Is it? How about copyright?

Since when copytights and emulation are related?

copyright can be violated without using an emulator program
an emulator can be used without violation copyright
you need to do you homework, all I needed to play TFU on my PC is my legal copy of TFU fpr PS2, which I inserted in my PC dvd drive and a bios copy I dumped from my PS2, which is perfectly legal.

Did I say they were?

Yes you did. By linking them with link word "and":

Isn't it against the rules to talk about emulation and piracy?

Instead of being a troll, why don't you rejoice we can play TFU on PC at 100%

[SW01]

This is the sort of announcement that makes me glad I didn't bother with the DLC...

Since PC is almost always superior for games, and this thing is going to have a bonus level as well as the DLC, I might just consider trading in my PS3 game for it!

LA seems to be on a bit of a roll - two (half) decent announcements in a row? (Old games on Steam)

Instead of you being a troll, why don't you read what I've posted before? Everybody knows that TFU will be on the PC.

Post #11 in case you didn't noticed it. Besides, the TFU forum here, already stated that.

[Rinku]

This is why I bought the game used for wii :P

Now I can buy this for my new mac. I am really surprised it is coming out for mac, seeing as there seems to be this thing with LA about not porting any star wars games I like to mac.

[frendon]

I personally think this is a slap to the face for everyone that bought the game the day it was released. You are telling me that the only way to get the HOTH level is to buy the whole game again? That's insane. They should release a patch to make the regular edition into the Sith Edition, giving us the chance to pay for the content offered exclusively on the Sith Edition as DLC. I liked the original game but waited patiently for a patch to fix some of the issues with the game and it never came. Now, they are telling me a loyal fan, that the version I have is basically obsolete, and that I have to buy a new version. Personally if this is the case, I won't buy any games from LucasArts anymore, or I will wait until they release a second edition of each game before purchasing them.

[JesusIsGonnaOwnSatan]

Modding is what I'm looking forward to the most with this. The possibilities of adding Malak, Revan, Nihilus, Darth Krayt to the game...

QFT

i sense the possibility of redemption for LA...

come on, LA, you can do it!

[acdcfanbill]

Everyone needs to relax a bit

Unleashed mod discussion is fine, but this isn't the place for discussion of The Force Unleashed videogame that is coming to PC.

[Trench]

Imagine if we were able to add new Force Powers to the game! We could make Nihilus, and give him the ability to devour his enemies.

[WraithPrince]

I'm pretty sre LA ain't doing th eport so they could just port it and say here you go, without adding any bonus material such as modding capabilities or a *sigh* multiplayer duel mode or something which should have been added as a dlc by now.

[Demongo]

I forgot to post in this thread
I was thinking to buy some sort of console only because of this game(I know I'm crazy) but YAY I can now play it on my PC!

That would be SWEET.

What if they allow us to alter animations? We could take the Jar'Kai/Shien animations from Maris Brood and apply them to Starkiller. Imagine playing the game with two sabers!

[Miltiades]

I'm glad I didn't buy a console when this game was still in development. While late, I'm glad I'm going to be able to play it on my PC.

awesome!

*High-fives Mird*

what if they allowed us to create new animations? that would be ultra awesome!

but somehow, i doubt that there will be that much mod-ability.

from a dev point of view, modding should be a logical thing to allow.
it would make sense to release modding tools a little while after the release of the game, then everyone would play the game again. and again. and again. look at kotor, tsl, and ja. its been like, 6 years and people stay play it in the thousands. why? because of all the great and amazing mods out for it.

imo its a formula that works and hopefully the corporate bigwigs should see that itll make them more money as well.

Imagine the possibilities with new animations! We could add Grievous to TFU!

The thing is if people are just gonna want to play it again so they can mod it im pretty sure people aren't goning to even buy it if they just want to mod the it, look at JKA only maybe like 30% of the community has bought the game and the only thing making the community stay alive is the mods.

[LordSerion]

Adding new Force powers would be sweet indeed!

Grievous, oh yeah! And the Emperor, too, with a few new skills...

But seriously, how "deeply" d'you think we'll be able to mod it? Because new Force Powers and adding new animations to new possible lightsaber styles is gonna require a rather deep knowledge of the engine, correct?

Oh Grievous to TFU! I can imagine that ownage Maybe we could add some Force Powers to Grievous, give him 4 sabers. No one will survive

That's what have been told many posts ago...

personally, i wouldnt go for a greivous with force powers. maybe for lolz, but otherwise, no. (im a canon freak )

[Darth InSidious]

Apparently the game varied a fair amount between versions, so hopefully we get a good version, and the game is actually optimised for PC, rather than halfbaked-optimised, a la the first Fable (ever tried solely spellcasting? No? There you are, then.); personally I can stand a cheesy/silly plot provided the game is fun, and this is the first real-time lightsaber game since... BF2? But more seriously, since Jedi Academy.

My guess is it'll be pretty modder-unfriendly. As in shark's-maw unfriendly.

[Astrotoy7]

very interesting news. We PC gamers havent saber wielded on a pc in an action game context since JA.

I am a bit apprehensive given all the swiping people have given the console versions, but that wont dissuade me from checking it out myself. As long as they get the controls right - thats the main issue for me with console ports/redos. I actually found this news out the day I finsihed building my corei7 + GTX 295 gaming rig, so I in the strange position of being confident my PC will run it - hopefully at >HD rez

Now, if someone can convince LA to get back into space/flight sims... that would REALLY be great news

Yeah, I hope they rewrite parts of it to resemble the novel more closely, such as the fights with Kazdan Paratus and PROXY, as well as an extended conversation between Galen and his father, Kento, concluding with his discovering his first name, and then having Bail announce at the end of his game that his sources have discovered his full name: Galen Marek.

And yes, the modding potential is about ninety percent of the reason why I am looking forward to this port. If that isn't included, then there goes my incentive to buy it. I already have it for Xbox, and I can always simply download the added content.

Also, what was all that stuff on the last page about having to buy the game anew in order to get all of the content? Will not the downloadable content be as complete?

You must really like reskins.

[Zerimar Nyliram]

Yeah, if that's all that's going to be possible then forget it. Like Mr. Jesus, I am a canon junkie. As such, I've never been much of a fan of reskins because it doesn't make any sense from a story perspective to play looking like Mace Windu or Darth Sion. Cool skins, but it just doesn't make sense. Galen is not a Mace or Sion look-alike.

New costumes, on the other hand, are a different story. I quite like things like that, both official releases and fan-created. But if that's as far as the modding capabilities will go, it's not worth it.

[Zwier Zak]

It's a port so I doubt we will get anything to mod it with.

[alphagrim]

Meh.I finished TFU both on Wii and 360 and i was really disappointed with both the game and the gimmicky story.So my expectations on the PC version(the lack of whom i bitched aboutendlessly) are really low.

Same here. But aside from all it's (BIG) flaws we will get some desent gameplay time (I hope) with all the bonus levels and the new addon.

[WraithPrince]

Well the Jedi temple was only like 20 minutes or so so maybe we'd only be gettting another hour if we did darkside so about...

6+.30+1+6(lightside run)+.30= 14ish hours of gameplay not counting the other playthroughs trying to get holocrons since could take 1 playthrough to 20 depending on who you are.

Wow!! 20 min only?? I didn't know that!! I was thinking more like 1 h... ;/

[WraithPrince]

Well i was doing it on easiest mode so could be maybe almost a hour on sith master or w/e.

Some things that could make the PC game good is if they include a multiplayer option & mods.

true but considering how much attention LA payed to fans the last 5 years i doubt they will spend money on developing actual new modes for the PC version

[Ztalker]

*calls computer guy to order that d*mn video card already*

Want.

I recall saying in the TFU 2 thread that the dev's should go infinities...I should've made bets on it.

[Zwier Zak]

I'd like to see a website update and an video comentary for this releace. Lucasarts should make people feel like their geting a real good effort, not just a sleeze port.

[M@RS]

I personally am excited about this. Granted, I know it's not the best game. But I have a record of greatly enjoying mediocre games.

[Zerimar Nyliram]

What I want to know is if all of the additional levels will be placed into the main story and take take place where they are supposed to (for example, the Jedi Temple level takes place after the Kashyyyk level). I doubt it, but it'd be nice.

[ZimmMaster]

It's about time they made one for pc.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. About damn time alright, I guess they got tired of all the b****ing.
