by Alice O'Connor, Oct 19, 2010 7:40am PDT

LucasArts has unveiled the PC system requirements for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2, so you can see if your PC has enough force to engage the lightsaber-swinging sequel and, in the immortal words of Jedi Admiral Adama, make it so.

The Force Unleashed 2 is due out on October 26, also hitting Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii. The PSP version was cancelled earlier this year.

Hard disk space: 10GB + 1GB Swapfile
Operating system: Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista SP2, or Windows 7
Sound: 100% DirectX 9.0c compatible Audio Device
DirectX: DirectX 9.0c (March 2009)

Recommended specs

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz or AMD Athlon X2 6000+
Video: 256 MB Video Memory with Shader 3.0 support - ATI Radeon HD 4800 / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260

Not making the mistake of buying this game on PC again. The console port was just sad, barely playable and crappy controls. Now the benefits of my 360 are shining.

Games developers are doing an amazing job with optimizations, mostly through improved texture and shading techniques, I gather. I've had a Quadcore processor and a GTX 260 for about two years and it still plays most everything without breaking a sweat. After seeing screenshots, I thought DiRT2 was going to be the one that finally broke my computer, and even that I play at the highest settings with 4xAA.

So when is the next generation of games going to come? We've kind of stalled out with consoles, too -- are they even planning a new XBox or Playstation?

1 gb swapfile is not required (pagefile or virtual memory)

heck disabling it will make your PC way more faster in performance and responsivness

I have 6 GB and i don't have pagefile , heck I had 4 GB and without it too , win7 x64 , you just need to know how , the assholes on the web are noobs claiming you can't go without pagefile. what bs is that.

speaking of pagefiles , linux has a much better implementation of virtual memory (swapfile) than windows

What it all really means...

Minimum: "Technically it will display stuff on screen, but it will be ugly and jerky."
Recommended: "You can like what you see or how it plays, but not both."
The PC Experience: "Flip all switches, raise all levels, full speed ahead!!!"

Since they didn't list those specs, I'll do it for them.

I remember they saying the physics engine requiring a super computer, when they decided to not release it, and then release the first game long time after the release on consoles.
And now they post this requirements. Someones lying.

Looks about the same as the first game's.

I doubt it'll run well on anything with less than four cores, though.
