Games that NEED a Sequel

[iebilish]

Jak X is what i'm going for. The odd love child of Jak and Daxter and racing games, and it worked. Was funny and just as funny as the main games. Jak X 2 would rock.

No games need sequels. Sorry, but that's my opinion. Unless they set out with a full story in mind and decided from day one, or at least during the development of the first game, there is no reason to drag things out. Mass Effect deserves sequels, because they were planned. Bioshock did not deserve a sequel, because they were just grabbing for cash.

I know, this mindset means that technically Portal 2 shouldn't exist, and Portal 2 was great, but I still think that no games *need* sequels unless they were planned from the beginning.

I could not agree more, although there is one flaw that comes to mind with that, and it's name is 'Too Human'. They had planned for a trilogy and set the ending up for it and it was quite a terrible game.

Marc Ecko's Getting Up and Persona 4.

Psychonauts.
I would buy Psychonauts 2 the day it came out.

 

[Brutal Peanut]

Psssssssssssychonauts!

Edit: Yeah, see. What the guy above me said! =D

I'd like to see a sequel to Arcanum, personally, but not a direct plot sequel, more a game set in the same general universe.

The Battlefront series. Everyone loves them. The first two were best sellers. It's only had crappy handheld versions for the past half a decade.

Anyone remember GUN? Western game that is always compared to or mistaken for Red Dead Revolver? That game kicked ass and needs a sequel. It'll have it's work cut out for it though since Red Dead Redemption set the bar into the stratosphere but I think it can be done. Also Borderlands and Alpha Protocol.

Dark Void. I got it the other day cos it was cheap and I needed something else to get a 4 games deal thing. It had a good idea but the story telling could have done with a lot more work and the acting too but the mechanics of the game where really good.

Conker's bad Fur Day.... seriously Rare had already finished half of it, but the Microsoft evil bastard told them to stop.

 

[alimarin]

Freespace 2...

I would really like to se a sequel to mirrors edge!

EA announced that they were cancelling the sequel already in development, because the first game didn't get enough money to risk a sequel. The decided to turn the entire studion towards BF3.

They announced afterward that they didn't actually cancel it.

Ah, good, someone else covered it for me. Also, your avatar? Amazing.

Now, as for my list:

Alan Wake
Mirror's Edge
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Maybe Red Dead Redemption, about what his son did (maybe he goes to war?)
Metroid Prime 3, so they can deliver on their secret ending cliffhanger
Halo 3 (and ODST so we can see what happens to that team)
Halo Wars (I want to know what happened to the Spirit of Fire)

Any other games I feel deserve sequels are definitely getting them, so there we go.

I think Redemption needs a Prequel. I wanna know how John was in his gang. Or maybe a DLC on what Jack did from 1911 to 1914.

Agreed. They were great.

 

[Tompalompa]

Half life 2 episode 2

 

[Switchbox]

I'd LOVE to see a second Chromehounds. It was definitely my favorite early 360 game and it was a shame the multiplayer got shut down since that was the only good part about it.

 

[captaincabbage]

I'll say what I always say; War of the Monsters!! It needs a PSN/XBLA sequel so much, especially since it's pretty much the perfect group game.

 

[Randomeaninglessword]

Amnesia: The Dark Descent. At least just another game set in the same world.

 

[ethermite]

Half life 2 episode 2

Indeed, maybe we'll see it now they finished with Portal 2.

Also Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

 

[Typhon1388]

Colony Wars: Red Sun

Sony needs to let Studio Liverpool make something other than Wipeout sequels or expansions.
