A PC version maybe?
I'd love to play it, but I'm not buying 360 just for one game.

Shame

It seems that more and more titles now are console only.

LUCASARTS CONFIRMS FORCE UNLEASHED TO BE RELEASED ON PC

Upcoming next-gen game from LucasArts to ship for PC in 2008

SAN FRANCISCO, CA. — April 1, 2007 — Originally planned to be solely released for consoles and handheld platforms, the upcoming next-gen game being developed in-house by LucasArts, The Force Unleashed, has been confirmed by LucasArts to be released on PC shortly after its console version release in Q2 of 2008. This unexpected move has been reportedly due to extreme fan demand for a PC version.

“Originally the game was only going to be developed [by LucasArts] for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. But after enormous cry for a PC version, we have decided to begin development on the PC version of Force Unleashed,” said LucasArts President Jim Ward. When asked about euphoria and Digital Molecular Matter (DMM) being implemented on the PC, he responded, “While I don’t know all the technical specifications, it is my understanding that both euphoria and DMM will be able to run smoothly on the PC by 2008.”

“The game will be nearly identical on the PC to its console counterparts,” Ward reassured. “All PC games have their differences such as controls and this one is no different.”

The game will be shown at the Electronic Entertainment Exposition (E3) July 11-13, 2007, in Santa Monica, California.

Additional information about Star Wars: The Force Unleashed can be found on the LucasArts web site at http://lucasarts.com/games/theforceunleashed.

Once it drops in price, I will pick it up. No way am I going to pay $60 for a 10 hour game, no matter how much fun it is.

Have any of you guys played Jedi Outcast/Academy? If yes, how is The Force Unleashed compared to those?

Because if it's as good as those games, I might buy an 360.

I hope they'd reconsider and make one for the pc! The previous games on the pc was not a flop I loved it Kotor 1 and 2, Republic Commando, Outcast/Academy. They all rock... I unno about the RTS but for me those games rocked and kept me hooked with the starwars universe.

Its far better

Im on the final mission at the moment (The 'under construction' Deathstar) I just had to bring down an Imperial Star Destroyer using 'The Force'..........one of the greatest in-game moments I have ever seen!

It's better on PS3

Lol I have it on PS3, seem to be the only one here who does! I tried it on my 360, I didn't like it, controls are a little easier to manipulate for me on the PS3...plus it looks prettier!

Think of it with the dark-side powers magnified about 1000 times. That's Force Unleashed.

Get it on the Wii, not 360. The control scheme will make up for the lesser graphics Plus it's cheaper :P

Sadly, its all about money. Companies don't want to lose money to piracy on PC's, thats the truth. Look what Epic is doing:

http://www.techshout.com/gaming/2008...-says-cliffyb/

I don't blame them. If my job was to make video games for a living I wouldn't even bother making them for PC. My company would be at battle with giants like EA and Valve. The ability to buy games online through Steam is great, but the ability to pirate PC games will never cease. I know consoles can be modded to allow burned games but the reality is the average console gamer could give a crap about modding. The average console gamer buys or rents their games. The average PC gamer uses torrents and pirates them. That is the reality. Companies are realizing this and more and more titles will become console exclusive.

But back to the topic, I hope this comes to PC!
