Sega PC ports campaign continues with petition (Vanquish, Bayonetta, VF5)
- Thread starter TaroYamada
- Start date
However, it doesn't guarantee that we'll get the titles we want. Maybe another batch of Football Manager.
Strange, doesn't seem like Binary Domain is on sale. There's still quite a few gems in between.
Oh look, someone who doesn't understand the purpose of this petition.

Out with you.
You can emulate Sonic Colors. The same can't be said for Vanquish and VF5.
not to derail but theres a petition floating around for Fable Anniversary on PC. http://www.change.org/en-CA/petitions/lionhead-studios-make-it-pc-users-possible-too-to-decide-once-again-about-albions-destiny

Why exactly would the VF5 netcode be terrible?

Yeah, that's what I'm wondering.
I signed it, it seems like it has been around for a while. Was it started over 8 months ago?
Easy ports first. The ones we always wanted later.
I didn't even know Sega has so many pc games, a lot of those aren't available in my region so they never showed up on my store

Both VF5 360 and Final Showdown have great netcode.
Not sure where he came up with that conclusion.

What do you mean by easy ports? Early in 2012, Shenmue and Skies of Arcadia were actually mentioned by a Sega brand manager as being among their most requested games. Here's the quote: “Those are a couple of our most requested games. I can’t say ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ but we may be working on them.” There hasn't been any news since then, but they would probably be a good fit for this petition.
Being requested doesn't make it easier to port. The Bayonetta and Vanquish engine have already been ported over to PC via Metal Gear Rising Revengence.

Binary Domain is on sale for 3,75. The best thing we can do aside from signatures is to actually buy some games. I did my part.
We are not dead yet, guys, right?Right?

Yes, Sajjaja provided the right answer. The Brand Managers won't know about production cost and ease (unless they go investigate of course), that is down to the Producers and Execs.
As rightly highlighted in the 1st page, the games we have mentioned such as VF5 are indeed the cheapest cost in production for SEGA to take, meaning that it won't take much man hours to get the job done compared to the games you've highlighted. Right now, SEGA need proof and faith that the PC market can succeed for them (and us because we want those games) so it is logical for them to start with ease and low budget first using the big titles that will make it possible for them to do so (Bayonetta, Vanquish, VF5) then take more bigger risks with more ambitious titles later even though we have been asking them to do this for years (e.g. Shenmue, Jet Set Radio Future, Virtua Cop 3, Daytona USA with correct online battle netcode and discovery system, Daytona USA 2, etc).
Do you understand?
We've already purchased it
Edit: Oh, Alpha Protocol is a Sega game as well. Support that too, I guess!

I've not only purchased but convinced at least 3 others to buy it since its release. Great game.

I'll grab binary domain at that price. Should I play with keyboard/mouse or a controller?
I heard the keyboard/mouse controls are bad but I haven't tried it, game is built around a controller so you should use that.

KBM is peculiar but better than controller so far as accuracy is concerned, make sure you disable the aim assist and find a good sensitivity setting. It has like 1000 settings on the sensitivity slider, it can be a pain to fine tune it.

Hurrah! Almost to 10k. o:
Nintendo owns the rights to Bayo2 so no.Could we add Bayonetta 2 this list?

B-b-b-buy a WiiU! Ingrate! How dare you not worship lord Nintendo from saving Bayonetta 2 from cancellation!
But seriously dude, this one isn't happening. For better or worse the game is stuck on Nintendo platforms. Buy a second hand WiiU, play it and then sell it. Think of it as a collectors edition or something.

The petition is stalling. Nooooooo.
Could we add Bayonetta 2 this list?
Sorry, but like previously states in this thread, the IP for Bayonetta 2 is owned by Nintendo since Nintendo is funding Platinum to make Bayo2.

I don't suppose anyone has any insight in regards to how metal gear rising did so far on PC. I know it's not SEGA, but it's Platinum and I'm curious.
I am honestly amazed people are still asking for this. Nice to want things, I guess.Could we add Bayonetta 2 this list?
Nope, they licensed a few things out, but never made a pc game them selves.
Nah
But even so it's not likely Sega would want anything to do with a port that involved their own money, especially if the game bombs, so it doesn't really affect the exclusivity.

Nintendo is funding the game. Even Nintendo doesn't own the rights to the game, I don't see Bayonetta 2 going multiplatform for a long time.
If I remember correctly, Kojima was impressed by the PC sales of Rising, but I don't have the source on hand.

If he doesn't release a PC version of Ground Zeroes equivalent or better to the PS4 version. I'm going to be such a sad panda. MGSV was shown off on Windows PCs from the get go
Perhaps they were waiting to see how MGR would do..
I thought this thread was free from people with such a shitty attitude. Guess not, huh?

I know Tony of Amazon said it surpassed their expectations quite a bit over on CAG, for whatever that's worth.
It has been fairly active in the last 24 hours - at least when compared to the last several days. I don't know if the giveaway had any significant impact, but before the giveaway the petition was at 9.372 signatures and now it is at 9.431.
I'm sure Revengeance did well, would have been nice if they'd have given some more specific numbers.
Konami haven't stated anything, but I am convinced that Metal Gear Rising was a success on PC, it was in the Top 10 Sellers list for several days during the pre-purchase period and continued to reside there for quite some time post release.
