Force unleashed coming to PC??

[stefan9]

I guess they found out you don't need a $4000 pc to run the game.

It’s crazy that this isn’t already in the wild, but turns out plans for a PC version of heavily-physicsed Star Wars Sith ‘em up The Force Unleashed were quietly revealed at NVIDIA’s recent NVISION 08 conference. RPS’ super-secret spy at the event has sent us an audio recording of Pixelux Entertainment (the company behind The Force Unleashed’s physics tech) COO Vik Sohal saying this in the middle of his talk about game physics:

“…Just been released last week on the internet, the Force Unleashed demo on both the PS3 and Xbox 360. We have a PC version as well.”

So there you have it. I’m pretty sure this is an exclusive, but it’s possible I’m just really bad at using Google. Big thanks to RPS’s super-secret spy for this.

He also goes on to detail that “we did rely heavily on GPU acceleration” for the game’s physics (possibly via NVIDIA’s CUDA tech, but as that would leave anyone with an ATI card hanging, it’s perhaps unlikely), making this most likely the first high profile game to implement this much-discussed concept.

Unfortunately, The Force Unleashed isn’t garnering great reviews. But hey, it’s nice that the PC isn’t left in the cold.

What, did one of them play Crysis?

Anyway, it seems to be a trend these days... Deny that a PC port is in the works, and then pull a "Oh, we were just lying" thing later. Sells them more games on ****ty platforms first, I guess.

There is an update from LucasArts denying a pc version

there's also a ps2 version out and the ps2 is the most underpowerd console from the previous generation ! all these statements being released are just a bunch of BS since the ps2 dont have any physics at all and they'll probably port that version to pc in the end anyway !
