Which video games have been trapped on a hardware platform (console/handheld/headset/etc.) that you wish would be ported well?

I was reading about Oculus accounts that haven't been assimilated into Meta accounts being erased, & it got me thinking about games trapped on hardware platforms again. What are some of the games you wish would have good ports across different hardware?

Every single Nintendo first-party title.

In the meantime, thanks Ryujinx and Yuzu.

I've never played it, but I am curious about it : I wonder why SEGA never ported Jet Set Radio Future on any other platform. It never left the original xBox.

It's a bit weird because SEGA is usually not against getting a few quick bucks from the old catalogue. The first Jet Set Radio, along with a couple other Dreamcast games, has a PC version, and it's at least playable, if not absolutely perfect.

Jet Set Radio Future not appearing on another platform or being rereleased does not have an officially known reason, but I 100% personally guarantee you its about music copyright. Either a license for a sound sample used in a song expired, or the license for a song expired. There is no other reason.

I would love to see the old PS2 third person platformers ported/remastered onto PC. Sly Cooper 1-3(Sly 4 I guess), Jak 1-3(And Jak X I guess), and all the Ratchet and Clank games. You can play them via RPCS3 and PCSX2, but that's not a substitute for a proper port imo.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Fuck, YES. These and the InFamous games, honestly.

Come the fuck on Sony, you're leaving money on the table!

Red Dead Redemption

They never made a PC port

I hear the switch version runs decently on yuzu

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I'm pretty sure the PS3 version runs well on RPCS3 with a very small amount of fiddling.

As far along as emulation has come, I'd like to see a proper Little Big Planet port with multi-player and local server support.

oh if only I could have my beloved Bloodborne on PC

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Gran Turismo. I really dont wanna deal with console obsolescence just to play a decent racing sim. Not like they need it to farm PSN subscriptions because people already pay more for iRacing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

A lot of DS games that rely on the touchscreen just can't be ported very well like Elite Beat Agents or Trauma Center.

The Infinity Blade series on the iPhone. You can't buy them anymore and I'm not sure you can download them even if you own them. They wouldn't work on a modern iPhone anyway because you need some old version of ios. You can't really emulate it them a useful way either. So the only way would be to get an old iphone/iPod touch, jailbreak it and sideload the .ipa if you can still find it somewhere.

Shame because I really enjoyed those games and anything remaining of the franchise has been absorbed into fortnite meaning there will never be another sequel.

Imagine taking the best game on the platform in its prime, locking it up, and making a fucking fortnite skin out of it. That is the sad tale of Infinity Blade.

The old Uncharted games. Every other year I forget that the "Legacy of Thieves Collection" is not a collection of legacy games.

You can't even emulate them without a proper PlayStation controller because they need the movement feature. And the Steam Deck's movement feature isn't supported by the emulators.

I'd also like to play Until Dawn but I guess that's finally coming.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I would like to play Bloodborne and Demon's Souls. But I really don't want to buy a PlayStation just for two games...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Some notable games still stuck on the PS2

  • Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 1/2
  • Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga
  • Valkyrie Profile 2
  • Onimusha 2/3
  • Atelier Iris 1/2/3
  • Shadow Hearts 1/2/3
  • Fatal Frame 1/2/3
  • Cold Fear
  • Echo Night Beyond
  • Haunting Ground
  • Ape Escape 3

And that was just me picking stuff with some noteriety

Xenoblade Chronicles X

I own it on the WiiU and yes I can use an emulator but a proper port which better integrates the content from the second screen into a one screen interface would be great.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago

Honestly, I feel like any manner of integrating the game pad screen is going to end up feeling like a downgrade, simply because of how information dense the map is compared to the minimap on the main screen. I've been emulating it, and playing it on a multi monitor setup has been absolutely amazing.
