Bayonetta: Bayonetta has a very clean look and lots of crazy effects on screen...this would look mindblowing on PC when using Nvidia 3D vision.

I want it :(

Also, I want GT5, since most of its problems is related to the lack of power of the PS3.
Heavy Rain, the lack of AA (or low AA) really annoyed me while playing it.
FFXIII, the art is gorgeous, it would be awesome to be able to play using the high polygon models always.

@kain_kusanagi: you missed completely the point of the thread.

No, I got the point. It's a silly topic, and a naive one at that. The point seems common among PC fanboys who think the PC the only choice for real gamers.

Some people seem to not understand the point of exclusives. Moving games to PC does not magicly make them better. PC fanboys seem to think that consoles are holding gaming back, but PC exclusives games are not crazy better looking than Xbox 360 games. GT5 would not be better if on PC. Alan Wake would not be better if on PC. We need platform esclusives to force consumers to pick a platform so companies are forced to compete. Halo should never have been ported to PC or Mac and Halo 2 should never have been ported to Vista. I'm glad it was the last Halo to go to PC. Halo belongs on a big TV in front of a couch.

Games would not be better if they were all released on PC. The industry would suffer greatly if they were.

What is your problem? For people with a decent PC these games would be better on PC unquestionably, why does it bother you so much that people want the games on another platform anyway? If more games were on all platforms then platforms would just have to compete in other ways like price, timed exclusivity, graphics, additional services etc I mean that is MS's strong point after all. 

Halo started life as a PC game so I am not sure why you would think it shouldn't have been ported to PC, I mean it's not like it stopped the game being the defining game for the Xbox. PC gamers have no problem playing games on the couch anyway, it's the flexable platform remember. 

The industry as a whole would not be in worse position with more multiplatform games that is why the vast majority of 3rd party games are multiplatform today because it's better for the industry.

Check out my hype threads: Cyberpunk, and The Witcher 3!

Every single game where the gamer is obligated to use an analog stick to aim.


This! I really fail to fully enjoy the gameplay of shooters when I'm forced to use those damn sticks! Give me M&K controls or motion controls, or beat it.

 

I also think that a lot of niche game makers should consider releasing their games for the PC.



I think the reason why many console exclusives never hit the PC is due to the obstruction of Japanese developers/publishing companies.

The Japanese are very hard-working people who invest alot of time and energy into their creations and thus they don't like stuff being downloaded for free.
Other Asians(especially south east Asians like me) will have no qualms going to sites like piratebay or gametorrents to get their share of free games even if they can afford it.
Our culture teaches us that paying $60 bucks for anything other than daily necessity is a waste of money even if you are financially well-off.
The japanese understand that culture very well too.

So IMHO if for some reason the majority of the console exclusives end up on the PC, it will affect the profits of those developers and publishers of those games rather heavily.



Forza Motorsport, simply because it would look very good @ higher resolutions than 720p, also there are lots of wheels avaliable for PC.



Around the Network

GT and Forza (PC offers better simulations, but GT and Forza offer a lot of different racing experiences in one game, they are actually more a collection or an anthology than just simple single games), Metal Gear, the best JRPGs, Zelda and some Mario games, but not too many!

Note: I wouldn't mind if console exclusive were ported later to PC to protect their sales on consoles, for me every game I didn't ever play is new, whatever its first release date.

TGS, Third Grade Shooter: brand new genre invented by Kevin Butler exclusively for Natal WiiToo Kinect. PEW! PEW-PEW-PEW! 
 


Killzone, i would love to see what the developers can do with PC, they did wonders with old tech (PS3) and it almost looked as good as most current gen PC games, i wonder what they can do with current gen PCs with all their talents.



PC gamers deserve nothing.

Having said that, asking Sony , MS and Nintendo to put their exclusives on PC is stupid. Especially first party games.

uh, why is that?

After finishing the very awesome Sonic Generations on the PC I figured to ask which other console-minded games you guys think should get a PC port and for what reasons.

My list would be:

Alan Wake: It was absolutely clear that 360 was holding that game back visually quite a bit. Also not many PC games like Alan Wake are available. Alan Wake on 3 screens in 1080p per screen would have been an experience for sure.

Bayonetta: Bayonetta has a very clean look and lots of crazy effects on screen...this would look mindblowing on PC when using Nvidia 3D vision.

Any Super Mario/Zelda/Metroid: Its about time for Nintendo to make some money on an offical PC ports of their best games as currently 1000's of people are playing superior versions of their games using Dolphin emulator in full HD.

This, Twilight Princess looks absolutely gorgeous in 1080p + AA + AF.
