Star Wars Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition- PC version gameplay & mini review (1280 x 720)

UPDATE: A patch has been released that is supposed to fix some of the technical problems, although I have not been able to test it.

I'll just get straight to the point and tell you this is unfortunately not a good port. There are no advanced graphical options to speak of, you pick your resolution from the game launcher and that's it. The game is capped at 30 frames per second, which is what the console versions run at, regardless of how good your computer is. The game manages to run pretty steadily at 30 frames, but it does stutter from time to time. The graphics themselves look about the same as the Xbox 360 version, which I have played, except that this has no antialiasing setting, while the Xbox 360 version I believe uses 2x AA, which is at least something. So there's jaggies everywhere. The strange thing about this, is this game comes to a massive 24.6gb installed, which I see no reason for considering the graphics have not been overhauled whatsoever from the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of the game.

Okay, moving on from the graphics, the game controls fairly well with the mouse and keyboard, I'm still getting used to them in this video, but they are pretty easy to use. I've posted a listing of the default controls in the video discription for those of you who are curious. The game also fully supports use of the Xbox 360 controller if you have one.

So yeah, overall a pretty disappointing job from Aspyr on this. I would strongly recommend getting either the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 version if you can. The game does not run or look better on the PC, and takes up quite a large chunk of hard drive space, making it inferior in just about every way to the consoles. If you have a high end PC and do not own a console, it is a pretty fun game itself and you should enjoy it, but don't expect to be blown away by the PC version.

Thank you for watching.

Are you allowed to edit the game?

Is there multiplayer? Is it online capable?

Thanks.

[Skyburnbright]

I did some looking around and found no tweaks to unlock the framerate. And I dont think there's much mod support, if any.

No, no multiplayer of any kind. sorry.

[DominationHollow]

How the heck am I supposed to pick force combo or talent points with keyboard. It's just stuck on force power no matter what I press. Thanks for someone for help in advance :)

Why is that most PC games companies don't support notebooks? Why else would there be a dedicated gaming graphics card in notebooks if not to play games?

I bought this game and nowhere on the box does it say "This game does not support mobile chipsets", yet a reply from Aspyr tech support says exactly that.

Its bullshit like this that pushes players towards the consoles.

@XSC3 Star wars galaxies suck after SOE destroyed it. I was hooked on it before they "fixed it".

KOTOR3 would be welcome.

@NorwegicusOnAstick Then again, there is that SW MMO, the Old Republic...
