Games that'd do better on other systems

[SomeBritishDude]

Every console at the moment seems to fit a certain type of gaming and gamer, meaning that certain games sell better or work better on some systems than others. What game do you think would do better on other systems.

The first thing that pops to mind for me is Viva Pinata. It would sell so much better on the wii. Though the graphics would have to sacrificed but the player base for the Wii suits it much better than the 360 does. How many blood thirsty teenagers do you know who like Pinatas?

Tales of Vesperia, it should be on PS3.
Only 'cause I don't have a 360 and I contain a fetish for JRPGS.

any wii shooter should have been made on the xbox/ps3/pc

 

[Dr Spaceman]

I bet if they really fleshed out the cell and creature stages in Spore that Maxis could make a fantastic game for the Wii. They already kind of did this for the DS, and Spore seems to really fit into the idea of the Wii.

 

[Space Spoons]

Chalk, an independent game I came across for the PC, seems like it was made for the DS. Anyone who's played it will tell you the same, I'm sure.

Halo was a disgrace on the PC.
It was atrocious and we're talking about the gaming platform whom MADE the FPS genre what it is.

Halo should have been launched on the PCs and using the PC hardware to its fullest.
Halo 1 was terrible and Halo 2 was even worse with it's "Windows Vista exclusivity".

Why the fuck they're making console-exclusive FPS-games is just way byond me.

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

Disgea 3 needs to be on a handheld. I think there is a PSP version but man, seeing it on the PS3 makes you feel weird.

 

[Spartan Bannana]

Any adventure game ever made on 360 should move to PS3 while inversely every shooter made on PS3 should be converted to 360: The PS3 is good for adventure games while not being suited for shooters, (note that adventure includes stealth games like MGS), while the 360's gamepad is made for shooters but doesn't work well for adventure games.

Oh, and every Strategy game ever attempted on console should be moved to PC

I agree with what you said, especially the last line.

Fan boyism aside, he does have a point.
Both PC ports of Halo are dire. Halo 2, which was nearly four years old when it appeared was particularly shocking, there's nothing in that game that would trouble a pc capable of running Half Life 2 on high, yet it has to be exclusive to Vista. Not to mention the wave upon wave of bugs in it.

Halo as a series is very ill suited to the PC, the expectation of PC shooters are too different for it(read high).


Anyway. I think Metroid Prime 1 and 2 should have been on the PS2 rather than Cube. The only real reason being that they were such brilliant games that they deserved a wider audience than they got.

 

[Typecast]

Agree with that

I think Sega should pack in the 3D adventure sonic crap and just make decent Sonic sidescrolling platformers for the DS.

I lawled and I agreed.

Too Human should have been done on the Wii... I'm not joking.
Better controls would be possible, Move baldur with the Control Stick, Melee by swinging the wiimote, b to lock on for the melee attack, and directional pad controls the camera.

 

[Bob_F_It]

Agree with that

They showed it could be done when they had the Dreamcast, but somehow they lost the V-tech down the toilet. Prince of Persia shows that 3D and platformers can work, and that's even more linear than Sonic!

On another note, all FPSs on the N64 need migrating. Sure they were fun, but fuck they were hard to control.

You mean like Civ: Revolution and a couple Atari 2600 games, and nothing else? (note that I'm not including every other console strategy game as they were all originally made for the PC)

TBH I found everything you said pretty wrong and/or irrelevant.

And just to be on topic (as I don't really want to sound like a fanboy); I think every PS3 game would do better on the 360. Broader market you know.

Yes, lets make it so that people who like more than one genre of game have to shell out even MORE money to be able to play the games they like!

Wonderful idea!

As for your strategy game comment, you've obviously never heard of TBS, which works brilliantly on consoles. That and the majority of RTS games on consoles are ports of PC games, so of course they'd suck, what with being designed with mouse+keyboard in mind. If an RTS was made FOR a console, it might actually NOT suck.

 

[Morrcane]

METAL GEAR SOLID 4 should be on 360 WOOOOOO go fan boy

 

[CAB0SE]

And just to be on topic (as I don't really want to sound like a fanboy); I think every PS3 game would do better on the 360. Broader market you know.

Well, you kind of come off as a fanboy with a statement like that. Why not 360 games on the PS3? And besides, there are some games that are coming that can't be done on the 360 (LBP and MAG to name 2)

There aren't too many games I can think of that haven't been mentioned or wouldn't do better because of a wider market.

EDIT: The last statement was meant in reference to the thread topic.

I have an idea:

Microsoft wanted the Xbox to make money, so they released Halo.

Microsoft wanted the Xbox to make more money, so they released Halo 2.

Microsoft wanted the Xbox 360 to make even more money, so they released Halo 3.

I think Sega should pack in the 3D adventure sonic crap and just make decent Sonic sidescrolling platformers for the DS.

...Or just make a good 2D Sonic for the current-gen consoles à la Rayman or Kirby 64 and devote the rest of their resources to actual continuing their other IPs - Panzer Dragoon, Shenmue, Jet Set Radio, Nights Into Dreams (a good sequel, please), Shining Force etc. Because as it stands their marketing posture is cynical and insipid - basically "we're going to blackmail the public by not making non-Sonic games until we become a top three developer, but all our Sonic games suck"
