I hope this will send a greater message about Sonic Unleashed deserving a PC Port, so let's see it someday! Because Sonic Unleashed is a phenomenal game, a mix between the Daytime and Nighttime gameplay, which works with the story to make for a strong and fun experience! P.S. You should add consistent screenshots from the HD game, lol. Cuz people will get confused otherwise.

This game is incredible, from daytime to nighttime the levels are just so awesome to play and look at. The fact this game only came out on console is a damn shame. I have spent 1000s of hours modding this game and would spend 1000s more. Not sure why Unleashed Wiis images are sprinkled in here.
We know for a fact that while there has not been an offical PC port there was one in the works. This is one of the most deserving sonic games that has never been on PC, and especially with GOG could use it, as while I have played a little bit of the ps2/wii version there are two whole versions to play and perserve, aside from the more well known PS3/Xbox360 editions. (or we could even mention the Java version)

One of my favorite games, personally. The fact this hasnt been released on Modern Platforms or even on just PC yet is absolutely criminal. Vote today, and maybe that wish can finally come true...

This game never came out for PC, so i don't know why this is here. Focus on voting the already released Sonic games for PC like SONIC R, 3D BLAST, Adventure and even NiGHTS Into Dreams, along JET SET RADIO. Don't bring fake hopes

I have both, the Ps2 and Ps3 version of this game, and I have loved them since I was a teenager. Playing them is such an amazing experience that I just want this game (both versions) to be available for more people!!! This game makes you feel like you're actually traveling the world, getting along with everyone, and appreciating being alive, it's such a beautiful game.

Sonic Unleashed is so great it was the first 3D game with the boost formula which was incredible. The whole game was amazing right from the beginning with the intro cutscenes to the ending there’s so much to enjoy such as the environments, music, characters and gameplay. It’s such a shame that this game has not had an official port/remaster I honestly think it needs one so that many fans who are new to the series or those who have not had the opportunity to play this game as they might not own the consoles to play the game so it would be great if people would have the chance to experience this masterpiece of a game but honestly accessibility to these older games can be really poor as many of them like Unleashed are stuck on the hardware they came out on so hopefully Sega and Sonic Team can start to change things an give people the opportunity to play these games again.

This game (Xbox and PS3 version) was the first showcase of a new gameplay formula, with the first iteration of the ground-breaking Hedgehog Engine 1. Riveting speed gameplay that kept me on my toes, and charming combat and swinging by night. The game is very reactionary, which really puts the player in the shoes of Sonic, it was and still is amazing. This game deserves to be on GOG because to this day, Sonic games take ideas from this title. That's JUST gameplay, there is a beautiful story of friendship, while being a globe-trotting adventure, with places that resemble places in our real world, with amazing music to follow suit. There was also various short films that revolved around Sonic and his companion that were very charming, Night of The Werehog is a short film revolving around this game that became a Halloween classic, and it manages to capture my heart everytime I see it! Sonic Unleashed is a title you can tell the developers were proud of, its a disappointment that it hasnt seen the light of day on modern hardware, especially for looking so beautiful, even with specs of old hardware.
This game is amazing, even if it got criticized on release, many fans and gamers alike have come back to it and its now considered one of the best in its series, but there are also thousands of people who haven't been able to play it and undoubtedly would if it released on PC, games like this have absolutely no business being in the console-only hell they are.
While it’s certainly not my favorite Sonic game, I would be lying if I said it was a mostly fantastic experience. I really hope it gets a remaster soon that irons out my issues w/ it such as the medals and Dark Gaia Phase 1
Those games also need your vote!

Forbidden Siren 2
Forbidden Siren 2Forbidden Siren 2 is the second installment in the Siren series. The game tells the story of several characters who become trapped on Yamijima Island, an island off the coast of mainland Japan. On August 3, 1976, an underwater cable was cut, and all power to the island was lost. During the subsequent blackout, all of the islanders disappeared and the island became deserted. Twenty-nine years later, in 2005, a magazine editor called Mamoru Itsuki is visiting the island to conduct research for an article when the ferry he and a small group of other passengers are on capsizes, after it is hit by a red tidal wave. Shortly after his arrival, a group of soldiers crash land on the island after their helicopter has engine troubles. They must all find ways to survive the island's "monsters", the shibito. The game is played through several character perspectives, each with his or her own strengths and weaknesses, through an overlapping timeline of the fateful night that alternates between the present and the past. The story can unfold in different ways with, in many cases, two or more different versions of a level, which will have slightly different objectives than the original. If the player is thorough and plays through these optional versions, the story and characters may develop even further than before

Siren
SirenThe story revolves around an interconnected cast of characters that possess a power which enables them to see and hear what a nearby character sees. The game was followed by a PlayStation 2 sequel, a reimagining for the PlayStation 3 and a film adaption. Siren is divided into stages, each taking place in one of ten areas in the village of Hanuda, and organized chronologically in a table called the "Link Navigator". In order to complete a stage, the player must accomplish a primary objective that usually involves reaching an exit point, subduing undead enemies called "Shibito", or finding an item. Objectives in different stages are interconnected via a butterfly effect, and a character's actions in one stage can trigger a secondary objective in another stage. There are miscellaneous items scattered throughout each stage that give the player further insight into the plot's background. Once obtained, these items are archived in a catalog and can be viewed at any time during the game's duration. The game's player characters possess a psychic power named "sightjack," which enables them to see and hear what a nearby Shibito or human sees and hears, and thus pinpoint its position, as well as gain knowledge of their activities and of the position of obtainable items. The clarity of each target depends on the distance from the player character. Once a point of view is located, it can be assigned to one of certain buttons of the controller to easily switch between multiple points of view. However, the player character is unable to move during use of the ability and is thus vulnerable to attack. The game encourages the player to avoid Shibito rather than fight them. Characters can walk silently, avoid the use of a flashlight, and crouch behind objects to elude detection. Certain mission objectives require the player character to use items and/or the environment to distract Shibito from their activity, in order for them to achieve a goal. Others require the player to escort a non-player character. Player characters can also shout at any time in order to get the attention of nearby Shibito. Within most stages, the player character can hide in certain places such as cupboards and lock doors to prevent Shibito from entering. When a Shibito hears a sound made by the player character, it will search in the direction from which they heard the sound. If a character is seen by a Shibito, the latter will pursue the character to kill them either with a melee or ranged weapon or by strangulation. The Shibito will also shout to alert other nearby Shibito. Once the character has remained out of the Shibito's sight for a period of time, the Shibito will give up and resume its usual habits. Weapons are available for the player throughout the game, ranging from melee weapons to firearms. While Shibito can be knocked out in combat, they cannot be killed and will reanimate after a short period of time. If a character is injured, they can recover after some time has passed. Characters will lose stamina during combat and while running.

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.
