New Fable Screens

[Professor S]

I'm not sure if everyone's seen these yet, but I'm pretty sue they haven't been posted here. I picked the ones I thought were the best examples of how much variety you can put into your character.

This really has nothing to do with my character theme, but I just dig anything with Zombies.

[Canyarion]

nice! :D

[Professor S]

One reply? Thats it? Isn't there anyone else who is excited about this game thats coming out in a month after 5 years of develoment and delays???

Or maybe, is this a sign of a game that has been delayed TOO long and too many times? Has the waiting killed your excitement over "the greatest Role Playing Game of all time"?

[Bond]

I'm still very excited about Fable, although I do believe it will suffer from over hype and long delays as far as sales go. I can already see the reviews being: "a great game that lives up to almost all the hype."

I've followed Fable religiously for about two years. I'm content with what I know, and so, have stopped following it. I have my Pre-Order ready and I know what to expect. Oh, and those screens are a month or two old ;)

[Professor S]

I only meant new as in they hadn't been posted here yet. They are the latest screens as posted by Big Blue Box, though, so I am content with their newitude.

[Crono]

I am so excited about this game that I will be buying an Xbox just to play it. Probably won't have it by release date, but sometime in the fall anyway.

[Professor S]

Fable is a another reason why I love consoles. Here's why:

There are two games this year that I am rabidly looking forward to: Fable and Rome Total War. Now I know when I pop Fable into my Xbox, its going to be running at 100% of its capacity. When I pop Rome Total War into my PC, I have no idea whether or not its going to work well. I might have to get another 512 of ram to get it to run right. That sucks.

bit of an over exaggeration there :p the coin flips both ways on that type of subject because 5 years from now i'll be able to put in a game and run it on my pc, knowing it may not run the greatest, but will run. however 5 years from how to play a new console game i'll have to buy a new console. and that sucks.

True, but when the amount of ram you need to buy is the same cost as a new console or close to it, it amounts to the same thing. Example: I have a Dell with 2 Ram slots that have to be identical. Right now I have 256 in each. If I want to upgrade, I have to toss out both 256 and buy 2 512. Thats a new console... or two or three.

God forbid you need to get a new graphics card or a new processor. PC gaming is an expensive excercise with a very short half life when it comes to tech advances and standards. I got a brand new PC a year ago with a 256 ATI card, 512 RAMBUS and a 2.6 GH processor and I thought I would be set for a while... meanwhile it didn't take long for games like Farcry to chug my PC and even blow it out of the water.

Consoles are just a better value over a longer time. This isn't to say I don't like PC gaming, because I own more PC games than console games, but consoles are just a better value for what you get.

That's a really bad analogy, though.

Unless you're buying a highly proprietary RAM configuration, there's no WAY that it's going to cost you the same amount as a new console. Seriously; right now RAM is dirt cheap.

well theres reasons to look into what to get before you get things. Mine has 3 DDR slots, i have 2 512 MB chips in there. if i want another 512, i simply buy a stick of 512, which at todays price, (natrually, needing rebates, stupid stores) costs cheaper then a video game.

somethings wrong with your PC if farcry chugs it along. you have some sort of bottle neck somewhere happening. (and if your refering to RD RAM, many people got suckered into that when it was new, it was said to be the next step in ram, it went downhill fast... meanwhile, DDR has gotten better and much cheaper. ) my pc is a 2.6 also and runs farcry smooth as silk.

Theres many misconseptions about PC gaming, one being you need the newest stuff to run the newest games which isnt true. another being that a new computer should be able to run a game at all the highest settings, and people complain when it cant. Thing is there. developers purposly put in settings they KNOW no ones computer can handle. its meant for the future.

Doom3 comes with an Ultimate setting that no ones computer is ready for yet, i think it said it wants a 512MB vid card which none even exist right now as far as i know.

it doesnt have to be a short life at all. infact i find it very much comparable to console gamings life.



Consoles are just a better value over a longer time. This isn't to say I don't like PC gaming, because I own more PC games than console games, but consoles are just a better value for what you get.
depends on what you do. i find its all the same. my console does only gaming, my PC does lots lots more, so i tend to view it as thats where a lot of the money goes. not just into games. and i tend to go thro consoles much faster then i go thro PC's.

Well I had a AMD 1.4GHZ pc for a very long time and was able to play many games.

Now I have an AMD XP3000+ and it flies....
