Games that should have had sequels

[queequeg99]

Shogo (I still run through this once a year or so)
Rogue Squadron (heck, I would be happy if they would just make it playable on Windows 7)
HL EP2

 

[Kabob]

Duke Nukem 3D.

 

[ParadoxDenmark]

Duke Nukem 3D.

Mega Lo Mania. (Classic for the Amiga, and other lesser platforms)

Vampire: Bloodlines. (Simply the best RPG ever created, with the unofficial patch. The characters, and dialogue is simply unrivaled. Awesome atmosphere)

Fallout 2, isometric with turn based combat.

Hired Guns - The '93 title. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WYUb8f_UqY

Moonstone

 

[Scotteq]

Planescape: Torment

 

[pathos]

Something akin to a Temple of Elemental Evil successor, but using some other old ad&d modules. Like, for example, they could do the Slavers series, then Against the Giants, and the Underdark to finish it up. There, the potential for at least 3 games right there

 

[trigun500]

A modern Extreme G would be amazing...XG2 was hardly a sequel

 

[SynthDude2001]

I'll say Unreal. Unreal II was a semi-decent game in itself, but a legit sequel to Unreal it was not.

 

[Anteaus]

Anachronox definitely. That game was so funny, if a bit contrived in regards to gameplay.

 

[Harrod]

NFS Porsche Unleashed

 

[Elcs]

Nexus the jupiter incident

Oh! Superb call!!!

 

[AstroManLuca]

NFS Most Wanted (Maybe a different City but with similar gameplay and plot elements)

NFS Carbon was the next game in the series and was pretty similar. There were a few changes but the basic racing and cop-chase elements were the same. I don't think it was as good though, and evading cops was made easier. Most Wanted really got my heart pumping when I had been on a 10+ minute chase and finally managed to find a hiding spot, hoping a chopper or cop car wouldn't come out of nowhere. But I almost never got busted in Carbon.

Dungeon Keeper (3?)
Total Annihilation (A proper sequel, not that SupCom trash)
Imperium Gallactica
Warhammer Dark Omen

5. Borderlands (hear they may be working on one).

I saw some interesting news the other day that almost made me worry about this. Supposedly, Take Two was working with some Korean MMO developer on a MMO with one of Take Two's IPs. Since Take Two owns Rockstar and 2K, the article suggested obvious things like GTA and Bioshock, but I was surprised that they ignored Borderlands.

Borderlands seems almost like the easiest transition into a MMO given it's already got everything but a persistent world. Although, if Gearbox was involved, they'd need to take a couple serious lessons in how to handle additional content.

I wouldn't want to see a Borderlands MMO though... I'd definitely much rather have a sequel or just a similar game (can be a totally different story).

 

[BathroomFeeling]

1. Freelancer
2. Star Wars Battlefront (as part 3)
3. Jedi Knight

 

[Disconnect]

Giants: Citizen Kabuto

 

[pmv]

kingpin
master of orion 2 (yes I know...but you know what I mean, right?)
clive barker's undying (seconded)

most of all...agree with Phobic9 about NOLF. To many gritty generic soldier-sims, not enough humour in games these days.

 

[Emultra]

Giants,

 

[Arkaign]

Dragon Age : Origins.

I'm looking at you, so-called DA2

 

[AstroManLuca]

No one has said Republic Commando yet.

 

[LumbergTech]

psychonauts

 

[dlock13]

HL EP2

^ This.

End of thread.

 

[smackababy]

Jedi Knight
KOTOR
Powerstone 2
Smash TV (yeah the last two were arcade / console games but I don't give a shit because they were awesome!)

 

[Schadenfreude]

As far as sequels are concerned, I'm on the fence as a whole:

- I'd want a sequel only in that I've enjoyed the original game
- The chances that the original will stay faithful, in terms of quality, is in inverse relation to:
- The game company/rights-holder switching hands
- The time between the original and the sequel

- Because oftentimes the original game will bring something innovative to the table and that's their "hook"/key to success: but by the time that the sequel goes gold . . . after the rights have been secured and new hands/teams get to it, it's simply not innovative anymore/it will be an entirely different beast. Just for example, look at all the posts that name a certain game "X" and say "X2" didn't count. As sad as it is to say, yeah it did count because that's what the rights-holders/publishers say counts.

 

[dust]

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

+1, I'm still hoping someone will pick the project up, preferably not Ubisoft again!

And yeah, I would like another Jedi Knight.

 

[AstroManLuca]

Jedi Knight
KOTOR

JK had two sequels, KOTOR had one (more like 3/4 of one).

I agree they should have kept the series going though instead of shitty Force Unleashed and some MMO I'll never play.
