Seriously, how can anyone take Lucas Arts seriously?

Greetings!

Why do you say that?
It was obvious SWFU would come to PC.
Same thing with GTA4.

Umm, do you even know what Lucas Arts said a few months ago? GTA 4 is WAY different then Force unleashed, Lucas Arts said there never would be a Pc version because only a $4000 Pc would run it, and they didn't want a watered down experience, despite it being on the Wii, and PS2.

And that comment was ridiculed in half the WWW.

lol, if £400 PC can't run any well ported the game at max settings or even better than console graphics. i am willing to jump off a cliff.

the fact that statement is mentioned shows how lazy the developers are.

Heavy sigh. Apologies for the false alarm. I can promise you our source was absolutely convinced by what he told us, and that we’ve got a recording of the exact quote below (and can provide it to terrifying lawyers if necessary), but guess Vik Sohal just expressed it very badly. Or there’s a crazy conspiracy, which seems unlikely at this point.

I love the £4000 PC comment. Isn't it coming to the Wii though? That's equivilant to what? A £40 PC?

IMHO they're mad not releasing this on the PC... or total gits. Not sure which.

E.E.L. Ambiense · 8th Sep 2008, 20:39

Total misunderstanding. But what really annoys me, being a hardcore PC gamer, is the thing they said about the computer needed to be able run this if it were to be released. We all know this is total BS, but it's an insult to the PC community. We all know consoles can't keep up with PC in terms of quality/horsepower/IQ/resolution/etc. This is a given. But, come on.....they're releasing it for bloody iPhone and mobile gaming! ....Whatever, Lucas Arts. Whatever.

I was under the impression this was coming to PC from Day one. When did that stop and it wasnt??

WildThing · 9th Sep 2008, 00:09

I think its great that its coming to PC, but I saw my cousin playing the demo on the 360 the other day, and to be honest - meh. It didn't look any way near as fun or sophisticated as Jedi Outcast.

Wait.
You seem to be implying Lucas Arts Were taken seriously at some point?

outlawaol · 9th Sep 2008, 05:42

I dont see how the engine couldnt be ported over to PC. If it was able to port to every major console, even the PS2 which is pushing its limits now-a-days, surely porting it to the PC would be easier. As even the game was developed on a PC.

*sigh* I wont be crossing my fingers for the PC.

Ahhh... made my night that did. The xbox/ps3 more powerful than a comp?
