I’m currently scraping the Steam barrel and I could really use these ports:
- Gravity Rush Remastered/Gravity Rush 2: best traversal in gaming. Surprisingly fun combat too. Just pure joy all around.
- Viewtiful Joe: integral Kamiya core and probably the closest on this list to actually happening seeing the Clover revival.
- God Hand: I have nothing new to add here. All I can do is reiterate the “beat’em goat” claim.
- The Red Star: PS2 hidden gem—mix of beat’em up and twin-stick shooter. Proper action game rooted in arcade design principles.
- Ketsui: again, all I can do is reiterate the “shmup goat” claim. Criminal this is not on Steam. Come on, M2.
Alternate editions of games we already have on Steam:
- Catherine: Full Body: extra stages is cool, but I need the online Colosseum.
- Ninja Gaiden II: ugh, this one is obviously never happening at this point. I swear, even if they try a third time, they’ll most likely find some way to mess it up.
Definitely never happening: Pikmin. Nintendo suck.
Bloodborne.
Nah, best they can do is Concord.
- Astrobot: Yeah I know is exclusive because PlayStation BUT I would love to play it on PC ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Infamous: Second son: Loved in when I watched a gameplay but it’s a share it was never released on PC
- All the Pokémon games? Never happening tho
So yall don’t just play anything on your steam deck? I have viewtiful Joe on my ps2 emulator And the entire gba library on an sd card
I’ve been going fucking wild with emulators lately.
I have Dolphin, Xenia, OpenGOAL, PCSX2 and RPCS3. I have Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Heroes, Sonic '06, all the Ratchet & Clank PS2 games, the Sly Cooper trilogy and Sly 4, all the Jak games, the first two InFamous games, the Tak trilogy, and even more.
I was wanting Sony (or someone) to port at least Sly and Jak to PC, so I got tired of waiting and just got emulators. Old games are super fun.

Same for me on infamous. Come on Sony.
With InFamous, RPCS3 works damn near flawlessly (some games need some tweaking individually to smooth out some kinks, but it’s easy to do).
I ran into some issues late-game in the first one where if you attacked a certain enemy with your basic shock attack, it would totally freeze and crash the game, so you need to switch it to the ASMJIT recompiler. Which, if you do that, the game will run almost perfectly aside from minor audio and graphical bugs.
The second one has some framerate issues, but it’s entirely playable. I’m on the last mission of my good playthrough now.
I’m currently scraping the Steam barrel
Steam released 18,825 new games in 2024, beating its previous record of 14,311 last year.
That’s a pretty deep barrel. For comparison:
https://www.mobygames.com/platform/playstation-4/
There are 11,274 video games on PlayStation 4. They were released between the years 2013 and 2025.
Infamous 1 and 2, I’d love a remake to be honest but I’ll take a simple port.
Final Fantasy Tactics, ideally the War of the Lions version.
Rumors abound for a remaster of this one, but I’m gonna start thinking it was a casualty of SQEX’s recent restructuring if it doesn’t surface this year.
That one you could just emulate.
Crash Nitro Kart. Still stuck in exclusivity hell. Also salty Toys For Bob got canned for no good reasons.
Jet Set Radio Future.
PC or console just give me something!
Have you played Bomb Rush Cyberfunk?
No not yet. It’s been on my wishlist since release :/
Go get it RIGHT NOW
Nine a winner. Pay the front line, take the don’ts.
He’s comin’ out again with a good one. Place your bets now ladies and gentleman.
Gravity Rush is such a banger I just downloaded the second one on my PS4. I beat the first one on my Vita a while back but I don’t really remember how it ends so I might replay that before I start the second one.
Going old-school for this one, but I remembered absolutely loving the RPG Story Mode in Point Blank on the PSX.
I would sell a kidney (not necessarily mine), if it helped produce a PC/Steam remake with mouse compatibility (seeing as Light Gun games have basically gone the way of the dodo).
Freelancer. No need for any remastered nonsense, just patched to work on modern systems.
AvP2, same deal.
Id actually like to try the mess of a SimCity game EA put out in 2013, for some reason it’s still not on steam.
Are you me?
Freelancer was my jam when it came out and my buds and I used to have massive LAN parties playing AVP, back in the day.
Crush, puzzle/platformer only released on PSP and 3ds. It had decent reviews but I guess it didn’t make enough money to get any ports. One of my favorites from the PSP along with Joan d’Arc and persona 3.
Soldier of Fortune: Payback. Obviously the best game ever made.
Viewtiful Joe is a good one.
I think I have an inordinate amount of nostalgia for Metal Arms: Glitch in the System and 007: Agent Under Fire. Both are locked to consoles. The campaign and multiplayer of Metal Arms are all-timers, and while the campaign is fairly basic for Agent Under Fire, the multiplayer, especially with all of the modifiers turned on, is some of my favorite FPS multiplayer ever.
I’d also like a PC version of Soul Calibur II with rollback, please, Bandai-Namco. I don’t care if the series stops there; this is really all I want or need from this franchise. Especially if you can just reskin Link and put his functionality in the game alongside Heihachi and Spawn.
