Jecht	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Star Wars games just plain feel right on my Computer. You all really pissed a LARGER portion of your fans off by negating PC production. I'm sure if the designers/producers ever read these boards they will realize how much time they wasted by just making it for consoles. GG Reply

Balanced View	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I understand the commercial reasoning for what they are saying, having a 360 and a gaming pc I can also understand the frustrations of the PC gamers... Lucasarts morally should have committed to creating a pc version as that is where much of their heritage lies. Personally (not having played them however) I would suspect the quality of the PS2 / PSP / Wii versions. Their reasons 'watering down' the game don't hold up for this reason, therefore indeed it seems that loyalty to fans has been negated by a need to make profit. The surprising thing is that LA must have known how the PC Gamers would react and yet they havent fashioned some more articulate reasons. This I guess 'is just one of those things'. 2 final points worth thinking about...(and im genuinely interested, not 'a fanboy') 1. I would like to ask any less public facing member of the LA development team how they feel about neglecting their up till now most avid and fanatical of users? (as alot of game developers thrive on the feedback of users (take peter molyneux at lionhead as example)) 2. Much game development and future thinking can come out of the 'hackers' creating mod's and add ons and the developers realising the commercial potential of it. correct me if I am wrong (im not wholly sure about this) but isnt that where counterstrike initially came from, an opensource mod for half life? on the whole its not good for the hardcore pc gamer, but LA may be morally taken aback by all these comments but they won't take it to heart as the PS3 and xbox versions will sell like hotcakes. I think they will be more concerned with the average reviews that it is getting! Reply

Conan_Lon	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post There have been many comments posted here that I agree with and I'd like to take the time to say so. I think the real reason they did not release for the PC market is due to ROI. Call it what you will but I seriously doubt developers get many support calls from console owners about "I cannot install this" or "It does not work with xxx hardware" etc. Piracy might have played a small factor as well but check out how well Galactic Civilizations is doing...they do not utilize anti-theft mechanisms like SecurRom. Check out "The Gamers Bill of Rights" on their web site. What makes me mad is that they did not come out and say it and instead spew nonsense that anyone can see through...not a very effective smoke screen at all. They should be embarrassed about this. Not wanting to support a platform because of support and financial issues might cause them to loose some customers but at least they won't loose respect. For this reason, I am going to break the XBOX 360 disc that I bought. Well, this reason and the fact it was also a stupid idea to require the character's nose as a pointing device rather than the view screen. DuH! This is quite a sad state of affairs because I was a fan of the company. Reply

MisterDC	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Well I guess yet another company is dropping the people that got them started. And if you have had to dumb the game down for these consoles its not worth us PC players even buying so keep your game and keep your consoles. There are plenty of games manufactures out there that top Lucas Arts anyway. Well here is a PC gamer saying stick it, I wont be buying anymore Lucas Arts game :P Reply

KnitGnosis	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Absolute total bullshit! They don't make it for the PC cause they want all us true gamers that dropped tons of money on a real gaming machine to spend another 500 on a console to boost console sales and make the figures pretty. I was so excited for this game to be released just to be let down because I'm not one of those stupid trendy idiots that doesn't know how to work a computer so I buy a lame ass console instead. The game was developed using a PC! All 3D graphics and coding are done on PC and then ported to the console. WTF Wouldn't they release a PC version at all, when its already there. And the average home desktop computer is as powerful if not more powerful than any of the consoles out now. Any serious PC gamer that would want to play a game like this will have a system more than able to run the game without a problem. Seriously name one game a medium/high end PC can't run better than console. Crysis cant even run on any console cause its too powerful, and they make a 700 dollar PC that can run it. Even if you have to turn a few features off or down, if its as great a game as they are making it out to be it would still be awesome to play even if your graphics arent all pretty and shiny and running 16xAA Reply

PCGamer	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Everyone here should know that what Lucas wants Lucas gets. That includes no TFU for the PC. This could only happen if Lucas allowed it. Obviously George has forgotten where the Star Wars gaming roots started and those of us loyals that always supported it. Although we might not matter much to him anymore I suggest we all boycott any of his future works not limited to games, movies, merchandise. If anyone wants my copy of THX1138 original cut on laser disc it will be on eBay with various other BS Lucas garbage. Reply

BenDover	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post That pain you feel in your colon is George Lucas using you and throwing you away. So what if you always supported Star Wars PC gaming and everything else the Emperor has produced? Your really just a piece of SS to him. Ironic isn't it, getting screwed by a CNT? Help us Obi-Wan from the real Empire of Greed and Darkness. George Walton Lucas Jr. Reply

Anonymous	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Very sad indeed. I have really been hoping for a pc version to come sooner or later. The thought of bying a console just for one game feels quite stupid, after all I'm not a hardcore gamer :P Really bad decission Lucasarts Reply

Ceria	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post It's unfortunate that they would be so absent minded about who has seriously contributed to the fandom and success of the starwars series. I may not be like him and have a 4k computer system, but a dual core is plenty enough to run that game, and i'm utterly disappointed in their oversight. It's not reasonable to screw us out of playing the best sw game ever. Reply

shinmai	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post "Most of you punks here have no idea about what a pain in the butt it is to develop for PC." SO TRUE! I mean anyone who's tried developing on both Windows and XB360 will definitely agree. It's a whole different thing..</sarcasm> Tried both the PSP (way less than $200 retail) and NDS (also, way less than $200 retail) versions, and even ran the PS2($50?)-title on an emulator with my laptop ($600), and can honestly say, that these versions are definitely on par with what the PS3 can offer.. (damn it, I thought I already turned sarcasm off..) And as we all know, there's pretty much no piracy on consoles, right? Yeah, no bullcrap here, totally intelligent decision. Reply

IdiotSavant	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post LoL - what do you think is going to happen here? A $hitload of people will find the ISO of the game somewhere online and then find an emulator to run it. Deal done. This was a complete disregard to the entire populace who has PCs and have help up LucasArt games since the days of Windows 3.1 and 95. Simple and plain, they produced this game for mass distribution purposes. Since some time has passed, and reviews have been done, most people think the game was good, but was over quickly. That tells you something there - mass produced game to appeal to the console kiddies - a quick buck and nothing more. Reply

LolConsoles	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Ok, so they dont want to release because piracy on PC, well thats about to change, I didnt want to void my warranty but like hell im going to let them win. I would gladly buy the PC game.... since thats the only way to get the best image possible on the game. Ohh no PC? ur only offering us a crappy watered down version on the xbox? ohh sorry then im not going to waste my money on your watered down game, whenever you can offer a real version ill spend the money, for now....... Grats console manufacturers, welcome to pissed off gamers, with the money im going to save from buying all those sub-par graphics games i can replace any damaged console hardware many times over. Xbox DVD Drive reflashing in progress... Welcome to free console games for me. See yas! Reply
