Games that should have sequels or successors...

[Pyroguekenesis]

These are games that which you think, should/would/need/might/really/better have sequels or spiritual successors...

Feel free, to add in games you think should never have had predecessors...

Feel free to add in your own views on sequels too!

To quoth Ben "Yahtzee" Crowshaw (was it him?) - who said that games should never have had sequels and that every new game should be innovative and creative. If that were to happen, then many masterpieces of games would not exist - as he said about Shadow of the Colossus, it defies genre, theres nothing else like it and it's just that damn, damn, good, damn etc...

So there ye go.
Have fun!

Kirby's Air Ride.

Seriously, iv spent HOURS at a time just messing around in City Trial Free Ride.
Its Fun, pure fun.

Imagine Air ride on the Wii with full Wifi for Air Ride, Top Ride, and City Trial.

It would be AWESOME.

Chromehounds.

Best mechgame I've ever played. It's just sad that it was quite unpollished. And the WORST part is that they've shut down the server....

Call of Duty.

Oh, wait...

Seriously, I'm hoping for a KOTOR 3 (not TOR), Shadow Complex 2, ODST 2 (I actually loved the narrative of the first, even if it was short), an actual 2D Metroid sequel, and a new Burnout (I don't like how this franchise has completely disappeared).

 

[Blizzarded Soul]

Primal should have a sequel. It was kick-ass PS2 game, spent many an enjoyable hour exploring and then killing demons with my spectral energy vambraces. Good times.

Star Wars: Republic Commando

Probably the best star wars game to come out in some time. They set it up for a possible sequel but have obviously forgotten about it =(

Oh yes, I forgot about this in my post. Wonderful game.

A different interpretation of games is just as good as a sequel. The reboot version of the first silent hill was good because it changed things without having to stay true to the original completely.

Although i would like to see a much more refined dragon valor, or resident evil 4 sequel that didn't suck.

 

[LawlessSquirrel]

There are many that I could choose (Psychonauts? Conker's Bad Fur Day? Another Otogi? Anything by Bullfrog?), but can I get a different sequel to Condemned instead? That series had a lot of good potential, but it all went down the drain because of the late half of Condemned 2. It's not just that one game good game was ruined, but the future of the series most likely is too.

So I guess that's my answer: Condemned.

Games can have ret-cons too, right? I think it would be justifiable.

...or maybe Arcanum, since I lost my disk and never finished it.

 

[Allen Shatzer]

Legend of Dragoon need a sequel so does Metal Arms: a Glitch in the system.

 

[John the Gamer]

Tank Racer. I can never seem to win... (it can be downloaded for free, It's pretty old)
Also: Hegemonia: Legions of Iron. It could use some improvements.

This is 25% searchbar, 75% these are the games I'd like continued.

 

[Sephychu]

More Freespace? That would please me.

Also, Legacy of Fucking Kain. That's what they'd have to call it. I want it so damned bad. It isn't a cliffhanger if you never continue it!

Also, Oddworld. But that's looking possible at the moment, so I won't jinx it.

 

[New Vegas Samurai]

Shadow of Rome, barring that, then the final in the chrono series
seriously, I was really looking forward to the final game following chrono cross

 

[ace_of_something]

ARCANUM: of steamworks and magick obscura

Goddamnit. Why!? Why won't they make more of that game. I'd love to see it given the fallout treatment (considering the original used the same engine as the first two fallout games)

 

[tomtom94]

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde II: Revenge of Hyde Yes I am aware that wouldn't work...

In all seriousness, a proper sequel to Lego Racers wouldn't go amiss instead of the rubbish one we got developed by a completely different company in a completely different style...

 

[Cheesepower5]

Full 3D, modern Terranigma action-RPG.

Except the studio that made the original is dead. D:

 

[Leviathan_]

We need another Rome: Total War game.



Though Shogun 2 seems like a lot of fun too.

 

[random_bars]

Brutal Legend. That game was just such an awesome take on the RTS genre, and I'd love to see something like it. Preferably not a direct sequel, though, but something with the same kind of mechanics, like Sacrifice before it but in another new setting.
