Fable 3 no longer exclusive to Xbox 360?

http://kotaku.com/5539469/fable-iii-box-art-proclaims-only-on-xbox-360--windows

ouch, that's not going to be a good outcome if this turns out to be true considering this, Alan Wake (which did not meet hype, but is still a great game) and Halo: Reach were supposed to be the 360's 3 big hitters.

Edit: WOW, Lemmings were hasty to jump on the Damage Control Train with this, seriously.

Still no proper confirmation, well, I guess the job listing counts.

Fable was cool, if flawed. Fable 2 sucked. Don't care about Fable 3.

Oh boo hoo! I guess Cows can have another field day with this one considering that it may also be developed for Microsoft WINDOWS!

This is why the whole "exclusives are the only thing that matters" argument is completely flawed here on System wars. Microsoft supports both the 360 ad PC, so naturally you are going to get a load of games from them that will appear on both those platforms and nowhere else.

Does this give the 360 an advantage over the PS3? Certainly. These PC/360 "exclusives" can be just as advantageous for the 360 as proper exclusives are for the PS3.

yeah, i feel it would have been a better franchise overall if Peter Molyneux had stopped hyping the living **** out if it from the beginning, and instead concentrated on actually making a good game.

AncientDozer

What's even more funny is that the developer of the game is ALSO owned by Microsoft!

I know. SUCH a blow. MICROSOFT WINDOWS and MICROSOFT XBOX 360. . oh, the end of exclusivity. . !AncientDozer

yeah...this has been said multiple times, but this is System Wars, notCompany Wars.

DCing already? this hasn't even been confirmed.

seriously, Xbox 360 owners, save it for if this actually is confirmed to be true at E3 2010.

Even though I only own a PS3, you make a good point. Even with that said PC/360 < PS3 when it comes to exclusives imo.

Yeah use a game who's developer is owned by the same publisher, and try to claim it as a blow. :roll:

lemmings need to get over the fact that pc/360 games arnt exclusive.

MS committed self ownage.Parasomniac

yeah, i don't know why they seem intent on hurting themselves, considering they've been trying to raise the exclusive count on the Xbox 360 from last year, but yet they turn around and knock off Fable 3?

you would think if that wasn't a certainty they'd atleast try to push for a 2010 release with Gears of War 3, but you'd be wrong.

Cows need to learn that when developer who is owned by Microsoft, chooses to release a game on more than 1 platform, it's a good thing and not a blow. If you think otherwise you're being ridiculous.

Like Sony did with MLB and Little Big planet?ohthemanatee

MLB 10 is admittedly not exclusive, I'm pretty sure LittleBigPlanet is though.

and stop with the DC.

yet another thread ruined by the "b-b-but, it's not on PS3!" mentality.

And better yet is the fact that you're already claiming self-ownage and damage controll even though nothing is confirmed.

Are you really THAT desperate?

How is damage control? If Fable 3 being on the PC and 360 is microsoft Self-Owning then Sony has been self-owning itself for the last 4 years. But I guess that's just too much logic now is it?ohthemanatee

yeah, because bringing the PS3 into a topic about Fable 3, a game that is rumoured to not be exclusive to the Xbox 360, is definitely not DC.

seriously, the Lemming count in this thread is escalating to an unheard level.

chill out.

Right, because stating that Microsoft launching a Microsoft game on two microsoft systems is "hurting themselves"

And on top if it all, stating that considering that none of this has been confirmed.

If anything you're just now realizing how flawed your original argument is and now you're passing logic as "Damage controll"

[Job Listing]

That's really interesting. Didn't Molyneux say Fable would support Natal - I wonder if this means Natal will be one of those cross platform peripherals.

Exclusives aren't everything. Some of the best games this gen are multiplats.

It's funny reading some of the comments on both sides though :lol:

ohthemanatee

yeah, that'd all be nice if i had actually mentioned the PS3.

it's DC because you are trying to negate potential damage to the Xbox 360 by either saying that "it doesn't matter, PC and Xbox 360 are brothers!" or even worse using the mentality that you can throw around PS3 comparisons in order to take the attention away.

SoRawr2

How exactly does it the fact MIGHT come to the PC hurt Microsoft? Because now they can't claim ownage on system wars?

Better yet, they're hurting themselves? Based on a rumour? Of them potentialy doubling their sales and influence? Do I even need to explain how ludicrous this is?

And now you're claiming anyone who used Logic to a lemming?...well... I guess then that means cows never use logic then

So now people who show up with logic in your thread are automatically lemmings? :lol: Oh dear, if you had've just posted the news (which is old btw, there have already been a few threads on this) then it would have been OK, but you decided to post your opinion on the matter too, which might I add is obvious cow opinion.Anjunaddict

wow, my hypocrisy meter is rising :lol:.

where did i ever even mention the PS3, before multiple known Lemmings stormed this thread with the tried and true "PC and Xbox 360 are brothers! it doesn't matter!!!", and then turned around to mention LBP and Modnation Racers?

WTF?

what happens to people who didn't play fable 1 and 2?

Oh please. Creating this topic, and then saying this.....

"ouch, that's not going to be a good outcome if this turns out to be true"

Considering that Lionhead Studios the creator of Fable 3 is ALSO owned by Microsoft, I can't see by your logic how this is not a good outcome.

Okay then, explain how this will hurt the Xbox 360? :) And I mean in the real world, not in terms of exclusive counts on system wars.Anjunaddict

no, that'd be stupid because this is System Wars, and not the real world.

seriously, c'mon, atleast attempt to hide the obvious bias :lol:.

last time i checked this was System Wars.

Lemmings apparently are now changing it to "Fanboy Wars" or even worse, "Company Wars".

It hurts the x360 because now people like SoRawr can be like, "omg fable 3 is a worse game because it's on the pc also". Seriously, it's not like they canceled fable 3 or something. Gamers (non cows, at least) still win.
