Molynexusxexagggex111eleven or whatever his name is, said that so far they haven't given any consideration to it and they might just put it on consoles (please note: This information is to my knowledge so it isn't 100% valid). Though you know if a GOOD game is on the Xbox360, what does Microsoft do? Port it over to PC.

They did that with the original Fable but Im not shelling our 300 bucks to buy a 360 just to play Fable 2.

Same with me of course, don't worry it will come around soon enough. Like GTA4 to PC and Halo 2 to PC. Everything is falling into place.

I would be very surprised not to see it on PC in a year or so with some sort of extra levels and areas with it...

They will probably do the same thing as they did last time. Bring it out on PC with additional content and then bring that out on the xbox.

They probably will, and add some new stuff.

Sucks if you have to wait, but also if you get it for 360 as we miss content.

Don't worry though they will eventually port it, this is Microsoft after all.

With PCs you really dont have the constraints that the consoles have. But how long will the wait be? Assassin's Creed came out 6 months for PC after it's console release, same with Mass Effect.

Probably under a year, but not by much. It sucks for Pc gamers but they're gonna be lazy with the port, even with more content.

Yeah, but they were both 3rd party developers, so they had a little more freedom over it. The games where Microsoft own the developer usually take an age to come out on the PC. Look at Halo 2 for an example. And what about Halo 3? It's not too hard for me to imagine something like that happening in the case of Fable II.

But I heard Lionhead wasn't going to use Microsoft as pubslisher and they were going to do all the work themselves.

Though some companies have worries about porting to PCs. Piracy is the main offender according to some press released but a lot of companies can't be bothered with some ports and ports can suffer from bad performance on PCs when not configured properly. Eg: Assassins Creed, Mercenaries 2.

Is that so? Hmm. Remember though, Peter Molyneux does get ahead of himself quite a bit, along with the rest of Lionhead.

We all know the Piracy and PC gaming are roommates nowadays. I for one never pirate anything off the internet I dont trust it. I dont know why companies just dont follow Stardock model of business and only offer patchs and support to people who own a valid CD Key. Stardock is the only publisher who forgoes copy protection.

I laughed, very much.

Fable 1 came out on the PC about a year (?) after the Xbox version, so it's more than likely you'll get a port a while after Fable 2 comes out. However if you're asking if there's a PC version coming out the same time as the 360 version then no, I'm afraid.

I wonder, how many games were made for the PC and ported to the consoles afterwards? :p

To the above - Halo for one.

If PC Gaming is in bed with piracy now what's the difference with console gaming? Most people I know who have consoles use pirated games.

Halo 1 for the PC came about 2 years later than the xbox version... :/
