I miss you Oddworld studios.
(also, where the hell is my Pikmin 3? Come on Miyamoto, you said it was in the works years ago!)

Vampire The Masquerade - Bloodlines. - The games developer went under; one of the most underrated games out today. :'(
Star Wars Republic Commando II (Star Wars Imperial Commando alt.)
I want to learn about what happened to Sev already! Give me my gritty Star Wars back!

The "anarchistic" ending was freakin' awesome. One of the best storylines in games to date.dead_rebel said:
Mirror's Edge 2 (although EA have hinted they're working on it, so... fingers crossed?)
Also, the third game in the Legend of Zelda: Oracles games. In addition to Seasons and Ages, there would have been a third, focusing on changing the time of day. It got cancelled due to the link system of codes. Basically, at the end of an Oracles game, you were given a code to enter into the other game to start a Master Quest style of game. Characters from Seasons would make cameos in Ages (or vice versa), you could get more codes to get extra items, like the Master Sword or Seed Satchel that held 99 seeds rather than 30 or 50, and after defeating the Big Bad of that particular game, you got to fight Twinrova and Ganon. It was pretty damn cool.
Unfortunately, the third game was pulled after Nintendo realised two games meant there were two paths to linked completion (Seasons, then Ages, or Ages, then Seasons), but with three games, there would have been six ways, and the codes would have been too hard and complicated to make work correctly on the Game Boy Color. So, it was cancelled. It's a shame. It also looks incomplete, because the Oracle of Seasons is called Din, and the Oracle of Ages is called Nayru, so presumably the third Oracle would have been Faeroe, and green-haired. It's a shame. A bit of wasted potential, there. I really like those games.

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 3. I know the offshoot series wasn't as good, but dammit, I had fun! I could be a barbarian that could learn to dual-wield greatswords! Pity Black Isle went under. They were responsible for some of the greatest RPG's around.
You are describing the one encouraged form of piracy. A game, loved by many, that was made, but never localized. To top it, fans loved it so much, that they made an unofficial translation over the course of two years, and Nintendo didn't shut it down. They notoriously deliver C&D's to any most infringing work, but they let this one slide. Find a copy of the ROM. Find an emulator. Patch the ROM with the translation. Find a greater satisfaction in your life that you didn't realize you were missing.ASan83 said:
Well, that's kind of what I was getting at, in the first place. Alan's character arc would have to follow the new timeline, and the characters of Jet and Mercury would have to be suitably altered. None of their back-story or the story of the game, but you could include their characters and personalities. Alan doesn't need to be working on the Digitizing technology for his interactions with Jet to be similar. He's just got to be working on something and dedicated to it.BlackWidower said:
But then, I realized it doesn't work too well, because Jet and Sam have such similar personalities, and they would be bound to meet at some point and become fast friends. MA3A would need to be thrown out nearly whole-sale.
So, your "branching canons" idea would work better.
Interestingly, the one thing that could easily be transported between canons is the Data Wraiths. Malicious users in the digital world would easily be able to wreak havoc on the Net of Tron: Legacy. Plug the "Grid" drive that Sam has into a Net-enabled Unix computer, and there would be nearly no stopping them. Heck, just enable a Net connection to the old Grid computers under the arcade and it would work. I bet you could easily pop a wireless NIC into that set-up, or at least a USB hub, which you can plug a USB wireless NIC into.
Of course, that now has me thinking of the Grid getting a Net connection and what would happen if someone typed "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" on the keyboard. Can you imagine the whole-sale reconfiguration of the Grid like that?
Half-Life: Episode 3.
But seriously, Extreme-G on the N64, I would *love* a sequel to that on the 360/PS3. That game was so much fun!
And semi-related, a proper sequel to Neverwinter Nights would have been nice, I can't even count Neverwinter Nights 2 as an actual part of the franchise, it was so horrible.

Wow, the two games I wanted to mention that I didn't think very many people would care for were mentioned on the first page. Battlefront 3 and Darkwatch 2.
That is awesome. I've not been able to buy the full game for the first part yet, but considering that I really liked the trial I would definitely want to see a second one come out.Fasckira said:Two points on this:thaluikhain said:
1) I 100% agree, wish they'd release it already
2) I have a signed hand drawn art piece from the creator of Blade Kitten featuring Justice putting a box into a shipping envelope; I ordered the Kit Ballard limited edition statue thingy and it arrived in a standard envelope from Australia crushed to bits. I complained on the Blade Kitten forum, not expecting anything to come of it but more pointing out that a bit of common sense would have advised not to send a fragile object around the world in an envelope. A week later another package arrived with the drawing, a copy of the Blade Kitten cartoon, a bunch of stickers and a new statue in a box signed by Steve along with a note apologising. Turns out they had sold out of the statues so it was one he had kept back for himself too!
I would also like to add Sonny 3 and the next Sinjid game to the list of games I want to see.
Double Fine Studios is one of my favorite developers ever, but why in the fuck did they not make a Psychonauts sequel. They set it up at the end of the first one and everything, but they never made a sequel to what is possibly one of the best games ever made.
Imagine being on the grid when that happens. That would be scary. Suddenly, the building had colour! Holy shit!!!AdmiralMemo said:

Descent 4
Freespace 3

Rise of Nations II, because the original was good, but it didn't really reach its true potential.
Age of Empires IV... come on, there was a teaser for IV and V, the series should go right up to the modern era.
