What console game do you wish you could play on PC?

Post by yogibbear »

Simple. Nominate the console game that you wish you could play on PC, or would be the first game you would play if you received a PS3/360/Wii free.

Only rules:
a) No older console games
EDIT: But you can whinge and mention what older console game you wish was available (that isn't available via emulators), but it won't be officially counted by yours truly unless it is very very awesome
b) No handhelds
c) Must be a Wii/PS3/360 game that is not or will not be released on PC (e.g. because the PC version of AC2 is announced you can't nominate that)

GO!

I'll start:

Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition. Easily. The existing PC version doesn't count - I would want the Wii aiming mechanics, controlled with the mouse, and the Gamecube graphics with high resolution support.

On a similar note, I'd also want a PC version of the Wii version of Metroid Prime Trilogy, with the same stipulations.

The Darkness - I loved both Riddick games and would love to play Starbreeze's other game on PC.

Killzone 2 - I played it on PS3 and thought the graphics were muddy and the analog control poorly done, but in high-res with mouse control I could see it being an amazing game. Call me a PC fanboy but I feel a lot of games are "ruined" in this fashion (being only on a platform not best for their genre).

Gears of War 2 - Unlike I guess every other PC gamer out there I loved the original game, I thought it looked good and played good and had a great port. Shame we will probably never get the second one (or third one).

Red Dead Redemption - The recent videos of this have completely blown me away and no PC release has been announced. I freaking NEED this game.

Oh, what a tease you are.

But I would like to play the Final Fantasy games on the PC. Triplehead possibilities, maybe?

Which FF's were you thinking of? I don't think anything pre-12 would be possible to play on TH without a serious redesign. Serious as in every single area of the game re-drawn.

VII, VIII, and IX would be fine in battles and the world map. The other areas not so much.

X on up would be fine. They are full "3D." Even the static areas are a 3D environment.

Not sure the real value of TH for Final Fantasy games anyway. XII maybe with the trail camera.

Despite the bare bones PC port it is still the best version of the game.

Destroy All Humans ! (?)
Sorry, no idea how old this is or if it's even good. I don't really care, I love the title and just wanna destroy'em all with my keyboard and mouse.

Condemned 2
#1 was a very decent (although resource-hungry) PC game, and the ending(s) left me puzzled.

I am surprised I forgot this one and wanted it as well. A PC version was rumored forever and yet never released. I hate when part of a series is on PC but the rest is not, Battlefield Bad Company being another recent example (in the opposite direction).

That said I heard Condemned 2 was a large dissapointment.

Improved Halo 1,2,3 (or the halo series).
Professional... well I'll figure that out.

12 and up would be the most realistic. But since I'm dreaming....
