Greetings!

"Finally, a new Star Wars game promised to shed light on this all-important era. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed tells the story of Vader's secret apprentice who's in the process of hunting down the remaining Jedi that survived the Great Jedi Purge of "Revenge of the Sith.""

For the non-PC-gamers:
Five cool things to do in the Star Wars: Force Unleashed demo

The demo for Star Wars: the Force Unleashed it out right now on the 360, and the PS3 players out there should have it this evening. I'm not going to try to convince you to go download it, you're probably already excited about the release. Having just spent a few hours playing it, let me point you towards some fun things to see and do.

Scoop - The Force Unleashed Is Coming To PC

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.”

Shot down:
Edit - direct from LucasArts - “I can tell you definitively that there is no PC version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed planned. I would assume Vik was talking about a PC version of Digital Molecular Matter.”

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.

Force Unleashed Dev: Not feasible on PC, pushing PS3 and 360 to the limits :-

Quote:
He said: "Wow. OK that's interesting. Obviously the reason I'm doing this and the reason I think any of us is doing this is because we love games and we want to make games for people who love games. So any time someone's not happy with something, I won't say it's difficult because you have to deal with it, but we would totally prefer everybody to be as happy as possible, you know we want to make everybody as happy as possible.

"In this case, it just really wasn't feasible. As much as I really understand everybody's concerns and I really understand that people want to play the game on their platform of choice, the truth of it is, the way this game is designed, based around these physics, that are simulation based and very procedural, it would take a very powerful PC to pull them off. This is definitely stretching the Xbox and the PS3 really to the farthest they can go.

"And yet high-end PCs definitely would be able to do it. Traditionally the way you get a game on multiple PCs is you have to scale the graphics down, right? Unfortunately physics, especially procedural physics, it's impossible to scale it and if you did scale it or turn it off or turn it down it would fundamentally change the way the gameplay works. It would just be too limited for us. It was a difficult decision to make but you can't scale the physics."
