Never cared about Fable when I first played it. I got bored in 4 hours and stopped playing after that. I might consider buying it if it comes here, otherwise I'm not really caring about this news.

I might get it if I had some extra spending cash. I enjoyed Fable: The Lost Chapters for the original Xbox and I really enjoyed the sequels too. I was practically addicted to Fable 2 for a few months during my junior year at college. Fable 3 had a cool concept and it was definitely my favorite entry.
Fable 1 came across to me as kind of like a rated M version of Legend of Zelda.

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.
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.
Also.... next-gen remake ftw!
I'd love to see Fable 2 hit the PC.
Would like Fable Anniversary to hit the PC, as well...
(R.I.P Age of Empires...)
Otherwise, you just forgot about achievements.

Hello,
i do not care for Fable too much. It is a bland uninspired action rpg without huge skill tree, without many exciting skills. It had small linear levels, it was rather short 8 hours playtime.
However it had some redeeming factors. Your characters appearance showed off your stats to some extend. A muscular fighter with huge strength was a walking brick wall. A brainy mage with much huge braincellular magic power was slender and had a little corona of lightnings around his head to show his brain capacity. The ranged rogue was lightly build like a marathon runner and had little mercury wing attached to his boots. That you could merry a wife and have a family, buy houses or shops was a bonus too. The land lord mechanic was very shallow and did not add much to the game. It was only good for a steady gold income and a discount for goods in your shops, but out of roleplaying view it was and is amazing. Open world sand box roleplaying games should offer you much more options like this.
But for the remake thing. Remakes are a desease born out of lack or detoriation of creativity, greed and laziness. It is found in the music industry, in the movie industry, in the car industry, every part of human life seems to be a cycle of remakes. First the hollywood movies, then the games industry, it is so worse now that no new types games are developed. Everything we get is a remake of something that was there before. And we consumer support this behaviour and buy everything we can get. Even the highly praised indie game developer scene is producing mostly remakes and retro titles. There is truely no hope for us. It is time to reset human culture to stone age. So that we can invent something "new". That was there before, but no one beside the ancient shamans remembers it.
Have a nice day.

If this came to PC, I'd buy it again.
A screenshot comparison is found on Polygon's post for this news item:
http://www.polygon.com/2013/6/4/4394638/fable-anniversary-hd-remake-xbox-360
I'm not sure why so many people bemoan remakes or HD versions. At least in my experience, I typically remember a game much more fondly than it played or looked in reality. A big part of that is my love of visuals / graphics in a game; yeah, I'm a bit of a graphics whore. I see what video game graphics can be; so going back and playing original versions can sometimes be jarring without mods to smooth things over.
Many in the GOG community are purists that want the original art and experience preserved. I see nothing wrong with that thinking. But I also see good in a developer / publisher going this route. Why not have the option for both?
