Why is this game fuckin' lost media? Hard to emulate, never came to PC, never got any re-releases, would be nice to get a Steam release just like 1, I really loved 1
on top of all that, the disks are expensive as fuck (i don't own a 360 but was just curious), and i don't even know if its playable on new xboxes, don't think so
>>732202745It is. You can buy it digitally and play it on the Xbox One and Series models. It goes on sale for $10 or less all the time
>>732202915manwhy don't they port it to PC for some reason its hard to emulate, even today a lot of parts i hear run like shit and you can't upscale it, new xboxes are pretty much PCs, just port it microshit
because it's shit just like all the other fable games
>>732203015fable 1 is cozy peak though, yeah its an easy basically kids game but love playing that game with a mug of cocoa in a dark room... PC only so haven't really touched the other games 'yet
>>732202981>why don't they port it to PC1: The source code was probably trashed when lionhead studios was axed. 2: Fable 2 was generally considered a failure internally at lionhead so it isn’t news that they tried to bury it.
>>732203256if it already runs on xbox, do you really need the source code to do thatit is what it is I guess
>>732203256>>732203797>muh source codebullshitCockstar gave the same excuse for not porting RDR to PC and eventually doing it anyway.>if it already runs on xbox, do you really need the source code to do thatNo, consoles are nothing but gimped PC's nowadays.
>>732203256>Fable 2 was generally considered a failure internally at lionhead Honestly a shock, given how I personally think of it as the best of the 3 games.
>>732202623https://www.xbox.com/games/store/Fable-II/C2WKJJ9F5936???It's even on 50% sale right now.
>>732202623Hope someone decompiles it and makes a native PC port
I remember not liking Fable 2 nearly as much as the first, despite being hyped as hell for it. But I'd still like to play it again. A remaster, or even a straight 1:1 port, would print money (although I would hope that they'd fix the memory leaking that slowed down the inventory screens, so that it doesn't take 30 seconds to load a model of a bottle of dye).
>lost media>can be easily played on any xbox from the 360 and up.
>>732202623It's on the xbox marketplace. Runs at 4K and is often on sale.
>>732202623>lost media is when not on polystation and steamie hut junior
>>732204732
>>732204732Not on PC = dead
>>732202623It doesn't have enough brown people in it.
>>732205479Stream it on pc.
>>732204645>>732205796How am I supposed to pirate that, retards? Or are you actually suggesting giving MS money? Hahahahaha!
>>732204535The game is backwards compatible on the Series consoles and even got FPS boost. Pretty much on par with any Sony "remaster" except you don't have to pay full price but can get it for 10 bucks on a sale.
>>732205968I've stopped buying consoles, for better or for worse.
>>732202623Fable The Journey is literally a game about using your hands in first person and it will never get a VRemake
>>732202623it's not lost dumb anon I can play it right now
>>732202623There was a recomp project. But it was one guy and he gave up pretty much immediately.
>>732205896I'm amazed companies even put games on PC when all you dipshits do is constantly brag about how you love to steal shit
>>732206317Thanks for being a good little paypiggu and paying for all my games.
>>732206317i started out pirating back in the day but ever since I became an adult with a job I buy almost all my games, 1500+ on steam, pirating is a hassle these days, but of course i'll still pirate if i can't buy something conveniently
>>732206317To be fair, they get the ass end a lot of the times. You can see pubs don't give a shit about porting a good port to PC. All it takes is one suit to see an article about "so many copies pirated" and bam, you get a shitty port 2 years later for them to get some extra profits.
>>732202623At least it's still playable from the Live store or whatever it's called these days. I've had a Rogue Squadron 2/3 itch for years
>>732202623>lost mediaThere are ten copies of it on the shelf at my local used game store
>>732206984>physical mediaobviously we mean forwards compatible software licenses
>>732203015Fuck off contrarian
>>732202623Just wait for the reboot. It's going to be a flat upgrade.
>>732202623It was just six bucks.
how the fuck is it lost media if you can still find Xbox 360 copies of it?
>>732204536Lost media just means "gen alpha can't find it on netflix"
>>732202981Official emulator for 25th anniversary... maybe!Probably not, because Microsoft isnt that cool.
>>732208594cinema
>>732202623>Hard to emulateit's perfectly emulated on the xbox one and up retard
>>732208691why would you assume I'm talking about anything but on PC in that context
>>732208741tbf the emulator scene would not be able to release an emulator like that if m$ released the code
>Microsoft needs exclusives to sell consoles!>That game is exclusively on consoles and still for sale? It is lost media. Duality of /v/
>>732208904Everything needs to be released on PC, the only platform worth a damn. You can't even use mouse and keyboard on those shitty consoles.
>>732208904>Microsoft needs exclusives to sell consoles!ridiculous and anti-gamer goyim take, the death of exclusivity was one of the best semi recent changes in gaming, its a great thing to see so many classics pop up on steam
>>732208962you can use mouse and keyboard on the swutc/seriesx/ps5 and phones just fine phaggotpc is nothing special
>>732209074And they work perfectly in every game? I call bullshit on that.
>>732202623fagle is a nortubel tier series
Cloud eh
>>732209121steam has more mobile ports than the consoles
>>732208904Didn't microsoft state they were focusing less on console making in the future to focus on becoming a universal publisher instead? So far they're the only big console maker that have been advocating for releasing exclusives on all platforms.
>>732209206I beg you to stop forming your worldview around intentionally misleading and out of context quoting clickbait headlines.
>>732209206They said that to me in a dream. Their ceo talked about hating exclusivity. The internet jumped on Target moving a display and Sam's club dropping hardware sales to Microsoft abandoning consoles, but I don't recall any official comment other than referencing their Amd press release. I am too lazy to look, but I think Bond has mentioned first party console in interviews.
>>732203256>2: Fable 2 was generally considered a failure internally at lionhead so it isn’t news that they tried to bury it.Stop lying out of your ass, you fucking faggot. It was one of the best selling games on 360 the year it came out, and if they thought it was a failure they wouldn't have made multiple DLC's for it.
>>732203103Fable 3 actually got a PC release, it's playable if you get a GFWL fix
>>732210105i always play series by release order, but i guess in this case it can't be helped, i might just play 3 first
>>732210246Only option is to pirate, there should be a separate download giving you the DLC if you lurk. Fable 2 GOTY can be emulated on PC, but you will need to save pretty much every time you swap areas, and turn off certain parts of the community patch to progress the story (IE entering the arena). Also clothing dyes don't work and the base mutt model for your dog has visual glitches, but swapping his breed fixes it. At least the husky breed does, dunno about the bloodhound.
>>732202623Probably because it is boring.
>>732202623It runs okay on Xenia these days. I believe it still has some light bleeding/ issues with godrays.
>>732209954I remember there not being much DLC for Fable 2, and what little there was being very disappointing.
>>732210246Do not play Fable 3 first. Even if you have to skip Fable 2, get context for the world and setting from The Lost Chapters before playing 3.
>>732212304ive already played itthough desu its been a few years, i kinda forgot a lot of stuff lol, might watch a recap video or something
>>732212304Fable 3 has basically nothing to do with Fable 1 unless you take into context the fucking Journey. It still chaps my ass they finished the series storyline with a fucking kinect on-rails shooter.
>>732208594They literally don't make them like this anymore. Very sad.
>>732202981>>732203256It's more during 2008-2009 MS were pretty anti-PC. The failure of GFWL (and removing the sub fee) and Halo 2 Vista/Shadowrun sales soured them on the platform. Which is why Halo Wars and Gears 2 never got ports either (HW got one many years later but not porting an RTS during launch was retarded) it wasn't until Fable 3 funny enough that Lionhead internally pushed for more PC focus.
>>732202623There's supposed to be a recomp/decomp PC port in the works for Fable II but no word how far along it is or if and when it'll be finished.
>>732202623Just buy a cheap x360, play Fable, Ninja Gaiden Black, Saints Row, and whatever else
>>732202623It was woke garbage
>>732213062>fable>wokekek
>>732212974As far as I know, the one person working on it gave up last may (after about a month)
>>732212534It connects The Crawler with The Court, at the very least.
>>732213749The Journey does that. Not Fable 3. As far as Fable 3 is concerned, he is just some demon.
>>732204536It's on Xbox only so it might as well be lost media
>>732215654You can play it on xcloud for $1 then cancel the sub. It's hardly lost.
>>732215654what the fuck do you think lost media means you retard
>>732215947>streamingi'd rather castrate myself with a rusty knife full of aids
>>732216108consoles do not count you mouthbreathing absolute retarded mongoloid shitstain, holy fuck
>>732202981Microsoft The answer is Microsoft
>>732216209>the primary way of playing video games doesn't countBruh just get a console already wasting time with this shit
I had to borrow and old-ass x360. The resolution was horrid and honestly the game wasn't that good. It was shockingly close to Fable 3 mechanically, I wasn't expecting that.
>>732202623>lost media>never got any re-releasesit's backwards compatible and you can still buy it
>>732203797yes, backwards compatibility is not a port, it's basically "emulation"
Astro bot is my favourite lost media hidden gem
I actually own the cd and have my old Xbox 360 stored somewhere but i can't be bothered to actually play console anymore. I just want to play it on PC
Playable on Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series and nearly always on sale for $10 and under. It was $8 something last month.Basically "No".
>Xbox gay cuz no exclusives but when they do its anticonsumer and lost media
>>732217445 Supporting the practice of console exclusives the the goyest goy fanboy shit imaginable.
>>732216145I'm sure you would, troon.
>>732217804Yes I am sure you would be very normal about it if it was on xbox app only and not steam.
>>732216614>just buy a 15 year old console and have someone ship the game to youTheres not really a term for it. I knew what he meant but yes, its not exactly lost media. More "pain in the ass and inconvenient to use" mediaNo clue why this game never got a port to PC. Bullshit Microsoft "lost" the source code. Need proofs.
>>732217445i mean you can be against exclusives entirely while still thinking its not worht to buy a console when it doesn't have any not contradictory but ofc im against em as a concept
>>732202981>why don't they port it to PCThe same reason GoW is missing a bunch of games on PC - nobody would have a reason to own an Xbox otherwise
>>732208110>Just wait for the reboot.Remakes are goyslop and you're a dumb goycattle, slurping the goyslop right from the goytrough.
>>732202623Get the cheap Xbone X, play Fable 2 in 4k, play a shitton of other backwards compatible 360 games
>that really weird prison part of fable 2
>>732217250Have been playing Fable 3 recently in my Xboxone , it is pretty good.
>>732221363One X is a great pickup these days.
>>732202623it emulates pretty decently actually there's just a minor bug with faces but there's a work around.also very easy to buy last time I checked, even modern xbox supports it.
>>732203103Is that the anniversary version? fucking gross dude what are you doing play lost chapters
>>732217250>1, 2, and 3 each kind of do their own little unique thing with the logo/color>the faggot retards making the reboot just flat out copy 3's stylesoulless fucking garbage devsgame is going to bomb so hard
>>732202623runs fine on xenia now, quick fix for the dog exploding shadows too
>>732221363>>732221615theres not enough to justify a console purchase
>>732221825what's the issue?
>>732216209how about you google the definition of lost whateverthefuck before you act like a little cunt
>>732222256the anniversary version completely fucks up the art style so it's hilarious you consider it cozy when you're playing the slop version
>>732224031it's an improvement
>>732204402Nobody owns an xbox man, get real.
>>732224031It has controller support so its an objective improvement. The game was designed specifically for the xbox controller and the keyboard implementation is clunky as fuck.
