Yeah, it launched at $15 and was half off less than a month later.

Finally completed the whole Splinter Cell saga

Is there any way to get pandora tomorrow? I played it originally on the OG Xbox. I think I recall enjoying it more than the first and maybe more than Chaos Theory.

gmg sale is over? that encore day 2 didn't last long

 

[Dr Dogg]

Good golly does Lego The Hobbit look stunning (well for a Lego game at least). Since Batman 2 TT has been really putting the work in. Also they're just as easy to run as the earlier less effect heavy games, even at 2560x1440@60hz (in fact my GPU down clocked to 666Mhz). No idea why the newer consoles are struggling with these, oh well.

I was just doing some reading on Max Payne 3's New York Minute Hardcore.

That sounds like a frustrating achievement. For those that don't know, you have to beat the entire game, in one sitting, without dying, on the hardest difficulty, while conforming to their 'minute' arcade mode. If you die or fail a mission, you start over.

Yeah you wait until you finish Hard Mode without using Auto Aim and neither of the achievements pop because you accidentally changed one of the the menu settings that effects them. To say I was pissed was an understatement.

The PC version? Not through any legal digital distributors, to my knowledge. You can find physical copies of it around, though. It's weird because all of the other older SC games are on Steam.

Pandora Tomorrow is not on DD platforms either for soundtrack reasons or that weird lighting bug

 

[liezryou]

So how long until we get FFIX and FFX on steam? I wantz em .

 

[Arthea]

So how long until we get FFIX and FFX on steam? I wantz em .

we still need to get V and VI, then maybe (extremely unlikely) we will get IX and X.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Probably not anytime soon, if ever. VII and VIII were both on Windows before, and FF3 was a likely easy port job from mobile.

 

[JaseC]

Both are unlikely as both are exclusive to PlayStation platforms. Porting them to the PC would likely require more effort than Squeenix is willing to commit.

Lighting bug. Shadows go bye bye.

FFX has a higher chance of releasing on Steam IMO.
FFIX...wait for an iOS release, followed by a Steam port :V

 

[yuraya]

Its SE. They probably first release them on IOS/Android. Than wait couple more years they come to handhelds and maybe years later they might make their way to steam.

In other words..probably never lol

 

[BinaryPork2737]

I'm not sure if it would be for soundtrack reasons since the PC version was used for the PS3 trilogy collection. It even had all of the lighting issues fixed on that version.

Emulating the PS2 or GC version is currently your best option. I picked up the PS2 version as GC games are more difficult to find.

Lighting bug I believe. Such a shame we get the worst version of Double Agent and no Pandora Tomorrow.

Neither have PC versions like FFVII or FFVIII, so who knows? I would think we would be getting FF Type-0 along with the XBO/PS4 versions, but they are skipping the PC on that.

FFIX actually has some high-resolution pre-rendered backgrounds that were not included with the game http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=551612

if you don't mind me asking what would they need to go around to get a Steam ver. up? Aside from replacing PS button prompts with say Keyboards or the 360 controller buttons.

But a boy can dream can't he... ; ;.

Seriously though, I wish square would actually embrace PC and just SPLOOGE and re-release all their old games on steam. And it's not like it'll be bad for them, just imagine the sales if they release chrono trigger on steam.

well that's evil

considering the amount of work that went into that game you gotta wonder how hard it'd be to fix the bug on the PC version and re release it. it's one of the best splinter cells

Porting an entire engine to work on the massive range of x86/x64 hardware is much more difficult than you think.

I dont FFX is ever coming, mainly because the HD port seem to be done with Sony proprietary tech (and that's why it didn't release on 360)


If any of them have any chance of coming, I really would say that FFIX is the one with the most chances.

...that's not how ports work.

They were:

The “lost art” referenced in the thread title isn’t meant to describe this content as having been lost and found – it refers to the art details that were lost when the graphics were downconverted to a limited 32-bit console.

if you don't mind me asking what would they need to go around to get a Steam ver. up? Aside from replacing PS button prompts with say Keyboards or the 360 controller buttons.

Basically, the games would need to be rewritten as the code would be incompatible with PC hardware. It's certainly not tantamount to creating a game from scratch as all of the audio and visual assets are fine, but the behind-the-scenes stuff would need significant revamping.

FFIX would look phenomenal on PC then.

If any of them have any chance of coming, I really would say that FFIX is the one with the most chances.

FFT would be another good option, as the iOS port supports high resolutions. You would think Type-0 would have been an easy decision as well, difficult to explain Japanese business decisions logically.

But i mean... ps1 emulation has been out for a long ass time. It cannot be that difficult. (If I am still way off base, apologies i am not a coder.)

oh man

damn lousy devs refusing to make ports, you just gotta change button prompts!

Don't worry, when the now current gen consoles get the inevitable Lightning Trilogy Collection, PC will get it too

Guess that answers it then, along with that unique Sony thing.

I would prefer FFXV and KH3.

 

[Salsa]

dead rising dev showed up on that 30fps thread I made

basically what we thought : wasn't built in a futureproof kinda way for a PC release, too much work to go there and try to redo it know without really knowing the outcome, capcom doesn't consider PC a priority to the point of pulling those resources

 

[Arthea]

I would be OK with that, inspite of all shortcomings, FF13 combat was fun, 13-2 had monster catching, and 3.... well it has Lightning at least (><)

I would prefer FFXV and KH3.

I would prefer FF0 and FFXV, and I really hope we'll get at least iOS port of FF0 some day.

 

[Grief.exe]

I'm very disappointed we didn't get a MGSV PC announcement at E3.

GTAV and Grim Fandango announcements were great though.

There is no iOS port of Type-0. Agito is set in the same universe but a different story.

And quietly can it like the Vita version of Zone of the Enders HD.

 

[Arthea]

I thought it's the same game... My head hurts, SE announced Agito, then renamed Agito to 0 and then made another Agito? *confused forever*

 

[RavenValor95]

Congrats! I'm one game away from saying the same(need to finish Pandora Tomorrow)
Since you seem like a Metal Gear fan(judging from your name) How do you like SC in comparison to MGS?

Please don't Lightning me.

It certainly was easier when it was just 7, 8, 9, 10.

What about RE4?

 

[Grief.exe]

Splinter Cell
Pandora Tomorrow
Chaos Theory
Double Agent (PS2/Xbox/GC)
Double Agent (PC/360/PS3)
Conviction
Black List

 

[Salsa]

what about it? different engine

Well they worked to get the visuals improved as best as possible and it can run at 60 FPS for the most part right?

The Lightning talk made me go back and look at the Dengeki poll results thread, and I found a post I don't even remember making.

Time to make a new series set in an alternate mutliverse. Almost every Final Fantasy game but with one main character from the cast replaced with Lightning. Replace all of the nameless characters from the original with Lightning, Leon from II, Luneth from III, Cecil from IV, Bartz from V, Terra from VI, Cloud from VII, Leon from VIII, Zidane from IX, Tidus from X, Basch from XII. And then for the finale, have all of the Lightnings from every universe come together in one more universe to create an entire party of Lightnings.

You can have that idea for free, Square Enix.
