Destroyed a "Masterpiece"
Fable TLC (PC) > Fable Anniversary

Seriously, the textures take away the "feel" of the original game. Now it looks bland. If anyone truly played the original, they would be very disappointed. They eyes were colorful, game was bright, and the anniversary edition took that away.

People always find something to complain about.

I wouldn't call it destroyed at all as it does look better in some ways, but I get where you're coming from. The original game was brighter and the older textures do bring out a sense of nostalgia that Anniversary doesn't. I'm glad that they left the soundtrack intact though, as THAT would have been unforgivable.

So I'm probably buying Anniversary after already having played the original xbox version back in the day. It'll be nice, seeing it in brought back to modern times.

My brother and I are probably the biggest Fable (1) fans, the game disc has been in our xbox at least a couple of times every month since launch. We are incredibly excited to play this on PC (the 360 version was underwhelming due to technical issues). So yea, kind of destroys your argument :D

I guess I should re-edit it but I'll leave it at that since that shows my initial thoughts on it(at least I can admit that xD)

Ok it "doesn't destroy it" but it also does not deliver the expectations of a well-done remake, not that it deserved one. I own the original Fable on the Xbox, played it through 2.5 times (lol didn't finish the 3rd run through) and it was 1 of the only games I actually bought on the Xbox, besides Halo2.

But when I saw the "PC version" of Fable TLC, I was impressed with the higher resolutions and smoother framerate. So I was disappointed to see an "anniversary edition" release since it felt like a step backwards...I just think the remake was to make a profit for the X360, which now they have to re-release it for the XboxOne all over again...(consoles...so limited)

its not a remake, it just has a fresh coat of paint, through the unreal engine 3. I for one am going to have a ton of fun replaying this with better graphics and framerate on my uber-pc :D

I like them both. Anniversary is unquestionably superior technically, but I don't think it is necessarily better, or worse, just different. All things considered it's a very faithful remaster.

I see where you're coming from & agree for the most part.. not sure I'd agree with what you say about the textures though, but the color/vibrancy certainly seems to have suffered.
Thankfully there are utilities like SweetFX that can help with that & who knows, we MAY still get the ability to mod at some point.

In my experience, the community always does a better job with things such as this but it is Microsofts game and Microsofts money I suppose.
Wow , why poeple cant stop destroying the game ...

Just stop crying and shut up

You know, since it's coming to pc and all


you most likely will be able to "fix" it being too dark.

Add in some anti-aliasing, etc etc.


That is the 360 version.

And the 360 is dated.

I assure you, the screenshots don't show it in all it's glory. It looks much better in person. I've played the original a lot.(I've finished it at least five or six times)
The updated visuals are very true to form. You might actually say they're too true to the original game. The style's almost exactly the same, just with more polies and better textures. It does look a lot better though. This isn't like Halo Anniversary, which changed the whole style of the game. This is a straight visual rebuild. Everything's been updated in the same style as before, but much better.

It is slightly darker, yes, but that doesn't really take away from the vibrancy of the game at all. Plus as others mentioned, when the game comes out, people will probably be throwing out SweetFX and ENBseries presets for you to try out, which might increase the contrast and vibrancy a bit.

Trust me, as someone who loved Fable TLC, Anniversary is actually done really well and it's loyal to it's predecessor.

There better be some good texture mods in a few weeks. As a game with a recommended spec of a GTX 260 you could probably fit "all its glory" in a ziplock bag.

I think it runs on the Unreal engine, which i've never seen a game on that engine that couldn't run on a toaster. Not saying the games look "bad" or anything, just there's only so much you can do on the UE but it's supposibly extremly easy to work with and come out with good results that'll play on many systems.

I really don't know why ppl are comparing the 360 version to the pc, Fable 1 old one looks better than any xbox game!

EDIT: Forgot to add usually the Recoomended specs is only looking at like 30 fps on general "High" settings. As Min. spec is like lowest resolution etc. IMO they need an "Ultra" spec recomendation for maxing said game out at 60 fps....
