Lionhead has lit up the gaming sites this morning because of their blog post (
found here).
Fable 3 has been confirmed for PC exclusively on Games on Demand on
Games for Windows – LIVE. This move confuses me because
Fable 2 never made it to the PC. Does that mean we'll see the second game making its way onto the service as well?
Finally, their post also contains details about what will be contained in the Standard and Limited Collector's Edition for the 360. These are pictured below.
Fable 3 will be priced at $49.99 (PC), $59.99 (standard, 360), and $79.99 (collectors, 360) this holiday season.
Personally,
Fable 2 was extremely disappointing to me. It just didn't hit the pleasure center like the original. Since
Fable 3 is a massive change (again), I'm curious to see how it plays.
