Console games missing on PC

Rockstar recently announced a PC version of hit detective thriller LA Noire. These days most big games hit the two most powerful consoles and the PC, but a few titles are still notable in their absence on the industry's oldest platform. Here VideoGamer.com takes a look at the console games it wants on the PC.

Metal gear HD collection, along with almost the entire PS2 catalog is available on the PC via emulation lol.

Personally played God of war 1 and 2 on PC in HD with a DS3 all running in 1080p 60fps.

PC has the largest selection of games of any platform.

GoldenGamer4674d ago

Could you tell me where I can emulate MGS and God of War?

Ranshak4674d ago (Edited 4674d ago )

Well i have personally emulated God of war, which ran great. I think MGS is compatible too, about 95% games released on PS2 are compatible and can run in 1080p.

Granted its not as good as the HD remakes the PS3 gets, however one has to question how many remakes the PS3 will be getting and will those same remakes work on the PS4. The PC emulation is like a permanent copy :)

You can use PCSX2 to emulate ps2 games.

edit: just checked the compatibility MGS is playable.

Lol wonder why people are disagreeing with the initial comment.

Red Dead Redemption with the ICEnhancer Mod will be pure gaming heaven.

Also Forza 4 will be able to use its Autovista car models while actually racing & not just for showing off.

@ranshak

most of us ps3 gamers dont really care about bc. sure we may jump around like school girls at the announcment of a hd remake, but not having bc doesnt really bother us. how else could we justify buying the remakes?

Spitfire_Riggz4674d ago (Edited 4674d ago )

Powerofcell

Man, dude. Dont speak for a whole community. I bet more than half of PS3 users wish at least once they had an 80 gig to play PS2 games with.

I just think being backwards compatible is a big deal

How are you gonna emulate Peace walker? :)

Read the article it's talking about about console games missing on PC not console games that are on PC

_LarZen_4674d ago

Red Dead Redemtion on a high end pc...that would be insane. I would play it all over again just to experience that.

BlackKnight4674d ago

How the hell are you getting disagrees. Wow. Fanboyism is NUTS!

_LarZen_4673d ago

NG4 is famous for its fanboys, nothing new here.

But its realy to bad that people (not necessary myself), get disagree's and minus bubbles for writing something intelligent.

Fanboys or children wil change when they one time grow up. But NG4 wil always be...the home of the fanboys.

BlackKnight4673d ago

Not sure if I can agree with fanboys growing out of it. There are adults that are fanboys of apple/ms, amd/nvidia, republican/democrat, dodge/chevy.

People rarely seem to face the facts of the product they buy to make them feel like they are "smart" for buying the "right" product.

Triggs4673d ago (Edited 4673d ago )

I cant't resist - may I add Canon/Nikon? :-)

Apollyn4674d ago

To be fair most games that don't go to PC are not overly great anyway

Substance1014674d ago

I would agree, i personally only game on PC. Aside the few great exclusives like Uncharted and RDR i personally dont hold much interest in most of the console exclusives.

Hifist14674d ago

What about PC games missing on console? :D

reynod4674d ago (Edited 4674d ago )

Many multiplats once modded on PC offer a different experience on the PC then console. They almost turn out to be different games.

This year alone there have been great PC releases like:

Shogun 2
Dawn of war 2 retribution
witcher 2

upcoming games:

red orchestra 2
Battle field 3 (its there on console but its not really not the same at all, i would call it a PC exclusive).

thats just off the top of my head.

MidnytRain4674d ago

@reynod

More players and better visuals do not make it a different game.

No matter what you choose you always miss out on something.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming17d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long17d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming17d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10117d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor17d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6917d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming17d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno17d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming17d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast32d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg31d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

I still think this release was a big waste of time. I would have been a day 1 purchaser if they had redone the game w RDR2 graphics. I still own my PS3 copy, so don't see the point in picking this up if it's minimally improved.

CobraKai47d ago

I bought the game cheaper than the remaster on 360. There’s no reason in releasing the game at that price with so little improvements if any.

Profchaos47d ago

It's nice to have it as a handheld game I guess if you travel a lot but yes the ps5 release was a joke

kaos8947d ago

It plays at 60 fps on PS5 and a higher res if you value that.

OtterX47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

Yea, PS3 graphics at 60fps and 4k doesn't warrant the price. It was severely disappointing considering they already created so many of the assets north of the San Luis River (New Austin) in RDR2 and could have reused a lot of things, or reworked things bc they are the same area at different times in a fairly close history. It's friggin' Rockstar - you know they have the money and resources to have done it.

jznrpg31d ago

I like that I can play the game on current generation console but it would have been nice if they did more to make it look better.

Profchaos47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

They should have released the game in its current state not the state it launched in. Obvious we all wanted this to be a expansion to rdr 2 given that the original map was already remade in the game lots of people though this was just going to be added in later as paid DLC.

Now the game runs at 4k 60 fps on ps5 and can be brought on sale it's actually worth playing.

At launch the game was priced far to high and was a ps360 era game that couldn't run at 60 fps.

I'm in no way a frame rate snob I defended games like tears of the kingdom in the past for being 30 fps experiences but rdr was a joke at launch
