With the recent release of the awesome Alan Wake on Steam, and the excitement surrounding the upcoming release of Dark Souls on PC later this year, I figured it was a good time to write a topic like this and ask what games that have been out on consoles that you would like to see a petition for to be released on PC.

For me, I would love to see a petition for Valkyria Chronicles to be released on PC. Why? Because back when I owned a PS3, this was one of my all-time favourite games for the system. The cel-shaded graphics and art style were impressive, the story was pretty good and actually showed gamers the horrors of war which games like COD fail to do these days, the characters were likable (most of them at least), and the gameplay was awesome as well. I would like to see this released on PC at some point (with the help of a petition, of course), and this version could have some improvements made to it such as packaging all of the DLC with the game, updated resolutions, maybe even include a soundtrack with it like some PC games do these days, and finally not release it with GFWL (since the gaming community knows how much you don't want this to be with Dark Souls, even though several other games have released with it, and you haven't cared in the slightest), but then again, it probably wouldn't release under GFWL because of it being a PS3 game.

And finally, for those who are thinking "It'll never happen because it's a Sony exclusive/it's designed just for consoles etc", then let me remind you that while that might be the case, I think that anything is possible with PC releases. I personally didn't think that Alan Wake would be released on PC, and yet just this year, it happened, and the sales for the PC version of that game were very good as well, so I would like to believe that just because it's exclusive to a console doesn't mean a PC release is impossible.

So anyway, that's my personal choice for a PC release. How about you though? What console game would you like to see a PC version of? Would you sign a petition for you choice? Leave your choices in this topic and let the community know what you think. Thanks for reading!

This was my thought also... but you already know the answer "PC is such a better platform.. blah blah"

But yeah, if a game is REALLY good on a console, doesn't make it REALLY good on PC.

The PC version of Metal Gear Solid 2 was HORRIBLE. In fact ports have a tendency to be bad.

Cause then the PC master race would have to admit that consoles are worth buying too. We can't be having that!

Journey is all I can think of.

It would be funny to put Gears of War onto the PC so it can sink and die, that way we can all laugh in Cliff B's face for his "All PC gamers are thieving pirates" remark.

Oh man there are so many goodies, Journey, Pixel Junk Shooter, LittleBigPlanet, Ratchet and Clank, RDR, Uncharted, God of War(if the QTE guy gets shot first), Demons Souls,... and possibly many more that escape me at the moment.
Or just wait for the next console cycle and get it all on the cheap.

Bad ports aside, a cable xbox 360 controller works great on the pc =) been loving playing kingdoms of amalar sooo i guess i wouldn't mind some decent hack and slash titles or adventure ones.

To be specific? well i can't now that i come to think about it ^^,most decent games are released multi platform these days anyways... Maybe a few jrpgs such as magna carta 2 or persona etc :)

Have yet to see any PC master race guys here but sure is avid console lovers :p

Off topic:
I couldn't care either way im lucky enough to be out of school so no one harps on about one console being better than another at work hehe. Most decent games are cross platform anyway so makes no difference to me. also disposable income all the way :>

Why spend money on a console if you have the power to get them over to the PC and only have to pay $50-60 per game? Much cheaper than buying a $300 console and a couple $50-60 games. Besides there might only be a few games you actually want from the console while you own everything else on your computer, it'd be a wasteful investment.

Because you have them on console but would prefer to own them on PC with all the things PC games bring.

I understand how you feel. I love Valkyria Chronicles.

Isn't there a PS3 emulator being developed though, or is that just a rumor?

OT: Since I'm mainly a console gamer, I don't really wish for anything to be ported over to the PC yet. Although if I were to have one game to share with my PC comrades, it would probably be Journey for the PS3. I know a lot of people wished that game would be on the PC.

From what I've heard, Uncharted 2+3 and Twisted Metal (though maybe it's better if they port it to 360).

Well Gears 1 was on PC and did quite well due to the fact that it was a well done port. What he said may not have been very nice or even true, but at least his company is not actively fucking over PC gamers with overzealous DRM (I'm looking at you, Ubisoft). Last month he was even encouraging new devs to release on PC. [http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/03/09/epics-cliff-bleszinski-says-new-devs-should-make-for-pc/]
