I really would like to say a sequel for Battlefront 2.
But I can, I would have to say, a proper sequel for Jak 3 (Past the events of JakX and Jak and Daxter: The lost frontier never happened), basically a better and newer Jak 3, I loved the jak and Daxter series with all my heart. <3

I had a post about this in an earlier thread. Here's the gist of it.
1. Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks II
The original Shaolin Monks is one of the best games of its multi-genre franchise and one of my favorite games of all time. A fast, loose beat-em-up action game that was and is criminally underrated by the standards of any generation, it stood side-by-side with the likes of God of War but received none of the credit it deserved for its entertaining and fluid battle system, hilarious camp, and abundance of genuinely hard-to-find secrets. A sequel would bring to light a game that really needs it, as well as provide an opportunity for new characters(Kenshi, anyone?), new settings, and new ways to finish him. Or her. Or them.
2. WET II
Say what you want about WET, but there still isn't much out there that's anything like it. It was a love letter to grindhouse B-movies with snippy dialogue, a good combat concept(if not the best execution of said concept), and a swarthy, twisted, and downright mean protagonist who was one of the standout female game characters of the decade. Many questions in the first game remained unanswered and many characters undeveloped. A sequel would allow for not only a much needed fine-tuning of the controls and combat, but also further character building, perhaps expanding on the relationships Rubi has with the likes of Zhi, Milo, and maybe even Kafka Dvorak.
She was totally feeling Rubi up. It was awesome. More, please!

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. New story, but keeping the open ended world, the rule system and using the Rage graphics engine.
Tie Fighter. Similar to the old one, but with more internal politics within the ranks of the empire and updated graphics. Loved that game.
We need more games in the Baldurs Gate (1 & 2) style of play. Deep story driven RPG/Strategy that is not dumbed down for the console tards. Yes, I'm looking at you, Dragon Age 2.
Knights of the Old Republic in a non vegetable MMO recepy. More of Kotor 1 style games!
I would like to see Mirrors Edge get a sequel.
I enjoyed Turrican 2 something fierce on the Amiga. That would be cool to see again.
Popolous 2! OMG how frickin epic was that game? Moar!
Master of Orion 2. Same level of complexity (ie, no need to add much more tech etc) but just a bit more modern and with a slightly better strategic combat section.

There are three Deus Ex.Yopaz said:
Deus Ex, the original ground breaking game. Deus Ex 2, still pretty cool, but way dumbed down and generally perceived to be inferior to Deus Ex 1, even though graphics etc was way better. And lastly, Deus Ex Human Revolution, which is a prequel to the series and quite fun to play.
An official Alundra sequel on a handheld. I'd love to see the "entering dreams" angle examined a bit more. Maybe this time instead of having to enter dreams to combat a dark force, he has to enter dreams to get information or change people's moods towards him. Hell, the Dreamwalkers were a race, so they could put it in an entirely new setting with a new main character.
The World Ends With You is hitting sequel territory. They really don't have to do much to keep it a solid game besides come up with a new plot (maybe examine an area other than Shibuya) and add some new pins/combat mechanics.

Was that a stab at Black Mesa? Or are you making a stab at Half-Life: Source?TerribleAssassin said:
OT: Probably C&C Generals. It was one of my favorites in the C&C franchise, and I'd like to see something new with it. But only if EA doesn't royally screw it over like C&C4 >:U
I'd second this. I'd also like a re-release of Day of the Tentacle alla Monkey Island: Special Edition.bkrockwell said:
Saw the thread title/question and the first (and only) thing that popped into my mind was Vagrant Story. I'd settle for an HD re-release but given the story and world that the original created a sequel would be nice as well. The game had interesting characters, decent environments (a bit on the brown side and the map function can fuck right off), solid combat (sequel combat would probably more resemble Devil May Cry or God of War) and probably the most balanced crafting system I've ever encountered.
I would like a sequel to Chrono Trigger. Awesome game, definitely needs another look
Yes Chrono Cross was technically the sequel, but I just did not like it at all. Hard tget involved with the story when there are a million damn characters to choose from. That, and the magic system felt so crappy to me.
I guess a remake of Chrono Cross then would accomplish the same goal here. Either way, this needs to happen!

Advent Rising. I feel like that game had a lot of potential. I found the gameplay to be a lot of fun, but it was so buggy and unpolished that it tanked and nearly bankrupted the developing company. It was supposed to be the first in a trilogy, but now we'll probably never see the rest of it. If I could, I'd give it an HD makeover, fix all the bugs, and maybe tweak some of the story a bit to see if it would sell better.
