Oh God. Not again.

First of all, the Wii, PS2, DS and PSP versions do not have fantastic graphics of the new physics engines. And, I’m sorry, but last time I checked Bioshock and Crysis and all the other game that have PC versions don’t use these new engines that require insane amounts of processing power. In fact, the amount of processing power required is why the new engines are only on the 360 and PS3. And I agree that the $4000 thing is an exaggeration, but the point he is trying to make is that a 360-quality version would be unplayable on low-end PCs (which are definitely out there). If they made a watered-down version to compensate for the lower technology, you guys with higher-end PCs (which are also definitely out there) would complain about that because you cannot possibly be satisfied with anything. You’re all just being big spoiled brats. And you guys aren’t even considering every factor that goes into this decision because all you care about is yourselves. There are deadlines and budget restrictions. They simply did not have time to accomodate everyone’s demands, so they decided to appease the console owners, who in this day and age are beginning to outnumber PC gamers. Like it or not, businesses don’t care about all their customers. They only care about whichever customers will put the most food on their tables. Because that’s what business is for: to make money to support yourself so that you can survive. So just shut your bratty, spoiled, whiny little mouths, appreciate what you have, and get the hell over yourselves.

Most gamers who would buy this game for PC( me for one) would have an updated system. I think it’s unfair to all the PC gamers that they can’t play this awesome game because there might be a couple people who would have to turn all the settings down. Lucasarts will be losing lots of customers if they don’t make a pc version.

Sounds like their just being lazy, they’ve been developing this game for so long their tired of it. My pc only cost me $800 and i can play anything out there right now maxed out and never dip below 40 fps at the most stressful times, large battles, lots of npcs on the screen etc. Their just making excuses, laziness in its purest form.

Its not about graphics. Its about the processors. PS3 and 360 have far more processing power then the vast majority of PCs. PS3 can run what, 8 threads at the same time without having to split clock time and the 360 can run 6. Your duo core can run….4

they already ran reviews on the ps2 version that said it wasnt as good.
personally, i think they need to cancel everything but the 360 and ps3 versions.

What the hell??? if there saying they dont want to dumb down the expirence by making it for slower computers then why the hell are they making this game for the DS???!?!?!?!? its a stupid mobile phone with out the phone part!! god!
just do what stranglehold did and make duel cores the minimum! if the person doesnt have a duel core by now then i think they proberly got a PS3 or 360 anyway! its not hard to port a game! so many companies do it!

Unbelievable….totally unbelievable. LucasArts used to be the PC-version of Squaresoft in creating great games with great multiplayer, and now they are a complete disappointment. They had an ideal opportunity to take the newest and most innovative multiplayer designs and apply them directly to this game. A lot of gamers have been waiting for something that was as good as the original LucasArts PC titles like JK, Tie-Fighter, etc..

Whatever the reason for the abandonment of the PC, LucasArts is going to lose a lot because of it.

This is a real let-down from LucasArts, once the number one PC game designer on the planet. If it can be done on a Wii, it can be done on a PC. The numbers are there for profit, just see World of Warcraft.

This is all WRONG. I am so pissed their not releasing it for pc. I loved the other games and I would be willing to pay an easy $50 for this game and hundreds of thousands of other ppl would too. We all know the game is made on a freakn PC so PUT IT ON PC!!!!!! Every pc could run it with cheap upgrades. I am so pissed about this.

I agree to Mustang - this marketing is out of this world. As star wars fan I am really getting bored of all these sentences “it is amazing”, “Working hard to make best blablabla” Every web doc and not only with TFU, but all Star Wars franchise makes me sometimes sick - Cmon man! Make a game! We will buy it anyway!
Indiana Jones - also great marketing, lot of web docs and blablabla - but was movie as great as any of old ones?

Few days ago played again Jedi outcast and Jedi Academy. Academy sucks in story but is so satisfying with fights, and Outcast is just great… I really would like to see Jedi Knight series born again.

Last thing. I do not know how you think about it. But why they put so many extra shining effects when in TFU some force power is used. In Episode 3 - Anakin vs. Obi Wan when they both use force push against each other there is no shining light around them and it is great. Why in games they put that crap in?

WTF. An archaic pc could play TFU twice as good as a ps2 and yet they can make it for that. This in completley unfair if they are to do this then they should make a kotor 3 and make it only for pc users. My system didn’t even cost $1000 and it runs pretty much everything in max, how the hell will not run TFU. Neither euphoria nor DMM looks that cpu intense, plus most people own at least a mid-pc and even those have better processing power than a 360 or even a ps3. Not to mentnion some monitors have even higher definition than a tv (1080i sometimes p depends on the monitor) and yet they don’t mention that. As a final note: (no offense) if one cannot afford a decent computer, one is not able to afford a 50-60$ game.
