Classic SEGA you want on Steam?
« on: October 27, 2014, 08:07:35 pm »
With the news that Valkyria Chronicles coming to PC/Steam. Which games to you think both Sega and us fans could benefit from a HD port to PC? Here is my short list of 10 games I think would do well on Steam. (No, Shenmue is not included... I want that on everything!)

Mainly Sakura Wars, it has a PC release but I want it translated and Steam fresh.
Do not have any real desire to play most games on PC, because with newer games I worry about specs and there are no demos I rather just play on consoles then.  However, if they give me Sakura Wars I would buy that ASAP.

How about one that is already made on PC and just need a Steam release (for outrun 2006 a re-release).

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg:

I also think SEGA should make a PSO:BB version of the game that lets users 'use' their internet connection as a server, thus making the online aspect free for SEGA. They can make money by charging 15 dollars for nostaglia users!

Pretty much every game listed here already has made my list.

Though change the "Steam" part to "Steam and GOG/DRM Free" and you have me. It is one of my least favorite activities from publishers, to bring a classic game back and put it behind a client wall.

Isn't Typing of the Dead already on steam? I don't think half of those games would make the money back for Sega.
(And I think Sonic Heroes and Billy Hatcher are better left forgotten.) :D

But their already ON fucking PC, just put them up on GOG.com which is made for these games. I'm not asking for SEGA to remake the games on PC. Just patch them to work on Windows 8 which GOG already does for plenty of games on their store.

And no, Typing of the Dead isn't on Steam. That is Typing of the Dead: Overkill based on Overkill the game. Not the classics.

Also: Fuck you, Outrun 2006 would make money.

They literally don't even have to do that. GOG does the heavy lifting for compatibility and Quality control testing, and only will call up devs and pubs if they need extra hands on which is basically only for post release support.

Noooo. :<
IMO Billy Hatcher in particular was one of the better 3D platformers at the time.

I'm not posting them there to say that its a great platformer, but its just a game that is already 'created for PC' and isn't being release. Thus they are making no money.

I feel if SOJ should let their subsidaries..mainly Sega Europe handle PC convertions to Steam or just port titles to PC from their old classic arcade libary instead of doing it themselves..it would be a real good benefit. But of course let's be careful what we wish for. BAYONETTA for PC could end up a bad PC conversion..if its not done right..even VC could. We have seen it before from Sega when they just rushed a project. I'm not particually happy with the PC version of PANZER DRAGOON myself.

Not sure if you were responding to me. Billy Htcher should definitely be available. Money's money and it was a solid game. I was just saying that calling something one of the best platformers of 2003 isn't exactly high praise.
