Bring to Steam the original Digimon World Trilogy

[Ferzh]

Please, Bandai, I need to have Digimon World 1, 2 and 3 on my account and life again. Port them to PC and make your old fans happy

Umm just remembered this:

It does sound like he was talking about the original Digimon World games being remastered if the demand is high enough. Also sounds like there was talks of remakes too.

It only sounds like that if you don't speak corporate. His answer is quite clear that they don't consider it viable right now ("I would like to consider" means it's not currently considered) since they lack the resources and the belief in the necessary demand ("if fans are interested" means they haven't been convinced that they are).

I have to disagree with the idea that emulation makes ports unnecessary, though. The most obvious advantage is the lower bar of entry to play the game legally. But a PC port also allows for some better modding capabilities and community support in general.

Assuming we're talking about a decent port, no the already existing PC Port for Digimon World.


And I stand by the open source thing. Bandai should just give us the source code. Alternatively they could also hire the community directly, fine with me as well. ;)

Umm I get it but like I said "if" and that's generally something a dev like myself might think when assessing a game. Doesn't guarantee anything really but it more or less shows there open to the idea.

Umm didn't say that emulation makes it unnecessary. I'm all for them to port it to as many platforms as possible. I'm mostly tired of waiting on devs that basically turn games into 'abandonware' due to lack of any care for their older games.

Sure modding might be easier with a native port and I have no problem with that and I'm sure it'll probably could be implemented better with 'workshop'.

I was not aware of a PC port of the original Digimon World.

The emulation remark wasn't directed at you, should've made that more clear.

There is a Korean PC port of which we don't even know if it was properly licensed. It most certainly isn't a good port, though. :(

I dream of a remake of the first, exactly the same game but with current graphics, I didn't like the rpg vibe of the third one(never did the 2), I find that the combat system of the first makes the digimon much more "alive" even if it was very frustrating sometimes lol

Hot Take: trying to make a trilogy out of 3 games that have no connection or similarities besides the brand name is not helping.

Bundling the games together costs more money, but it barely adds to the value proposition since people who liked one are fairly likely to not like the others so much.

They should just make it open source and the community can do the rest.

hey syd didnt expect to see you here xd. This is actually true bur id still like a remaster or port at least for the first dw .

[Syd Montague]

I mean, I'd be hyped as ♥♥♥♥ if they announce a remake/port. I just don't want to get my hopes up for them to be disappointed. :P

[Jura Lith]

i remember playing digimon world back in the day as a young kid did not know what i was doing, was way to young, but im hyped for this game.

but I do hope that digimon world 3 and the other original 2 come to steam as well, id love to be able to buy them and play them on steam, i own digimon world 3 still to this day on ps1

I would love the Digimon World 2 game on PC to be honest. It's one of my favorites.

I finished it all at 100% in 2020 but if they introduced them to Steam I would replay the three games again for sure.
Just hope they add a speed function for fights because that's the only thing that ruins the game for me

[Teratus]

I'll settle for just the first world game.

The sequel 2 games never felt anywhere near as good.
But that first game was superb, would love to see it on Steam, ideally updated to what current mods have managed to do to the game.
