Why is their so much stuff coming on my Birthday. Can it be the day after when i get all my money and so then i can have some time to play.
This looks like a petty cool game.

[f789790]

Too many games to buy. This one can be finished in a week.

[360rxorz]

Nice, hopefully the PS3 doesn't drag the 360 version down too much.

[THE TERMINATOR]

PS3 is the LEAD platform for this game.
So its confirmed superior.

[360rxorz]

Which is why the 360 version will be dragged down. Now the 360 version has to conform to the severe limitations of the PS3 and can't take full advantage of the 360.

[HighDefinition]

Yeah....

Like.....

-Uncharted
-MGS4
-KZ2
-LBP

Get a CLUE, young one.

Seriously people who make comments like this are under 18 and sad about the console they told their parent to buy them.

This is from a PR guy from LucasArts and you can also read what the project lead said at an article that's available on gamespot.

"At the Game Developer's Conference this year, Haden Blackman, the Project Lead for The Force Unleashed, said that The Force Unleashed was developed first on Xbox 360 because when it was started we didn't have any PS3 development hardware.

However, that ended up making things much more difficult overall, because, Haden explained, creating games for the PS3 is a bit harder, mainly because it's new and has a different architecture from PCs and the Xbox 360.

The team overcame the challenge and The Force Unleashed is the exact same game on both platforms.

Moving forward, though, the lesson Haden said he learned was that he needs to take the PS3 into consideration at the beginning, precisely because it's the more difficult platform, so the hard part is done early.

This was not a LucasArts-wide discussion. It was Haden talking personally about lessons he learned during development of The Force Unleashed.

It was also not a discussion about which platform is better or worse. We love both platforms, and think that The Force Unleashed is awesome on both.

Please do not read into this and draw us into the Xbox 360 vs. PlayStation 3 battle."

EDIT: and from the GameSpot article:
"Our next project will use the PS3 as the baseline, and then apply that to the Xbox 360,"

jesus christ

when the 360 is lead the PS3 suffers

seriously your a fúcking moron the only better thing about 360 is a slightly better graphics chip

hardware wise PS3 owns 360 and you know it, both specs and reliablity

So with the PS3 been lead

your version is going to be just as good as ours, which is better than if it was done on 360

say thank you you ungratefull piece of shít

[Kal1138]

You can disagree with me all you want. I posted direct quotes (with links) from LucasArts people, including the project lead.

[bosels11]

360asseater, your an idiot!

[Snukadaman]

Well looking at madden 09 and that washed out look...it seems the ps3 lead development strikes back again...that washed out look is just terrible but madden is fun so I will have to bear with it unlike burnout paradise that I have not touched since.

[THE TERMINATOR]

Why didnt they develop it on 360 then?
Be ready for the COMPRESSED version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AIi_The_Brit]

exactly

Star Wars Force Unleashed
Mirrors Edge
Skate 2
Dead Space

All ps3 lead titles so will be so much better! and honestly i couldnt care less if 360 version is worse, GOOD! :P

[The_Firestarter]

August 21st here I come. :)

[Nitrowolf2]

next week sweet

[PoSTedUP]

360rxors thinks hes getting on peoples nerves lol what a lame attempt lol really i feel sorry for you

but yea BATTLE FRONT2 was one of the best star wars games ever! besides the two for the N64 shadows of the empire and the one where its flying only thoes games were sickly entertaining and no i am not a HUGE fan of starwars but i do like it.

[silvacrest]

i thought this was coming out on august 19th not September.....
at least the demo is coming soon

also a day one purchase for me

[MvmntInGrn]

This game has had a lot of good and bad written about it. On the tech side what they are doing (Mixing Havok, Euphoria, and DMM)is great but I keep hearing about framerate issues and whatnot.

The fact they are releasing a demo shows they are confident in it so my guess is they have fixed their issues, also I bet they have it running identically (as far a resolution and Stable FPS) on both platforms.

I'm really excited about this game so here's hoping it turns out well.

[PureGamer]

Day one if the demo doesnt dissapoint.

[heroman711]

yay!

[BSigel81]

At first, I thought there was not going to be a demo from the way things was looking. But, boy was I wrong, like MvmntInGrn stated LucasArts must really be impressed with what they have to release a demo. It is a day one purchase, cause first of all you have Star Wars(Great Story), Natural Motion(GTA IV Physics), and what looks like really good gameplay over all the other Star Wars games. Now I have to find out a way to finish paying off SOCOM:Confrontation, Get Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, LBP, and this game all around the same time. This time of the year has me so stoked for games, that I know I will be in debt. More than likely I will have to sell my house and car lol....wait

[CaptainHowdy]

demos!

[CAPT IRISH]

i like this game

[Mao]

I must try this out. Star Wars games usually never live up to the hype, but this one might.

[SovereignSnaKe]

FINALLY!!...totally gonna be glued to the TV allllllllllllll NIGHT!

[Are_The_MaDNess]

Gonna stay up ALL night to get that demo PS: will it be on the EU PSN to or just the US one?

[user9422077]

Awsome, will be downloading day one when it comes out on PSN.

[Lord Vader]

Sweet !

[Mutley416]

Excellent!!!! Things are going as I have forseen!!!

[dkgshiz]

You act as if the 360 is a powerhouse. HAHA, your such a douche. My super powerful 360!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ROCCOZILLA]

[KBDuB]

Eek! Can't wait. Hopefully it turns out good. I've been looking forward to this game for some time now.
