The Force Unleashed for PC? Maybe JK4?

Well as you may know there's this game called SW: The Force Unleashed upcoming. It's console only for now, but there's a thread at LA forums. Maybe if we make enough noise they will decide to bring it to PC. :P Who knows maybe it'll be JK4, and not just a EPIII copy. :P

Not true. Although that's your personal opinion, I believe it's a general consensus that most people prefer JK2 and JK1 over JK3. Don't get me wrong, JK3 is a good game, but JK2 was just amazing. In fact, if Lucas Arts is going to release another game like JK3 in the Jedi Knight series, I'm not sure if I'd buy it, or play it much.

I just hope it's not gonna be a hack n' slash game. It'd be way awesome if they actually released it for the P.C., but it doesn't seem to be happening. Oh well, I'm pretty content with JK3. :D

Because if it's really fast then it'll be crap. Like I said, I'd rather wait for a good game, than get a poor one immediatly - that's how I can not want it really fast.

Theres a few problems I see with this new game, one, LucasArts isn't going to be giving us Dedicated server for Linux support, and probably no editing tools. Its going to be like their previous games they've released in the past two years or so. If it is on PC, it will probably be a console port, which will be a shame.

The only hope of a true Jedi Knight type game is if Raven does it again. Maybe that won't all be true, but thats my two cents based on the development history of LucasArts. Oh and if Raven did it, you can almost guarentee it would be on the Doom 3 engine. Which would be cool.

From the looks of it, they may release the game on PC, but it'll be totally different from anything in the JK series. Plus, with all of the new cutting edge technology LucasArts is boasting about, some people will find their comps unable to run the game. Pity, really. They're limiting themselves to the console market when the majority of their consumer base has consisted of PC gamers.

That's what people said when JK2 was dying and they came out with JK3... look where that got us. Lol.

I think the problem with people nowadays is they're not descriptive enough...

Amendment:

We seriously hope they will bring another JK series game out that is NOT rushed, NOT crap and will actually have decent mechanics that don't conflict with eachother.
Don't rush to get it done, if we know it's coming, we'll wait.

I'd much rather wait for a fantastic game, than have one released next month that leaves alot to be desired.

controlers are able to use this style of fighting - thats why the Gamecube and Xbox (i think) have both had JK games on, and i hope it DOES come out on pc, even though my computer would curl up and die if i tried to play it =p

Cool to see the thread being so popular, even though i really don't think that spamming LA's forums is going to change their minds. Good luck though :p

Personally, i find that to be extremly unlikely. The inflexibility of a gamepad just doesn't fit with the way sabering works in jka. Why would they want to release a console-exclusive game that's extremly inconvenient to play without a mouse and keyboard? Wouldn't it be more logical to assume that they'd make the gameplay to be more in tune with the simplicity provided by a gamepad, instead of creating an in-depth gameplay which'd be almost impossible to fully utilize?
