Sega PC ports campaign continues with petition (Vanquish, Bayonetta, VF5)

You say "people", as in plural. Citation needed.
Panzer Dragoon Saga PC port is pretty unlikely, since they lost the source code.
Only saw two mentions of Shadow the Hedgehog in the entire thread.
Oh dear god.
If we're getting Vanquish too, what's next?
Is this SEGA picking the low hanging fruit for PC ports first? If so, probably something like Resonance of Fate next.
Or is this SEGA doing Platinum Games stuff at the moment? If so, would Madworld might be next.
If we eventually get Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jet Set Radio Future, and Dragon Force out on modern platforms, I'll forgive SEGA for everything.

Well, you said plural. Two is plural
Yea, I'm just horrified there actually was more than one mention.
I'm already forgiving Sega already for their complete silence after Valkyria Chronicles was released on PC. Are we besties now, Sega?
I'm surprised too. But shouldn't be surprising considering there have been suggestions of porting Sonic 06 to PC too.

Also super agreed to those saying Sonic Unleashed. It could really use the performance/loading boost (especially if you're coming from PS3) and it's still a beautiful game. And as much of a beast it is to plat, I'd probably find a way to do it again since it's a much more enjoyable experience when you're very familiar with it. Learning how often you can make night stages shorter than day stages is a good time.
Oh I agree (and really would like to see a fully-realized Valkyria spinoff), I was just using it as a current release that could act as a breather between ports/other new releases. They seem to be treating it about the same as other recent releases in terms of a retail product so I thought to add it to the list for the sake of rounding up Sega's current output.
But again, that didn't stop Bayo + PPT happening last month, so it's really up in the air.

You don't need the source code to release it for PC. Emulation is an option but more importantly, even with the source code it would be difficult to port and need to be largely re-written at this point due to its age which is the actual reason it's not happening.

These were all worked on by Sega Europe, who handled the marketing and gets the final say on these projects.
I would literally jump for joy if this were to happen.

Is there a better version of Virtua Fighter 5 that was never released like an arcade version? I thought I remember hearing something like that.

I mean SEGA is on a roll right now... but when can we get CAPCOM to port ASURA's WRATH to PC?
When people start caring about Asura's Wrath.
I also need the Clover stuff long before I need Asura, as much as I love that game.
Nah, Final Showdown (that finally made it onto 360 and PS3 in 2012) is the latest version.
Now Virtua Fighter 4 Final Tuned however...
5R never got a console port, but Final Showdown did. 5R no longer matters.

Were the ports of Final Showdown arcade perfect?
There's some audio compression but otherwise they're fine.
And by "some" you mean "dear god that's a lot".
lol it's not that bad. I've played the arcade version a lot. the announcer for example just sounds like that.
I've never played the arcade version. I was just surprised by it coming off VF5 Vanilla. It's the impact sounds that bug me really. Hoping for a Steam release almost entirely for that purpose lol.
Virtua Tennis 4 was on Steam several years ago, unfortunately it came with Games for Windows Live and ended being pulled 2+ years ago...
Based on steamspy, it sold around 60k+ copies or so.

Yakuza 3 and on pleeeeeeeeease.
I can't imagine it ever happening though and even if they did it would just be the latest one probably.

I don't really visit this site much anymore, but after getting a preorder Vanquish on Steam email from Sega I had to check this thread

Cool, now that Bayo and Vanquish are out of the way, get VF5 next please.
Then all the Yakuza games.
Eager to try Bayonetta and Vanquish once I get around finishing MGR lol.
Also hoping for Skies of Arcadia, Persona, and Shenmue ports.
It'll probably get 60 fps clean and faster loading times but that's it.
But I highly doubt Sega would expect people let alone Sonic fans to pay money for this port as infamous as it is.

Sega Japan tweeted about Pai Chan birthday (and the psnow version o VF5FS as well):

Well maybe...

I can't help but feel Sega Japan just isn't that savvy to be dropping hints about upcoming ports.

I believe some of the visual effects got a light downgrade too, right?
Also, why stop at VF5? I want the whole suite of AM2 fighting classics! Sega should do the work to make the PC versions of VF1&2 work on modern PCs. Bring the latest arcade versions of VF3,4,5 to PC. Also, bring Fighting Vipers 1&2, Fighters Megamix to PC.
