Sequels to games that deserve them.

[Oly J]

Shenmue 2 needs a Shenmue 3. Oh cruel world.

exactly what I was going to say, and exactly what I DO say every time a question like this comes up without fail, it is a TRAVESTY that Shenmue was never finished,

Yeah and they could even release it with an HD version of 1 and 2. So people new to the game could understand what the hell was going on.
Or, if they're scared that it wouldn't sell well, they could release the HD version of the first Shenmue, to see how the public reacted to the game and then later on launch Shenmue 2 HD as well. And then if they saw that it went well, 3 would finally be made.

They say there's not enough demand or whatever....well maybe fans got tired of asking for it because no one would step up to make the bloody thing. That doesn't mean we won't jump at Shenmue 3 like hungry, wallet throwing wolves.

I heard that not only did they plan HD re-releases of 1 and 2, but they've been completed for about 2 years, I looked it up and that seemed the general rumour, but they haven't seen fit to release them....WHY!!!? THEY'RE ALREADY FINISHED!

to be fair Shenmue's bad sales I think were the result of poor sales of the Dreamcast, (by the way, just last week I fired up my old Dreamcast and played through Shenmue 1 again) and also that the re-release of Shenmue 2 was xbox exclusive, there's no reason that couldn't be released on the PS2 or the Gamecube, is it any wonder it didn't sell as well as it could?

Shenmue II was released too early in the systems life, It woulda done so much better if it was released in 04 - 05

I have no idea of why they wouldn't release them. I haven't bought a game in ages...I'd totally buy those re-releases right now. All they need is some publicity to get the word out and a lot of people would eventually check them out.

Arkaijn said what I was thinking. Shenmue was a series way ahead of its time. And that's another reason I think they'd sell well now. Shenmue just feels different from other games. Feels solid. Not sure what solid means but there you have it. It was fun to play. I dunno. Something about it just pulls you in.

Skies of Arcadia definitely needs a sequel.

Not in direct storyline, no, but another tale in the world.

Kotor. The online game is fine and all, but it's something I never wanted. I don't like to play PC too much 'cause I have a crap one. A kotor 3 would be fine for me.

Hrm. I'd say Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, mainly because what we ended up with wasn't want the devs wanted, or at least so it seems. I think I remember hearing that it was changed to compete more directly with CoD and BF, probably much to it's detriment. Still a fun game, and I wouldn't mind a refined sequel that cleaned up and stayed truer to the title of 'future soldier'.

 

[HellbirdIV]

Half-Life 2.

Fuck, beat me to it.

Kotor. The online game is fine and all, but it's something I never wanted.

I'm putting that quote here just to show how much I appreciate someone wanting to see a KotOR 3 without being pissy about TOR existing.

For me, personally... I don't really know. I could cite the WarCraft RTS series, but I was always more of a StarCraft guy - and I could also cite something like Star Wars Republic Commando, but DICE is making the new SW: Battlefront, so that's a moot point, and so is suggesting they make a sequel to the Tomb Raider reboot considering that's pretty much a given... Hmmm...

Maybe a new Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War? Or hell, if we dig up an old school property we could have a new Dark Colony or Ground Control, since we're on the subject of scifi RTSes.

Oh. Wait. Nevermind. I've got it.

Star Wars: Dark Forces V: Jedi Knight IV: Kyle Katarn Kicks Yuuzhan Vong Ass For 12 Straight Hours

Seriously, Force Unleashed can piss off. There's only one lightsaber-swingin' action series for me.

The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask...

Yes I know there is other Zelda games after that, but I am talking about a return to Termina, a return to Clock town and the possible return of Majora or the introduction of another evil mask. You know what, hell...I would just settle for a 3DS remake at this point. But yeah, Majora's Mask is my favorite in all the Zelda series, it was just so different in tone and setting than from the other Zelda games that it truly made the experience unique. The game had this undeniable surreal-nes to it that only added to it's charm. It's themes and story really made the journey fantastic to me.....It's hard to accurately describe my feelings of Majora's Mask since there is just so much to cover....but I have been hankering for a return to the land of Termina for years now.....Majora's Mask deserves a proper sequel....but as I said before...as of right now....I'll just settle for a port to the 3DS.

Beyond Good and Evil: This has already been mentioned a few times but this, more than any other title, is the one sequel I need to see made. BG&E was such a fantastically imaginative experience with an interesting world populated by creative and interesting sci-fi characters. The story was top-notch and ended with a cliffhanger that I have yet to get any sort of resolution on for almost ten years now.

Other games I think really deserve another chance to better flesh out their lore or world (or better refine their mechanics) would be Oddworld, Jade Empire and Brutal Legend. I think a Jet Force Gemini sequel would be great too, although I doubt it would be handled properly.

I have always been hoping for a sequel ghost trick. if they did it would be fantastic if they made the puzzles have different solutions and be a lot less linear compared to the first game.

And another good one would be a sequel to Cave Story because it's Cave Story.

 

[Brad Shepard]

Hm... hard choice, but if i was put on the spot, i would have to say The World Ends With You, god the combat in that game was great.

Having just picked up and finished Mighty Switch Force 1 and 2 I can say that I want MSF 3 NAO!

And more classic Mega Man. On my 3DS preferably.

If they put MM9 on the 3DS eShop I'd let them take my money again ijs.
