Lucasarts will not be bringing The Force Unleashed to PC.

What....the.....fuck?

If I didn't love Star Wars so much, I'd boycott them.

They cite the reason to be that PCs have such a varying amount of horsepower they can't bring the same experience to all levels. Are you kidding me? They are developing the game for PS3/360 (mid-high range computer) and the Wii (low range computer). They are saying that they can't somehow combine these into a single PC experience??

Even if they couldn't, just develop the game with a mid-high range computer in mind. Who the hell cares about low end computerists???? If they can't afford an upgrade to their PCs, they should move to console gaming. PC gaming is an expensive hobby, get over it Lucasarts! The whole reason I game mainly on PC is so that I can get better resolutions and better visuals. I'm willing to pay the extra money to get it.

So now my PC is going to not get a great game because some people still try to get by on bare minimum PCs. That is the biggest load of crap I've ever heard.

So now I have to choose between Wii and PS3. Tough decision. I'll be pondering for quite a while. Probably wait and see how the controls pan out for Wii.

That's a tough choice.

One of those games where the controls seem like it would help a lot, but also doesn't have the same physics engine.

On the other hand, Wii version also features an exclusive fighting mode which seems pretty cool as well.

Maybe they just don't like flushing money down the toilet.

PC gaming is alive and kicking. There is plenty of money to be made on PC.

well son of a b****...you see, right now i would be really freaking pissed off if i didn't have a 360 coming within the next month or so...

i am currently building a new PC (Force Unleashed in mind) and that kind of really pisses me off that i won't be able to utilize it...oh well...i guess other games will just have to get my attention instead...and FU will have to wait till i'm done with them to move onto console gaming...

Yeah, but not for the genre FU would be in. PC's bread and butter is RTS, MMO and Harcore RPG right now. Even FPS's are dominated by consoles in today's market. Now try making it for only high end PC's and you've eliminated 980% of you possible market. Crysis didn't fail because of piracy, it failed because no one could play the damn game.

Maybe the game will suck. Problem solved.

It makes me sad. Or angry...not sure which.

I agree 100% with you on Crysis. Crysis was so ridiculously high spec'ed that I didn't even want to buy it (plus they didn't optimize it very well which made it run less than stellar on good rigs). I'm not saying that FU should require that much horsepower, no game should. You can make a damn fine looking/performing game that requires half of Crysis' requirements.

And I believe that Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy did very well on PC which are very similar games. Granted they came out years ago...

Come on now, is this really the most pissed you've ever been in your life?
And I have to say yes. I don't get upset very easily. Get dumped by GF, whatever. Get a D on an exam, eh... Star Wars abandoning PC, that crosses the line. :-P

:lol: nice...

and yeah, i agree with the whole jedi outcast games, i played them on PC and really liked them, and would definitely purchase FU if it came out for PC.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!

(what's the force unleashed again?)

I've never cared much for PC gaming really, outside of World of Warcraft.

Star Wars video games....whhaaat? For real? They have those? So that's what Episode 1's pod racing scene was for...to sell video games. Doh!

Seriously though, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast kicked ass. That was hands down the coolest game I ever played...once you got past the first 5 levels that is. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to try to make 5 levels of FPS before getting your light saber needs to have their balls force griped.

I tried the demo of Jedi Outcast and somehow it didn't draw me in.

Oh and I might get The Forge Unpleased on the Wii.

To be specific, there's no multiplayer in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, because there is on the Wii, PSP, and DS. As far as specific reasons are concerned, we don't really like to get into the reasons why we don't do things because I don't think there's really a satisfactory answer that people would really be happy with. So, there isn't multiplayer and that's kind of how it is...

hmm...

I know we have an Xbox demo thread, but with the launch so close wanted to see if opinions have changed on Wii vs Ps3/360 version and stuff.

Try and fill in more details at work.

I like it, but I like it more for the potential. The animations are great, but I wanted more out of the demo. Honestly, demos have been sucking lately. The Too Human demo only let you use the most boring class available, and the SW:FU demo didn't give me enough powers to play with.

Demos should give you crazy powers right away, so that you see the true potential of the game, and go out and buy it.

Like the crackdown demo.

And I dont see what the big deal is, FU isnt that great of a game. Its amusing for sure but from what I gathered from the demo, it doesnt seem like much is going to change as you progress through the game.

I played the demo on PS3. I wasn't impressed :(. I'm convinced that it would be a lot more fun using a mouse/keyboard combo just like Jedi Academy, Jedi Outcast.

I am no longer sure if I'll buy this game, which saddens me.

I watched someone else watch a demo of it for PS3. Seemed pretty cool. The lightsaber and force attacks are just barrels of fun!

I actually had quite a bit of fun with the demo. Sure it may not be a great GOTY type game but I still think it willl be a good fun game

Wait, you watched someone else who was watching a demo instead of watching the demo its self?

P.S. The word "watch" no longer has a meaning to me anymore.:(

Ok maybe it is just creepy.
