mrmarioanonym: why not bring Fable 2 to PC. I would buy it.
^^ this!
It really irks me and messes with my OCD when series randomly miss a PC version in the middle, same with Driver 2!

I was very impressed back in 2008 when I loaded up Fable: TLC on my brand new E8400 w/ 8800GT.

But it look far better on my high quality 15" CRT screen at the time than on the cheap 19" LCD I replaced it with :(

Elmofongo: Some games deserves HD remakes. My PS2 and Wii are not gonna last long, so I hope Resident Evil Remake, 0, Outbreak 1 and 2 and Final Fantasy XII gets HDfyed.

Crosmando: It would be difficult to make HD versions of those Resident Evil games because they use 2D backgrounds with 3D models, so while it would be easy to make the 3D models (like characters and enemies) scale correctly, all the backgrounds could only be upscaled (similar to what happens when you emulate these games on PC).

Same goes for FF XII on PC, you can set the resolution to 1920x1080, but the 2D backgrounds are stretched.

Unless you mean a complete remake from the ground up, in which case it would be a completely new game.
Final Fantasy XII does not have 2D backgrounds at all, you must be thinking of X

This is Final Fantasy XII:

And I still the RE games HD can be done.

I remember when good ol Peter Molyneux said that Fable would be the greater RPG ever made, by which all RPG's would be judged against

Did anyone read the top-rated comment? The internet stirs a profound ambivalence in me...

darthspudius: Why not? The game is awesome, keep giving it life and more appeal to younger generations. Great news as far as my opinion is concerned. I love this series.

From that article:
"The game marks the Final Fantasy series transition from entirely pre-rendered backdrops to fully three-dimensional areas" I think you misread, it's a 3D game.

This. Although, following AOE2... I expect a Steam exclusive for the PC (or an xbox exclusive if not on the PC).

Hmmm, well you'll have to see what they do with those environments then, if Squeenix is being cheap they'll just upscale the original textures, or they might "remake" 1080p versions of the textures, or perhaps if they still have the source-art from the original game lying around, they could do something with it other than upscaling it ("upsampling"?)

I pretty much think any company that upscales digital content and sells it as "HD" deserves to be called out, you wouldn't see an upscaled HD DVD sold as a Bluray without a backlash.

Still say if its a decent port with no flaws (looking at Silent Hill before the patch) I would buy "HD" games because I want them on a modern system because my older systems are not gonna last long.

Amen.
I'd love to see Fable 2 hit the PC.

Would like Fable Anniversary to hit the PC, as well...

SovietSharkey: Fable 1 PC looking better than Fable 3 is a hell of a stretch
Yeah, that was kind of silly. Let's calm down on the "PC resolution makes everything amazing looking" talk there.

Would love to see this on PC, but I won't cry if it never happens. Fable is okay... Fable 3 is decent... neither are anything I truly care about.
