Games that NEED a sequel

[Jibblejab]

Lego Racer. If you want to know how a GOOD arcade racer works, look no further. Not that dumb open world with checkpoints BS where missing a corner at the wrong place meant instant unrecoverable loss.

Truly the words of god!

I loved that game!!!!

I'd like a sequel to Black And White 2. Preferably with multiplayer and some innovative stuff. The main plot was good.

I guess not all of us would agree to a sequel but ...oh well.

Freedom Fighters 2. I've been waiting for a sequel for 6 years. I love the original! It is the only game I know of where the actual element of being a guerrilla is nailed perfectly. And the story was really engaging as well, very patriotic and inspring in fact. EA needs to get off their asses and make a next-gen sequel that has been long over-do. Please EA! Give us Freedom Fighters 2! You said that you would!

Agreed, that game was amazing, but the sequel blew. needs a real sequel, breaking up your car crap
Edit: I screwed that quoting mechanism up a bit, nevermind fixed

For christ's sake, do you even know what the search bar is?!

So the topic has been done before, who gives a damn? Why the need to get all high and mighty about it?

Because it's been done so many freaking times!

Ristar would be nice. I could see a DS thing happening. Dual screen functionality + stretchy arms = potential.

Vagrant Story is also an old favorite of mine that I wouldn't mind. Way different than most games set in Ivalice. The relentlessly grim dark ages/European setting was unique among games from that specific developer, and it works better than most.

Finally, a new addition to the Chrono series. We need Chrono Break.

Half-Life 2: Episode 2.
Preferably in my lifetime.

That's what I was gonna say!

I guess I'll nominate Ultimate Spider-man then.

 

[theironbat46]

inFamous, if not an actual game then a comic. I need more of that awesome story.

 

[A Satanic Panda]

Half Life 3 for my grandchildren would be nice

 

[T_Money996]

Eternal Darkness

 

[Azure-Supernova]

Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain

As long as it doesn't butcher the series, although personally I'd like a graphical update (ONLY) of the original Soul Reaver (not LoK)

 

[feebstalicious93]

jak and daxter all the way

 

[Luke5515]

Timesplitters 3
=D
that and Battlefront 3 (same developers who last owned rights)
sigh

^That and nothing else.

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

Torchlight!

I know there's some silly MMO or whatever in development, but that sounds about as fun as slamming my dick in a car door. Besides, WoW is all the MMO anyone wants or needs for the next decade. I want a true sequel.

Queue the people saying "There is a sequel coming... it's called Diablo 3! *rimshot*".

 

[martin's a madman]

Fallout 1 and 2 need a sequel. I want more of that universe.

Flamebait much?

Like it or not, Fallout 3 is the sequel you're asking for.

Oh no, it was a joke. I was pretending to be oblivious to such a hugely publicised game. I love Fallout 3.

 

[Flos]

Killer 7.

Goddamn you, Suda 51.

 

[Pop_Tarts]

Battlefront

WHERE IS IT!?

I still want Shenmue 3. I mean there were obviously plans for it given how both 1 and 2 ended. I'm sure the Dreamcast dying and SEGA kind of dying played a role in this. However, now SEGA is just teasing me with the trailer for their stupid Mario Kart clone featuring Ryo Hazuki.
This might only be me, but I seriously think no game before or after Shenmue has achieved better story telling, and I want to know how the story ends... even it just gets released as a script, novel or graphic novel (in english since I now it is based on some book in Japanese).

Hey, didn't see your post there!

There were also rumors of a Shenmue-MMO lol. But the damn Dreamcast shouldn't matter, Shenmue II was released on Xbox... =/

Oh, I know. It was called Shenmue online, and looked dreadful.
Someone else on another similar thread mentioned the idea of a Shenmue trilogy/ complete edition release. I honestly think that'd be the best move if it were to come out since not everyone had a dreamcast or xbox.

Problem is, it's a bad investment. Nobody would flush their money down the drain, which is what they'd effectively be doing if they funded a new Shenmue-project. Or at the very least, they'd be playing Russian roulette with their reputation and cash. Quite sad really. One of the best and most revolutionary games of its time, to the point where it holds a special place in my heart, and yet so forgotten and underestimated.

Not that you're wrong in any way, but packages that sell at normal retail value but have more content often sell the best. If Shenmue 3 came out by itself, it would be flushing a company's money down the toilet.
However the value alone of getting 3 Shenmue titles for $60 is astounding, and since Shenmue 1+2 have already came and gone, they are kind of considered lost causes as far as making profit goes.
I mean three shenmue games on one disk is like Orange Box level bargain. So it would have really good selling potential. However, I agree that fi you're in this for profit, Shenmue is a bad idea sine the first two did so poorly. I do think that a lot fo that had to do with what console they were on, the timing, and the fact that neither had a satisfying ending. If I had tons of money, I would happily throw it towards this project just to see it finished, but that's more of a personal desire on my part.
