Games needing sequels! - but we know they'll never come.

[Vault101]

anyway theres this bioware game Ive herd of called Jade empire it seems kind of obscure for somthing from Bioware, it looks pretty awosme and if I can get it Ill play it though from what I understand it doesnt have a seaquel

It has some fairly major flaws that you have to be willing to overlook, the combat system is somewhere oddly between 'oh my god this is the worst thing i've ever seen' and 'genious' from them trying to mix a hack and slash with an RPG and what feels like Tekken's handicapped half cousin. The storyline is actually quite forced and the variety is a bit lacking for..almost everything, but overall it's quite enjoyable if very samey fights and usual RPG "be supergood or all evil" moral choice shennanigans.

After going and running the disk on my xbox360 for a bit I can happily say again that the customisation is non existant and everything feels very shallow, but not a bad game.

It is actually quite a pretty game for its time from what I remember, will go and fish it out my games shelf or see if it's on steam(after checking this it is, so if you don't want to rely on a dodgy old xbox game from a bargain bin somewhere just get it there for $10-ish).

As for my suggestion, I havn't done page 3 of this thread yet but i'l keep it simple:
*corrects his posture and takes a breath so his can make his announcement in a strong and clear voice*

DUNGEON KEEPER 3

that is all

YES YES YES!!! or current gen threme hospital that would be awsome

its a shame about Bullfrog...

I've said it before, Independence War (also known as I-War). I would love to see a third one of those made.

This isn't the first time I had said it but I will say it again, I want Gotcha Force 2!!!!

For some reason- the only ones that come to my mind are games that all have a sequel, but a really really bad one:

Mercenaries
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Perfect Dark
Crimson Skies
Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader
Driver
Operation Flashpoint
Battlefield 1942
GTA: San Andreas
Mashed
Interstate '76
Vigilante 8

Diddy Kong Racing 2. Honestly, this game probably shouldn't be made considering the recent track record of Rare. So if Rare gets their act together, this would be a great way to show the gaming public "Hey! We're back!"

I don't think it should be made- have you seen the DS remake? it's like Live and Reloaded all over again. It even has the same composer, yet the music has none of the charm of the original. How does the same guy have a brilliant score, and then mess it up!? I honestly think that spark that Rare used to have is just gone forever.

Also, being British, I would love nothing more than a full 3D sequel to Grand Theft Auto:London

I'm not even British, but I've been yearning for that too ever since San Andreas came out. "You're brown bread!"

Battle front 3.
1 was great and 2 was pure gold and 3 was in the works, but then it stopped for some reason. sad.

Sadly, that sad reason was to focus on Force Unleashed 2.......

 

[Motakikurushi]

Agreed, that ending was ripe for a sequel. I actually have high hopes for a 2nd Psychonauts, since Double Fine seem to be building themselves back up via Indie games. It's going to be a long time before we see Razputin again though.

 

[SilkySkyKitten]

XII, great FPS game, great storyline, great Cell Shaded badassness and one great big cliffhanger that will never be finished because it sold like shit.

^^This^^

I know I could just find and read the comic that game was based on to figure out what happens, but dammit I want a sequel! That game was a fantastic and unfortunately forgotten gem from the previous generation of consoles.

 

[Oioptyoip]

True Crime

True Crime Hong Kong is comming out soon

True Crime: Hong Kong got cancled. *sob sob*

[TheNewDemoman]

Zone of the Enders 3 for consoles (maybe PC but they would just complain anyway xD)
Mirrors Edge 2
Borderlands 2

So, the point is to list a game that you wish had more sequels. Tell us why you want a sequel/more sequels and explain why you know, they aren't coming!

I wish they made another Heroes of Might and Magic, it clearly needs a number six! It has always been my favourite turn-based strategy game, although number four was utter bullcrap, number three and five were golden.
The real problem with making a sequel is, that 3DO (the developer of the HOMAM-series) kinda shut down because of bankruptcy. I guess they died when number four was really, REALLY bad, plus some other game that didn't sell.

Dude, haven't you heard? HoMMVI is under development (Ubisoft,same as heroes V). I haven't the slightest clue how to embed but here is the youtube link to a rather dramatic but undescriptive trailer.

Dev diary for the new stronghold

If you rummage around related videos and chanel page on the second one there are interviews with the dev team and other previews on gameplay.

Apparently tier 1-3 and 4-6 creatures will now be of equal strength with a tier 7 "champion" creature on top. (Pit lords are now the strongest for demons, devils have been demoted!)
Looks to be great though.

Psychonauts. Enough said.

Also, I'd like to see Kingdom Hearts 3, but Square-Enix seems more interested in stretching out the backstory just to make more games and get more money.

 

[Harry Mason]

Legend of Dragoon.

/sigh

SERIOUSLY.

Yeah, I second that motion. I played the hell out of that game.

 

[Harry Mason]

Double post. So sorry.

 

[Bloodstain]

XIII. You can't end it on a cliffhanger, dammit!

 

[Grey_Focks]

new Mech Warrior, god dammit! There was a trailer in 2009, then some legal troubles....then gone.

 

[pieguy259]

Freelancer.

Hell to the yes.

Also Blur, best racing game I've played in a while. Pity Bizarre Creations is history.

 

[crovax873]

Psychonauts needs one desperately.
Also a good Crash Bandicoot sequel, get some people who used to be at Naughty Dog to do it.
Also does anyone remember Toomba? That needs to return.

Ok so I guess I really miss good platformers. I am bored of just seeing Mario have all the fun.

 

[Xerosch]

Yeah, there's quite a lot on my list:

System Shock (games without Shodan don't count)
Vagrant Story
Gabriel Knight
Planescape (Torment)
Lost Odyssey
Syndicate
Realms of the Haunting
Heretic
Hexen
Wheel of Time
Loom

and many more...

I would adore seeing a sequel to the fighting game series "Eternal Champions". I liked the character designs and it had several interesting innovations going for it at the time, but it was limited by technical issues, poor controls system and a market which was growing far over-saturated with Street Fighter 2 "me too" clones, back in it's day.

That being said, I'd also like a true sequel to Bioshock 2 in which factions have grown, people's proletariat, surviving members of the effete upper class, splicer lunatics, big daddy/little sister coalition, all growing into positions of trying to salvage/save rapture or destroy each other trying... maybe both.
