Far Cry....... Far Cry 2 doesn't count. That game is totally unrelated and could have well been called African Respawn City

Your wish has been granted, you need to go check out the E3 stuff on Far Cry 3, it is clearly what Far Cry 2 should have been

A lot already mentioned. Mirror's Edge was supposed to be a trilogy. One of the most original games I saw in a long time. Just needed some fine tuning to tighten up the controls.

KOTOR 3 of course. I'd love to see them do a Mass Effect thing with it. Different decisions mean different outcomes. Multiple endings. They killed off Revan prematurely.

Okami on the PS2 deserves a proper sequel instead of the half arsed DS one.

SMAC is the most obvious choice.

one wonders if EA even knows if they have the rights to it.

Although I know they've had or are sequels themselves, it's been far too long for:

X-Wing
TIE Fighter
X-Wing vs TIE Fighter
X-Wing Alliance
Jedi Knight Series

WTF happened to you LucasArts

Thought I saw some hinting that SMAC would be coming to gog.com, with all the other EA titles. I barely played it as a wee lad when it was out, but really want to try it properly.

TL: gog.com will be selling addicting SMAC..

Lawrence Holland and Totally Games haven't been doing so well lately.

Wheel of Time could have been expanded into an action-RPG series. However the first game, a tactical FPS was released at the same time as Unreal Tournament and Quake 3, so it didn't get the attention it deserved.

+1 to both Crimson Skies and Freespace 2. They were incredible when paired with a good force-feedback joystick (read: Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro) and I had a great time trying out the various planes/ships and weapons in either game.

I also agree that Mirror's Edge needs a sequel, but from recently-released comments it looks like our wish will be granted, albeit probably not for a while.

P.S. MechWarrior is getting a reboot, apparently: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MechWarrior_%28reboot)

Oh man, i loved that game! That would be an awesome GTA4 mod.

Yeah it was quite awesome. I loved the upgrades you could get. I remember there was one level at the end that was super hard until I realized there was a bug and you could rocket launcher your target right off the bat.
