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.

GoldenGamer5087d ago

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

Ranshak5087d ago (Edited 5087d 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.

start here:

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_Riggz5087d ago (Edited 5087d 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

Venoxn4g5087d ago

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_5087d ago

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

BlackKnight5087d ago

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

_LarZen_5087d 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.

BlackKnight5087d 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.

Triggs5087d ago (Edited 5087d ago )

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

Apollyn5087d ago

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

Substance1015087d 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.

Hifist15087d ago

What about PC games missing on console? :D

reynod5087d ago (Edited 5087d 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.

MidnytRain5087d 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.

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Cacabunga1d 5h ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

mkis00721h ago

I'm pretty sure the next game will be another prequel as the story really has no where to go as far as being a western after red dead redemption. The next game will end with the ferry boat incident.

Profchaos1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

thorstein1d 3h ago

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.

Gears of War 2 Remake was in development “10 years ago” but was scrapped by Xbox

Ayi Sanchez: "Old work. I did this 10 years ago now as part of a material test for a remaster of Gears of War 2 that never happened."

RaidenBlack98d ago

lolz,
hope we're still getting Gears 2 & 3 for PC, as per rumors

Cacabunga97d ago

Xbox always taking the right decisions

XiNatsuDragnel98d ago

Wow... just wow Microsoft sigh at it again 😑

Lightning7798d ago

Weird, in mean they had no studios to make anything really new so there's a part of me thats kinda glad they scrapped it. If they released this back then it would of gotten ridiculed for remakes and remastering stuff. Now they have new and interesting games so the collection is harmless.

CrimsonWing6997d ago

Geez, Xbox, something like that I would’ve bought Day 1. Great business decisions over there.

lucasnooker97d ago

10 years ago it wasn’t such a big deal. The games were only a few years old by that point

CrimsonWing6997d ago

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition came out in 2015 (essentially 10 years ago), having a follow-up to that on the then next-gen console would’ve absolutely been welcomed, in my book.

LoveSpuds97d ago

I can only assume the the Gears of War Remaster flopped so they decided to scrap the other remakes?

Seems short sighted to me as I really enjoyed the 1st remaster. Regardless, I'll snap up some remakes to play on my PS5.

darthv72106d ago

Personally, I'd rank Pacific Rift in my top 10. It's the best of the series.

badz149105d ago

We desperately need Motorstorm back. Evolution is no more though and this makes me sad

Cacabunga105d ago

Sly Thieves in Time
Stay the Party
Portal 2
Dj Hero
Demon’s Souls
God of war Ascension

rudero105d ago

2 of those games got railed through the “gaming media” during release.
Sly and god of war.
Both of which were fantastic games.

Cacabunga104d ago

Ascension is VERY underrated. Remake please!

Venoxn4g105d ago

Decent list.. I would put the Castle Crashers as well..

1Victor105d ago

Yes it’s a decent list of popular games with a heavy hand on FPS and no Warhawk or Starhawk 2 of the best games (not sale wise) on ps3.
I would buy a Starhawk again even if it didn’t have a graphics upgrade hell I would even take a new one with micro transactions 😱🤯

Profchaos105d ago

I've noticed a recent nostalgia for the PS3 and I don't get it for me it's been my least favourite generation to date and I've been gaming since the NES I just feel like the ambition of the developers outweighed the capabilities of the consoles so I remember lots of games running in the lower end of 20fps range and I remember for the first time ever actually disliking the duelshock 3 and it's curved triggers

Sure there were some standouts and great games but that's the only gen I switched entirely to PC gaming

darthv72105d ago

Maybe the recent nostalgia is because pretty much all of its games are trapped on that console. People want to play them on more modern hardware. hell... if XB can do it then so can Sony. there are competent emulators out there that can run on PS4/5 hardware but Sony just wont let them become official... why is that?

If we are talking least favorite generations (personally) then this one is certainly mine. i had more fun playing 8th, 7th and 6th gen stuff than 9th. And it isnt like i dont have access to do so... the heavy hitters just havent shown up anywhere close to those previous gens. The few here and there just doesnt cut it compared to the likes of constant good games that showed up in 6th, 7th and 8th gen. hell.... I'll even throw in 5th gen has been better than this one.

Profchaos105d ago

I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.

I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64

I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.

But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.

The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.

Michiel1989105d ago

if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.

darthv72104d ago

Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.

coolbeans105d ago (Edited 105d ago )

The list is missing Folklore.
