Which game/sequel are you most disappointed never happened?

[TheLastSamurai14]

Freelancer was awesome. Freelancer 2 was in development, but Microsoft decided to buy Digital Anvil and can the whole project.

So yeah, Freelancer 2.

There was a game called Advent Rising. It wasn't a great game, though you did get a telekinesis power which you could use to throw bad guys into power conduits, but my problem is, it ended on a cliffhanger, and It never got a sequel. It was supposed to, but it didn't. They planned a trilogy, they didn't get one.

*jumps for joy*

Another human being has played that. Yes!

I also second Starcraft: Ghost and Prince of Persia (2008). Fuck you, Ubisoft. I want the story finished.

On that note, Penny Arcade: Volume three. There should be a rule banning a cliff hanger unless there is a guarantee of the sequel.

Discworld got mentioned a couple of times. Man, I would LOVE a point and click (or similar in 3D) Sam Vimes case. And Terry has to be involved, of course, it needs his stamp of approval.

There was that old point'n'click Discworld Noir, set in Ankh-Morpok which had an ex-Watchman turned PI investigating a case. It was for Windows 95 though, and I don't think it's available on anything like gog.com

For me, there's 2. Vandal Hearts was supposed to get a remake/sequel/prequel/tie-in/freakin' something for the DS that never happened. And Freedom Force: Days of Future Past was canned. So they could make Bioshock, which is all kinds of awesome, but still.

And if only there were some kind of sequel to Ace Attorney Investigations, or some kind of Ace Attorney crossover game with Professor Layton...Oh wait there totally are, they're just not releasing them outside of Japan -.-

A good Transformers game. (War for Cybertron was ok. Now do that, but better.)

They are, it's called Fall of Cybertron by the same people. This one will have the Dinobots!!

Ura Zelda (almost like an expansion pack to Ocarina of Time - new tunics, new dungeons, etc.)

Um... This exists. It's called the Master Quest. It actually came out. You can find copies of it on E-bay for the Gamecube (It's the pre-order disc that came with Wind Waker), or you can just beat Ocarina of Time for 3DS and it unlocks Ura Zelda (A.K.A. the Master Quest). It didn't get released on the N64 like it was supposed to because the DD was canned too quickly, but they had the entire thing done before the DD died.

 

[Oroboros]

KOTOR III, Battlefront III, Gladius II, Colony Wars IV, Breath of Fire VI, Croc III, Medievil III, Space Empires VI, Master of Orion IV, Jedi Academy II, Star Wars: Empire at War II, Rogue Squadron IV, Evil Genius II, Enclave II, Master of Magic II, Lords of Magic II, Icewind Dale III, Chapions of Norrath III, Wheel of Time II, Gauntlet sequel, etc, etc. You could fill a graveyard with great game series that never got the follow-ups they deserved.

 

[FoolKiller]

Anyone remember Legacy of Kain? I would buy a PS3 just for a new one of those.

Not possible. The story was finished. And that is why its still one of my favourite series of all time.

And while we're on the topic, I find it amusing that if a series gets regular additions then people complain that companies are milking the franchise, but if they stop making games people complain that there aren't any sequels.

I think that one of the best, and hardest, things to do in story-telling is finishing the story. Most fantasy writers (notably Robert Jordan) have a problem with doing this. Tolkien was great because he wrapped up The Lord of the Rings in a nice tidy package. Having other stories in that world was okay, but that story was finished.

 

[AbstractStream]

Mirror's Edge 2.
Why must they fuel rumors if nothing is gonna happen?! D:

 

[Shadow Geo]

We need a true sequel to F-Zero GX!!! There's no faster game, no harder racer, and no other game where only the obsessed can cross the finish line, always between the very limits of your machine to exploding to a hot scrap of metal.

Ura Zelda (almost like an expansion pack to Ocarina of Time - new tunics, new dungeons, etc.)

Um... This exists. It's called the Master Quest. It actually came out. You can find copies of it on E-bay for the Gamecube (It's the pre-order disc that came with Wind Waker), or you can just beat Ocarina of Time for 3DS and it unlocks Ura Zelda (A.K.A. the Master Quest). It didn't get released on the N64 like it was supposed to because the DD was canned too quickly, but they had the entire thing done before the DD died.

I had a feeling someone might say this I've got Master Quest; it came bundled with Windwaker. It's not Ura Zelda. Ura Zelda is an actual expansion, whereas Mast Quest is just the dungeons shuffled around and made harder. In Ura Zelda, there was supposed to be a white tunic and a gold tunic, Ice and Wind medallions, some big blue great Fairy... basically, lots of extras that sounds pretty awesome! Too bad we'll never see it... :/

The reason it needed the DD was because it was too big to fit on one cartridge, whereas Master Quest doesn't contain anything new so is the same size as OoT.

I'd only heard the name Ura Zelda in passing before, but I just happened to stumble across some videos about it just the other day

http://youtu.be/9upeK5hkvbU - that one's about Ura Zelda, but he's done another few on Zelda 64 Beta too.

Also, here are some guys that are trying to create their own version of Ura Zelda http://www.youtube.com/user/ZethN64

Oh, and I think he was also supposed to be able to get the Triforce too.

Then there's Tron 2.0. Underrated in my mind. Yes the acting was shit; but the environments were surreal; and the science was soft; and the plot was solid, yet ridiculous; and I for one loved it. But it ended with a lot of questions in the air with no sequel. What happened to the fCon trio? Who's the fCon CEO? Where the fuck is Flynn!? I'd be less pissed if it was considered part of the same canon as Tron Legacy, but it wasn't.

I miss that game. Where are those CDs!?

+247
As much as I love Tron: Legacy, I'd love to see Mercury and Jet again. I know they can't include the whole of Tron 2.0 into the Legacy timeline, but still... There's no reason that the characters of Jet, Mercury, and maybe even MA3A couldn't be integrated somehow. Altered back-story, sure, but still integrated. Also, maybe Dillinger's son trying to sell the company to fCon?

Nope, can't happen, the already soft science would break. One of the primary elements was that Alan was working on restoring Digitization technology after it was lost following the fall of the MCP. So it couldn't exist to send Flynn into the Grid and get subsequently trapped there.

I say keep them as two separate canons, but still release some kind of sequel, don't abandon the awesomeness.

 

[Gudgeon]

Starcraft ghost of course! Baldur's Gate 3 would have been nice too.

 

[DanielBrown]

Diablo III, with Blizzard North.
As far as I know they had started with the game, and probably made quite some effort, when they got canned or whatever it was that happened to their section.

I'm really looking forward to the Diablo III that's coming now, in spite of getting disappointed every time they bring us news, but it would've been awesome if they had released another Diablo game back in 2002 or so.

 

[LilithSlave]

I'm too saddened by the loss of Megaman Legends 3 to even see other games.

 

[Fijiman]

Star Wars Battlefront 3(curse you Lucas and the recession), Half Life 2 Episode 3(curse you Gaben), Chromehounds 2(SEGA, I am VERY disappointed in you). That is all I can think of at this point.

 

[Da Orky Man]

Homeworld 3. Come on Relic, your forums are fuilled with people begging for it.

 

[Jaythulhu]

Carmageddon 3.

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

A good sequel to kingdom hearts.

 

[duchaked]

There are other Star Wars sequels I really wish they'd done like Republic Commando 2 and, Battlefront 3. A current gen Rouge Squadron would also be freaking great.

it hurts to think about all those, and realize they might not ever exist :'(

I was actually just thinking about those old favs recently for some reason too lol

 

[karloss01]

Timesplitters 4 - if that doesn't come out i would at least like to see 1, 2 or 3 re-released for PSN and Xbox Arcade. 16 player with custom maps would = awesome.

Legacy Of Kain: The Dark Prophecy - apparently it was six months in development in 2004 but then Eidos pulled the plug on it.
