The PS3, Xbox 360 and PC (HD) versions run on the Ronin engine to power HD graphics.

Probably the biggest difference is the one you’ll first observe: the visual presentation. What you’re missing out on from the HD versions Likewise, it’s unlikely we’ll never get a definitive version that includes all content. That content has never made it off the PSP and probably never will. For example, the PSP version contains five ‘historical’ levels that allow players to reenact major duels from Episodes I-VI.

Each version is missing content available on other platforms. We should note, there’s no ‘definitive’ version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Though the Switch could likely handle the PS3/Xbox 360 code, developer Aspyr has opted to remaster the Wii version with all its advantages and disadvantages. While they all told the same general story, the Krome Studios developed Wii, PS2 and PSP versions were very different games from the in-house developed PS3, Xbox 360 and PC versions. Given the wide breadth of available power between the different platforms, The Force Unleashed was not the same across all platforms. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed launched on PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, PSP and DS on Septem(a PC release would follow a year later). Despite this, there’s numerous redeeming qualities about The Force Unleashed, something players can rediscover when the game arrives remastered on Switch, but with major caveats. It didn’t quite work out with the original game garnering mixed reviews and a rushed sequel vastly underperforming. That’s how we ended up with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed from LucasArts, a major new initiative that was meant to usher in a new era of Star Wars. That meant greater control of the IP, but also less Star Wars games. While LucasArts worked with third-party developers and publishers to give the PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube era the likes of the Jedi Knight, Knights of the Old Republic and Battlefront series, the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii era saw the majority of development move in-house. The seventh-generation of consoles was a weird era for Star Wars games.
