lost 360 Exclusive ;)

[QUOTE="obamanian"]

Still, every rumor is pure speculation and can be 100% fake, Fable 2 rumor is confirmed many times now as fake, so just don't hold your breath, it is never happening as it seems

I know the Fable 2 rumor is fake, it is obvious

So, we agree as it seems

[QUOTE="obamanian"]

Gears 2 came to PC ?

Nope

Hewkii

This shot down long ago ? Thread should have been locked but since any old rumor is fair game. I heard PC is losing an exclusive as........

Diablo 3 is coming to 360 !! :D

That should be sufficient to start a thread and have it go umteen pages long - right. ? :P

Even if this is true:

1. Its still not on PS3.

2. Your still supporting MS cause itll be GFW LIVE.

3. 360 still has more total AAA, AA, and A then PS3.

"Lionhead Studios just sent word over to us that Fable II might not be officially confirmed by the publisher Microsoft, but they pretty much can give everyone the good news:

"Fable II has been an enormous success on the Xbox 360. A Fable II for PC users would be likely imminent. Keep checking back with us for more updates."

There you have it. PC users get ready for a new game soon from Lionhead Studios."

Can't wait to play this in higher rez and better controls than the beta testers, :lol:

[QUOTE="the1stmoonfly"] See there you did again .. using an imaginary word console exclusive [QUOTE="the1stmoonfly"] PC gamers probably dont want a 360 anyway and those that do will already have a 360 so console sales still remain unaffected by the port. Some PC gamers may want to play the game but the chances are that these wont buy a 360 anyway just for Fable if they dont already own one, as its a very expensive way to play one game and so console sales are still hugely unaffected, plus these kind of PC gamers generally stick with PC as they dont like consoles anyway. Some PC gamers that have a 360 already may decide to wait for any possible PC release if thats where they prefer to play a game, console sales remain unaffected and MS gain software sales profits by porting the game. naval

That last bit is the important bit, MS stand to gain more from a timed release of a port than they stand to lose, which is why they do it. Chalk it up as a lost 360 exclusive if you want but lookig at the big picture it simply makes you stand out as a 360 hater thats doing nothing more than bashing the 360 at every excuse they can. I'm not favouring the 360, it just bugs me when people hate on stuff simply because they dont prefer it.the1stmoonfly

Uh...sorry to crush your dreams and all but...

It may still happen somewhere down the line but not any time soon.

It's not about whether or not games remain solely on the 360... it's about whether or not PS3 users ever get to play them, which, in the great majority of instances such as the one you now describe with Fable 2, don't end well for PS3 users.

So having an 'exclusive' 360 game appear on PC doesn't change its status an an exclusive unless it also releases on PS3. It's about denying the other side OF THE CONSOLE WAR great games. PCs don't enter into it, and don't threaten 360 owners one iota.

[QUOTE="obamanian"] there is no Gears of War for PC, the rumor is confirmed fake.Hewkii

Right now the rumor is false, Gears =/=Fable 2. I could say why own a PC when Supreme Commander, Red Alert 3, and Fallout 3 is also on the 360. That also means that all other of the PC games are going to the 360, no matter what the devs said. Or not listing MGS4 as a PS3 AAAAE because some random blog said it will come to the 360.

Right now Fable 2 is only for the 360. That may change, it may not.
