|
 |
So, a bit of a weird question. I vaguely remember playing some really shitty ports where features that existed in console versions that would still be relevant, non-existent in the PC version. ie. ports without proper controller support.
Or even the other way around, where PC features are stripped for the console port.
Can anyone think of a few, if any:?

Escape from Butcher Bay and the Mass Effect series shipped without controller support, despite having it on their respective consoles. Latest one would be Deadly Premonition, not supporting gamepads. There's tons more too, just tired and can't think of many at the moment.

Resident Evil 4. The PC version shipped in a comatose state, and with no lighting effects at all. 
Also Splinter Cell: Double Agent, it was supposed to be a port of the 360 version, but missed several graphical goodies. (Also the game itself was a complete mess, and ran even worse back then).
When it comes to crappy ports though it's impossible to not mention Saints Row 2, GTA IV, Bully pre-patch, Metal Gear Solid 2, Dark Souls, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and many many others, the list would be infinite really.

no native gamepad suppert doesn't equel to "shit port" as long the KM controls are fine.
performances and graphics are more importent.

Dark Souls? The worst possible port I have ever met? It is simply just unplayable on PC no matter how many fixes you apply.
And the fact that it looks ugly as fuck.

Looking ugly with mods though? "nope just nope" |
As bad as looking and performing identical to the console version is, I think ports that have worse peformance (and/or visuals) than the console versions are the worst. Eg Devil May Cry 3.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."

"a phenomenon."

Why do we need a general thread for most of PC games nowadays and especially "next-gen" titles?

Sadly it was not.  We got inferior models and shading, even if the final result was still superior to the Xbox1 version. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=1066726

Indeed! How could I forget that one..such a shame. Just Cause 1 got the same treatment if I recall correctly.
Not to mention sport games. Dozens of PC games made in EA were PS2 ports, whereas the 'nextgen' versions stayed console exclusive (and this cycle happened again, this year, with FIFA 14 *sigh*  ). NBA 2K PC is also slightly limited if compared to the console versions. |

You know, it could've been worse than that...

Hopefully next gen consoles, seeing as how they are built on i386 architecture using AMD 8 core processors and AMD video should hopefully be easier to port. I've always been an intel/nvidia, but will consider AMD next build... maybe heh.
