Is this thread good for begging for a definitive* Skies of Arcadia port on PC? Because I REALLY REALLY REALLY want that.

After watching HyperBitHero's videos on the Yakuza series, I want to be able to play the series even more. How does the Wii U have more Yakuza games available than the PC? Come on SEGA, throw us a bone.

Seriously, these games look great:

Hi Taro, it has been a while.

While we're on the subject of youtubers related to speculative sega ports to PC, watch yoshesque on youtube if you want some in depth Bayonetta videos

Fixed.

Don't watch her Bayo 2 videos. She will make you hate the game.

Bayo 2 probably isn't realizable for PC anyway

Pfft bayo 2 will make it on steam/pc eventually

Not until Nintendo goes third-party.

would be great, cause Bayonetta on ps3 was poorly ported...

yakuza 0 let's go

 

[SmokedMeat]

Just like Lego City Undercover. Not going happen. Nintendo helped with development, blah, blah, blah...

Anything can happen in this business.

I'm excited to see what Sega announces though. Bayonetta would be sweet, but I'm not holding my breath for it. I've got a strong feeling Skies of Arcadia will though.

Sonic Heroes already got a PC port.

 

[LewieP]

Sonic Heroes already got a PC port.

They should probably get it on Steam et al though. IIRC the port could do with a little work too.

I admit I have poor knowledge on how copyright works (or what Nintendo had to do with LCU), however with Bayonetta 2 there are parts of the game they own. In Smash 4 Wii U if you check the Bayo1 music it reads "Original Composition: Copyright Sega", but if you check a Bayo2 music it reads "Original Composition: Copyright Nintendo" instead.

Iwata is credited as Executive Producer on LCU.

 

[Zia]

After all of this time one of the announcements has to be something Big like a Platinum game or Yakuzua, right?

... right?









More Sonic it is.

 

[STHX]

Iwata is credited as Executive Producer on LCU.

But Nintendo doesn't own the Lego brand, just as they don't own the Bayonetta brand.

Similarly, it's unlikely they own the models from LCU (they are lego shaped, they must be from WB), or the music, but they definitely own the music from B2 (maybe even more).

I would like to say I'm not arguing against a B2 PC port, Ninja Gaiden 2 was 360 exclusive yet NGS2 was not, a "Bayonetta 2 Sigma" could exist without problems, and not just on PC either (hell, I would love it to play it on PC with better framerate and resolution) but I don't think the comparison to LCU is fair since the brands are too different.
We don't currently know if the LCU remaster has been changed in some ways either, nor what type of changes would have to be made to B2 in a potential non-nintendo remaster.

 

[BasilZero]

Steam release obviously.

You cant buy it anywhere right now without forking out a huge amount for a physical version.

You'll take your Sonic '06 port and like it .

Ninja Gaiden 2's development wasn't funded by Microsoft. Sure, Platinum could release some updated version of Bayonetta 2 with an updated name not on a Nintendo system. It would just mean they've burnt a bridge with a first-party publisher.

 

[PantsuJo]

Vanquish or Resonance of Fate.

Please.

Not another Sonic, please.

 

[Celcius]

Really? I used to have the physical PC version back in the day... it sounds like I should have held on to it @_@

 

[ArtHands]

I feel like that Yakuza series is the perfect series they can put out on Steam, what's with the Asian setting.

 

[Lazaro]

It was also re-released as part of PC compilation. It was sold for $18 AUS, not sure if Europe also got this.
http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic_PC_Collection

One of my favourite physical PC purchases. There was also a limited edition with 20th anniversary mouse and mousepad.

 

[Timedog]

Vanquish and Bayonetta oh god please

 

[TimmiT]

Hoping for either Vanquish or Yakuza games myself.

Never seen here is Europe. Seems cool.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

I have a feeling it will be Vanquish based on Platinum's comments recently.

 

[Krusenstern]

Please don't be another stupid Sonic game. Please be Vanquish, Bayonetta, or Resonance of Fate.

 

[Madrugador]

It better not be Sonic Heroes Sega.

Spoiler

But I want it on Steam too. Give us everything!!

If a bridge was burned every time a supposed exclusive went to other hardware, we'd have no bridges left.

I'll take the Sonic '06 port lol


Never played it....but I'm sure it will be okay.....right ?

 

[Lagamorph]

The physical version is like £3 used on Amazon or £15 brand new.

 

[TC McQueen]

Vanquish better be one of them.

Also, it could be an announcement for a Valkyria: Azure Revolution port to go with a localization on PS4. The timing is right for that, since it comes out January 17 (IIRC), 2017.

 

[Linkark07]

Don't play with my feelings Sega.

 

[CertifiedFP]

Alright gents, I won. Pass me the pot. It's Early 2017 instead of late 2016.

Vanquish better be one of them.

Yup, that'd be a very Sega thing of Sega to hold off on announcing Azure Revolution's localization until January instead of at the prime opportunity that was PSX.

If the only hold up was the music, they could feasibly replace any affected tracks.

But you are right that there's too much we don't know about the contract from the Wii U release to know if it's possible.

I guess we can say with reasonable certainty that the first game at least could hit PC.

 

[Trojan X]

Don't toy with our feelings, Sega.

This isn't new for SEGA. Take my advice. Forget it. Don't think of anything until you see something come to fruition. That way you won't get hurt.

 

[orochi91]

I'd be down for a Persona or Yakuza collection on PC.

Other than that, there isn't much else they could announce that would get me excited; really don't care for Vanquish or Bayonetta

:V

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Oh we're still bumping this thread with more cryptic teasing

 

[pretty done]

Yea some people are easily excited. Everytime I see this bumped I hope Bayo or Vanquish is coming to PC, only to click this thread and be disappointed. Never say never but honestly I feel like this shit is never happening.

Either way, preserve a game that wasn't preserved previously. Huge positive no matter the outcome.

Not everyone might be aware that Sega is in the process of announcing new titles. Letting people know Sega's shorterm plans for the new year seems pertinent.

 

[Momentary]

I predict that the announcements will be for Persona, Valkyria: AR, Virtua Fighter 5, and Vanquish. I'm so sure that these titles will release in 2017 on PC that I'd wager a 3 month ban on myself.
