Gaming Companies Stop Sitting on GREAT Licenses!

Shogo 2 would be epic, as said by OP.

Gotta go with Future Cop L.A.P.D. Goddamn that game was fun, why is EA still sitting there picking it's nose when they could be hard at work making Future Cop 2?

For anyone who really likes a good old power-fantasy/mech shooter, give the original Future Cop a go on PSN.

I'd love another Mother game. It'd be great in Dragon Quest VIII style cartoon and battle system.

Gun was a really good game. I would love to see a sequel to that.

Front Mission hell yeah.. with today's modern graphical capabilities?! I just got shivers. And maybe even a story worth a ding dong damn!

As for IP's that don't need sequels, Front Mission makes me long for a true Robotech RPG. I think an RPG would work much better than just some sort of sim/shooter. Although maybe they could figure out a way to make it work better. I just like the idea of a strong story and characters without Ace Combat's reliance upon a mission structure of various shooting galleries.

Erm, a Modern Front Mission did come out, and it was shit [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Mission_Evolved], which really shows how this puts alot of pressure on dev's when you constantly bark at them for a sequel, they make one to get you to shut up but then you scream louder as it isn't very good, then the IP is in jeopardy. This can be applied to Duke Nukem Forever for example, people just kept asking for it denying that it will be bad until it came out and flat out insulted everyone.

I was initially going to stay out of this thread because I found the topic a little silly, but then I remembered Jet Set Radio existed. If I can do anything in my power to get a new Jet Set Radio into the universe, then I am going to do it.

And to everyone who claims they want to see another Chrono game: the reason why Square Enix have been sucking recently has nothing to do with Final Fantasy being Final Fantasy. Think of everything allegedly wrong with Final Fantasies XII and XIII (never played them and likely never will at this point). Do you really want to see a Chrono sequel now, knowing who would be making it?
PS: I just looked at what the studio behind JSR is doing now. Rest in peace.

Too many companies are sitting on IP's that would make GREAT games and help break up this monotony of endless sequels that's starting to wear thin on me to the point that I'm losing interest in gaming.



Shogo 2 Oni 2. Siphon Filter franchise revival of brave fencer musashi. Psychonauts 2 Grim Fandango 2 as well. Secret of Evermore 2, Illusion of Gaia 2, and Newer updates to the Lufia series.

Sorry, I may misunderstand, and if I do, then I apologize, but your ideas to end sequels... are more sequels?

and it's not really true with that "endless sequels" and "monotony". We've got Mass Effect 3, which Bioware has confirmed and been working toward since the first game. We've got Planetside 2 coming out, which is in no way a sequel. Skyrim is part of the Elder Scrolls, but like any other, it's not really a sequel so much another story in the universe. Reach was not a sequel, and merely expanded an area of the universe that provided some confusion to fans. Battlefield 3 is a completely stand-alone story, just like EVERY Battlefield game besides Bad Company.

I'll give you Modern Warfare 3 and Arkham City, those are actual sequels, but Modern Warfare had an interesting campaign, which made it harder for me to hate it (until I tried the online), and, from what I understand, Batman was a fun game, even if it didn't expand the gameplay that much.

Again, if I misunderstood you, I'm sorry, but I still stand by my second paragraph completely.

I don't know who owns it now, but Shadowrun is too good a property to be dormant for as long as it has been (that...thing that came out in 2007 doesn't count. At all). It's a great RPG setting, and something I've thought for a long time would make for a great BioWare game. The 1993 SNES Shadowrun is still one of my favorite games.

 

[AhumbleKnight]

Vampire the Masquade: Bloodlines
That game was awesome. The universe is awesome. I would give up at least three organs(or 6 units of blood!) for another.

 

[ckam]

Games with Miku Hatsune. That would be great... Or are great.

 

[Rabish Bini]

Knights of the Old Republic III

I don't want no blasted MMO, I want a proper sequel damnit!

 

[Jelly ^.^]

Sub Culture, barely anyone remembers it, and it's Voodoo graphics won't run on any modern system, but it had one of the most unique and memorable Freelancer style game experiences.

There was a way to get it to work on machines up to Windows XP, but I can't find them written up on the web anymore.

Also, I'd like to know who's sitting on the rights to a Gena the Crocodile game

If they could make a new Uplink, or maybe CyberJudas/Shadow President that would be awesomeness too.

I miss the day when it was standard to make a game that stood out from the rest. But as much as I miss these games, I would not want the "Hollywood" attitude of today's game industry to fuck up these old franchises with their "streamlining" and "modernization."

RIP Franchises that got me hooked on gaming to begin with...

Homeworld -- True 3D real time strategy in a awesome SciFi setting. Dead for the foreseeable future.

Poplulous/Black and White -- God games will probably never come back(WTF Peter Moleneux).

Sim City -- It's not The Sims. Therefor, Maxis will not acknowledge its existence.

Half Life -- We will only see the finale of the story if Valve gets desperate for cash down the road(Not likely). :'(

TBH I admit that I am a little more biased towards strategy games. I never really got into shooters(FPS or otherwise) and RPG's that much(not because I think they are inferior, they just aren't usually my cup of tea).

It is sad because innovation, entertainment, and most importantly FUN are no longer the main reasons for developing games. It is all about home much money you can milk from your fanbase. Hell publishers even actively discourage creating a "classic" anymore because they want to sell a sequel every year.


You may not recognize it friends, but the idea of "gaming" that most of us fell in love with, is being picked apart by uncaring vultures who could care less about the quality their final product because their high score is the number of dollar bills they see in their bank account. Not because they love the work that they do, not because they want to entertain people, not because they want to push the boundaries of what games are capable of doing, and certainly not because they themselves love games.

In a nutshell...

Most publishers these days are a bunch of dicks.

Note to Valve: Listen, your treatment of the HL series is irritating but you have not yet become an evil empire(yet). Please refrain from doing so or I may just give up on games altogether.

 

[InsipidMadness]

In before FF7 remake.

But really, need more square-enix.
Capcom as well. I miss Onimusha.
Yahtzee's game.
Also, I'd love to see them make the 1997 Blame! into a game.

 

[Aethren]

Dungeon Keeper needs a reboot, the Dungeon Overlord game on Facebook just doesn't cut it. And don't even get me started on Dungeons.

 

[Scars Unseen]

Heavy Gear
Zone of Enders
FreeSpace
Xenogears
Elemental Gearbolt
Battle Clash / Metal Combat
KOTOR (no, SWTOR doesn't count)
Jade Empire
CronoTrigger

 

[WorldofHarvis]

Star Wars: Republic commando 2 or Imperial Commando
Star Wars: Battflefront 3
Viewtiful Joe 3

I know Capcom would love another franchise they can murder with excessive amounts of dlc and Viewtiful Joe 1 was on of the best games ever so make it happen.

As for Lucasarts, you guys love milking the Star Wars franchise so start making these game because not only were they good Star Wars games they were just really good games!

Capcom made a game for the gamecube forever ago that fell under every radar imaginable.

its called gotcha force. picture SSBM + custom robo + pokemon + megaman and thats what this game felt like. aside from laughable dialogue and a story thats non-existant ingame but is out of game. the whole thing was amazing. difficult battles, allies that leveled the more you worked with them, fighters that leveled and evolved to new forms based on which weapons they used the most... and NO ONE HEARD OF IT.

also chibi robo that game was a treat and a half, i loved it. and jet force gemini, i mean hell i'd be fine with an HD re-release.
and the only thing i have against the perfect dark re-release was that they fucked the character models horribly.

 

[pilouuuu]

Sequels to Ultima, Wing Commander, Black & White, Star Trek 25th Anniversary, Jedi Knight, X-Wing, Day of the Tentacle, No One Lives Forever and a new Sim City.

 

[Riddle78]

EA? I KNOW you ate Bullfrog. Let Peter make Dungeon Keeper 3. And make sure it doesn't suck like DK2 did.
