Over the years great games have been created, series were founded and left incomplete.

StarCraft left us wanting more. The Protoss were broken, the Terrans decimated,a nd the Zerg led to victory under Kerrigan's rule.

Forums net-wide still see posts from those who clamor at the thought of Diablo III. The expansion back closed the story, but after playing through the game players were still left with a hunger for more.

Freespace and Freespace II opened up the universe to us in a Space-Combat Sim that is still used as a benchmark for the genre. The Shivans won, however. Are the enemy allowed to win? Aren't we humans supposed to come back against impossible odds and win at all costs?

So many games have come and gone, and yet memories of some still linger longer than most.

What game do you most want to see a sequal for? What sotryline to you want to see brought to completion?
 
i'd love to see a diablo 3 :) . better yet, i'd have preferred to see 'world of diablo' than 'world of warcraft'. perhaps a bias answer :p .

I 2nd that one . . . . . :) :) :)
 
How about a sequel to a sequel? If that works, then a sequel to The Frozen Throne is needed, with more CG Cinematics (that's what they are right :confused: ).

I really can't think of any games that I've played that don't already have a sequel, or need one. But I'll try and think of more.
 
My votes would be Final Fantasy, Ultima, Wizardry, Might & Magic and Mario... because you can never have enough sequels.
 
WARNING: Old school gaming ahead.

We need another Wing Commander game. Perhaps like a hybrid RPG/Action game, where you need to build up your ships or something.
And not limited to the humans either. I'd like to be a Kilrathi.
Maybe a pre-quel? I'd like to know where the Kilrathi came from.

Maybe a modern re-make of Rise of the Triad. I had so much fun playing that over modem and on my 10base2 network at school.


I'm also awaiting a sequel to Starcraft... If Blizzard does it, i hope it's really large scale. To me WC3 was kinda... "small" (in terms of unit command, etc)
 
Another vote for a StarCraft sequel.

It was Blizzard's warcraft 2 old skool that brought me into online gaming and led to 5 years +1200 hours of starcraft.

I have yet to see Blizzard fail for the majority of the community

Damn right.

I played every single wing commander game to death. Love every minute of it. :)
 
another vote for freespace.. i've played through fs2 many times.. wish they'd do whatever is needed to make another.

Even the Descent series was awsome, Descent 2 is probably my 2nd most played game of all time (tribes1 being #1)
 
diablo 3 would be so awesome. give it some cutting edge graphics and load it up with fantastic CGI movies and you got yourself something awesome. i'm prolly gonna play world of warcraft, but i'm gonna miss my grandfather and doombringer swords. however i bet they make it into the game in some way...

starcraft 2 as well.

but what i'd really love to see is either a call of duty expansion or full blown game (can anybody say pearl harbor?) and go totally nuts on the graphics too. if you thought stalingrad was awesome i wanna see pearl harbor with hundreds of planes in the air and ships blowing up and the whole bit.

a max payne 3 i think would be pretty awesome... but that's just me...

and maybe a GOOD enter the matrix game.
 
Freespace 3
Fallout 3 (yes I know they dropped it, it really badly needs to be made.)

I agree that they should have made "World of Diablo".
 
hehe, I'm almost done with Freespace 2 for like the 10th time now :D

I really want to know what happens with that universe. I what to know what Bosch told the Shivans and where they took him. I want to know if contact with Earth was restabilshed with the Knossos Portal technology. I want to use the ETAK device to listen in on Shivan communications. I want to run more secret ops for the GTVI. I want more!

I thought there was a game pretty much like that, Freelancer? Isn't it supposed to be in the Wing Commander universe too?
 
I guess I need a serious reply. I'm going to restrict myself to games that haven't had a sequel yet, but should.

Planescape: The Sequel - Most interesting RPG world yet because the possibilities are endless.

Pirates!: I know a remake is in the works. That's gamespeak for a game that's so old and no one has played in ten years that instead of sequel they call it a remake.

Loom: This would be a breath of fresh air today.

Sam & Max: Duh! It's Sam & Max!

Neuromancer: Based on the William Gibson novel. MMORPG anyone?

Sequels that need more sequels:

Metaltech: This is the Earthseige/Starseige/Tribes universe. At this moment, even though it's been neglected, this has more going for it than the mismanaged Battletech Universe.

Planetfall: Floyd, I miss ya' little robot buddy! The third game in this series sadly never appeared.

System Shock: Shodan is teh b0Mb

Deer Hunter: Just kidding. Seeing if you were paying attention.

Crusader: Two great action games. So many ways to kill and die. It needs a revival.

Syndicate: This could be so bad ass that it could make GTA look like a children's show. It's got MMORPG written all over it.
 
As bad as Need For Speed: Underground was, I would still like to see another NFS title. Hopefully EA will fix all the issues with Underground and make it a much better game.

Another game would be Mafia. I think there is another one in the works? Not too sure about it though. But had a blast playing it and I really liked the storyline. Great game.
 
I want to see another xwing or tie fighter game like the good old ones. (I still play tie fighter occasionally, I love that game)
 
I'm disappointed no one's mentioned this already -

Total Annihilation. A sequel is GREATLY needed and wanted.

A "spiritual" sequel is already in the works.
 
fallout3, fallout2 is starting to get old...kind of....
another elder scrolls game, w/ lan. <3 that series.
i agree about tie fighter, those games were the best.
another baldurs game/planescape.
call of duty2.

Preface: I don't mean to pick on you, viper, but you give me great example to draw on.

This is why the market churns out crap title after crap title. There is no real consquence for making shit, we still eat it, hoping, nah, praying that this one will be different.

And do we learn, gentle readers? NO! The next sequel comes out, and we are right back at the troft of swill begging to pay 50 bucks to be let down, just one more time.

They have shelters for women like this. They should have shelters for gamers too.

So please, next time you see that sequel to a crap game: Think of the kittens.
 
A good sequal to Privateer 1. That game had everything perfect. I wish they would go back to cartoon base stories.....seemed more fun to me.

The PC is dire need of a good Space Sim/Shooter thats easy to get the hang off....wish they would resuurect the Wing COmmander Universe
 
Well there has already been sequels but i think Elder Scrolls IV is the biggest sequal im looking forward to right now. Hopefully they already have it like half done and plan on releasing it towards the end of this year or early next.
 
i doubt seriously that oblivion is near that done. but then again i could be wrong. there was a lot of stuff there were trying to implement into it.
ie, mounted combat, lan play
 
Red Alert 3.... for sure

And not the new shitty EA style generals game, the Westwood type game was waaaaay better.
 
Nocturne needs a sequal. They said they were making one but I havent heard of the next in the series yet in years. Man that game was creepy.



Undying is also another one I would like to see a sequel to. We need MORE horror games that actually scare the crap out of you.

LAN play would be ok for a multiplayer option to add to the primary single player scenario just as long as they dont try to turn it into one of those gay MMORPG's.
 
The Myth series by bungie.


Microsoft bought bungie, then they sold the myth name to another company which made a prequel.

Bungie needs to just do one last myth game to tie it all up.


Also:
New ultima game
Draken (WTF? the ending totally left room for a sequel, i dunno if the ps2 version picked up from here, but regardless they need to make a pc sequel)


Blade of darkness, not so much a sequel as just simply another game LIKE it, soooooo many games could be great if they had as much depth to the combat of the game.
 
Full Throttle: I was looking forward to the sequal till it got canned at the end of 2003. We need them to go back and finish it.
 
Beyond Good & Evil - totally deserves a sequel, but probably won't get one, because it didn't sell that well.
Eternal Darkness - See above
Longbow 2
Jagged Alliance
Grand Prix Legends
 
-die by the sword
-a new ultima(top down view more like u7 than u8)
-morrowind(i think ones in the making)
-a new police quest(doom3 engine maybe?)
 
Blood III
Shogo 2
Red Alert 3
Undying 2 - Only if Clive is back on the bandwagon
And....
Doom IV
 
I would like to see No One Lives Forever 3, System Shock 3, Wing Commander 5, Freedom Force 2, Falcon 5.0 and Baldur's Gate 3.
 
oh god. system shock. how could i have forgotten about that game. oh the hours i spent...
