Bob	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post That dude is just a glorified console snob. To claim that the PS2 is going to be able to put out a better experience than a low-end $300 PC is total bull -- a mid-range PC with a decent video card can emulate the PS2 at full speed in very high resolution, because PS2 hardware is about equivalent to a seven or eight year old PC. These people need to stop their lying. Honesty would at least allow us to respect their decision. Reply

VoodooKing	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I can't believe it. It's his first game he's developing and only 4 years in the business. Oh my god. We're being screwed over by a newbie. Mr. Cameron, you are screwing Lucasarts customers who have been playing for over 10 years. And what is the excuse with the $4000 computer? Almost 99% of all newer computers are at least better than the DS and Wii and those who have older computers know that they need to upgrade. SO STOP WITH YOUR EXCUSES AND MAKE THIS GAME FOR THE PC ALREADY! Report Reply

Who cares	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post So my rig, that I build whith so much love nad care and that I'm upgrading everyfew months won't be able to run their "marvellous" piece of code? I'll put theur claims to test: I'll get me a pirat copy of the game and run it on emulator and when I find out that it runs great like that I'll find a way to make as much as posible PC gamers know how to do it too. And if they release the game for PC I'll again get a pirate copy, becouse it seems that all the PC gamers are pirates, aren't we? Then I'll just buy some better game from Steam and enjoy it too.

FreedomFighter	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Excuses, you must love them...low end pc's=high end consoles you can buy a low end pc for say $300, if it has a PCI-e slot, you can get a 8600 or an 8800 graphics card for around $100, bringing your total to around $400, add in some reasonable ram and your looking at $450, much less than a console and also better in most aspects. Lets dissect the xbox and PS3 for a sec, what are they accept dumbed down PC's? lets face it, PC gamers are intelligent, most, not all, but most console gamers prefer dumbed down interfaces and controls because there unable to deal with actually exercising their brain to some extent. Im not saying all PC gamers are intelligent, but lets face it, PC games have a longer lifespan than console games, when your done with a console game, whats left?? you throw it on the shelf for it to collect dust, on the PC, you get out a few cans of soda and some snacks and see how you cant improve the game through mods. Hell, im part of a modding team for Crysis, we are making a star wars mod for the game. We have already incorporated a large quantity of force power such as Push, pull, lift, lightning, mind trick. In fact, some of what we have done had to be redone because it was never intended to be allowed in Crysis and breaks German law, associated with ragdolls on dead bodies using the force. It might take a little work to make the game for PC as well as consoles, but if there going through all the work to rebuild the game for so many systems, why not PC?? offering a watered down experience, or a different experience on lower settings, is that not what the Wii, ps2 and so on are offering??? a lower experience?? $4000 worth of a machine would give me a machine that would compete with NASA, i have no interest in a $4000 machine, my $600 machine runs Crysis on high, so what type of machine would I need to run TFU??? a 16 core processor with 18 gigs of ram with a videocard that shoots out lasers to simulate a more realistic experience???? Seriously...excuses are only good when they hold some type of merit... Im dissapointed in lucasarts...actually in the gaming industry as a whole...few developers these days develop for PC, those that do I fully support, even in saying "were not closing the doors on pc" is mearly stating that there just letting the door close on its own. I will never buy a console, not because I dont think that there any good, but my PC is better than a console, always will be, I prefer games that I can customize, than I can enjoy with my preferences. You cant do that on a console... Refusing to bring games to the PC is a mistake...even if the consoles are the hot thing right now and what brings in the most money, caring about the customers is not so much caring about the money, its about caring about the people wants and needs. Lucas arts needs to take a look at what people want...if it "hurts" that the PC community are offended, then do something about it...bring the game to PC, bring the game back home. Make the game for all platforms, not just everything but PC...thats just an insult to the gaming community... Reply

Indomidable	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I feel the same way as all the PC - Gammers... And as far as piracy goes... How many 30-50$ games have you bought that you put on the shelf the next week and never played again due to false advertising. So, yeah I like to download and test a new game first if I like it I buy it. Now if shareware allowed you to experiance the full game, 1 time then I'd just do that. But usually it's 15 min then done. If a game can't hold my attention for an hour then I don't want it. (Puzzle Games Excluded). As to the porting to making for PC... XBOX uses DirectX... Has from it's conception! So yeah you've got your Graphics, Sound, and USB devices already handled! A better configurable interface and support for my Fatali1ty Xi-Fi Sound Card is about it. I spent 1.5k for my system last year. And I can play everything max settings I've bought! If I need a newer video card no prob. But would I buy a crappy Console no way!!! The CD/DVD/HD-DVD drive fails on it and what do you have? Scrap! My drives burn out that's just a simple replacement. My CPU is too slow minor upgrade. Need more then 2GB of RAM OK not a problem. Can't upgrade a console. But my PC can emulate a PS2 I'd be astounded if it couldn't emulate a XBOX360 or even the PS3. Since to make a console your using parts at least 1 year old. It's not like they're cutting edge tech. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360#Hardware Looking at the Hardware of the XBOX 360 it's got 3 CPU's, and 512 MB Video Card by ATI (So NVidia 8800 users video card stomps it to the dirt!) Now looking at the PS3 seven of the eight CPU's are used. 6 For games 1 for the OS... Uses NVIDIA RSX 256 MB... Basically a 7800/7900 GPU... So you got an 8800+ your Stomping Both Consoles in pure GPU power!... Not sure how efficiently they're actually using the Cell nor how fast they're running but I'm sure a dual core system would be sufficient for this. But Seriously, if there were a game that required me to get a quad core I'd do it in a heartbeat! What I'm not going to do is get a disposable computer (Console) I grew out of those with my last one (the 2600 from Atari) Computers are where the future is consoles are just to help the younger generations adapt. Basically the phrase if we were to build it to the High End Computers (These are the people with the money who won't pirate your game!)... Then the low end would loose out of the full graphical experience..." The BS of that statement is founded on 1986-1991 When CGA, EGA, VGA, SVGA were all common. You upgraded to play the game at the better settings or you just dealt with it! It's been the computer gaming theme since EGA came out! Every computer Gamer expects to need to upgrade to play the newest/best Games! Hence, all the upset LA Fans! I saved up and bought X-Wing back in 1993 owned almost every single PC game since then! Didn't get Rebel Assault (because it was a console port you go from open space X-Wing/Tie-Figter) to a few select ways of attacking a target and it get's annoying! Seriously until PS2 console games were like baby version of Computer Games. Even now w/o the ability to really MOD. It's still like using Training wheels on a bike(Console) vs a Super Bike (PC) Granted no PC is the same! And that's where Layers like DirectX/Open GL/SDL Come in and help the Developer! Don't tell me your compiler won't work for 32 bit / 64 bit CPU's... And if a game I want is only 64 Bit! So, be it I'll get 64 Bit O/S... Not a problem the fact of the matter is BS is BS and we are to intelligent to be told that, without posting something! Reply

Chris	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I agree with most of the comments posted on here. To say you need a $4000 rig is an absolutely incredible and inacurate statement to make from Mr Suey. I have had a PC for many years and upgrade on average every 12 to 18 months to make sure I can play the latest games on high settings at worst and have never spent anymore than £600 at a time. Every self respecting PC gamer knows the real reason behind this side step is because of piracy. Nothing more & nothing less. I also have a Wii and if I had the choice of buying this game for a PC or the Wii then the answer will always be the PC. Why? Because of the huge gap in power the PC has over the Wii and I also know that my current PC is still more powerfull than the latest so called Next Gen Consoles. The strangest thing about all this is that if this had come out on the PC I would have bought this game 100% but seeing as this is now only availible to me on the Wii I am now going to pirate it on my chipped system because why should I have to pay for a "Watered Down Version" at a higher cost than if it were on the PC. Lucas Arts have really dropped a clanger with this one and it will surely come back to haunt them. Reply
