videogame industry crashing so they're porting over easy shit from the 360 for some quick cash.

>>13698556

Publishers saw the profit on steam. It would be a waste to not release it for them. Its cheap and it will continue to bring profit later on sales and stuff, maybe occasionally get more popular,

>>13698556

Who knows, probably a way to make a quick buck. but more games for me. so fuck it.

I am the most glad for Nioh port btw.

My guesses would be :

>It's low effort, low risk

>It can fill the gaps between projects, gotta pay the guys for something

>By banking on nostalgia, however small, you can put your company back on the map

Or it's done by third party studios and is basically making profit off a dead IP, night dive studios is what comes to mind mainly.

People are cottoning onto the fact that there's a market on PC for old shit that never got a port. Now they're playing the "what have we got?" game.

I don't see anything wrong with this at all, Voodoo Vince would have died on the XBOX otherwise.

>>13698626

>Banking on Nostalgia

>Night Dive

Yeah this does tend to work I was hype as all hell when Turok 1 and 2 got remastered.

>>13698626

>>13698726

I just wish they finished Exhumed, but they're probably still working on Turok 3 remastered to finish up the trilogy.

Same small team, they're slow, but its quality work

What you boys want to see? The Ninja Gaiden games would be cool. Never got around to playing those.

>>13698597

WHEN THE FUCK DID THIS HAPPEN

IM PIRATING THE SHIT OUT OF THIS RIGHT NOW

>>13698726

I think I saw Nightdive's Turok rerelease had some new features added, is this true?

>>13698795

METAL WOLF CHAOS, DEVOLVER PROMISED IT

>>13698827

First game was a fairly straight port, cleaned up and 60fps. You have an option to toggle the N64 fog, which is nice.

Turok 2 adds the option to grab ledges, and has optional objective markers, some new maps for multiplayer.

I think both games revamped the saving system to something more typical of PC games, but not sure about that.

>>13698827

Yeah, shittons of options and Turok 2 adds content from the N64 version.

It really good, it not running like shit was good enough, but they really went full out with these source ports.

>>13698616

>yfw the recent Platinum PC ports sold more than Wolfenstein or Lawbreakers.

Publishers are probably realizing that tons of people game on the PC and don't want to keep up with the various consoles.

DOAX3 on the PC, when?

>>13699383

This is the Remaster Gen after all.

People are buying more remasters than actual new IPs nowadays.

>>13699395

Venus Vacation

>>13699383

>>13699409

Part of the reason being because new games are mostly fucking shit.

>>13698892

Did they promise it? Last I remember they just said they had contacted From Software about it and then all news about it went silent from there.

>>13698804

It's coming out next Tuesday.

>>13699383

And despite the piracy bogyman, it'll keep making money as the years passes. Specially if the game is a decent or desired title to be on PC and the port isnt a total trash.

>>13699437

Niceee

>Sphinx and the cursed mummy

I've seen this game being mentioned now and then here, any good?

>>13699477

You better buy Disaster Report 4 if you want to see anything more from this series.

Oh yeah, you forgot Okami OP

The 306-page "Estimating Displacement Rates of Copyrighted Content in the EU" report (PDF) points out a number of caveats for this headline number, not least of which is a 45-percent error margin that makes the results less than statistically significant (i.e. indistinguishable from noise)

So you will cling to anything for self validation, how miserable

>>13699594

>literally missing the paragraph just bellow that

>"This positive effect of illegal downloads and streams on the sales of games may be explained by the industry being successful in converting illegal users to paying users," the study authors write. Increased game sales may come from piracy as "players [get] hooked and then [pay] to play the game with extra bonuses or at extra levels," they continue. When it comes to games, "only free games are more likely displaced by online copyright infringements than not,"—that is, people who pirate games seem to use them as replacements for other free gaming options more than for games they would otherwise buy.

>>13699594

>So you will cling to anything for self validation, how miserable

Ironic considering you pretend you can't even read to do precisely that.

>>13699594

>>13699707

>>13699512

I didn't include Okami because it's a relatively well known game, it's not that big of a surprise that Capcom got around to giving it a PC port. The ones I put in the OP are basically games that had, (I would think) Zero demand for a PC port yet they get one anyway for some reason.

There would be decent demand for say God Hand or Viewtiful Joe on PC. But Voodoo Vince? until that PC port was announced I hadn't thought about that game in years.

>>13699803

It's pretty bizarre we are getting a PC port of Okami and Zone of the Enders 2. These two really came out of nowhere and there doesn't seem to be any particular reason for them to be ported.

>>13699803

But OP, Okami is a 2006 game which got an HD release in 2012 for the PS3 and nobody was expecting more as both the OG and the rerelease didn't sell that well.

Zone of the Enders 2 HD also came out of nowhere.

>>13699823

ZoE2 is being butchered with forced VR to boot.

>>13699864

> forced VR

source?

>>13699823

>>13699863

Okay, yeah that's true. I'm just more surprised by the relatively forgotten games getting PC ports then the games that people still talk about to this day.

>>13699864

I'm pretty sure the VR is completely optional at least.

>>13699864

VR is optional

>>13698556

>sphinx

Hope they fix the game breaking bug 3/4 of the way in.

>>13699893

Fair enough

The games you posted are indeed forgotten.

Just like something like TY the Tasmanian Tiger

>>13699913

>Game breaking bug

Care to elaborate, anon? I'm unaware of it.

>>13698583

remakes and remasters are proving to be the best way to secure a profit. ff12 remaster just hit 1 million.

>>13699936

Oh yeah, I remember hearing about that.

I just want a pc port of the Resident Evil Outbreak games, why can't Capcom do something right for once?

>>13699753

>A superhot mode in the game and apparently a shitton of other shit like it

Now that's pretty damn neat.

>>13700122

>Someone else desires PC Outbreak ports

I have finally found you, my nigga.

Speaking of Xbox games, I want PGR on PC as well, though I know car licensing would make it impossible.

>>13700509

They could just change the cars a little and make some totally-not-X names.

>>13700520

PGR and later on Forza became known for having licenses to things like Porsche and Ferrari, the kind of exotic cars that weren't in Gran Turismo at the time. The car manufacturers were part of the experience.

>>13698795

Dragon's Crown.

>>13700386

>Nioh

Nigger the fuck are you talking about? Nioh is being released in a week on PC.

>>13699324

I ve been wondering why do you guys think Mankind divided flopped if it sold more than NieR Automata?

>>13700728

Are you retarded?

>>13700772

>AIDF immediately shows up shrieking

Publishers realizing that PC games make a lot more money in the long run because they don't become obsolete every time a new console comes out.

>>13700772

>he does it for Taro

>>13700804

Ill give you a hint, games have different budgets.

>>13700728

Because both have extremely different budgets and target audiences. Mankind divided has to sell a lot more to turn a profit than Nier Automata does.

>>13700852

is there a place to check said budgets?

You said every game should be on PC, There you have it.

>>13700867

If you do some digging they're probably out there.

But you don't even need to see the actual numbers to know MD had an extremely bigger budget. Just look at how much more advertising it got.

>>13700883

Seriously, a game not having a PC port is either due to severe incompetence or greed in all cases. Anyone who doesn't want to make a PC port can go fuck themselves, the game is probably shit anyway with almost no exceptions.

>>13700654

Thats the point retard

I had tiny hope for them and Liru and they came true, yet Metal Wolf Chaos seems very unlikely, especially since From has been owned by Kadokawa since 2014

>>13698556

THQ Nordic is sitting on a bunch of old IPs that they are trying to revive and port to fund their new shit. Not sure what is going on with some of the others.

>>13698795

The Otogi series. Never going to happen, but I can dream.

>>13700933

I just want something good done with the Novalogic IPs they own.

>>13700947

So do I

>>13700947

Let's be frank, Automata had a cute waifu with the most glorious ass humanity has ever devised, Mankind Divided has a filthy, ugly negress and faggots. Western developers are so fucking incompetent they couldn't even keep the cute brown tomboy pilot around.

>>13700845

No get fucked.

see

>>13694484

>>13700963

>Western developers are so fucking incompetent they couldn't even keep the cute brown tomboy pilot around.

>brown

there is your problem, she is not dark enough for the progressives

>>13699753

>>13700376

At first that looked awesome, but after watching I realized they missed the point of SuperHot. Time is only supposed to move faster when you move or perform an action. This just looks like a general slowmo toggle, he can freely move around while things are slow.

>>13701048

No, time goes by normally in Superhot when you're moving, it's just that the action is very lethal. It's a pretty accurate recreation of the gameplay, the only problem is that the weapons are not one hitters so it messes up the execution.

>>13701048

it's not that the cheat does make things like super hot. The bow just glitches things out. If you watch it again you can see how the bow messes with things when i'm holding arrow back.

>>13698556

At some point they're going to have to do a good port of Skies of Arcadia Legends, right?

… right?

remember the star vortex?

Where's an actually fucking good and MGSV-tier control quality port of MGS1-4? That would sell like hot cakes.

>>13700947

>squeenix drops a good IP because a forcibly-released-unfinished game with microtransactions and light socjus shit forced by squeenix in it didn't do as well as a 6 year old game has done after 6 years of sales

>he thinks this has anything to do with the game and not squeenix forcing an unfinished game out the door with shit that was supposed to be part of the game thrown off as DLC

>There was a time when PC ports were worse than their console originals.

>>13703466

>Trusting Konami

>At all

Honestly the limited controls of MGS are half the reason they were decent anyway, MGS would be an absolute laughing stock difficulty wise if you could just aim and shoot like you can in MGS V.

But seriously.

>>13699324

>low price

>games run perfectly on release only Vanquish had a few FPS bugs

>actually spent time to make a good port

If only other companies new how to port games like SEGA

>>13698556

Porting a game essentially means releasing a new product to sell at virtually zero cost. With incompetence being the norm in the videogaming industry, publishers with huge backlogs of games that they haven't bothered porting are only just now realising that.

>>13701048

I thought the point of SuperHot was for a bunch of soulless suits to cash in on the marketing utility of forcing a meme, but that's just me.

>>13703893

Bayo QTE mashes are still fucked because they are tired to frame rate but QTE mashes suck anyway

>>13709262

Having only played Razor's edge and not Vanilla NG3 I thought it was serviceable, Not as good as the NG 1 or 2 but aside from the dumb story it wasn't awful.

it's cool how you can fight bosses form NG1 and 2 in the game.

>>13709272

I Hot keyed Punch, Kick, and Shoot all to down on the D pad with rapid fire, So when any QTE besides the stick spinning ones pop up I just need to hold it down.

It's the only time Steams Big Picture mode has ever been useful to me.

>>13698583

Most of these are XBOX/PS2 games, youngfag.

>>13703893

>Relatively minor performance issues

>Comparing it to a game that was rewritten entirely from scratch to be a garbage port

Not even close

>>13703926

So it's only good because it has shitty controls? Sounds like Goldeneye.

>>13709476

Tank controls are what makes Resident Evil good

No joke

Play Remake with no tank controls

Its a fucking joke

Mastering tank controls and dancing around zombies feels satisfying as fuck.

>>13709492

>Tank controls are what makes Resident Evil good

Well yes and no, you can make a Resident Evil that isn't too shit without them (see REvelations) but the essence of survival horror still is limiting your view and control on the situation even if that means hampering playability a bit

So you can't really make the best RE without fixed camera and tank control unless you find another trick to limit both of those that doesn't involve shitty FoV, gimped TPS controls and darkness everywhere.

>>13709272

>Bayo QTE mashes are still fucked

I played every port and I get pretty much the same result in every port, bayo gives you the number of registered presses (with a handful of exceptions) in the combo bar so it's easy to check

>>13709254

>KT ports

I want and at the same time do not want. I'm puzzled.

>>13709620

>REvelations

Has nothing on the original games.

>>13709620

>your view and control on the situation even if that means hampering playability a bit

No, fuck that. The player should struggle against the enemies and environment and have to mange his resources, not wrestle with the controls and camera.

>>13712617

Theres shitty controls and then there is differently handled ones.

Tank controls aren't exactly shitty, just different, and they certainly fit the situation in all of the 3 first RE games, it requires mastery and with it it actually makes you fuck up less than streamlined controls.

No excuse for shitty camera though, unless its done to good effect like Eternal Darkness.

>>13712617

I haven't seen an horror game that had extremely responsive controls and none of the modern "horror game" shit that I would still consider survival horror now that I think about it, FF2 kinda fits the bill with FPS mode

I personally would much rather deal with slightly gimped controls and on rails camera similar to SH even in an otherwise mediocre game over whatever the fuck the genre has become

>>13698583

I feel like this thread should have been over since this post.

>>13712695

Comes in the same shitty engine as GTA4, so likely same shit as RDR which is "not happening because our engine is too shit and we don't even know how it runs at all on console"

>>13712820

Already out and its shit

Should have released it in 2012 like they planned to.

Changed and downgraded so much it became absolute garbage.

>>13700461

This is why exclusives are a mistake.

>>13712820

Every single one of original devs are fled the company and the KUF Online suffering worse development hell than Duke Nukem Forever. There was dozens of inner company dramas that I can't even count. It's better to consider it will never happen or if it happen it will be shit period. Chinese bought the company years ago.

>>13698795

>What you boys want to see?

Burnout 3: Takedown, Burnout Revenge and Burnout Dominator.

I know they can be emulated on PCSX2 but I really wanted to see native hd remasters based on the superior OG Xbox versions (360 version in Revenge's case)

I know it's probably never going to happen for a multitude of reasons, mostly licensing issues because of the soundtracks, though they could just release them with new random soundtracks from shitty indie rock bands no one heard of, but with support for custom soundtracks so pleople with white IQs could just download and use the original soundtracks from the internet.

Burnout 1 and 2 seem more plausible though and would be pretty cool too.

>>13715514

They just want you to forget about them so you can buy the new shiny piece of shit they barfed out.

>>13712887

>It's safe sales for little investment

frankly this is the reason i wonder why everything isn't ported to PC these days. shit, companies are getting away with selling pirate cracks of their games (GOG) and are making money for it, it'd be piss easy to just resell that and there you go. even nintendo's doing it (the NES/SNES minis use the same ROM format that was originally developed by pirates)

>>13715603

Why isn't Namco releasing fucking Tekken and Ace Combat classics on PC is beyond me.

I remember that on GC. Good times.

>>13709254

KT ports are broken as fuck, I don't know why they bother.

>>13715658

Better than playing on a DRM box.

>>13715658

Well If they aren't retarded they will put more care into Nioh's port and then we'll see what comes next.

>>13715711

I said it before and I'll say it again, aside from kikery KT is getting better. The musou stars port was perfectly fine, so I see no reason Nioh, a much more valued propery, would get a shit port.

>>13715664

No, no it isn't. Last port i heard about was so fucked up, that a Gsync monitor forces the game to 60 FPS, causing it to run at more than 2x speed.

>>13715605

>>13698804

>>13699650

This is why I hate pc gaymers with a burning hatred. Little thieves. I have a PC game too, and I pirate every game that comes out on PC, because the devs dumb enough to make PC ports deserve piracy, even if the games are good.

> because the devs dumb enough to make PC ports deserve piracy, even if the games are good.

So back in the Xbox360 and Ps3 era, did you also pirate those console's games? You know, because every developer that release their game on a console deserves to pirate.

BTW how is the pirate scene on latest gen console? I never keep up. Are the mod chips made yet? I assumed not.
