Fable III on PC is “respectful of the platform”

15 April 2011

PC gamers have had a bit of a wait for Fable III since it launched on Xbox 360 in October last year already, but that’s apparently because Lionhead didn’t want to push out a rubbish port. 

“Our hope is that people who pick it up on PC think ‘okay, this plays how I would expect it to play, it doesn’t play like just a half-done port’, which I think is the danger for PC games,” lead designer Josh Atkins tells Rock Paper Shotgun.

“Not to knock anyone else, but people tend to just rush games out onto the PC, they do the very quickest port they can and they try to do it as a financial model rather than let’s try to make something that at least plays like it was designed for this platform, and respects what the platform does. With Fable III on PC, we wanted it to feel like it was respectful of the platform, that it had been built for it.”

The game is due to launch (again) on 17 May.
