Apparently the port was done by a company called Aspyr: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspyr

Going down the list of stuff they ported, nothing seems terrible as far as I know...
Nope wait, they ported TFU, which was apparently even worse on the PC. Fuck those losers.

There's also this one but I haven't played either version so I can't say about the differences.

Shows how "deep" "meaningful" the story and companions are. The unbelievable level of "immersion" "storytelling" when you are sitting on a train surrounded by smelly fat men, playing KOTOR. Better yet, hopefully people will play it while driving a car.
dunno lah

Aspyr's port of The Force Unleashed was terrible.
So basically, to speed loading times, console games use extra disc space available (especially on PS3, with the high-capacity Blu-rays) to fill in redundant data. This is done because the seek times are fairly low on their disc drives, and by having the same data all over the disc, the disc needs to spin a lot less to get what it needs.
Except, for the PC version, instead of basing the port off of the Xbox 360 version, they basically just made a copy of the PS3's data archive, without removing any of the redundancies. So the PC version of the game is like 30 GB, even though strictly speaking it should only be about 7-10 GB or so.
They also used the full HD, uncompressed Blu-ray versions of all the cinematics on the PC version, which means there are literally about 8 GB of cutscenes in the game files when it easily could have been 1/3rd that size.
Yes, that means the game (an 8-hour-at-best, 100% linear beat-em-up) literally takes 3x the hard drive space it should, for no fucking reason, except for that the developers were idiots. I'm not making this up.
Their patching method was also "genius". To do this SWTFU writes the whole game into the Windows Temp folder when patching it. So if you have smaller system partition, than you have to go to User Variables in Windows and change the folder.
You show up in most unexpected of threads, Sceptic-kun
(It's just that I haven't seen you post in a while. Or maybe I've been looking at the wrong threads.)
