A series that you love and fear may never be continued.

[Bruin]

A Song of Ice and Fire.

Nothing anybody else says in this thread matters, thusly.

At least until Georgie-boy finishes the series.

Then the world can start turning again.

I think that he is probably about done, just needs to finish a few POVs and Dance will be out by next spring or summer.

That said, I've heard that the books in the middle of series are always the toughest because that's where all the action goes down. All he has to do in The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring is wrap up the story... the gigantic sprawling story... fuck, they're never coming out. Just kidding I have faith in GRRM.

Edit: At least we will have at least one season of it on HBO, and I think once we get that and it becomes the biggest hit since Lost we'll get even more.

Heard through the vine that it would be *looks at calendar*--On the 29th.

Then again, George's broken deadlines before.

A lot.

The Song's too complex not to have more seasons. Too much material to just ignore unless it doesn't get any bites--which it will, considering it's one of the most dramatic reads out there that's encompassed in a badass plot, which could easily translate into an incredible series.

Whilst I know Black Books has pretty much gone to god, I'll live in denial and hope that Dylan Moran and co make a new series

^this also spaced (where sean pegg started) which is pretty much 100% dead, the dresden files, and of course firefly.

a couple i thought were gone were warehouse 13 and the boondocks.

oh and more ghost in the shell: stand alone complex and witchhunter robyn and lain and cowboy bebop.

as for games can't think of any that really deserve/need sequels that haven't got/are getting them aside from penny arcade adventures: on the rain-slick precipice of darkness. wouldn't mind a new need for speed that did what underground 2 did, all the new ones have been samey and boring in comparision or batshit kids crap (nitro). there's enough disappointing sequels in games as it is anyway.

HL2 Episode 3.

Will it turn into vaporware? Is Valve actually going under?

I can't imagine that. With Portal 2 coming out in February and much of the conceptual work done for HL2: Ep. 3, I don't see the collapse of Valve anytime. They've produced some of the most highly acclaimed PC games on the market. I think in a statement Valve said the reason it was taking so long was that they are making vast improvements on the engine, much in the way that Ep. 1 and Ep. 2 had noticeably better environmental effects and increased motion range for the NPCs than the original HL2.

I know, and I love them too, but...

The quiet, nagging doubts...

*shudders*

The Freespace series, Unreal (2,championship and tournament don't count ), longest journey. Those are the 3 franchises I'd love to play a more of.

Also Caprica, I havn't found time to watch the first part of it yet. Don't want it getting cancelled till I know what I'm missing...

Stargate Universe, just because I'm worried.

Speaking as someone who never really got into the other Stargates (although I could see myself casually off-and-on continuing Atlantis beyond episode one), I absolutely loved the new direction for the series.

The drama, the characters, the mystery, everything seemed to come together way better then first seasons usually get too, and I can't wait for season two to start on Tuesday.

However, I know the overwhelming majority of existing fans of the franchise hated to its core and desperately desire being able to watch the entire cast and crew get spaced. And the real tragic part is I haven't seen any of these fans give a reason that doesn't sound like it stems directly from fan-boy hatred of anything that tries to be different then what they've done before (See the same attitude that got Enterprise canceled, something I will never forgive the human race for).

I honestly don't know how well it's doing for itself, and as usual in these situations those that hate are louder then those that don't, but I really hope this one stays around for a while. Or at least they get enough warning to give it a proper ending. The Destiny deserves nothing less.

I don't know, I'm pretty sure the fact that they completely altered the tone and direction of the series should say something. It's Battlestar Galactica with a large ring, not so much Stargate.

I don't know, I actually like the series, but something about your comments seemed awful dickish, dismissing fanboys for not liking something different when it seems the only reason you like it is that it's NOT Stargate.

Enterprise was pretty Godawful, though I'm not a fan of Trek in general, so don't equate me with fanboys who won't try anything "different." It was poorly written. I know there were a lot of complaints about "killing" the franchise or "continuity" or whatever, but honestly, I've never cared that much about continuity unless I don't enjoy a series.

But since this is the direction SyFy wants to take, I'm pretty sure you're safe on that one.

have you got the the freespace 2 open source upgrade project? it kicks an unbelievable amount of ass.

Timeline-191. Its covered up to world war two. We can squeeze 70 more years out of that thing Turtledove!

 

[Taxicab Samurai]

I want to see Xenosaga the way it was supposed to be made.
The trilogy as it stands is amazing, but I want to see it span out the way it was supposed to originally.

And before any retards put up a link to a Xenoblade trailer it's not a sequel, and I feel bad for the writer who had their idea shrunk down and is not constantly reminded of it by the name of that game.

HL2 Episode 3.

Will it turn into vaporware? Is Valve actually going under?

Of course not since Episode 3 has been in development they've developed and released 2 hit games and found time to release a free one... not to mention the TF2 updates...

OTeus Ex, I'm not afraid it will die since Human Revolution is coming out but I'm afraid it will no longer be Deus Ex... you know...

 

[WrcklessIntent]

I want another Alan Wake game. I thought it was fantastic and loved its story and plan on buy the final DLC when it comes out in october but they said that a full fledged sequel is unlikly because of poor sales.

 

[WolfThomas]

Heh Ninja'd by the OP before I could even lampshade the constant Firefly mourning.

 

[DragonChi]

Reboot and Shadow Raiders. Either make a definitive ending to them or give the licenses to someone who will. Don't just hold out on us for decades, Mainframe Entertainment.

I guess you are unaware that ReBoot IS making a comeback. Rainmaker, the team that USED to be called Mainframe Entertainment, is planning 3 feature length films, authentic to the old cartoon with all the proper voice casting. For a LONG time the fanbase was hammering at them to continue the ever loved series and eventually that gave in to it.

Here are a couple links for you to take a look at.

Baccano, it's old, its short, but dear god is it an awesome anime.

Take this as an example of awesomeness, every person I've lent it to had to be coerced to give it back. Like broken thumbs coerced. If any anime deserves to continue this is it.

If you got that from Amazon they don't know, they're just guessing.

No arguments here, I think that if GRRM finishes and they can get most of the stars to stay on, I think it could go for the full seven.

Did you see the new trailers that came out a few weeks ago? I got my new avatar from a screen cap I took of it. It's The Mountain That Rides, and he looks pretty badass.

Red vs Blue

Will they make another season or not?

end this thread now no point to continuing from this post. I hope they do that last episode was amazing!

 

[notsosavagemessiah]

The chrono series (chrono trigger and chrono cross), for a while, it looked like there was going to be a third entry, but now it's all quiet on that front.
