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

MGS Legacy Collection is really for collectors and those who just started gaming.



Around the Network

They should have ported both No More Heroes 1 & 2 on one disc and not just NMH1 with useless additions for the PS3.



Great list!

Can I go old school?

StarCraft on the Nintendo 64, I cannot imagine how someone can properly play the game using a traditional controller.



I think I have the best one here, ready? Here goes:

Udraw for the Xbox 360 and PS3.

So worthless a port that it actually sunk the entire company of THQ? Even the great state of Rhodes Island couldn't bail the company out.

Such a sad think nobody bought it.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

thanks and sure you can, holy crap i forgot that game was on n64, i didnt even know anybody actually played it. 

Matter of fact if we're talking N64, pratically any late port that came out for that system, dont know why RE2 came out almost 2 years later on that system

MGS3D could have been optimized to run better, but apparently they locked a max framerate on it for 20FPS. Really, could have been better.

Actually, I want to correct myself.  I have no idea if the port was good or bad.  It may have been a great port.  So I apologize to the programers if the did good work.  I don't know.

But the company over invested it in, and it sadly died because of it.  Some games were sold off, some just vanished into dust like steaked vampire.

but thats the point of my thread, its not about if the port was good or not, not totally. but if it was pointless and the ports of udraw are the very definition of pointless.

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?


The games are old, and no one asked for them... and in the case of Mass Effect 3, why the hell wouldnt EA release the trilogy instead of the last game in the series? No wonder Wii U third party games sell badly.
