SMAC with updated graphics
Freespace series has a mountain of unanswered questions
System Shock 2 ended with a real bastard of a cliff hanger
Company of Heroes cries out for a "modern warfare" sequel
Vampire: bloodlines, such a rich universe to explore

 

[Red Hawk]

Mass Effect 3

 

[spherrod]

Baldur's Gate III. :'(

Agreed!

 

[Canun]

Oh, almost forgot. They need to really make a Rise of Nations sequel. The Rise of Legends game sucked, so I don't count that as a sequel.

Did you actually play Legends? I've been thinking of picking it up as when it first came out I wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole as it was so totally different from the gem that was RoN. Now I'm curious to know if Legends was really that bad.

There's little hope of a true sequel as the original studio Big Huge Games is gone and their leader is off making FarmVille into a monster.

Series that I wish made a more recent sequel (IE they all had sequels but it has been a LONG time since):

Master of Orion
Interstate 76
XvT
Wing Commander: Privateer

I had rise of legends and it wasn't even close to RoN, I'd like to see another sequel for that as well.

Anyways sequels I'd like to see:
A new Myth game would be great but it'll never happen
A sequel to Star Wars rebellion would also be cool I liked that game a lot.
Warcraft 4? Not sure that's ever gonna happen now with WoW out.

Sequels I'm waiting for:
BF3
Diablo 3
Skyrim

Fallout - in the isometric 3rd person perspective kind
As for Fallout 3, it's Max-Max Oblivion as far as I'm concerned (excellent game, but not Fallout).

Kinda bemoaning the end of the turn-based tactics games genre in general.

I agree it would be fun to have a new traditional turn-based Fallout game, but my main problem with Fallout 3 isn't the gameplay, it's the way they messed with the lore. They jammed in way too many references to the previous games without any reason other than to make it seem more "Fallout-y." There's no reason for the appearance of the Enclave, super mutants, the FEV, Harold, Jet (invented by Myron only 36 years earlier, on the opposite coast), and not MUCH reason for the Brotherhood of Steel to be there either, although that is at least possible.

From a lore standpoint, New Vegas is much much better than Fallout 3. Wish the Legion had been better fleshed out and not just pure evil, but that's my only real complaint story wise. The gameplay is similar... slightly better really, but the same basic idea.

But yes, it would be fun to have something like what Van Buren was supposed to be - 3D graphics, 2D isometric gameplay, turn-based combat.

I'm waiting for...

Diablo III
StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm
World of WarCraft's next expansion (probably be announced at BlizzCon).

There are some other games that I'm less fervent over.

As for games that I wish hadn't stopped... I'm not really too sure about. There are games I wish didn't change as much.

Meaning you do not need to own the current SC2 Terran to buy, install, and play the SC2 Zerg.

I wonder if it will be efficient about installing though? There has to be a ton of data shared between the two, so it should be possible to simply allow Heart of the Swarm to use Wings of Liberty's common data (or vice-versa).

That would be nice since I use a single SSD for World of Warcraft and StarCraft II, and it's only an 80GB! It wouldn't be so bad, but WoW seems to want to create a few copies of its large data files (1GB+ per file) in a cache folder.

Number Munchers

Haha. I played that game quite a bit as a kid, and it was actually fun in a scholastic sort of way. Although, I'm not sure what you could do to spice it up.

Wipeout...damn i love Wipeout HD/Fury

Planning on picking up a Vita then?

Warcraft

I kind of doubt that a WarCraft sequel will happen any time soon or at all. It really isn't all World of WarCraft's fault, but also the fact that there's StarCraft.

RTS games really aren't as much about the game these days, but also the competitive community behind it (eSports). If Blizzard released another WarCraft RTS while StarCraft II (and "expansions") were still in development, it would create some weird schism among the RTS fans and in eSports. I just don't see the benefit behind them doing that.

Now, there's one problem... you then leave the WarCraft storyline stagnant. That's where World of WarCraft comes in! Essentially, all WoW does is allow them to push the storyline of the WarCraft universe ahead without actually making a new RTS game based in that universe. The novels sort of help with this as well, but they tend to be more of side stories or stories that elaborate what already happened.

X-Wing

 

[sactoking]

The Gold Box games. It would be awesome if they rebooted that line with them repackaged in the BGII/NWN engine and then expanded the series.
