Star Wars Games On PC

Videogamer.com has an interview with Cameron Suey, a producer for the upcoming Star Wars Game The Force Unleashed. In the interview, they discuss why the PC version of the game will not be released. What about the future of Star Wars games on PC? Several games have not made it to PC, so are Star Wars games only going to be on consoles from here on out? Cameron says no. Here is a question and response that keeps the PC door open:

VideoGamer.com: Do you guys have any message to your PC-owning fans, because you guys have a heritage on PC?

CS: Absolutely. We started on the PC. Unfortunately that goes back to the point of such a variance of the platform. There wasn't such a variance at that time and it made a lot more sense to develop on PC. The message is that we're not shutting the door on PC at all. Just for this project it happens to be that we don't have a PC SKU. I really hope that everyone can experience this game on a platform eventually.

Be sure to read the entire article with producer Cameron Suey.

The Clone Wars Trading Cards

Topps will have The Clone Wars trading card set in stores July 26th 2008. Featured Artist and good friend Kevin Graham will be doing 250 of The Clone Wars Sketch Cards and some will be chosen for the set. Some will be his animation cells and the rest will be directly on the cards. Although it’s a cartoon, he will be drawing some characters a bit like they were used in the regular movies. I am sure these cards will be fantastic and I have provided an example card of his work. Be sure to pick up that Clone Wars set!

eFX Shakes Thing Up!

RebelScum has the latest information on eFX and how they will be different from Master Replicas. Here's what eFX has to say :

"As many of you know, we had originally announced that the pre-order day for our very first product, the Stormtrooper Helmet, was to be on May 5, 2008. However, since eFX is a brand new company, we are going to initiate many new groundbreaking ideas that some many even consider "sacrilege" since they will break some old "traditions". We have decided to scratch the whole pre-order process and establish a WORLDWIDE on-sale date when the product will be available the same day whether you are on Los Angeles, Tokyo or London! We will try to announce the availability date at least 30 days in advance. We think that our collectors will appreciate and like this new process."

  • Be able to see images of the actual product before you purchase
  • Allows you to better plan your finances since you will know exactly when your credit card will be charged
  • Eliminates the frustration of waiting an uncertain amount of time before you actually receive your product.

Other products that are on the horizon for eFX include:

  • Ralph McQuarrie Concept Darth Vader helmet
  • Episode 2 Clone Trooper helmet
  • Episode 4 Obi-Wan Kenobi Lightsaber
  • Red 5 X-Wing Fighter

This seems like a fair way to do things. Fans will just really need to be ready for what it is they want to get their hands on.
