Forums - Gaming Discussion - Ports that didnt need to be made or Pointless Ports

Me, personally, I thought the 3DS version of MGS3 was the best version. It had MORE detail in many areas but didn't have mud on Snake when he walked through the swamp that one time and there was some slowdown at times. I got it for Vita, PS3, and PS2 (twice), too. Still prefer the 3DS version with circle pad pro, of course. I'm willing to accept that I'm in the minority, though. Either way, it was still a good game and in my opinion is the 3DS's second best looking title. Best playing version, for sure as long as you have a circle pad pro! The Vita version with it's touch screen options is better looking but much harder to play due to the controls.

from a gamers perspective, theres no such thing as pointless ports... only shitty ports.




I never really got the logic behind that MGS3 port for the 3DS. It was a stupid decision. Now that i own Peacewalker i can safely say they should have ported peacewalker instead. It lended itself to portable play alot more.



I think there are some Wii U ports that are missing a ton of content. Can't remember which ones. I know one was an FPS that didn't have online and had crap graphics compared to other versions. It was supposed to be more expensive, too. Somebody made a youtube video on it but I barely paid attention. I'd assume that was a pointless port worthy of the OP.

edit: It was Sniper Elite V2 http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/05/sniper_elite_v2_on_wii_u_lacks_online_co_op_and_dlc

Deus Ex human revolution, Batman arkham city and Mass Effect 3 on Wii U are completely pointless ports.. Pretty much any Wii U port :/



do you not like touchscreen inventory, enhanced graphics, and off screen play?

I don't know about the other two but Batman on Wii U is awesome!  I gave my 360 version away because the Wii U version is just so much better.  The only problem is that the game stutters when it loads a new area.  It needs an HDD install option.

Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection... especially since it's exclusive to PS3. Like MGS fan's don't already own the whole series here

to be fair it is a collection with a lot of games, but i see your point. really a pointless collection, surprised its done as well as it did.



Every PC racing game that I have tried on the PSP has been way worse due to terrible frame rate and controls.
