Lucasarts is not planning on releasing Force Unleashed on the PC.As pointed out on the Force.net http://theforce.net/videogames/story/Force_Unleased_For_PC_103753.asp

I don't mean to stir anything here, but I looked all over Lucas Arts.com and found no "official word" of it not being on the PC. http://www.lucasarts.com/games/platform.html

This is the only thing I can assume that people are basing it off of, but if you look, they dont even have it listed for the XBOX 360 nor the PS3. I may be blind and I may just be missing the "official word " somewhere on the LA site, but I am seeing the exact same thing over at the Unreal Tournament 3 site.

Heck, over there they even have a sticky thread stating that "if it hasnt come from EPIC, it isnt true" and people are still trying to hype up differant things about it just by hear say or just wanting to start rumors.

If there is more info on this besides what Mags have posted/published or what threads that users made on the LA forums, please share. I am curious. Thanks

Actually Miner they have listed for support,Next Generation COnsoles which is made of Xbox360,PS3 and Wii and then also the older consoles and portables.They simply do not list PC becuse its not going to support it,they would never come out with a big press release or announcement stating its not coming for the PC,instead they simply list what platforms it will be supported on and we all know the rest.
Remember were talking about Lucasarts here who have had way of not caring what PC gamers really think even though were the ones who bought all thier old games and made them what they are today.
This trend started with the release of the Episode 3 game to console only.We also just recently sawy Lethal Alliance released only for portables as well.My guess is theres big money changing hands to get them to commit to a console only format but in the hand the PC gamers will suffer.

Vis is right, If they were making it for PC it would say PC. Since it doesn't we can assume they do not intend it for PC. And LA hasn't done a great deal to show its appreciation for PC player in games like SWB2, but then they did make E@W and FoC which are only for PC. But their support for PC in other games is disappointing. For example, the Xbox version of SWB2 eventually got some of the best SWB1 maps officially released as well as some new heroes. PC gets a sub par patch and is left behind. I have to disagree however with saying that Lethal Alliance for the portables only was a bad move. it was clearly made to be a portable game and that only, and if it was made for other consoles it would just get bad ratings because you cant judge a portable game by next gen console standards. but back to the topic at hand. people should go a head and sign the petition. For all those thinking it wont even help because LA will probably not even pay attention to it or take it in to consideration (and I admit I find myself thinking of that myself), think about this: even if signing it might not help, it definitely wont hurt and takes maybe 15 seconds to sign, so why not do it anyway? Isn't it worth it to take 15 seconds to get a great game to be made for PC, even if the chances are small? Just do it help a good cause.

A lot of good points Krayt.I am honestly starting to believe that its more on the devlopers end and not so much maybe the Lucasarts when it comes to how the games get supported after thier release.But as far as when a new game is coming out,Lucasarts clearly dictates the platforms and by thumbing thier nose to the PC gamers with Force Unleashed,its obvious theyve forgotten the gamers that supported them all these years before consoles even were popular.
For many of us anxiously awaiting a new saber game since the release of Jedi Academy over 3 years ago,Force Unleashed looks amazing and it would be a shame not have a PC version for us to play.
Sign the petition,you just never know what can happen

I would love it to come out on the PC. It is true, LA hasnt paid as much attention to the PC games as it should have. I will defintely get it for 360 though.

As long as money flows through LA, they r happy and will dow hat they want.

Nothing, but it's the absolute least you could do. Then again, with your mentality, who cares about anything?

and the cause of telling us how you dont care does matter to you? you say you wont take 10 seconds to sign a petition yet you seem to have all the time in the world to come on this topic and post all about how you don't really care.

Exactly. He says he doesn't want to take 10 seconds to type his name and click a button, yet he has probably spent somewhere close to 5 minutes reading this topic and posting on it. I personally find that to be quite funny.

Well, at this stage the gaming community is devided into the old generation and the new. The old or 1st generation of gamers were the people born in the 80's and prior, with only the PC available. Consoles had for the most part not been invented, excluding 8 bit gaming ofcourse. Back then, TV-Games were being born. With the advent of the Sega Megadrive, things started changing. Everyone who was around to see these events will sign this petition because the only games we could play at that stage were computer games. Those who don't, I dont even see what your doing here... Go get a PS3 or X-Brick 360 and stop posting pesimistic views that get the hopes of others down. This petition is an attempt at trying to achieve something.

Kids who were born after the release of the Megadrive, grew up in a world of Playstations, Nintendos, Dreamcasts, Saturns, Xboxs. Now, these people will generally stick to consoles which is still a growing market, getting all their innovation from the computer market. If Lucas Arts turns it's back on it's origional fan/supportbase (Which are the computer geeks), then it won't stay profitable for long.

>I just felt like saying that for some odd reason.

Asuka your pretty much correct.I read an article recently though about the future of Consoles and it said they expect the next Xbox version which will be in about 4 years is going to be turned into basically a cross between a console and PC with a keyboard and everything with inter play capability between actual PC and console users so then we should see a complete merging of both generations.

To mention, never say petitions won't do anything. The Declaration of Independence was practically a petition for freedom from Britain. And I've been furious at them not releasing it for PC, so I've gone site to site. Not much news, Star Wars Republic Commando 2, a new Expansion for EaW, all was old until I found a little clip about SW Forces Unleashed being like Halo 2. They grow it up a bit, say two or three months, then it gets released on the PC. All we can say is, keep in touch. You never know when LucasArts might have a change of heart.

To be honest, the only place I trust info is Star Wars Insider. As their name goes, they've got the inside scoop. They'll put something about it sooner or later. Maybe they already did, I just didn't read the article. But anyways, they've been updated on nearly every LucasArts game, so I'd trust them if you have no where else to look.

And always remember the words that prove Lucas changes his mind, and I'll quote Lucas exactly as he said it nearly 30 years ago: "Star Wars will never go to home video".

I dont wanna piss in anyones corn flakes but LA is NOT gonna care if you have 3/4 of the world sign your pettion they did that with the new content thing for xbox live only for SWBF2 let them take all the time they want to work on SWBF3 or KOTOR3 then they will do what they normally do and hand out a patch or 2 that does nothing and forget about it. The dont see PC gamers as cash cows like consoule games granted I would love to see it on pc but LA's track record with PC games sux...anyone remember KOTOR 2? I wish you the best of luck with your petition.
Cheers
