I'm betting on future downloadable content for the Xbox version that will come with the PC version for free about six months to a year down the road.

Eh, honestly I actually doubt it this time since Molyneux has such a "vandetta" against PC gaming, but if it came I wouldn't be surprised at all.

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... :/
I think what the poster is saying about Halo is that it was originally designed for the Mac & PC, I believe, and then Microsoft bought out Bungie and made Halo for the Xbox. Old school PC gamers will remember that Bungie had made strong headway into the PC community with the Myth games and Halo was really exciting a lot of folks way back when.

As far as PC-to-console ports, there have been several. One of the biggest is undoubtedly Half-Life 2 and the Orange Box.

Xbox and PCs seem to have a love-hate relationship

Occasionally the PC gets a game that everyone is saying will be exclusive...only to then be ported to the 360, and sometimes the 360 gets a game that they say will be exclusive but then it's ported to the PC.

lastly. If the Wii can get a dead rising port how about us PC users?

Oh come on, there are hordes of games on other consoles which never got ported to PC, but all it takes is the possibillity of a proper Xbox 360 exclusive and everyone has to have a sulk. Apparently having to get over any problems in your platform is a thing of the past. I mean, when I see a good PC exclusive I don't whine about how they should make a port, or how thedy could make a port. I enjoy the PC as a gaming platform and all, but I don't see when it was decided that it had to get the best of everything or else it's just not fair.

Err, where did this come from? I saw no one implying this.

No kidding. Nobody is complaining about it dude, chill out. I would like to play Fable 2 on the PC, but if it never happens I'm fine with that too. It looks like it will be good, but not good enough to buy a 360, so I'll just wait and see.

I bought a 360 pretty much so i could stand a chance of playing Fable 2 on release...

*shuffles sideways out of the room...*

It was either that or i apply as a play tester at Lionhead (which i could do because i'm only 45 minutes north of Guildford...) and play it then.
but it'd cost me travel and accomodation expenses, and i don't much like to travel.


But yeah, anyway, likely Lionhead will port it over to the PC, when sales of the console version are down or as someone has undoubtedly said "when they want to put all their extras in"

Although saying that the console players don't get the extras is a bit out of place, considering Lost Chapters was released on Xbox aswell.

But i have faith that they've actually managed to hit the target they've probably set themselves this time and won't have to add anything they had to leave out this time.

But still, i think it will eventually end up on PC.
As has been said before, most games seem to head that way.

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.
Yes but there's a problem with that, eventually other file providers and torrent sites will just upload the patches.

Yeah, sorry about that, bit of a rage overdose. I just feel as if a few people are suggesting that Fable 2 has to have a port to PC, and if it doesn't it's because Peter Moloneux is being an idiot. I'm all for sharing exclusives around (I'm not that much of a scrooge), but it is being suggested that PC gamers shouldn't have to wait. It seems that some PC gamers (no names mentioned) have grown used to gaining any game which comes out for Xbox 360, and the fact that an entire thread was created to ask whether or not it is coming out is testament to this.

We can all agree the answer is 'probably', given Microsoft's track record, but there's no need to ask rhetoric questions on the subject.

There's no way a pc version will be released anytime soon considering the problems they are having orchestrating the xbox 360 release and update fixs.

I don't understand what's going on, on the run up to the release development teams spend a lot of their time working out the bugs and then it goes gold,
I'm slightly annoyed that they decided to rush it.

I hope so, on the condition that it can be scaled down to work on a computer from, like, the 1930s. Otherwise nah, it gives me motivation for getting a 360.
