What do you look for in a sequel?

[Pegghead]

Hello escapist, Pegghead here.

So with the announcement of Bioshock: Infinite we can already see just how different the game is to the Bioshock games we know and love, where one is filled with cutthroat aquatic hijinks and socio-religious and political ideology in a deco dystopia Infinite seems to be filled with high flying combat and uber patriotism in a steampunk paradise.

This is the kind of sequel I like, taking the same basic concept and sending it to new, interesting places with new characters, story and feel. The same can be applied to movies and books as well.

So escapist, what do you like sequels to do with a franchise?

Same concept. Hopefully continuing the story. Addressing any major issues from the first game and improving in most areas.

I also like to see a more expansive world with more information.

I like it to feel the same just more strengthened and perfected.

Can't ask for any more than that, except maybe some more, and/or updated weapons.

Provide liquor and copious amounts of drugs packed in the box. Havent found it yet, but it wont stop me from looking.

 

[The Procrastinated End]

1.Continue the story without being a parasite to the first.
2.Using what you learned from the first one through feedback and stuff like that, to improve gameplay.
3.Not using the original's popularity to just add nothing to it.

The collectors edition of Dead Rising 2 has a syringe full of zombrex, it's close.
