I’m currently scraping the Steam barrel and I could really use these ports:
- Gravity Rush Remastered/Gravity Rush 2: best traversal in gaming. Surprisingly fun combat too. Just pure joy all around.
- Viewtiful Joe: integral Kamiya core and probably the closest on this list to actually happening seeing the Clover revival.
- God Hand: I have nothing new to add here. All I can do is reiterate the “beat’em goat” claim.
- The Red Star: PS2 hidden gem—mix of beat’em up and twin-stick shooter. Proper action game rooted in arcade design principles.
- 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:
- Catherine: Full Body: extra stages is cool, but I need the online Colosseum.
- 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.
threaded - newest
Bloodborne.
Nah, best they can do is Concord.
Jet Set Radio Future.
PC or console just give me something!
Nine a winner. Pay the front line, take the don’ts.
He’s comin’ out again with a good one. Place your bets now ladies and gentleman.
Have you played Bomb Rush Cyberfunk?
No not yet. It’s been on my wishlist since release :/
Go get it RIGHT NOW
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.
People need to stop fighting in favor of a PC gaming monopoly in the hands of Valve. Shopping at multiple stores is more inconvenient than just getting everything from Amazon or Walmart, it’s still bad for consumers to only have a single source for everything.
Most people don’t know any better and it’s sad.
But have you considered the other platforms that aren’t GOG suck.
I want things on a platform that is either utterly unobtrusive, or useful. Unfortunately, that means either steam or GOG.
“DAE le Epic sux, right guys?”
Sorry reality gets in the way of your corporate bootlicking 🤷🏻♂️
I mean… Who is bootlicking a corporation, the guy saying people need to use the alternatives or the ones saying they only want to use one or two options?
Epic is anti-linux, so it’s an immediate no from me, dawg.
Steam or GOG is the way to go for digital PC stores.
GOG doesn’t have a Linux launcher either so you’re already using a workaround, stop being a baby and just do the same for other launchers.
i didn’t say anything about a launcher.
"Fighting in favor of PC gaming monopoly"
Jesus Christ, the drama. If anything, I'm fighting for Debbie Downers like you to let me enjoy my favorite shit in peace.
I promise you when Capcom publishes Viewtiful Joe on Itch.io, I'll buy it there. Now please take your bullshit elsewhere.
Damn man, you brought some serious attitude here. Take a fucking walk.
.
Maybe Steam competitors need to be fucking better then? Jesus dude. Steam is popular for a reason.
Yeah, mostly because it was the first one on the market so people started building their library there and they’re too lazy to use multiple launchers and publishers would rather take the 30% hit instead of going with an option that takes a smaller cut for this reason.
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.
.
what other games besides halo 5?
Also why halo 5Complete the collection.
Fireteam Raven could be fun, too, but that’s a pipe dream
I see. Given the general reception of the 343 games, it’s a little surprising to see people ask for 5 in its entirety, though I will admit there were moments of fun to be had with H5f.
I’m not sure what fire team raven is, will need to look that one up.
Final Fantasy Tactics, ideally the War of the Lions version.
That one you could just emulate.
You can, though from personal experience it can be a bit finicky if you’re trying to emulate the better PSP version. There are some optional patches that can be applied to it to improve stability, but it still crashes on me a few times in PPSSPP.
A native PC release would have been nice to have. It’s one of the few FF games still not available on PC/Steam.
Alternatively, one could grab the Android version and try to run that on PC through the now-deprecated WSA, but the mobile port is touch input only with no controller support.
I have the android port already and have tried to get a reliable way to play it on PC and it’s just too much of a pain in the ass 😅
I’d prefer native.
Rumors abound for a remaster of this one, but I’m gonna start thinking it was a casualty of SQEX’s recent restructuring if it doesn’t surface this year.
Those rumours are a decade old at least. I don’t believe stuff like that anymore until its out, lol.
Crash Nitro Kart. Still stuck in exclusivity hell. Also salty Toys For Bob got canned for no good reasons.

That’s a pretty deep barrel. For comparison:

I was cursed with an extremely narrow taste in video games so there isn't a lot for me out there in general.
Yeah, 18k games, but a lot of that is going to be shovelware. Steam has a big issue with shovelware designed to look like a good deal. They’ll release like 25 games, one will be priced at like $100, with the rest priced at like 50¢.
Then they do a publisher bundle, which marks all of those 50¢ games down by like 90%, but doesn’t touch the pricey game. So on the surface, the bundle is marked as like $100 for 25 games, at 87% off. Looks like a great deal. When in reality it’s just 24 cheap games marked down, and one super expensive game. And all of them will be shovelware. But it’ll be enough to fool anyone who doesn’t bother to dig into the actual bundle details.
Infamous 1 and 2, I’d love a remake to be honest but I’ll take a simple port.
Puyo Puyo Chronicle, the last good installment in the series, don't @ me. I'd like Sega to make a proper new game, but they're clearly never ever ever ever gonna do that, so the next best thing they could do is port a good one. What I need most is a game that's on all major platforms with crossplay.
The PS2 exclusive War of the Monsters
How do you feel about Gigabash?
It’s fun but doesn’t quite scratch the itch. It’s a lot more arcade-y and simpler than War of the Monsters. Way smaller maps and less environmental interaction
Crush, puzzle/platformer only released on PSP and 3ds. It had decent reviews but I guess it didn’t make enough money to get any ports. One of my favorites from the PSP along with Joan d’Arc and persona 3.
Viewtiful Joe is a good one.
I think I have an inordinate amount of nostalgia for Metal Arms: Glitch in the System and 007: Agent Under Fire. Both are locked to consoles. The campaign and multiplayer of Metal Arms are all-timers, and while the campaign is fairly basic for Agent Under Fire, the multiplayer, especially with all of the modifiers turned on, is some of my favorite FPS multiplayer ever.
I’d also like a PC version of Soul Calibur II with rollback, please, Bandai-Namco. I don’t care if the series stops there; this is really all I want or need from this franchise. Especially if you can just reskin Link and put his functionality in the game alongside Heihachi and Spawn.
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.
Same with me, never played the second one
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.
Same for me on infamous. Come on Sony.
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.
Any sports “video game”. I’m sick of the “simulations”. I miss games like Blitz the League and The Bigs
Soldier of Fortune: Payback. Obviously the best game ever made.
Freelancer. No need for any remastered nonsense, just patched to work on modern systems.
AvP2, same deal.
Id actually like to try the mess of a SimCity game EA put out in 2013, for some reason it’s still not on steam.
Are you me?
Freelancer was my jam when it came out and my buds and I used to have massive LAN parties playing AVP, back in the day.
So yall don’t just play anything on your steam deck? I have viewtiful Joe on my ps2 emulator And the entire gba library on an sd card
Mercenaries / 2
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
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).
