Console exclusives that would have been great on PC

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

Final Fantasy IX. The rest of the PSX Final Fantasies made it to the PC, why didn't IX? With how Square keeps releasing games on the PC, I'd LOVE to see them port IX over finally.

Because the rest of the PS 1 games were on the PC when they were on the PS 1. Not to say I don't want FF9 done as well but I'm assuming that is the main reason why 7 and 8 are on Steam after being redone slightly and 9 isn't. Must be easier to do a port when you already have a port to work with but maybe one day we can have FF9.

Rhetorical question, dude.

I'm supposed to know that why? I wasn't aware I had mind reading abilities/the ability to divine full intent out of a typed comment.

Forza Motorsport.

But that would mean Microsoft couldn't hold gamers by the ankles and carve the game into DLC Swiss cheese. Actually it probably still would do the latter, but at least I wouldn't need new systems, a Live sub and my credit card handy just to get content I once enjoyed in previous titles. Actually I probably would still need the latter.

Maybe I'll just take better racing sims for the PC; a studio that can actually afford the talent and pay the blood money to license everything.

Context. The question "which console games should be on the PC" was asked, and I said "why not FF9?" I think most people would have read that as the response it was, and not seen it as a need for a history lesson.

It was so obvious I didn't spot it. Also I'd hardly call 1 sentence a history lesson. What do I know I don't English much goodly.

 

[ClockworkAngel]

Dragon's Dogma, Demon's Souls, and Red Dead Redemption, just to name the three that come to mind off the top of my head. But if I had my way, every game would release for the PC as well as consoles.

Really now you're making this thread? Good disguise I suppose, here I'll save some time for the incoming people. "All of them because I hate that exclusivity is directly harmful to the games' potential playerbase and benefits literally no one but the companies involved wanting to make a cheap buck at the expense of the entire medium."

Fixed that for you.

You are forgiven. Rereading your original post, I took it to have a more aggressive tone than it really did. I apologize for that.

Ah yes the big bad companies making money. All that investment is ever so evil.

When it's directly at the expense of its consumers and the broader art form? Um, yeah. Unambiguously evil. As one of those consumers yourself, I'm not sure why you would ever desire to take any of that lying down.

Investment just magically happens, if the companies didn't exist all the same games would exist. Bayonetta 2 would have had the ever so gracious EA swoop in to pay for its development... wait they are "evil" too so... whose a darling right now... ah yes CD Projekt lets go with them as they'd have done it no doubt.
Those in house studios... well we'd likely be with out them and their wonderful games... but we'd instead have disposable cheap indie tat to console us I suppose. Those brought and supported... well money grows on trees.

I'd rather have the games in existence I enjoy than take a gamble on this "free" scenario you wish to present thank you very much.
Expense of the consumer? Who? You? Certainly doesn't effect me.
As for damaging the art form... I'm one of the biggest supporters of that (the art form, not damaging it) and they aren't damaging it in any significant way. You want to make a game you can (indie), you want to make a game that has all the cool kid graphics you can (the "holding back" argument)... nothing is stopping you except feasibility of course.

It's all good. I wasn't particularly nice in my other replies.

 

[baconmaster]

For current games I'd have to say Sunset Overdrive and Bloodborne. Just because I don't have a PS4 or Xbone and don't plan on buying either for a while.

MGS3 and 4 would be nice too. Just to complete the series on it. Everything else got MGS3 eventually so why not put it on PC?

 

[dibdab]

Would love Fable 2 on PC played 3 and 1 so much. To bad missed out on the one that most consider the best. It really made no sense to me why 2 wasn't released for PC but the others were.

Also I'd like to try Sunset Overdrive as I always loved the weapons and game play of Ratchet and Clank, but i'll never get a Xbone(or a PS4) so it'll never happen.

fucking halo wars its great RTS game with a lot of potential so of course its on the 360.........WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

em yeah also halo would be good on PC even if I do prefer my fps games with a controller.(don't judge me I have issues....)

I imagine Halo Wars was designed specifically for the 360. If it were to have been made on the PC I imagine the interface and controls would be much different.

 

[Phlap]

I think Halo is a bit of a no-brainer. It's a pretty unique arena shooter that doesn't really have a PC equivalent.

 

[GundamSentinel]

All of them. For the last few years I've been primarily a console gamer, but I wouldn't want to deny any good games to people who play on a different platform. Fun for everyone, how would anyone not want that?

In particular?
- Demon's Souls
- Shadow of the Colossus
- Okami
- Final Fantasy XII (piss off, I want it!)
- Dragon's Dogma
- Metal Gear Solid 3 and 4
- Red Dead Redemption

yeah better. the 360 controls arnt that good and leave you wanting a mouse and keyboard

 

[A_Parked_Car]

I would kill for all the Halos to come to the PC. I hate console FPS, the analog sticks are just so clunky.

 

[Roxas1359]

- Final Fantasy XII (piss off, I want it!)

At this point I just want my damn HD remaster already of this game. Although with how Square Enix is nowadays, they'd probably release it on consoles and PC. Now all we do is sit and hope for the day in which they announce it.

 

[JohnnyDelRay]

Here's my votes!

Playstation:
Yakuza series

XBOX:
