Very. I get really tired of Microsoft and Lionhead's on-again-off-agan support for PC with these games. I wished they'd given them the full attention they deserve for all platforms or had just made it an XBOX exlusive to begin with.

Dunno, would be nice on pc. But still, I like the upgrade. And I found that game to be fun. Will get it, And wish for a PC version that i could mod.

I'm wondering if this has anything to do with Pete's departure:

"Guys, guys, I've got a great idea for a new game that really reacts to your every deed."

"That's lovely Pete, but we have decided to make the first Fable in HD."

"This will be great though. If the Kinect sees you picking your nose, the townsfolk like you less."

"Yeah, nice but...they are giving us money. Lots."

"I'll get me coat."

Except the fact there completely re-doing the entire graphic engine, sound design, UI, and adding achievements and more.

There are people who wake up in the middle of the night screaming as a result of that.

Maybe they'll add an option to switch him off.

Probably not, but I can dream...

Edit: If they do, I might actually forgive them for making Fable 2

Pretty cool, but I won't pay more than 20-30 bucks for it.

At the most I would pay 40.

I'd look forward to seeing Jack in this remake for sure, but at least on the PC you can disable the Guildmasters voice.. if they ever decide to release this for PC and it has good reviews, I see myself getting it considering how much fun I've had with TLC.

Maybe they will make some new addons as well. Would be nice to be able to marry briar rose (if i remember her name right) And recruit more ladies for the cathouse.

The original PC version can already be modded.

I remember playing and enjoying the original Fable on PC. it was a long time ago, but I liked some of the concepts that were never really built upon in the dumbed down sequels, I don't know that i'll pick it up on launch, but would eventually grab it after a price drop or used.

There seems to be quite a trend of graphical updates for that generation of games... Kingdom Hearts 1.5, Final Fantasy X and Fable all getting HD remakes this year... devil may cry, Metal Gear Solid, Hitman and Halo already have theirs out.

I wish these companies would spend their time making new innovative games rather than trying to bank on nostalgia and pumping out the remakes... I guess it's a sign of the times that graphics make and break a title and if they want to put out new sequels to these old games they need to have the originals in HD.

The first one was okay. Not really a big deal to miss out on an HD remake to me.

Exclusively on Xbox 360

Nope, sorry. If it was coming to PC I'd grab it.

I'm actually a fan of the whole Fable series, I just love the over-the-topness the series brings. It's nice to see Fable getting its recognition as a great game, especially since most people associate Fable (series) with Molyneux lies and overhyped gameplay. I personally won't get this though, because I think the graphics on the PC version are actually kind of nice.

Wouldn't it be easier to just state which few things - if any - are still alive? Besides 24.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V7QWknxeFc I absolutely LOVED Fable 1 and then TLC! I still have it for Xbox and love to play it from time to time. I'll be getting it for sure. I only wished that Fable 2-3 actually followed the rich lore that there was for that series. Such a waste.

omg no way

im moving out next month and have to leave my old xbox behind (the only reason wanting to take it being this game)

BEST NEWS EVAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's not dead to you beside's rockstar?

p.s they better use the little map with the gold coin showing where to go still... i hate the golden trail :l

Cool, but I wish they would fix some of the problems that the original game had. For example, I feel like it forced you to play as a good guy. You got rewarded with "good" points every time you defended yourself against a monster, and it forced you to take on quests you didn't want to like when you had to escort those three traders before you could continue with the main story. Also things like aging, getting fat, and the economy weren't even noticeable in the first one unless you knew those features were in the game. Fable 2 & 3 improved on pretty much everything.

Still, I might pick this up for $15-20. I still has TLC on original Xbox.

Doesn't look that much better if I'm honest.
