Has anyone played the Ultimate Sith Edition for The Force Unleashed? It's $39.82 and if I get it I'll probably trade in the original game at GameStop.

I don't have any of the DLC, so I'm wondering if it's worth buying.

Don't buy it new.

It's available for PC now.

I'd have bought it if my system was up to it. But alas.

Also, I heard it's a bad (quick) port. It only allows resolution changes. (And not even in-game) You can't configure anything else.

Seriously, It's a terrible port.

You also can't change graphic settings (except through your control panel). Only thing you can do change is your resolution.

Also, the game is capped at 30fps for some reason. Which is noticeable and annoying to alot of people.

The port is done by Aspyr, which does a bad job at porting.

If I end up getting it it's for the Xbox 360.

Damn... a friend of mine has a PC with even better than recommended system specs, and it runs like crap, even on lowest (800x600) resolution. And he's got a higher-end graphics card.

Someone sorta figured out how to make a simple mod for the game.

I'm curious if modders are going to try to fix this bug-ridden game because it seems Aspyr doesn't give a crap about ironing out the game's issues.

they probably use a 33 ms timestep and didn't bother with interpolation because the consoles can't render the game faster than 30fps anyway.

fixing it would not be trivial.

Why not buy it new? The original game plus additional content for less than the original game was released for new. I can see that statement if you already own the original release, though.

I had forgot the release date and saw one in a Gamestop yesterday. Went back and glanced through my email for the week and see that Amazon shipped it Monday so maybe I will get it today. Looking forward to it since I haven't played anything other than the demo yet, and that was over a year ago.

I have an edge card so I get 10% extra when I trade in the original.

I get more if I trade it in for a new product so I could just trade in TFU for Modern Warfare 2 and then buy the Sith Edition. <_< >_>

It might cost me more for all of the DLC than buying the new version.

Trade one crappy port for another crappy port.
Awesome.

It's only out for a couple of days. Maybe Aspyr will make a patch.

That made me laugh.
Now I'm sad.

What? I have The Force Unleashed for the Xbox 360, and I'm getting Modern Warfare 2 for the Xbox 360. If I trade in TFU, I'll get the Xbox 360 version of The Force Unleashed: Sith Edition. They're not ports.

I don't understand your logic.

Seeing that TFU was designed with Xbox360/PS3 in mind, I don't see how it would be a port.

I think Tibby is a numpty and thought you were on about the PC versions.

Tibby needs his medication. Maybe the government took it away.

He was talking about the PC versions, Anakin9012.

Edit: someone already said it. XD

I can't see why anyone would buy a PC version of a game unless the console version is the port or they simply don't own the console.

I guess I should take that back. I did buy a bunch of Disney Pixar games for the PC for my kid because they were cheap. Funny because I picked up an Xbox 360 wireless controller receiver so they play just like the console versions.

I hope my copy arrives today but I just started Mass Effect so I should be happy either way.

I don't have a console, so yeah, I'll probably be buying the crappy port.

Alot of people were looking toward the PC port because of modding capabilities, with all of TFU's physics and such.

I can understand people hoping for that but in this day and age I would assume that unless a game's primary platform is PC with a strong emphasis on multiplayer the options for modding are going to be slim to none.

I remember hoping that when Shadows of the Empire was released for the PC some of the content might be able to be extracted for use in Jedi Knight although that would be against the EULA...

Anyone remember The Infernal Machine?
Yeah...

this. game. is. epically. sh*t

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

Oh, give us examples.
I love hearing about terrible games even more then great ones.

It was fun.

Patch 1.1 is up on Aspyrs website.

What about it? That game was great, apart from the occasional "you don't have a 3d card so I won't run HURR" bits (I think it has something to do with driver versions, or maybe it was a bug in nvidia's drivers they fixed). But if it actually launches, it works fine, at least under XP.

[quote=Patch Changelog]This patch is an official update for North American Retail version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. THIS PATCH IS FOR THE NORTH AMERICAN RETAIL VERSION OF THE GAME.

Sounds like it might help with the performance issues people have been having. Nothing about the framerate cap though.

Were you even born when it came out?

It was a game for Indy fans. The story had a good premise but was not fleshed out. It had great puzzles and fantastic visuals for the time.

Am I missing something or did they just **** up the character skins?

I wonder if they fixed the horrid controls on the Star Destroyer level..Or even tried looking into it.
