In an interview with Videogamer, Lucasarts producer Cameron Suey blamed the variance of computer hardware for the lack of a PC release of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
"Someone with a $4,000 high-end system would definitely be able to play the Euphoria [the game engine], the DMM and really technical elements of the game. But someone with a low-end PC would have a watered down experience," Suey said when asked why The Force Unleashed would not see a PC release.
Suey went on to assure PC gamers that ignoring the platform that shot Lucasarts development into stardom is not a company mandate. "We're not shutting the door on PC at all. Just for this project it happens to be that we don't have a PC SKU. I really hope that everyone can experience this game on a platform eventually." Unfortunately PC is not included as Suey straightforwardly answered "No," when asked if the anticipated title will ever hit make it to PC fans platform of choice.


You can build a $1000 PC with more graphics/processing power than a PS3 or 360...Lucasarts is full of shit. Also, does this mean that without Euphoria, DS and Wii gamers are getting a "watered down" experience?Posted at 11:47PM on May 12th 2008 by Mike
