Peter Molyneux said "Fable III which is almost at its final edit." during an interview with Develop-online. Which makes me wonder....
Fable 1 sold like crazy on the PC... and i would kill for a PC copy, hell im willing to drop up to $70 for one because i want it that bad... as do many others...
Why in gods name ((unless hes in contract with microsoft)) would he not move F2 to the PC? it sounds ridiculous... i mean it almost made me buy a 360... then i remembered that 360's are about as useful and fun a petrified cow pie.
At least he's not a dick like Derek Smart and says his own game is his favorite ever.
Fablle 1 & 2 are owned by Microsoft. Microsoft care little about making money. You will never see Fable 2 and 3 on the PC no matter what frog boy says.Molyneux helped to create this world, let him stew in it.
They are hyping it now, probably to show a demo/gameplay video of it on the next thursday.
EDIT: I did a bit of searching and probably they will show 2 gameplay clips, and the game will be released around christmas.

I third that. I've played just 10 minutes of the 1st game and found it boring.
Still, I really want to see what they will do with it and with the new gimmicks.

Um, you can get Fable for the PC...and for cheap.

Truth. The game is great, conceptually. The problem is that none of the CONCEPTUALLY great stuff ended up working.

I also completely agree. For all the bluster Molyneux spouts about these games, they are incredibly over simplistic. People complain about the choices in BioWare games too often being obvious 'good guy or bad guy' type choices, but the options (or lack thereof) for any interesting character development in the Fable series is a joke.
Wow, I still haven't finished Fable 2 on XBOX 360.

Honestl, the "choices" in the game are nothing more than "Do something insanely evil" or "Do something incredibly good". It's not a game with moral choice, its an angel vs. devil choice.

I seriously stop playing a game that tries to do that. Even the first Mass Effect to a degree was a choice of insanely evil, insanely good, but it also had a neutral mode. Still, it's easy to tell and ruins the role-play aspects more than help it out.
Mass Effect example: Guy had his wife killed in fight against alien robots, wants her body back but can't get it. Asks you to walk in and talk to a guy in bar who is responsible, a politician. The conversation ends up:
A: You threaten him with your status as a Specter and tell him to think twice about chopping up dead soldiers or you'll get him personally
B: Learn that a new weapon was used on these soldiers, and they need as many bodies as possible for a test batch, then you explain to the husband that his wife is kept to save more lives later, even after death
C: Play on the wrongness of holding the body from a man who loved his wife, and you really don't see why he can't honor her death in his own way
Obvious it goes as evil, neutral, and good in that order. I'm mixed on that system, and it's the best one. The ones used in games like Fable, meh. I could do without.
Peter Molyneux actually said in an early interview that it would be released for pc if he could, but pc players should not excpect much D:
I played the first game in 2006 on PC without knowledge of all the hype and broken promises. Who cares? It's a Zelda clone with an over the top morality system! This is normally known as win. Sure, it's a very flawed game, but it's a lot of fun up to and including the point where things start to go downhill.
...and yes, I did buy my last game console solely because I wanted to play a Zelda game. Wind Waker is also flawed, although is significantly different ways.
Having gone back and read some of the old hype, I can see why people were so disappointed about Fable, though. What I don't get is how anyone was disappointed about Fable 2. I mean, we already know Molyneux just says stuff, and we also knew what Fable 1 was like. This said, I will buy a PC version of Fable 2 if it ever surfaces.
