ITT: obscure ports
how's that obscure?
MGS1 had PC port as well. MG1 & 2 were technically PC games originally.
now, for some truly classic obscures...
>>318026816
Wait, what? There was a Substance version for PC? I should've played that instead of emulating.
>>318027270
I still think this is the dumbest name for a system ever made
>>318026816
MGS2 for the monolith Xbox is more of an obscure port than that.
>>318027314
it's the only version on PC as far as I know.
And it's borderline unplayable on modern PCs. Crashy as fuck, and controls are just bad.

Resident Evil 4 for Zeebo, a failed Ouya-tier console targeted for Brazilians

It's not really playable on modern PCs
Just play it in PCSX2, runs flawlessly last time I checked and you can play it in 1080p with AA out the ass so it's basically the exact same experience as the PC version.
>>318027669
nope metal gear was ported to dos and mgs1 is on pc too works perfectly fine with a compatibility patch as does mgs2 the pc version works just fine
>>318027796
nope the pc version is superior to emulation
>>318027796
I've already finished it. Although with some noticeable slowdowns. The thermal vision was also glitchy.
I guess my PC is just not built for emulation.
>>318027796
I'd add that ONLY if you got a DualShock2/SixAxis controller, because playing without the pressure-sensitive face-keys is just a nightmare.
The PS3's HD ports are easily the best way to play the original MGS games.
>>318026816
The one I played. Did the job okay until the Solidus fight, no way to swing the fucking katana.
>>318027669
>And it's borderline unplayable on modern PCs. Crashy as fuck, and controls are just bad
BS
It doesn't crash at all.
Controls ARE iffy but they are fixable with xpadder
Some effects are also missing like Marines commander not showing up on jumbotrons in a ship hold
but otherwise it's playable
>>318027746
Actually that looks like the android version of RE4
>>318027756
Anon, do you know what obscure means?
>>318028159
I was literally unable to finish it on PC because of unexplained crashing around the middle part of the Big Shell,
>>318027270
MGS1 PC port has gimped Psyco Mantis fight and FMV don't work.
>>318028407
It's based on the android version
>>318026816
>>318026816
Metal Gear (NES) for GameCube only available from The Twin Snakes premium package. The original MGs are also on the Wii through VC in Japan.
>>318029004
Ok now THIS is something I didn't know about.
>>318028964
>>318029270
YO
I PLAYED THE FUCK OUT OF THOSE GAMES ON MY NOGAMES CUBE
WHERE CAN I GET THAT SHIT HOLY FUCK
>that fucking billy hatcher theme
>>318030681the iso zone
>>318030681
gotta pirate or track down a physical copy
>>318031075
>>318031308
torrents seem to be a no go (nothing on public trackers from what I could find) but amazon has physical for $10
can't wait to hear thatLALALALALALALALALAagain
>>318028964
I have that right now
>>318027861
How do pressure sensitive controls work on pc version?
>>318033174
really the only thing thats gonna work with em is PCSX2, shows up a axis when you check out gamepads in control panel
>>318027669
I played the PC version with absolutely no technical problems
>>318033174
if you have a pressure sensitive gamepad and bind the controls it will work
dmc4 for ios
Metal Gear Solid 4 for iOS also.
There was no sneaking. It was an on-the-rails shooter.
>>318029597
My first time playing Half-Life 2 was on xbox.
Deus Ex for PS2.
>>318034790
It's surprisingly decent too. I mean, there's little reason to play it instead of the PC version, but it's certainly not just some butchered port.
>>318033174
>How do pressure sensitive controls work on pc version?
You can set them to separate switch on a hotkey or a controller button (i set it on L3 or something)
Similarly to how it works on 360 port
>>318028463
ymmv, i completed the game and then played further up to half and it didn't do crash
>>318034790
UT99 was also on ps2 and dreamcast same with quake 3
>>318035050
>UT99 was also on ps2
wasn't that some completely different reworked game?
mega man, street fighter, castlevania etc dos ports
>>318035159
nah it was more or less the same as far as i know
>>318027746
>Ouya-tier console
I completely forgot its existence.
>>318035208
I must have one of these.
>>318027907
I hear you, I have a really high end PC and I still can't emulate mgs3 properly. PS2 emulation still has a ways to go imo
>>318035208
What the hell is this?
>>318027861
MSX was basically a PC anyway
>>318036301
dos version doesn't compare at all
>>318034290
So it was just MGS4 then?
>>318035362
MGS3 was playable when I emulated it
There was noticeable slowdown in cutscenes and graphical glitches anywhere where there was water but it was fine apart from these
>>318026816
That fucking port didn't work with certain audio hardware (realtek I think?) and would crash every time for me before I could see the konami logo. Figured out I could use the xbox 360 as a sound device and played that entire game with that shitty mono ear piece the entire way through. Man that was bad.
>>318029270
I spent 100 hrs on this video game. This version too
>>318036481
My settings may have been all fucked then. It was unplayable for me
I win.

A Duke3D "port" in the loosest sense
>>318029597
I actually owned that port. I even had a keyboard and mouse to play it with.
>>318041015
I would like a genuine opinion of someone who has played it if he/she exists.
>>318042487
nah it's not even close more like wolf 3d but worse
>>318027746
dear jesus those are ugly textures
>>318034639
you funny guy
>>318029597
The split screen coop with lady Gordons was fun as fuck.
>>318027756
It had massive slowdown in the rain.
>>318042670
I know this from a review in French. Well it's actually not bad considering the''console'' it was develloped for, it's what you would expect from an Elder Scrolls.
>>318038469
ran in stuning 640x480
Doom has been ported to run on phones, ATM machines, printer screens, even on screens within Doom itself.
>>318034639
Fuck you
>>318028407
zeebo was supposed to play mobile games on an console, something like that
>MGS2 is favorite game of all time
>want to play PC port
>pcgamingwiki has a patch that fixes a lot of the port's issues but requires original ISO file to run
>literally every single MGS2 substance torrent out there is pre-cracked and no original ISO anywhere
>>318030410
That was intended for the Western release of the Disk System, which was cancelled.
Nobody talks about this game but it's actually not a port and a really good game
>>318027270
>>318027861
MGS1 on PC sucks.
>>318026816
i remember the sound for that was so fucked up Snake's footsteps were the wrong noise on most surfaces
every other step inside the ship would be a silenced pistol shot or the game over jingle. every single step he took. so i heard the game over jingle over and over and over and over again until i finally gave up
>>318044809
MGS games, sans 5m suck in general on PC.
>>318043701
believe it or not i have the original discs for the PC MGS2 port somewhere
Ultima Underworld 1 had a JP-only PS1 port with 3D models for all enemies.
>>318038469that was my first experince with Age of Empires. I loved it
>>318034712
>that eye colour
>>318042703
saddest thing, you can two player co op against the AI in multiplayer
imagine playing at like 5 fucking fps and trying to manage units
also, you have both SC and BW, but to access the BW content, you needed an expansion pak. also, there is like ZERO voiced dialogue for characters, its all text and it sucks.
don't play it, don't buy it because your a fucking collector, just trash it HARD.
Quake III had a PS2 port that had a different HUD and interface that actually looked better, but it also had a completely overhauled SP mode.
Those playable in it were Sarge, Doom, Klesk, Daemia, and Anarki, they had different stats like max health, armor, damage, and speed. Funny enough Doom was the slowest.
Some of the matches gave you different starting items for the next. Before a tier advancement was a challenge where you have to deplete a bot player's lives before being seamlessly teleported to another map with the next combatant until you win or lose all of your own. Upon advancement you got a new, unique skin with some stat bonuses. Characters like Sarge became more like a cyborg, Daemia eventually got goggles, and most will get some electronic parts animated like Doom's visor. You can use these buffed characters in multiplayer if you wanted to.
It even had a final boss who's basically the guy who is the announcer and runs the entire fucking thing, the fight boiled down to sniping off his electronic barrier conduits and collecting all the powerups you could as he had a fuckton of health
It had some Team Arena features like the weapons, some maps, and I think a player model or two, but lacked everything else like the team runes/pickups.
>>318026816
The PC version is the one I played. Holy shit it was god fucking awful.
>>318026816
Does it even have mouse look in first person?
>>318028042
You can beat him with just your fists, you casual.
