Um... Where on Earth did you come up with Battlefront III and KOTOR III? Although they seem possible, there's truly no purpose. Battlefront II was good enough, unless they add Yuuzhan Vong in III, I see no point. KOTOR III, though, you never know, do you?

SWBF3 will be out in Fall 2008 thats where I got it from now if LA is smart they would have a ranking system like bf2 and 2142 to keep the game alive and KOTOR 3 will be out....your guess is as good as mine probally in time when they can use DX10 but thats wishfull thinking

Well, this may be depressing. Again, BFIII will not take all the maps from BFII, instead making its own maps. I hated BFII when they took Rhen Var out, now they're taking more out. Depressing, and btw, I don't own an Xbox, so I couldn't have just gotten the map pack.

Wow, I think the petition is working. Talk about Forces Unleashed on PC have spread throughout LA, and I'm pretty sure they're considering. Let's pray, unless your religion doesn't allow you to pray.

A LA spokes person has actually said that in the future of LA's games, Battlefront and Knights of the Old Republic will not be left behind. Not sure why you guys are complaining about no MP in the KOTOR games, these were simply not meant to be online games and frankly multiplayer on them wouldn't work.

Back on topic though, We shouldn't give up hope on a PC version of the Force Unleashed. LA didn't state that they are making it for the Wii but in a recent article they also stated that they "haven't ruled it out". The same could possible for a PC version, and while this is no reason to get your hopes up, it is reason to keep showing your support of a PC version.

Just think of it this way: Halo 2, the Xbox case says For Xbox Only! Look what happened there. I quoted George Lucas on the movies never going to home video. Look where they ended up. Never give up hope, there's always a possibility.

And you heard this where ? They edited the "release platforms" page on the TFU website to edit out the "next gen=PC" question

KOTO3 would not include online because that would make it an MMORPG and lucasarts already has one Star Wars Galaxies,plus i bet you anything you'd have to pay monthly for it (altho if its anything like SWG it'd be worth it

I was under the impression...that if you added Multiplayer to KOTOR... It would resemble Never Winter nights with better graphics, which to my understanding..is not a MMORPG...

It's not much to ask... Lanning/Internet capability where you can kill other players or join forces in quests or w/e that would expand the playability factor of that game. Who in the blazes would waste their time playing a single player only game 3 or 4 times.. Get a life. Lord forbid they bring out another Star Wars MMORPG...that would be bad.. Yeah right.

I'm still waiting for Star Wars Galaxies to come to my friggin continent...how long has it been now? like 6 years?

I just want to make it clear to whoever owns the license for this game/genre...That the world doesnt just exist out of the States and Europe or their opinions.

You have a point, but look at it through their perspective. Europe and the US are where they're going to make the most profit out of it, and it's where they are. Of course they're going to hold them in high regard. Yes, it takes a while to spread, but it does. 6 years is a little high, true, but why not buy it online? You can type in English, why not buy the game? I see no problem, unless there's a legal factor I'm missing.

First of all the Halo games are devloped by Microsoft for Xbox only and when they lived up thier hype value they release for PC like over a year later.
Now back on topic.If enough people light up Lucasarts website forums with posts about this,it may actually make a difference.Let's remember lucasarts was basically built off PC gamers and you better believe they dont want to piss off what little of a core audience they have left.

Yes, they did start with PC games. *ex. X-Wing vs TIE Fighter* But although we are a target for satisfaction, we need to face the facts: Console gaming is at its peak. True, we came first, but what brings in the dough? I wouldn't doubt that it will come out for PC within the next few months. All games have cycles, and right now, PC is at the lower end. When Forces Unleashed does come out for PC, so will several other games from different or the same franchise. They go where the money flows, it's natural instinct for big-time designers.

Weighing consoles against computers is like weighing a semi against a freight train. Sure, the Semi can go other places other than the track, but in terms of half life.. The computer wins hands down. Where is the Sega Saturn now? Or the PS1? Or the X-Box 1 for that matter? Thanks largely to the fact that Windows is platform specific...*cough* PC *Cough*, we'll be around much longer than they will, regardless of their capability to go onto the net or play multiplayer games, watch DVD's, etc... The computer market is highly comparable with the console market, the only catch is, the games. If games are writen/coded specifically for consoles, then every 10 year old is going to begg mommy and daddy for the newest console every 3 - 4 years at the cost of [insert price tag here] only to get it replaced by a newer, better version that costs just as much, if not more. The computer? Costs less to upgrade than to buy a new console especially in 3rd world countries such as Africa, it's almost a 10th of the price and with the abibily to emulate console games which I believe, the consoles can't do. It's no contest. Sure, we have to sit on the tracks inbetween stations, but we can build tracks to go where ever we want them to and the Semi's can't exactly go off road. Except in Australia...

Stupid Ausiez...

Here's some info from an article from smartmoney.com
" Online PC games have been around since the 1990s, but it hasn't been until recently that they've become such a lucrative and growing business. There are more than 124 million PC gamers in the U.S. alone, according to independent market research firm Yankee Group.
David Cole, an analyst at DFC Intelligence, a videogame research firm based in San Diego, estimates that the online gaming market for PC games will grow from a current $4 billion annually to $10 billion by 2011.
DFC's Cole says the online-gaming market for the consoles is a mere $200 million to $300 million currently. He expects it to grow to around $3 billion by 2011."

Dont think PC gamers are going extinct anytime soon

I forgor to put my point in....*kicks self*

The point is, hats off to all the stupid kiddies who go out and support console gaming at the cost of an arm and a leg only to lock the thing up in a closet after a few months.

Heres another great article to read,heres a few paragraphs and a link.From Forbes.com

"The console games business is going to die and be replaced by something better. It might not be because making game consoles is now so expensive that they will break the platform companies themselves; it will also probably not be because you will be able to pirate console games on the net like any other piece of static media, and it is certainly not because computer games are a fad.

Simply put, massively multiplayer games will take over and they will be subscription-based, and available on a PC or whatever that platform morphs into.

The hardware monopoly wielded by Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo becomes irrelevant when you can play an unstealable real-time game on the family PC over the net. One game, $1 billion in sales: Warcraft is the writing on the wall for the console makers.
Will there be a PS4? Perhaps, but not a PS5."

I dont know about you guys,but when it comes to the future of gaming,I'd rather believe real analysts and articles then simply peoples own dilusions on a forum board.

I agree, my family has nothing to get me so they get me consoles, which I found to run out of lust. PC will keep going, but so will consoles. As someone stated, I expect by the time the PS5 is out *which will no doubt not use a TV, just be a hologram, in my opinion* a new computer software that matches it will also be out. We just need to know this: MONEY. Money is why they make consoles and console games. I know plenty of consoles *ahem* Xbox that came from PC. Sony, an electronic company, which was electronics before it was PS1, and, well, GameCube and stuff, they came on their own. All we need is faith. LA knows who to satisfy, and Forces Unleashed will come to us soon. *Hopefully, the PS7 won't be out by then at the rate they're cranking out consoles*

And Wes, you have a good point. Consoles to cupcakes with PCs to cakes. The consoles are just to sweeten the child, while the PC keeps you occupied. Great analogy!

Hopefully you're more wise than Wes Janson... But, anyways, back on topic! Forces Unleashed is a game very similar to others. It starts on one thing and spreads to all *of course, the chances of Halo going to Sony are zip* We just need patience... But, of course, I have a copy reserved for PS3.

I agree that PCs are better of course but im not sure whether or not i agree with the analysts' idea about there not being a PS5. On the one hand one has to ask: "Will the PS4 and a possible PS5 really be that much different or revolutionary?" I mean when it comes down to it, the PS3 is basically the PS2 with a video upgrade. will people really be that interested in a PS4 when all it offers is better graphics? why not just get a PC and have the ability to upgrade the graphics card when ever you want rather then wait years for another several hundred dollar console to come out? this seems like a logical idea but then with the PS3 there were people camping out side stores for days, taking off work, and faring the weather and for what? an upgraded PS2? my point is don't rule out willingness to buy expensive consoles by people who have never experienced PC gaming.
