Fable III PC is the 'most beautiful version'

Considering that the Fable franchise has been associated more with the Xbox 360, it definitely comes as a surprise to hear Lionhead say that the PC version will be the more beautiful version of the two.

Lead engine coder Don Williamson said in an interview with Beefjack, "Because our artists originally authored their assets at such a high quality, removing the limits that the Xbox 360 imposed upon us immediately made the game look better."

 

Senior designer Mike West echoed this sentiment, saying, "The main benefit to a PC release is to be able to see the world of Albion realized at such a high resolution. We have some mighty PCs in the office and along with the fantastic 3D mode, Fable has never looked more beautiful which the artists love."

 

 

Some of the improvements on the PC version that the devs gushed about would be the greater texture pools, deeper draw distances, and increased shadow resolution. Of course, before they were able to get to this stage of beauty for Fable III, they had to go through several obstacles since the PC version was a straight-up port from the Xbox 360 version, which was made specifically for the console.

 

 

"Our histogram evaluation had to be moved from the CPU to the GPU to prevent stalls, some video cards can't sample the depth buffer as a texture making depth-of-field and crepuscular rays difficult, we were employing lots of tricks to occupy space on the 360 that couldn't be done on the PC, we had to counter lots of inefficiencies introduced with the higher level of abstraction in D3D on the PC... the list goes on, but the engine guys did a great job bringing it all under control."

Too bad the game is a patronising waste of time no matter what system you play it on.

Sure, because it makes complete sense for them to say otherwise .... "the PC version will be the same, or worse, than the 360 version. IM sure thats gonna make sales SKYROCKET .... they are gonna feed us BS in any form to up sales. Its the same situation as developers lauding how cool Project Cafe is ... if course they will, they are going to be making games for it soon and expect people to buy them, why not get teh public hyped regardless of the truth.
