*PLEASE NOTE - Do Not Turn This thread into a debate on Which platform is or Is not Best, That is not the intent of this Thread!*

*Please Stay Civil*




So, A big thing in the Industry at this point is exclusive titles.. there may be games we think would work really well with a certain platforms Technology, but will never be on that platform because its either exclusive to another or the owner of the IP no longer has interest in that franchise..


So, what are some Games you think would work great on other platforms?


heres a couple examples:


Pokemon - in all honesty think the gen 1 Pokemon games would work great on Smart Phones.. the gen 1 games have a major advantage over more recent ones in that they are not trying to present much of a story.. the "turn on, play for 5 minutes, turn off and play later" nature would work great on Smart Phones, and would become a staple for people in a Doctor or Hospital waiting room, in line at the DMV, or waiting for your food to arrive while on lunch break..

HALO - granted, the first 2 HALO games were available for the PC, and the fact the PC version was actually superior in many areas makes me wish the later games would get a PC version as well.. HALO titles have always had Forge mode, which people have used in amazing ways to customize maps into entirely new experiences within the limits of it, but a PC version could bring that one step further by allowing entirely custom assets to be used.

Heroes of Might and Magic (or XCOM or any other TBS i suppose) - i have always loved the heroes titles (and Might and Magic in general). was at a buddys house earlier giving the new Heroes a try, while she was messing around on her Wii U, and I suddenly noticed how well that Wii U gamepad thing could work for a turn base strategy game.. have the TVs screen be the battle, while the gamepad listing all your spells, units special abilities, etc..



so, what are some games or series you think could greatly benefit from being ported to another platform due to the potential gain that platform's technology could provide?


*Please Note - this is not just a "i wish I could play this on this" thread, this is more for discussion of how the game or series could greatly benefit from the technology another platform provides*

I would not mind seeing the Playstation 1 Metal Gear Solid coming to Xbox live so I could buy it. That'll never happen in a million years though.
