Console Exclusive Games We Want to See on PC
Let me start first that this is not an opportunity for console games in general, and if there is an example in the article, it was not intentional. The only thing we’ll be focusing on is a great, exclusive game title with great gameplay, story, or other combinations of gameplay mechanics that have graced console platforms. This article also won’t talk about glorifying PC specs. It’s about a love of games. Some of the titles here are well known, and to be fair, none of the games have any hardware limitations that prevent them from adapting to the PC. So, let’s take a look at some of the more popular game titles on consoles that we’d love to see fit for a PC version. All of these titles are well-known titles if you have been in the gaming business.
God of War
There’s no denying it. It is a well-known fact today that God of War has transcended its original genre that was generally thought to be pretty mindless as it involves hack and slash as well as quick time gameplay. Sure, that genre was popular in its time, but as the gaming community grew more immersed in the medium, we need more than blood and gore to drive us forward. And then God of War turned the table on everyone and the reception of the final release has been celebrated, even to this day. God of War focuses on the storytelling aspect but instead of a man hungry for revenge, the lens is changed to the journey of a father and son. Make no mistake, the fighting mechanics have improved tremendously. To highlight how good this game was, we are confident that this single game has guaranteed the success of the PlayStation 4 platform. Every punch is heavy, every battle cry feels primal and the boss battles reach a new level of satisfaction. Bringing this title to PC will definitely see an increase in sales despite being released in 2018. Not even time can dull the enjoyment of a well-made game. If you’re curious how this game became the new benchmark for game quality, grab your PSN Gift Cards and get a copy of the game available on PSN today. Experience the greatness yourself.
Last of Us
The common denominator on why we want to see the games mentioned on this list is because of the amazing story that they let gamers to be a part of. The Last of Us has definitely put itself in the top tier of zombie apocalypse-themed games. From tender moments in the midst of chaos to emotional scarring decisions, the Last of Us makes you feel something. We feel the pain, the anger, and the determination of the characters in the game as they traverse the new terrain of a dystopian world. Last of Us not only brings a strong story, but it also showcases great character development along the way. The characters feel real, in the sense that they are grounded enough to make them relatable to anyone playing it to a certain degree. The game also features a more realistic approach when it comes to combat. The stealthier approach is preferred in the game when going against zombies and human foes alike. Although the second installment has brought much ire in the community regarding how the characters and story were handled, it is an amazing and immersive experience that everyone should try at least once.
Ghost of Tsushima
Over the years, we’ve seen how Japanese history and culture is adapted into various forms, and one of its famous cultural reference that is known worldwide would be its ancient warriors, the samurai. Ghost of Tsushima focuses on ancient samurais. Unlike a lot of other games revolving around samurais, Ghost of Tsushima has managed to keep it as close as it gets to a real samurai. There are definitely supernatural elements added into the game and there might not be historically accurate, but the vibe that’s created from the game is nothing seen before. It has since seen a massive following from Japan, citing as one of the best games that represented the samurai culture. Some would categorize Ghost of Tsushima as a Japanese version of Red Dead Redemption 2. The game also emphasizes the different mechanics of combat. 2 main combat approaches are available to players, either brute force or silent takedowns and tactics.
Marvel’s Spider-Man
So, we have an ex Greek god, a samurai/ninja, and hardy zombie apocalypse survivors. What we’re missing from this list now is a superhero. And boy does the PC console needs a dire injection of superhero content. Marvel’s Spider-Man is a great game that has everyone’s jaws on the floor with the leap of gameplay since the last game. Spider-Man has always had an interesting game mechanic to it, which is swinging around the map via tall buildings. That was the one feature that I felt really stuck with me as I played the older titles. And now, with the advancement of game technology, not only you could that with absolute style, there are various additional mechanics added to it such as acceleration, different postures and even attacking mid-swing. Another great title that
Halo 5
Halo has always been associated with Xbox, and if I were to describe the adventures of Master Chief in the Halo series with one word, I would use the word, EPIC. No doubt that the game has been an epic masterpiece from the day it came to Xbox and although there were a couple of shaky titles along the way, no one can deny the chills they get when they hear the memorable game score played in the background. Although we’re seeing some of the older titles getting a release on Steam for PC gamers (finally!), PC gamers would definitely want to be a part of the newer Halo experiences. Halo features mostly on FPS gameplay, and some third-person vehicle combat. There’s nothing much to talk about the game as it is something you need to experience yourself. From its grand setting of a space battle to different fronts, Halo promises unique experiences as you fight your way into hordes of alien units. It’s safe to say that Halo 5 is definitely on top of every PC gamer’s FPS list.
In a nutshell, every gamer would love the opportunity to play all games no matter what platform they’re on. Sure, there are some limitations when it comes to certain genres, such as RTS, but overall, it’s not an impossible idea to have games adapted to different platforms. We’re seeing more cross-play options made available, as well as limited exclusive titles that get a release to different consoles. Here’s hoping that this would be the new norm for future gaming. What game title you would like to see getting adopted to a PC release? Let us know in the comments.
