Games That Deserve Sequels

[Landslide]

Hey folks, I think it'd be interesting to see what everyone's opinion on this would be. What older games would you love to see made into a true sequel - using current technology to ramp things up. Not a re-imagining, or new genre with the same IP - but an actual, up to date sequel.

I'm gonna start things off by recommending a new Crusader [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusader_(game_series)] game. The original Master Chief, but he talked even less.

Anyone else?

Ultima VII really deserves a good sequel. We'll pretend the others didn't happen.

Aside from that, I'd really like to see a modern addition to the X-Wing/TIE Fighter/etc series.

i have to go with emperor of the fading sun. i loved that game, even though i never had the patience to totally play though it. if they streamlined it a bit, it would be awesome. if you've never heard of it, i like to think of it has a combination of master of orion and dune.

I actually really enjoyed Ultima VI [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultima_6]. Also, I'd love to see a space dogfighting game that was built around fun, instead of trying to appreciate all the hig-res-texture spaceships with normal mapping that zip by at 500m/sec and 10FPS.

Syndicate.

Uplink, Vampire: Bloodlines (I will drive this into the ground - best game no one bothered to buy), UO (those of you who've been around a while will get this), JK2 (Academy kinda sucked), System Shock 2, Mutant League Football.

Hell yes. Good choice. "SELECTED"

Beyond Good & Evil.

I thought Syndicate had a sequel? I'd be up for another Syndicate sequel, though.

A Beyond Good & Evil sequel, though, is something I dream about at night.

Yeah, there was Syndicate Wars, which was decent. I want a glorious next-gen update, though!

I would like a Beyond Good & Evil sequel as well, but I think the sequel I want more than anything else is Maniac Mansion.

 

[Landslide]

Yeah, adventure games are due for a serious re-invigoration.

Blood ,a solid campy horror title,thats fun and offers lots of odd weapons/monsters and large well built levels with a secret counter.

How about a Doom/Quake sequel that dose not suck? or at least its engine/setting dose not rape and devour the game and a secret counter too.

A good Deus ex that is not damaged for the consoles.

A Hexen sequel that can retain its freshness though out the whole game (been playing 1/2 on and off,needs more weapons....you wind up doing the same thing thought out the last half of it...add more powers and stat boosters and monster types should help it).

Arx faltalis 2 and no Dark messiah dose not count.

How about sequels to classics that are not drown in hollywoodized reality and then further watered down for the toothless masses?

 

[Hengst2404]

Hmm, I would think Psychonauts would be prime for a sequel, but then again Beyond Good and Evil is equally deserving. Outside of those 2, very obvious titles, I would love to see a return to the Baldur's Gate Series.

 

[Landslide]

I'm also going to nominate a new Star Control [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Control] game be considered as well. A lot of time was spent playing these. Also the old Epic classic, Solar Winds.

Landslide, I somehow doubt you intended to link to The Escapist - maybe this site [http://sc2.sourceforge.net/] instead?

Most of the games that've been mentioned, sure, but give me a follow-up on the DS to Ogre Battle 64 [http://www.mobygames.com/game/n64/ogre-battle-64-person-of-lordly-caliber] any day.

Whoops, lemme fix it.
