Gungho America asks about porting classic games to PC (Lunar, Grandia, etc.)

For the love of fuck, Grandia 1 and 3 PC ports, please. Please.

And possibly a definitive update to the Grandia 2 PC build to fix all the issues? But hey, at least that one exists.

I was so mad Grandia 3 never came out in Europe. Eventually imported it when I was on holiday in the States and had a fuckin good time with it. Grandia 1 is a classic, obviously, a PC port would preserve it for good at least...
 
Their genre list has a rather detailed split of RPG sub-genres, but my favourite one (isometric party-based RTwP) doesn't really fit in any of them :P

Anyway, I'd buy all Lunar or Grandia PC ports if they were decent.

Please make sure the games are fully functional on release. Whether you have to do a closed or open beta to make it possible.
I prefer to have a delayed over a game with hiccups and cut features relegated to post-release support.

Features for PC games are important. Please check this link.

Nice to see that article still serving its intended purpose!
 
Put Lunar Eternal Blue as my choice but I'd be happy with both Lunar and Grandia. I've only played Grandia on PS2 so it would be nice to play a version that ran better.
 
Game Arts made Dokuro?!

Well shit maybe I should try it out.

I played a demo for one of the Lunar PSP games once after I found it out was from the Grandia people, but didn't have enough time to pursue the whole game.
 
Holy crap, Project Sylpheed is in there. For some reason I thought that was published by Square Enix. Yeah, that'd be great, it's one of two games I want for the 360 and I just can't justify it.

It was published by Square Enix in Japan.
 
Gungriffon was my vote. I'd buy a port of any of the games in that series to Steam. I'd also re-buy Alisia Dragoon if it were well-emulated, it's such a great game. I'm not sure that a Genesis game would be a big seller, though, compared to other options.

I'm guessing they'd see the best sales from their JRPGs. I'm not a big fan of traditional JRPGs but even I'd have to consider ports of the Grandia games.

Promising survey.

I also didn't know Game Arts was behind Dokuro. The game's visual style was a bit offputting so I never really looked into it.
 
I would do terrible things to see the Grandia or Lunar games on Steam/GOG. Assuming the ports are well done and not some shoddy POS or has terrible DRM slapped on.
 
Grandia 1 is in my top three games ever, but voted tactically for Grandia XTREME. That said I'd buy just about any Grandia/Lunar game on Steam without hesitation.
 
I know it's for PC ports.. but I would gladly take a port of Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete for the New 3DS.

But eh. I went with Grandia for PC Ports. Because.
 
Took the survey.

If that leads to PC ports which subsequently leads to revived properties, I will be fuckin ecstatic. A Grandia 4 would shoot up to one of my most anticipated games instantly.
 
I answered yes to a bunch of additional stuff and no changes which probably seems confusing. What I meant is that that that stuff should be optional and it should be possible to get the original experience. I like extra stuff I just don't want it to eat the original.

Oh wow, I totally missed that. It's one of 6 or so 360 games I own. Neat.
 
Fuck Lunar SS and EB are like some of my alltime favorites and made owning the Sega CD as a kid awesome. I have the ps1 ports too, I will easily triple dip, throw in Grandia series. I will buy them all, they wont even touch my backlog. Take my money Game Arts & Gungho, take it all!
 
I chose Grandia III. It never got a release here in Europe. Story might be bad but I loved the battle systems of GI and GII.
 
I'm afraid I don't have a computer save for an ancient laptop that probably couldn't run any of these (no, seriously) but the chance to try out good versions of Grandia and Lunar in style is enough to make me want to shell out some cash at some point to own something that isn't a complete toaster. Taking the survey, merrily.
 
Grandia 1 for the PC, yes please. Played it through multiple times when I was younger, and it still ranks as one of my favourite games. The feeling of discovery is amazing throughout the whole of the game, so good.

Some of these are 5th gen games and would run on computers from ~2002 even when running via high level emulation.

Depending on what you mean by ancient the sprite-based PSP games may be doable as well.

Unless by ancient you mean ancient and fried of course. I've had Laptops from 2004 that ended their life unable to play Total Annihilation.

The 6th gen stuff probably ain't going to work well though.
 
I voted Grandia but I wouldn't mind games like Lunar or even Ragnarok Odyssey. A modern game could do well.
Grandia II should be their frist project. Just fix the PC port a little bit.
 
I've only played Grandia 2 years ago on PS2.
I really don't know anything about these games they list. Most of them if not all seem to be capable of running on a PC using a console emulator. It's always nice to have them in your Steam library though.

True, except Ragnarok Oddyssey and Gungriffon on Xbox.
 
I played all grandia games. Never got far in grandia 1. I beat 2 and extreme and got to the final boss on 3 but couldnt go beyond that.
 
I've never even heard of this Dokuro game until now, whereas I've at least heard of all of their old RPG games, even if I haven't personally played them.

Looks like a puzzle-platformer, which is not my cup of tea, genre-wise. I tend to try them and put them down fairly quickly because I'll see the solution and get frustrated when I can't execute properly.

Great choice. G3 combat is imo the best in the series (including Xtreme). And compared to Star Ocean 4 or Infinite Undiscovery, the story is not even that bad. It's also really nice looking for a PS2 game. Love the world map and the intro too. Really, really cool game overall.
 
I would love to see PC ports of all those games. Especially Lunar and Grandia.
But I think they should release all those games on other digital stores, like PSN, XBL, Eshop. Let everyone get a chance to play these games.
 
Just imagine this in full HD, at 60 fps and with some cleaned up textures. DROOL

I would be thrilled to see some of these make their way to PC. I never got the chance to play the vast majority of them. It's great to see DRM and GOG as options in the survey. Of course, the games are bound to go to Steam if they're released, but I really hope we get a DRM-free option on GOG as well.

I hope you give it a chance!
 
As much as I love the original Lunar, I'd love to see Grandia get some much do love. The original PlayStation port just wasn't up to par with the Saturn iteration.

Also, I think I already own Lunar on enough platforms for one lifetime.

Aww, there's no such thing as having enough Lunar in your life!

Yep, but its time for more Eternal Blue, also never understood why Silver Star had a lot of ports and EB just one for ps1/sat. Other thing is that they never updated the Taben Peak place after SSS changed
the grindery
on the map.

I guess the original japanese VAs for SS are more cheap and easier to hire than the EB ones (like Lemina Ausa being dubbed by Megumi Hayashibara :p), or perhaps there is some copyright problems with the game we dont know (like what happened with the original OST of Lunar Silver Star SCD).
