No matter your gaming platform of choice, you’re sure to have access to some pretty incredible games. PC Gamers get cool stuff like DayZ, ARMA, Stalker and RTS games, while each console has its share of 1st party exclusives. The PlayStation’s got a wealth of exclusives, like God of War, Killzone, LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted and The Last of Us; The Xbox has Gears of War, Forza and Halo – while Nintendo platforms arguably have the richest library of Nostalgia-driven franchises like Mario, Zelda, Metroid and more.
In an ideal world, what games would you like to see on your preferred platform? What games do you watch from the sidelines, wishing they’d become available to you?

Lost Odyssey –> PS 3 XBOX <—- Ni No Kuni

Oh man, Lost Odyssey, what a game. No sighing or childlike ‘adults’!

even the goofy jansen has a lot of depth and he’s actually funny. great characters in that game
Sir Captain Rincethis
March 15, 2013 at 11:21
And the children are fully realised characters. They ACT like children, but not in that Japanese ‘Ah, groan, moan, oh woe is my life’ manner. I LOVED Odyssey, and would recommend it to anyone. Why no number 2!? 🙁

No 2 almost went ahead, but after the huge translation issues with 1 not to mention the Unreal Engine being upgraded 3 times during the 4 year dev cycle, its just to much work. Also LO1 did not sell, then Microsoft realised that all the American Kids want IS SHOOT SHIT UP games.

I would have loved to play some RTS games on the PS3, but that’s never going to happen. I also need a space sim fix that isn’t really available for PS3. Other than that I just want other people to come to know G(od)OW, Uncharted and Killzone.

As a predominantly PC gamer there are a bunch of console exclusives that I wish I could play on my primary platform, predominantly Gears of War, Forza or GT5, God of War and Uncharted… Specifically God of War III and Forza 4.
TechniKyle
March 15, 2013 at 10:49
I like how you specifically choose the least favoured God of War game.
McDangerousZa
March 15, 2013 at 10:52
I like all three GOW games equally, but I mentioned III purely due to the massive environments and enormous set pieces.
Also, I’m just alternative like that

”Alternative like that”…hehehe…nice one…

Have to agree, God of War III had a huge over the top epic feel to which should have just been the end of the series. I won’t be buying Ascension

You can get the 1st Gears on PC…

I think the one that mattered did, Mass Effect. As for others, I’ve always wanted to play Blue Dragon. I once owned a copy, but it was stolen alongside a couple other of my games by a damn burglar. Somewhere out there, some asshole has some of my xbox games. Other than that… I can’t think of any xbox exclusive that I would love to see on PS3.
Now on the other hand, if Killzone, Resistance, Infamous etc. all jumped ship to xbox from PS3… man oh man, would xbox gamers be in for a treat.
umar bastra
March 15, 2013 at 10:53
blue dragon is such a sweet game in a very simple way, takes you back to the good ol days. My condolences friend

All console exclusives to PC. But, really, after playing them all… There’s no single exclusive that would make me buy a new-gen console… Everything would change if GTA V was announced for next-gen, but as of now, I’m happy with my PC.
And can we stop talking about The Last of Us as if it is a succesful (or even a) franchise? It’s not even out, yet!
mornelithe
March 15, 2013 at 12:15
We’ll stop talking about The Last of Us, when Naughty Dog starts making shit games.
Mathias
March 15, 2013 at 12:30
Meh, I won’t argue with Uncharted 3 fanboys. Those that aren’t even able to find flaws in a game are not worth a discussion.
mornelithe
March 15, 2013 at 12:40
Haven’t played Uncharted 3, yet. Besides, there is no game without flaws, none. There’s always something that could be improved. That aside, the Uncharted franchise has been extremely well received this generation (by industry heads AND Gamer’s), whether you like it or not, is irrelevant.
Mathias
March 15, 2013 at 12:45
So why do you even bother to reply to me? Let me live in my little world when I have a different opinion than others and keep living in the world where what the industry and gamers say is what you should believe, even if you didn’t play the damn thing 😉
I never talked about the Uncharted franchise, I only mentioned Uncharted 3. I consider Uncharted 2 to be the pinnacle of PS3 games, and I don’t give a shit about what Greg Miller tells you to think.
mornelithe
March 15, 2013 at 12:48
You asked us to stop talking about The Last of Us, I told you no, then you started being a douche. So I responded in kind. Man up, or shut up.
Mathias
March 15, 2013 at 12:57
Nice, keep lowering yourself to the levels of other people, you’ll get places.
Talk about The Last of Us all you want, but stop taking for granted that it’ll be the next big thing, or even consider it a franchise. I can say the same thing about GTA V, even if Rockstar proved themselves to be far better than any company mentioned here, there’s still a small chance that it’ll suck.
I referred to the article, not the comments. But whatever, you’re obviously the thinking part of the industry, defending a company but not even playing its latest game.
Hey, you should review games! The industry would love you.
mornelithe
March 15, 2013 at 13:13
I’d have to give myself a lobotomy to lower myself to your level 🙂
Mathias
March 15, 2013 at 13:30
Well, I’m going to quote you now, even if you edited out your reply for some reason, that you “responded in kind”. Stick to what you originally say, please, don’t change specific just because someone used them to reply to you… in kind.
And as much as I see you’re enjoying letting the world know that you have friends and that those friends have speech, I really hope that you still have your own opinion about stuff. You can have 1000 friends telling you a game is amazing or the best thing ever, but then you might play it, and you might *gasp* have a different opinion!
Really, try it out. Even if you end up having the same opinion, at least have the decency of trying out something before bashing it or defending it.
I never ever played MSG 4, and I know a lot of people love it, and I know a lot of people hate the 30+ minutes long cutscenes. Do I like it or will I ever get into a discussion about it? No. Why? Because I didn’t play it.
Hype is a tricky thing. I will confess you that I originally bought a PS3 because of The Last of Us… Then I played U3 and watched more videos about the game that didn’t help. And that hype wore off. Am I still going to buy it? Maybe, but now I’ll wait. It all comes down to patience.
Tarisma
March 15, 2013 at 13:15
I kind of agree with you, I have stopped getting on the hypetrain and falling into that trap. It creates issues you end up pre-ordering and buying shit.
Just because a video looks great doesnt mean the game is gonna be awesome, now that I am older and wiser I wait for reviews to be out before I blindly buy a game. Often I wait till its on special also.

Look up ‘Mugen’ for PC. Hundreds of playable characters from every fighting game ever made (and those not made).
Here’s a video on it:
There is no fighting game that offers more variety than Mugen, it’s playable via PC, and it’s pretty easy to just go and grab new characters, not to mention making your own.

Yeah that sounds pretty cool, also wouldn’t mind playing God of War 3, Gears 3 and maybe Forza or Gran T 5 on my PC rig.

This very topic is why I have every available console in my home, yes, you can hate me but I have been gaming for over 30 yrs now and am fortunate enough to be able to afford some toys. Have to say that I would really love most console exclusives on PC just for the enhanced graphics and most importantly… load times
