I’m currently scraping the Steam barrel and I could really use these ports:

  1. Gravity Rush Remastered/Gravity Rush 2: best traversal in gaming. Surprisingly fun combat too. Just pure joy all around.
  2. Viewtiful Joe: integral Kamiya core and probably the closest on this list to actually happening seeing the Clover revival.
  3. God Hand: I have nothing new to add here. All I can do is reiterate the “beat’em goat” claim.
  4. The Red Star: PS2 hidden gem—mix of beat’em up and twin-stick shooter. Proper action game rooted in arcade design principles.
  5. Ketsui: again, all I can do is reiterate the “shmup goat” claim. Criminal this is not on Steam. Come on, M2.

Alternate editions of games we already have on Steam:

  1. Catherine: Full Body: extra stages is cool, but I need the online Colosseum.
  2. Ninja Gaiden II: ugh, this one is obviously never happening at this point. I swear, even if they try a third time, they’ll most likely find some way to mess it up.

Definitely never happening: Pikmin. Nintendo suck.

    Going old-school for this one, but I remembered absolutely loving the RPG Story Mode in Point Blank on the PSX.

    I would sell a kidney (not necessarily mine), if it helped produce a PC/Steam remake with mouse compatibility (seeing as Light Gun games have basically gone the way of the dodo).

    Skies of Arcadia!! So much of the Dreamcast library is on Steam it’s crazy to me they skipped out on this one. Yes I know I can just emulate it but I’d love to see it on Steam haha

    Tales of Xillia 1 and 2 as well, as far as I know they’ve yet to be released from the PS3 prison. I do have some semblance of hope for these ones though seeing as Bandai Namco are pretty good about remasters/rereleases

    Any sports “video game”. I’m sick of the “simulations”. I miss games like Blitz the League and The Bigs

    I don’t currently need any games ported to Steam. Why do you? What’s so special about Steam? Or is this just shorthand (longhand) for “on PC”?

      Just convenience, really.

      You could just let me be and reply with your “I need these games ported to PC” list if you have one. No reason to turn everything into an argument.

        He asked a legit question. You didn’t say “PC”, you said steam specifically. Why does the launcher matter?

        I don’t recall trying to turn anything into an argument. I just wanted to know why Steam. Don’t get me wrong, Steam is good but I don’t have any particular allegiance to it. I agree that it’s frustrating that Catherine Full Body is console locked but Catherine isn’t.

    • Anything and everything by Vanillaware, but especially Muramasa: The Demon Blade
    • Rock Band 4 (I know Harmonix did a crowdfunding campaign for a PC port; I bought into it and I’m butthurt it failed)
    • Time Crisis (any and all of them, but 1-3 first)

    Gravity Rush is such a banger I just downloaded the second one on my PS4. I beat the first one on my Vita a while back but I don’t really remember how it ends so I might replay that before I start the second one.

    Crash Nitro Kart. Still stuck in exclusivity hell. Also salty Toys For Bob got canned for no good reasons.

    I’ve been going fucking wild with emulators lately.

    I have Dolphin, Xenia, OpenGOAL, PCSX2 and RPCS3. I have Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Heroes, Sonic '06, all the Ratchet & Clank PS2 games, the Sly Cooper trilogy and Sly 4, all the Jak games, the first two InFamous games, the Tak trilogy, and even more.

    I was wanting Sony (or someone) to port at least Sly and Jak to PC, so I got tired of waiting and just got emulators. Old games are super fun.

        With InFamous, RPCS3 works damn near flawlessly (some games need some tweaking individually to smooth out some kinks, but it’s easy to do).

        I ran into some issues late-game in the first one where if you attacked a certain enemy with your basic shock attack, it would totally freeze and crash the game, so you need to switch it to the ASMJIT recompiler. Which, if you do that, the game will run almost perfectly aside from minor audio and graphical bugs.

        The second one has some framerate issues, but it’s entirely playable. I’m on the last mission of my good playthrough now.
