    Anyone else somewhat pissed off at the lack of a PC version for this game? I mean the big three consoles, the handhelds and even the PS2 and iPhone of all things are getting a version of the Force Unleashed released on them and yet the PC is sitting in the corner without so much as a mention or subtle nod of acknowledgement that it exists. I have to say i'm pissed off at the lack of any PC version of the game, the Jedi Knight series were big hits on the PC and Star Wars games have always done well on the platform, so why no Force Unleashed on the PC then?

    Also, considering LucasArts used to cater to PC exclusively back in the day, it's nuts to think that they arent putting this on PC. Oh well, that's what I have consoles for.

    Whether the game is bad or not i'd like to be able to buy it, play it and decide about it myself. But Lucasarts has ignored a platform which essentially has supported it well for years is a little annoying or more importantly disappointing.

    Well it is difficult to develop a game for PC and to keep the same level of quality the developers intended due to the sheer number of different setups. With consoles the developers can get the game to play and look exactly how they want by taking advantage of the consoles features and working around any limitations. They can do that because everyone who has an Xbox 360, for example,  has the same basic hardware. With PCs they can't be sure what CPU you'll have or what graphics card and so they can't gurantee that PC users will be playing the game as they intended which, of course, they don't want.

    It might get a port later on. Allot of console games seem to be doing that now. Coming out on consoles and then 6+ months down the line a PC version is released.

    Seconded.


    Also yeah it's a bit odd not to see this on PC, especially when you consider so many of the best Star Wars games have appeared on PC. Strange

    Well thats partly correct i guess, making PC games can be a hassle if you need to optimise the game more so it runs on a wider range of systems. However the fact that every platform, iPhone included, is getting a copy of this game except the PC makes me thin that it isn't because they felt it would be too difficult to make a PC version.

    Ignorance is bliss i see.

    And indeed it is strange, i don't think i've even heard of why Lucasarts felt the need to ignore the PC with this game.

    Hamz, my friend...
    it's time for you to get a next gen console, you are missing so much by using only PC.
    Regardless, TFU is not a good game, so be thankful you didn't waste valuable time on it like I did.

    If i were going to buy a console it wouldn't be any of the ones that are on the market at the moment for sure. Seriously...just no i wont go there.

    But i am shocked to hear so many people have issues with TFU, the hype and excitement for it seems big. Perhaps its because it was just a new Star Wars game ?

    When they become worth buying :P....i guess the best answer is the next gen consoles to be released. The new versions that Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo release. But currently the Wii, 360 and PS3 do not interest me one bit...although the PS3 does get +1 in my book for having Blue Ray capability.

    I think know what you mean. Being a PC gamer myself I'm constantly underwhelmed by the relative simplicity of most console games. Still, there has to be something you like about one of the two consoles....

    Well its not the more simplistic style of games or gameplay that appears in console games that turns me away. Because contrary to popular belief about PC gamers i am not much of a graphics whore, i can play Crysis with my 7900GS and still have some fun with it looking the same as COD4 visually. The only thing i can say i do like about console gaming is the plugin and play aspect to it, there is no worrying about upgrading to get the best out of games like PC gaming. So in that sense its a lot cheaper and simpler, and we all prefer life to be as simple as possible for sure.

    Aww, that's not going to be for awhile then... Ah well, if they are backwards compatible you can find plenty of good games cheap.

    Don't forget the PS3 has the folding@home ability too. :)
