*sigh* They never fucking learn. "How will this run on my PC?", "Read the system specs derp?"
I fear that the demo is now becoming a console exclusive and even then just for downloadable games
There's no Fable 3 demo on console either (unless they added one ages after the fact).

Fable always sells on its license and absurd "fanboybase" (yes I just made that up, I hope I'm the first one because I'm extraordinarily proud of myself just now).

Just ask yourself this "Can my computer out power an XBox 360, which is a cheap computer built for around 500 dollars in 2005?" If the answer is "Yes" you can run it. If it crashes on your system, the port is a mess and it won't matter how good your system is.

BTW, Fable III is much more fun co-op, so bring a friend.

I still don't understand why we don't get Fable 2 first.

Umm it says there is in the article unless the article is wrong.

Unless they prefer to not file it under "F" or under any of the Fable categories, I assure you there's not.

Ah, I bet I know what the confusion is, there was a playable demo at PAX, press would have played it as well. There has never been a demo available to regular Live members, though.

Well thats just bollocks, there's a shitload of things that can interfere with a PC game because of the fact its an open architecture whereas a console is a static development platform specifically designed to perform a single task. PCs are multitasking devices made out of bits sourced from dozens of different suppliers with the need to keep drivers up to date and interact with other running applications, any one of those elements can cause a disruption so basing a decision on comparisons to the power of a totally different hardware platform is stupid at best
