Molyneux hints at Fable III for PC News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360

As does job posting.

Various hints dropped by Peter Molyneux and Lionhead point to a PC version of Fable III.

"There are some things we haven't seen," Molyneux told GameSpot. "We still haven't talked to the world about Natal. We still haven't talked to the world about co-op and what we're doing with co-op.

"We still haven't really talked about, 'Are there any other platforms for Fable that we should be talking about now?'"

That last question tied in with a swiftly edited Lionhead job posting (seen by VG247 on Blue's News) advertising for a network programmer whose job "involves converting and maintaining the network code of the Xbox 360 version of this game to the PC, and enabling the Xbox 360 version and the PC version to play together".

Various Fable III bits and bobs have tumbled from GDC 2010: new screenshots, confirmation of John Cleese as a butler, and various musings about how well Natal will work with the game.

Check out Ellie's slightly mad Eurogamer interview with Peter Molyneux for more.

If they make it (and don't cripple it with some hairbrained form of DRM that prevents people from playing a single player game when a remote server in another country gets DDoS'ed...), I'll buy it. If they don't, then... we can't. I did hope they'd port Fable 2, I did enjoy it when I played it on the 360.

If they're going to pull this off, then Fable II needs to come out now!

Oh wow, they are looking to do cross platform. That can be pretty hard to get working and a pain in the arse to test. But if it works, pretty awesome.

I'd certainly be more interested in buying Fable III if it was available on the PC but really it depends how good the game is. Fable II was a big improvement over the disappointing first game on the Xbox but it still fell short of my expectations though. Could be a case of third time lucky though...

I wonder if we'll ever see a game where Xbox 360 users, PS3 users and PC users can all come together and play in the same game?

@mkreku:
No, Sony and MS hate each other. Either console and PC = fine, but both consoles in one area? OH NOES.

I wonder if they are going to do Natal on Windows too?

cross-platform works pretty fine in Lost Planet.

"There are some things we haven't seen,"

Like Fable 2 on the PC you mean? I know Molyneux wants to talk up Fable 3 as much as he can at the moment but let's be honest, announcing that Fable 3 may be coming to PC while ignoring the fact that Fable 2 hasn't been ported yet is just going to disappoint those that are still waiting for it.

That's it MS, even less exclusive IPs for the 360 is just what it needs.

For fuck's sake.

Nice. The Fable series is the only reason I miss a 360, but I would never buy a console just for one single series. This is great news!
