I'd say great news. But Fable 1 was very boring. As for Fable 2, even when it was exclusive, was also very weak.

Nothing worthwhile has come out of Mlyneux for over a decade, I wish he'd just stfu, crawl in a hole and disappear already.

I wish you would too.

Except that in my short stay here and from the few posts he has made his are probably 10 times the quality of yours on average. This exchange is another perfectly good example of that. Molyneux hasn't done anything great since Dungeon Keeper, and I think that was 97 or 98, which is over a decaded now. Your repsonse to it however was nothing short of IQ-reducing idiocy. Unless you are 5 years old, then I am sorry for the offense since then you are just acting your natural age.

Oh my God, there's more of them. What attracts console hating PC fanboys to a console hardware and software sales tracking site I'll never know.

I take everything I said back, you do indeed seem to be 5, and I wonder how you are even able to read. Look at the title bar of this in your browser and tell me what comes up. In fact even the iPhone is up there.

 

@Garnett

My PC was $1k 2 or 3 years ago and it's far more powerfu than either of the consoles and it runs games that look far better. The components currently cost around $400 tops. Oh yeah, it also has a Blu-Ray burner before you start with that whole thing.

 

Damn 1 thousand dollars 3 years ago?

 

You could of gotten a trey for like $500 and $600 with a blue ray, or even a 360 for cheaper than that. I mean sure your PC is more powerful but is there anything really to show? Console games look almost as good as Crysis.

Umm...400 dollar today PC can not run games that are better looking than consoles.

I have a GTX295 video card and the damn thing alone cost me more than a PS3 would. Yes it runs Crysis maxed out at 30-40 frames per second and that looks better than any game on consoles...but my PC cost 1500 bucks to build.

If you want to run anything that totally blows away the consoles...you need to spend 1000 bucks at least. Hell, getting something middle of the road like a GTS250 or 4850 will put you in a hole 150 bucks...which is almost the price of the whole Xbox360 and it games won't look any better.

Try running Crysis Warhead on "Gamer" setting (don't even bother with enthusiast setting) with those cards and let me know how it turns out...

So it might not be a 360 exclusive eh?

Sad day for fanboys, good day for gamers, I might give it a go if it comes to PC

Isn't the GTX295 known for being a bit overpriced (as well as very powerful). I thought you could get a near equivalent ATI card for a lot cheaper, which would also bring down the cost of your PC. Also, don't forget that for the price you also get a lot more functionality than just better graphics. It all depends on what you want. I know I couldn't survive without a PC, so it's convenient for me to use it for a lot of my games too.

If it is released it'd be a bit weird, with the PC not having Fable 2 released yet. But it would make sense if MS are feeling a bit threatened by Steam, especially with the new Mac support. It's a shame GFWL is so crap. It completely ruined Fallout 3 for me, even though I got 100% acheivements on it.

Well we keep being told that sequels of games already released on the 360 don't push hardware so it's not a big loss surely?

While I'm glad that PC gamers wil get to play it on one hand, there is the trade off that this would mean the engine isn't refined to take advantge of the 360 hardware fully for yet another first party title. I'm starting to get a bit fed up of Microsoft's unwillingness to invest the time and money it's loyal fanbase deserve that have put up with a lot this generation (especially in terms of hardware reliability).

The ATI's equivalent card to that is 4870x2. You really can't find those for sale any more but if you do...they will be about 500 bucks.

There really isn't a cheap option. Games that are developped for consoles and Pc at the same time are more sensible...and can be enjoyed with lesser video graphics hardware...but those PC games don't blow away the console ports in visuals unless they are played on very high settings, which low end video cards can't do. Games that do showcase PC superiority...like Crysis, Metro 2033...unless you spend 300 bucks on the video card alone, forget it.  A graphics card under 150 bucks won't be able to run Metro 2033 at its lowest settings at 30 frames per second @ 720p. Frame rate will be in the low 20s and that is pretty unplayable in my eyes. And I can guarantee you that the 360 version of Metro 2033 looks better than a PC version running on ATI4650 or 9600GT video cards.

If true, I would say it's an attempt to combat companies like Valve/Blizzard supporting Mac and even Linux. MGS used to be a pivotal asset in making PC gaming seem like a Windows only affair, but now Lionhead has gone Xbox exclusive and they shut down Ensemble and Aces. That leaves it to third parties, and as Sony knows, you can't leave it to third parties to carry your banner for you.

It would probably also have the dual aim of making Natal popular with the PC crowd (assuming Fable III substantially supports Natal in some way).

Seems silly to bring Fable III to PC and not Fable II, however. I doubt this would happen.

That's what you get for going bleeding edge.  I felt pretty silly when I spent $550 on a 7900gtx four years ago, and it was soundly trumped by cards that came out six months later.

I just upgarded my PC for about $500 total, including a 1tb HDD.  I went with a Radeon 5750, and I max Crysis (vanilla - haven't tried Warhead yet) at 1080p around 30fps.  Almost as good as your card, but a third of the price.

1. Please tell me a card that "trumps" the gtx295. A few cards beat it in some bench mark by a little but they are the same price if not more.

2. 5750 vs gtx295...You really want to make this comparison? and say almost as good as gtx295? I've not tried the 5750, but from most benchmarks its between GTS250 and GTX260(both of which I've had). I dare you to install FRAPS on your machine and run Crysis maxed at 1080p. You won't like the frame rate you see... Here is a comparable benchmark at 1680x1050 which isn't even Crysis Warhead at max settings. Benchmarks for Crysis 1 and Warhead are usually within 5% of each other...

And on top of that, your card should be around 150 bucks retail...which alone is almost the price of 360 arcade. The power supply, mobo, ram, hard drive, case will cost you another 400 bucks.
