WOLFjr Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I don't know if this topic belongs here. If not, I'm sure an admin would be kind enough to move to where it belongs. Recently, I saw a youtube video of the Achievement Hunter guys playing a very awesome pc game called Trouble in Terrorist Town. From what I see, it's definitely a fun game and I would love to play it. But of course, it's a pc only game. I think it would be a great game to have on the 360 and PS3 (even though I don't own a PS3). I'm curious if there are any pc games you guys want to see be made into a console game. They did it for Minecraft, American McGee's Alice, Half Life and FEAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The topic is fine in The Arcade; it's meant for video game related discussion. - On the topic of PC games for consoles I don't really have a say; my PC is doing quite fine though I plan for a GPU upgrade in the future.

Yeah, but the problem is that some of us either don't have a computer (which would be a huge surprise considering nearly everyone has a computer), or we do but it's a low end one that isn't really meant for playing online video games. I'm currently the latter one. I will be upgrading to a newer, more high end pc fairly soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Yeah, Trouble in Terrorist Town is great fun. It's a mod for Garry's Mod. As for PC games I want on consoles? Nothing really lol. However, there are plenty of games on consoles that I want on PC. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh! PC cases! Here's mine :3 For PC games on the consoles while I was still a console gamer, I'd like Cobalt, Garry's Mod, Microsoft Flight, and Poker Night at the Inventory. Console games I want on PC: Dust: An Elysian tail, Perfect Dark HD, and Halo Reach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Ooh! PC cases! Here's mine :3 That's awesome!; the blue LED fan really gives the interior a look of its own. That makes me thing I should throw up a "Post your PC photos here" thread, or something of the sort. Yeah, but the problem is that some of us either don't have a computer (which would be a huge surprise considering nearly everyone has a computer), or we do but it's a low end one that isn't really meant for playing online video games. I'm currently the latter one. I will be upgrading to a newer, more high end pc fairly soon. Don't worry; I know precisely what it's like to have a computer that is incapable of doing anything well in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vy'drach Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Both of the PC only Aliens vs. Predator games, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series (though I could no longer modify the game files to give me Herculean strength so I can carry every gun I find ever), and Unreal Tournament 2004.

DZComposer Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Yeah, but the problem is that some of us either don't have a computer (which would be a huge surprise considering nearly everyone has a computer), or we do but it's a low end one that isn't really meant for playing online video games. I'm currently the latter one. I will be upgrading to a newer, more high end pc fairly soon. Here is why this argument is dumb. Let's go through this and replace PC/Computer with other platforms: Yeah, but the problem is that some of us don't have a Wii. Yeah, but the problem is that some of us don't have an Xbox 360. Yeah, but the problem is that some of us don't have a PS3. Yeah, but the problem is that some of us don't have a 3DS. Yeah, but the problem is that some of us don't have a Vita. Platforms need exclusives to remain competitive, and the PC is no different. Also, porting a PC game to consoles is more difficult than going the other way. PC games may have complex control schemes that would need to be redesigned for consoles with their limited control inputs. Because of this, a console version could end up gimped.

This is also why RTS games don't work on consoles without being pretty barebones and basically be "baby's first RTS" like Halo Wars and Tom Clancy's Endwar or be lacking in some features like RUSE (PC has no unit cap, opposed to a console's 200 global unit cap, splut between players. And limited to 4 players, opposed to I think 6.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Elite Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I would kill for Kotors 1 and 2 on the Playstation 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clearwater Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I'd love to see the classic racer Trackmania on the PS at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
