Games That Desperately Need Sequels

[ZenMonkey47]

I know it seems weird as the game only came out a week ago, but i would like to see some sort of sequel to Force Unleashed.

If Lucasart's read the reviews of the game and realised it wasn't perfect, they could improve on them in a potential sequel and give us a better game. The engine of TFU was amazing and it would be a shame if they just let it go to waste.

I hear ya, man. Though I'm somewhat worried that it might end up like KoTOR and KoTOR II. The second improved the gameplay of the first at the cost of the story. Having your cake and eating it too? That's just crazy talk

Would love to see a story driven RPG with the epic scope of BG2

 

[Shadow-Knight]

Psychonauts

Agreed.

 

[SecretTacoNinja]

Crackdown!
Sure it had a crap story and I got that buggering glitch where it deleted my progress, but it was FUN, REALLY FUN!
I loved my character with the face paint and the face piercings, I called him Tonga.

Oh and TLoZ: The Wind Waker
I'd like to see it, except with bigger islands and a grown-up Toon Link.

No I don't count Phantom Hourglass as a sequel.

And here I was thinking I was the only one! On both counts. Mischief makers was the last 2D platformer that i really really enjoyed, and had some great ideas in it that could bring the genre forward (if anyone would like to recommend further 2D platformers I'm all ears).

The GBA and DS Castlevanias are the only recent 2D platformers I have respect for anymore. As much as I hate the soul drop mechanic (not that I mind stealing powers from enemies, but how about making it more interesting than "kill enemy x 100,000 times"?), the games are still solid platformers and the annoying bits can be ignored if you don't care about full completion. The mario-based games (new Yoshi's Island, Super Princess Peach) are ok, but they have nothing on the old-school versions. At least Castlevania is actually an improvement over its early days of slowly tough-walking your way through the world.

I'd put Metroid up there as well but it looks like they've given up on 2D games, which is a crying shame since the Prime games are just barely passable as a good series, while the 2D ones are among the best platformers in existence.

No one to my knowledge has ever done anything interesting with grabs in the way Mischief Makers did, nor has there been a 2D game that much fun to move around in since the SNES Megaman X games. If someone made a combination of Mischief Makers, Megaman X, and Smash Bros I'd probably piss myself, but it looks like I'll just have to make it myself.

5. Alien Vs. Predator 2 (the FPS not the terrible movie)

Oh yes, I need more clambering on walls preying on the poor sap beneath me. I've had to rely on hidden source for my kicks.

AVP 2 was the definition of epic. Must've replayed that several times, and the multiplayer was pretty good.

OH VIDEO GAME GODS, HERE MY PLEA! Make AVP3, and give it no association to the two atrocious movies!

Tombi 1 and 2!
You might of heard of this one
A "Whoopee Camp" 2D (3D in the sequel) ps1 game involving a small weirdo kid with pink hair and a variety of nasty looking weapons which he stored by eating them (whoever thought of that deserves a medal) and then smacking evil pigs around the head with said implements, jumping on their backs, biting their sorry asses and throwing them into other pigs.
All because they took your bling
Utter genius
And ultra fast gameplay
Company went bust though
It needs to be brought back, maybe like as a full 3D game would need to be made perfect though for it to work well, but use better voice acting, and maybe have more full scale fights like kingdom hearts.

But to digress from my ancestral fanaticisms
Would love to see another star wars battlefront, i know they're making a LOTR one but star wars was still really good.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines

Greatest RPG ever. Bar none. We need a sequel. Do you hear me Troika? You sons-of-bitchs gave us Arcanum, Temple, and Bloodlines, and then you leave? No-fucking-way. Get your ass back together and make our sequels.

Not the best RPG in my opinion, but totally agree with the rest! Love the White Wolf lore with Vampire. seeing as my main RP character was a Lasombra, they really need to introduce Sabbat or even specific antitribu bloodlines.

Warcraft 4 .. I need that in my life

God of War 4. Yes God of War 3 isn't out yet(or for the near future) but I figure if they get planning now, I won't have to wait too long after God of War 3 .. which will be amazing, and saying or believing anything negative is sacrelige !

Bahamut Lagoon. Never had this long enough to finish it, but had hours of joy raising and feeding dragons, as well as the great gameplay. A next gen version would be off the hook if it could get some decent development and initial attention.

 

[Decemius]

The main ones that comes to mind is Shadow of the Colossus, Crackdown, and Eternal Darkness. Also, a new Dark Cloud game would be appreciated, but I doubt it will happen.

 

[Zombie_King]

Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. It got ported to XBL, but that doesn't make it any better.

*and*

Mercenaries, but Mercs 2 filled the need...somewhat.

 

[TsunamiWombat]

Metal Arms was awesome on a stick.

Okami. Needs sequaling.

 

[Beowulf DW]

Golden Sun. I'm losing it here, damn it! Let me kick Alex's scrawny white ass while I'm still a young man!

A spiritual successor to Force Unleashed. Set it after the events of Episode VI, make the main character Luke Skywalker's student, include a better targeting system for some of the force powers. Leave everything else.

 

[the protaginist]

agreed.

 

[The Anti Noob]

psychonauts ftw

 

[Anoos]

XIII

Not only was it a great game but it ended on a cliffhanger.

I'm coming for you Wally Sheridan!

(And I'm not buying the comic just to find out)

Damn right! that game was so much fun, i would have sex with that sequel

 

[Grubnar]

This is easy. Freespace. Best space sim ever. The story realy wasn't over with Freespace 2. I also would enjoy a Baldur's gate sequel or a Planescape: Torment sequel.

OMG! It is like someone read my mind and posted my thoughts on the internet. Scary!

Why are there no more good space flight sims? A new Freespace game would be most welcome. Hell if LucasArts would get off their ass and make a propper X wing vs. TIE fighter game I would buy that instantly. The orginal TIE fighter game was the best space sim ever! A good game that made you play as the bad guys, oh yes, it IS good to be bad.

And I still think that Planescape: Torment is the best RPG made to date. It has the kind of depth and story that is not found in other RPGs today. You dont select a character type and paly the game. No, you play the game and your character is shaped by your actions. Only the legendary Fallout was like that (I am one of the nay-sayers that fear that fallout 3 is gonna suck!).

 

[Stardude82]

Sequels that need to come sooner:
Wasteland II
Fallout 3 (no high hopes for)
Fallout MMPOG
Deus Ex 3
Sam and Max Season 3

Might actually happen:
Kotor III
X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter 2
Psychonauts 2

Never going to happen:
Monkey Island 5
Loom 2
Grim Fandango 2
Wing Commander Privateer 2 (Stupid Privateer 2 and Freelancer)
Mechwarrior 5 (or Mercenaries 2)

I feel old.

God of War 4. Yes God of War 3 isn't out yet(or for the near future) but I figure if they get planning now, I won't have to wait too long after God of War 3 .. which will be amazing, and saying or believing anything negative is sacrelige !

Not likely. They've said it before - God Of War III explains why there are no more Greek Myths. So either he moves on to Norse Mythology (which would be kick ass if you think about it) or the series ends.

Or Kratos trancends time, and we have a messed up future world, with Kratoas swinging from skyscrapers and tearing apart legions of space marines. That or Nazi's

I wonder why I'm never called pessimistic

I agree that norse mythology would be kick ass. Kratos vs Odin. The series may just end up as Kratos getting rid of all mythologies one by one..awesome!

The Original Final Fantasy Tactics.
Because FFTA is crap. The judgment system sucks imo.

It was way too arbitrary. Wasn't it random each battle? If they had set rules for set areas that'd be okay (well, better anyway) but randomising it was just stupid. The Jagd missions were the best. Sure your guys could die, but at least you didn't have to worry about the crazy judge. I think VGcats expressed it best [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=112].

It was anything but random. It changes on a daily basis in a set cycle that's very easy to see. The actual list of laws at any one time changes to another, preset list of laws every time you finish a plot-related mission. With a little savvy you could easily exploit the laws to your advantage (such as fighting Ultima on a day that Charm was banned).

Resident evil hahahaha.

Now for sereous:

Assassins creed.

WARHAWK!!!!

And we need a Half Life 3 NON-EPISODE style.
