After a quote from Pixelux Entertainment (developer of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed) COO Vik Sohal that seemed to indicate that a PC version of Force Unleashed was on the way, Lucas Arts quickly tightened up the communication ranks and denied the rumor unequivocably. [more info] Unleashed 360/PS3 Producer, Cameron Suey, explained the decision saying, "someone with a $4,000 high-end system would definitely be able to play the Euphoria, the DMM and really technical elements of the game. But someone with a low-end PC would have a watered down experience, they would have to turn all the settings down and it wouldn't be the same game". [more info]

Okay okay okay so my anti-Lucas bias tainted the comic. But the truth is stranger than even my ridiculous "Lucas is a Hack" ravings.

The developers of the game are using the fact that all computers are not the same as a reason to not port the game to the PC. What kind of pitiful excuse is that? They're releasing versions of the game on the 360, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP, and the PS2. [more info] They're telling us that the gameplay across those platforms are going to be close enough so that they don't fall into the same category?

I call banthashit. No offense.

Please Note:
George Lucas really had nothing to do with this decision. I'm just targeting him because I think he's a hack and he's easily recognizable.

Lol.. I was just reading about this... wanting a pc version myself.. and then I went here to see if a new comic was up.. and it was about the pc version

The graphics on the wii can easily be matched on a pc btw (no ephoria and DMM), so why can't there be a pc port?

Ok I was with them on the Low End PC thing until you listed all the consoles it will be on.

How many gaming PCs can't outperform...a PS2?

Yeish.


And, what's with George's neck? I just strikes me as really odd. Like his neck is channeling Jar Jar Binks or Hammerhead (who's name escapes me).

And there's me thinking that PC we're pretty much more powerful than all the consoles on the market - Even a half decent PC these days are pretty good at handling games without spending $4000 (£2000) a PC of half that price could handle a lot of the games on the market reasonably.

Edit: YuriPup "Hammerheads" are Ithorians.

Yah, a $500 build now can easily top the graphical power of any of the consoles. Including clearnace, open box, and a few good sales I recently built a quad core with a 4850 for $450.

It definitely performs better at 1080p then my 360 or my PS3. For $800 you can build a system that flat out stomps the capabilities of any of those consoles.

That is horse **** saying a PC can't give the same "power" as a console. The PS2 is the equivalent of a free PC given to you by a junk yard.

Georgie Boy has gotten strange in his old age. I'm all for turning crochety, (I'm in the process of doing that myself) but to leave out an entire margin of profit for such a bunk reason? He's the scary-old-man-with-a-house-full-of-cats of the gaming industry.

(Btw, I will never think of BS the same way after today LOL)

Yuripup, I draw 'em like I see 'em. And Lucas has an extreme case of turkey neck.

I think its funny how right you get some of your drawings.. [image]

On the threads note, I personally think its becaurse of piracy and not pc capabilities...

ROTFL

Okay, one of my few posts, I'm a lurker not a poster.

When I saw George's neck I thought you were trying to make him look like Jabba the Hutt, but now that someone posted his picture I see you were just going for reality!

Great comic Woody!
