Gurges-Ahter Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Yeah, it's truly a shame that us devoted PC enthusiasts that have been fans since the beginning, won't have the opportunity to bring out TFU's full potential, because it would be a "Watered Down Experience" on a PC :sarcasm:. Too bad Lucas Arts has to be that money hungry. Cyne Stay a fan and buy a console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyne Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Stay a fan and buy a console. Well like I said, I'm a devoted PC enthusiast. I have no interest in paying $500 for a console which will only be used for 1 game and 1 game only, despite being a fan. It's not like Lucas Arts needs the money, they will make more than enough profit for all TFU sales on all the other platforms, there's absolutely no reason why a PC version can't be developed.

Boba Rhett Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 ...there's absolutely no reason why a PC version can't be developed. I'm fairly confident that LA has a couple* reasons why they shouldn't pursue it. *= million(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyuuKage Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 it would be unlikely to be profitable for one thing...just because the other versions make money doesn't mean its a good idea to subsidize the existence of another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@RS Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 You rock man i agree besides if they do make TFU for PC i will advertise it on my website it's not big but it will get the word out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Skywalker Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Seriously, why not just make the game for the PC with both DX10 DMM and Euphoria ver and DX9 "watered down" ver? It's still the game everyone is anticipating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKA-001 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 If they're going to make a version for the N-Gage then they should for the NES as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 It's too bad a company like Lucas Arts has to be greedy. have a business model.Fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurges-Ahter Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Agreed, Prime. It would be great if LA only cared about the satisfaction of its legions of SW fans, but it is still a business, after all. I know they aren't choosing to not release a PC version just to piss PC users off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leXX Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 For goodness sake it's 2008! If you like playing games, go and buy a console. If you can't afford one, start saving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@RS Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 NO! PCs rock they aren't just toys they're tools too, I can do an English Essay and play Jedi Outcast on the same machine, why by a really expensive toy?

leXX Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 You know you could have both, or do you have an extremely small bedroom or something? And a 360 only costs £160 now. I'd hardly call that "really expensive". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sticking with what I have a really freaking good PC no matter what Lucas Arts does or doesn't do.PCs do rock and they are tools - I don't disagree with any of that. But if you really want to play TFU, buy a console. It's really that simple. You can stick with your "really freakin good PC" and use it for everything else you want, but you can't play TFU on it, no matter how "freakin good" it is.

I'd hardly call that "really expensive". Like a previous user said, a PC is not just a toy, it's a versatile tool. A console is just a toy And yes, 300-400 dollars + the game is expensive if it's only going to be used for one thing, to play that 1 game. I still have PC games from the 1990's that still work on my high-end, Windows XP machine. For consoles, in a matter of 2-3 years, there will be a new generation of consoles and your previous games may or may not work for the new platform. Yes, I do understand it is still a business. But look at it another way - if your business is dependent on customers, would you not want them to be satisfied ones? Developing customer loyalty and a good track record to encourage people to keep buying future products? But how can they if you suddenly stop producing product that counts for a large chunk of your customer base? Cyne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I'm not suggesting you buy a console and then only buy one game to play on it. Come on now, be serious. It's an investment in your gaming enjoyment. I can't imagine any serious gamer in this day and age not owning at least one of the consoles. You have to cover all the bases. No amount of ranting about there not being a PC version is going to change the fact that there isn't going to be one (at least not when it is first released), so if you seriously want to play TFU, then you have no other choice. Play it, or don't play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@RS Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 or someone could mod a previous star wars game on PC and make starkiller, animations (with him using Shien {look it up}) , and maybe a couple of maps? It's a lot of work but no way will it be harder than what the original programmers went through to make TFU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one, it's called a PlayStation 2. It's not as much as not having money as it is about spending atleast 200 euros on a console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
