If the DS can do this:

Metroid Prime Hunters

...than I bet it can do these:

1. Half Life

2. Halo: Combat Evolved

3.Goldeneye64

4. Perfect Dark

5. No One Lives Forever

6. Deus Ex

7. Call of Duty

8. Quake

9. Return to Caslte Wolfenstein

10. Medal of Honor Allied Assault

11. Unreal Tournament

12. Time Splitters 2

13. Aliens versus Predator

14. System Shock 2

15. Red Faction

I'm sure there's a lot more that I didn't list, but just wondering what everyone else thinks? I know that these games will never be ported to the DS, but just wanted to see if anyone else agrees that the DS could probably handle these titles.

It'd be kind of cool to see these games on the DS. I think the touch screen works perfectly as Metroid Prime Hunters proves. But my topic is about which clas-sic FPSs would work great on the DS if ported over? These are the ones I could think of that can work well. I think graphically, the DS can pull it off and the games still hold up today so I think as a selling point, it wouldn't feel dated too much.

Even though the DS isn't powerful enough for most of these games, and they would never be ported over even if it were, I think it would be great to see GoldenEye and Halo on the DS. I couldn't even come up with all the possibilities.

That picture is from Red Faction 2, as the NICW was not in Red Faction. The DS could probably do Unreal Tournament, but not Halo. Goldeneye probably would not be fun anymore, as much as I hate to admit it, and I really do hate to admit it. Quake Arena is rumored to be on DS soon; it's already out in some gaming circles *ahem*. Perfect Dark would be awesome. I dunno about System Shock or Half-Life. Both of those should stay on the PC; it's sacrilege otherwise....

the DS isnt capable for most of those games. the thing is, those games would have to be tuned down a bit to be on DS. They are cool ideas, just not really good ones. it would be cool to have those on DS, but the DSis to touchy to support FPSs.but I would like to see halo and quake on DS.

You guys should watch the videos for the cancelled Halo DS on Matt Cassamassina's blog at IGN then if you want Halo. Maybe after the Bungie/M$ split we'll get to see it truly happen. I sure as hell hope so.

a lot of people have been waiting for that great FPS on the DS since the DS was announced. with a lot of these games though, they don't hold up to well to more modern FPS games. have you played goldeneye lately? they would have to completely re-do the AI, not to mention some minor level design flaws, but that is the essence of the game.

15 times no i don't play FPS on my handheld it'd be weird with the little screen and being hunched over it and stuff. Save it for lounging on the couch with a Xbox controller or Wiimote or something, once they make some more wii shooters of course.

Half life was already ported for the xbox. But I would go definitely buy half life, goldeneye or perfect dark.
