Fable 3 PC system requirements revealed, your highness

@xiLeShadow

Maybe because this was made separately & not just ported from the 360?

@xiLeShadow

Oh yeah, & check this out too

@xiLeShadow Consoles tend to have ALOT more optimization.

I laugh at the fact that the "minimum" video card is a 4-year old card, while the recommended is a fairly recent one.

Like they expect it at ALL to run on that minimum card.

note to self: read post before you comment

@AkumaFTW You are. You're.

@Halfcentaur

Herp derp, I think he got that.

@b4dmash

I bet your the guy who reads reviews religiously, right?

@Prboi Don't really have to read the reviews. Played the game and highly disappointed with the story and the new magic system.

@Prboi

Think of it this way: Joystiq, who honored Fable 2 with their GOTY in 2008, were slightly disappointed with with Fable 3. I haven't played Fable 3 myself, but I've played Fable 2, and what a stride-backward in enjoyment it must feel going from 2 to 3. My point is: People should trust Joystiq's review, they take the franchise seriously.

@Prboi
i personally don't feel cheated about any particular release on the pc. I have deeply enjoyed them despite their "shortcomings". I enjoyed Dragon Age II, and having fun with Crysis 2.

My problem is that there aren't any games that challenge high end PC's these days which eliminates the justification behind buying those high end video cards. I Mean its a good thing that these games are accessible to the mid->low end user but the guys who invested for that quality experience just isn't getting what they paid for. Crysis was supposed to be that game but it isnt anymore.

I Mean Nvidia just put out the GTX 500 series video card that can cost up to a whopping $800 for one alone and yet there's currently nothing in the market that challenge that card much less a 400 series card.

@vask If anyone feels cheated then they're an idiot. Not having software that pushes your hardware for some time comes with the territory of being an early adopter.

@Prboi

They pay for every upgrade, so they want the best bangs for their bucks.

@Prboi Learn about fallacy, and how to make a reasonable and logical observation.

@Prboi
I love it when console gamers try and "analyze" PC gamers. Oddly enough, they always come up with silly conclusions like "they're shallow", "they only care about good graphics", "they're elitist", etc.

Here's a tip: If you're making baseless assumptions about a console you don't own, you're an ignorant who shouldn't be talking. I could sit here and explain exactly why your logic is piss poor, but chances are if you've managed to be this ignorant for this long you wouldn't even bother to read what I'd have to say anyway.

@PointlessPuppies
*about hardware you don't own, of course.

@vask

Obviously your not playing in 3D. 3D pushes the envelope with your graphics cards. 3D is also mind blowing in Crysis 2 and Metro 2033 in 3D is awesomeness. I just got my 3D setup and all I can say is wow. Also the games play way better on a PC with 120 hz monitors and 120 fps compared to a consoles barely 30 fps. It's like comparing a Ferrari to a Hyundai.

@Faceless Troll
true, but if the 600 series is right around the corner then i wouldn't exactly call the 500 series card owners early adopters. A lot of the games that came out only recommend a 200 series and above so not even the 400 series is even necessary and those cards are almost 2 years old as well. There also goes to say with SLI setups as well which are pointless to have with current gen gaming from what i can see.

@Imaxxgold

I own a 120hz ACER monitor the 120hz is awesome i do admit but the same could be said with a 120hz tv with console games. Its Quick and smooth i honestly don't think Ive had an experience like it until i got mine. I do play in 3d every once and awhile and barely got lag with games in 3d as i was using a dual SLI 470 setup, i don't use it regularly since the games i play aren't fully optimized for the 3d vision others just irritate my eyes over time so i keep it off in most cases. But 3d isn't really much of a graphical enhancement to the game but more like a add on effect for the game which i don't feel justifies all the power that is contained in a single card.

Just with these lower requirements it makes me wonder why bother keeping up with higher end cards that are released literally every year when games haven't even pushed the lower ones yet

@vask Then maybe they should buy systems according to their actual needs and not just for the sake of having the most powerful hardware out there? I've got a Radeon HD 5570 in my machine and it's perfectly capable of running most games maxed out.

@Mister Darcy

Hypocrite.

@kojo87

The 4870 is basically slightly better then a 5770.

The 4870 has more "oomf" factor, but the 5770 is better optomised.

The 500 series has been out for awhile now with the 600 series coming out the end of this year. A single 580 does not out perform metro 2033. Metro 2033 destroys current single cards.

@ShadowXIII

Silence you! Obviously 'super-stache.

Its made out of fkn steel wool or somethin.

@The Only Girl

(attaches 9-volt battery and runs)

@RogueJedi86

Why would they list GFWL in hardware requirements?

@This Little Man Says His Name Is

Usually when a game requires other software, the system requirements mention them. I see it on Steam for GFWL games all the time. It comes out in barely a month, it'd be a good time to tell us along with those hardware requirements.

@RogueJedi86

They already have said it's using GFWL.

@Amalfitano

Hell, you could say that about the transition from Fable 1 to Fable.

@TheChezDispenser

Haha funny thing about that is that I never played Fable I! So you might be absolutely right. I just popped in my friend's Fable II and loved it. I still feel bad for that animated dog of mine...

You think I would enjoy the first one?
