Basically the company went bankrupt halfway through the development of the PC version, which was going to be larger and better than the xbox version, but when the company went bankrupt most of the people just quit, then a handful stayed and slowly just quit as they continued developing the game and finally there were probably only 2 or 3 people working on it when they finished it.Gladion said:Are you sure? I am pretty certain I played that game on the PC as I never owned an Xbox.Jonathan Wingo said:Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth needs a sequel. Sadly, the compnay went bankrupt before they started working on the sequel, and even before they finished the PC version of the game.
It was really cool, yes, though the addition of guns didn't do the game very well, I'm afraid. In a sequel, that could be fixed, and afaik, Bethesda still has the rights, so maybe...

Well, the whole point of "What games NEED a sequel" I think is just, "What games either had a lot of loose ends that you'd like to see tied up or were a lot of fun and a sequel would be really awesome?"Funk Engine said:You misunderstand me. I'm not saying that no sequels are good, oh no, not by a long shot. The topic of the thread isn't "What game sequels are good", it's "What games *need* a sequel". I'm saying that no games *need* sequels. Sequels will always be made, and many will be good. Batman Arkham Asylum didn't need a sequel, but I'm really looking forward to Arkham City. Portal didn't need a sequel, but Portal 2 was a ton of fun. Sequels aren't bad by default, they're just not necessary.Jonathan Wingo said:I think you're a bit over-reacting. Yeah, a lot of times a game is made with a nice good ending that everyone loves and then the game's developers decide "Hey! That game made us a hell of a lot of money! Let's make a sequel!" and it often goes badly. This isn't necessarily the case for everything and you shouldn't put every sequel down. Just accept that obviously, if a game makes money, the developers will probably make a sequel. Sometimes sequels can end up wonderful, others end up horrible. Just stop complaining and if you don't like a game, don't play it. If you play it and don't like it, take it back. If you play it on the PC and can't take it back because stores are evil and don't like you taking their games back, then burn it! That's what I did with The Force Unleashed II and I enjoyed every second of the burning, far more than the game.Funk Engine said:No games need sequels. Sorry, but that's my opinion. Unless they set out with a full story in mind and decided from day one, or at least during the development of the first game, there is no reason to drag things out. Mass Effect deserves sequels, because they were planned. Bioshock did not deserve a sequel, because they were just grabbing for cash.
I know, this mindset means that technically Portal 2 shouldn't exist, and Portal 2 was great, but I still think that no games *need* sequels unless they were planned from the beginning.

This might be some good news for my fellow Republic Commando fans.spectrenihlus said:Star wars rebel commando please please pleasetriggrhappy94 said:Staw Wars Republic Commando!

Also crimson skies needs one badly.
And it's being speculated if there will be a sequel to Republic Commando, which would be awesome."LucasArts has lured former Republic Commando director Tim Longo away from Tomb Raider and handed him Unreal Engine 3 to play around with."
Yes! Still my favourite shooter ever. That game had some of the best banter I've ever heard in any videogame, and it made me really care about the characters. I was genuinely sad at the ending.triggrhappy94 said:Staw Wars Republic Commando!

I could not agree more, although there is one flaw that comes to mind with that, and it's name is 'Too Human'. They had planned for a trilogy and set the ending up for it and it was quite a terrible game.Funk Engine said:No games need sequels. Sorry, but that's my opinion.
