What deserves a sequal game?

I think freelancer takes place in its own universe, but while we're on the subject, Freelancer needs a sequel. Great storyline, graphics, gameplay, but the ending was pretty abrupt. There's so much more that could be done with that storyline.

Good idea, maybe 3D cards and a new ending sequence that will blow us away when we win!

Solitare will only be cool when it has a multiplayer feature built into the sequel. ;)
 
I think I'm waiting for enough sequals to want to be listing of more...

the obviouse two
DoomIII
HL2

and for the hell of it why not
Duke Nukem Forever (not that I'm actually waiting for it)

-----------------

Out of the games listed though I'd love to see Starcraft II
 
Freelancer does need a sequal.

reespace 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?

These two games still blow me away. FS2 was so beyond anything graphically I had seen at the time, and the game play was even better. Getting lost in a nebula was as any level of any game I have ever played.

It is a game that I never tire of playing the single player missions. I was literally in shock and cried at the end of Freespace 2. When the Colossus went down I actually felt as if thousands of lives had been snuffed out. :(
 
Thankfully, there's already a Sam and Max sequel in development.

Beyond Good and Evil had a sequel lined up before the first was released. Unfortunately poor sales led to it's cancellation. Tragic.

I'd love a System Shock 3. Sadly, it's unlikely. RIP, Looking Glass. Does anyone know if Ion Storm picked up the System Shock liscense along with Thief?
 
I really just want to echo what a few others have said in terms of needed sequels:-

Deus Ex 2. I don't consider DX:IW to be a true sequel for various reasons already discussed ad nauseam when it was released.

System Shock 3. Apparently, the license is in a mess as no-one really knows who owns the property. Harvey Smith has expressed an interest and many ex-LG people are at Ion Storm so I could see that happening at some point, hopefully soon.

Another Crusader game. Too few isometric 3-d games these days. Also, No Remorse & No Regret rocked even on my 486. Those spiderbombs were badass, and there were loads of neat touches like mentioning Citadel Station/SHODAN in the fake newspaper which came in the box.

More TIE Fighter please LucasArts. Or Freespace, Privateer, I'm not fussy. All were great and again, space combat sims generally seem to have died a death over the last few years. Everything has gone FPS or RTS, although Freelancer was a notable exception (insert rant here re: mouse controls only)

Syndicate is aching to be re-done. I think Bullfrog dropped the ball slightly with Syndicate Wars, but they could make good with a new remake of the original. Actually, I've not heard what Bullfrog are up to ATM, or did everyone just leave to go to Lionhead?

Need For Speed Underground. IMHO, this was good fun, whether or not you go for the whole 'rice' thing. I'd buy a sequel if it had more & more varied content in terms of cars, mods, circuits and play modes.

The Usual Suspects:- waiting patiently for D3, DNF, HL2, NOLF3, UT2004, next Jedi Academy/Dark Forces game, etc, etc.

btw its 'sequel' not 'sequal'. now flame me for being a grammar nazi
 
Master of Orion...and I mean a real sequel, not that crap they suckered me into buying last year. And I hope the new x-com/ufo invasion game is good.

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.
Click to expand...

EXACTLY what I was thinking. A Clive Barker game using tomorrows game engines and lighting would freaking rock...

I'd still like to see Undying the Movie...as long as its not turned into something like Underworld....

I don't know about anyone else...but I almost pissed myself first time playing Undying and looking at the family painting...it was 2 in the morning, all the lights off in the house....wholly crap what a great game...
 
FFVII, The Longest Journey and Grim Fandango. I would even pay double the price if these games got sequals.
 
Some more games that I feel need sequels.

Star Control series. With the Spathi song remixed by a major Techno DJ

Out of this World / Fade to Black

Halloween Harry : Alien Carnage (This could make a great FPS. quirky, and fun all around.)

Rise of the Dragon (It was loosely based on blade runner. great story line.)

X-Com (aren't they re-making or making a new version of this?)

The 7th Guest... PC Gaming really needs a suspense thriller horror game like this, and the 11th Hour.

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.

i agree, there was a version for the xbox of blade of darkness on the works called ultimate blade of darkness i bleive but it got canned. I also heard of a sequal that also got canned, still play that game, i just wish i had some one to play it with over lan or tcp/ip. (i even bought another coppy of the game for 2 bucks brand new at gamestop :D )

Also, any one remember the game Shadowrun for the SNES?
that game defenately needs a remake or a sequal, they could even include the old game with it, that would be so cool. :D

ps: if any one has blade of darkness and would like to play over tcp ip let me know :D

isn´t diablo 2 a sequel to diablo?

Well I don´t know every good game tends to get a sequel. Driver but that is already on it´s way ;)
What more? Rise of Nations of course but it really don´t need a sequel yet and an expansion pack is on it´s way.

What else are there that hasn´t got any sequels? Mafia but Mafia 2 is announced...

Every good games get´s sequels ;)
 
That should be amended to every good selling game gets a sequel. There are plenty of great games that get ignored because it didn't sell that well. Even games that suck but sell a few million copies get a sequel.

What good games didn´t get a sequel? Every game I consider good tend to get sequels.

And good and best selling often goes hand in hand ;)
 
Using my post on the first page and some others:

Planescape: No sequel yet.
Pirates!: I know a remake is in the works. Not a sequel though.
Loom: Had a similar game made, but no sequel.
Sam & Max: Sequel being worked on, but it's not out yet.
Neuromancer: Based on the William Gibson novel.
Full Throttle: Had it's sequel cancelled.
Rise of the Triad: I should talk to Tom Hall about making one.
Freedom Force: Superhero games are cool.
Blackthorne: The one game Blizzard hasn't made a sequel to.
Times of Lore: Great Origin RPG that didn't take place in Britania.
Autoduel: This Steve Jackson property gets no respect
2400 A.D.: It had poor sales, but was a great game.

There are plenty of others out there.

A Planescape sequel goes without saying. It's too bad Black Isle is gone.

I understand there's already a Freedom Force sequel in the works.

I was just thinking about Blackthorne. Everyone keeps mentioning all of these Blizzard games and all I could think of is that everyone was forgetting Blizzard's old-school console roots.

Square needs to come up with a new exciting single player release on PC for the Final Fantasy series. I have been waiting for a good PC ported version since Final Fantasy VIII. FFXI was a big dissapointment for me because i dont play MMORPG's. Final Fantasy X-2 wasn't that great IMO ither. My only hopes is that there will be a truely awesome Final Fantasy XII released on PC and PS2 thats part of the single player RPG style epic that has been so great through the whole series.
 
I would love to see another Crusader game. No regret and No Remorse are two of my favorite games of all time. The both had excellent graphics (at the time), and near perfect gameplay. Pertty much everything was destructable. Another Diablo would be great too :)
 
Oy, like everyone's already said, StarCraft has got to be the biggy. I'm waiting eagerly for that TA 'sequel' also. FS2 of course is also on my list.

Now for some more obscure games that don't/won't have a sequel that haven't been mentioned:
Populous: The Beginning
NetStorm
Subspace
Mech Commander
 
Let me clarify your list

Populous: The Beginning Won't. Really got the God genre going.
NetStorm Don't.
Subspace Don't. Pioneer in internet multiplayer.
Mech Commander Won't, but it all depends what Microsoft does with the FASA property it owns. I'm thinking about firing this title and Mech Commander 2 back up again actually.

sequel to:

Commander Keen .
Star Trek: Klingon Academy
original C&C storyline (Tiberium + Kane etc)
Beer
Zone 66

I still play X-Wing: Alliance. Awesome game and I would like to see another in the series.

I also agree Rise of The Triad needs a sequel. I miss the Drunken Missile.:(

The new Pirates! game isn't a simple "remake" of the original, where'd you get that idea?

and freedom force has a sequel coming out.
 
STARCRAT2 would be the best ever. WC can not compare to SC. Starcraft is just so much more complex and fun. I dont get why blizzard isnt following up..there is an obvious want for it.

I would like to see another masters of orion...BUT A GOOD ONE THIS TIME..like the first one.

another monnkey island..but nto like the last crappy one...
 
Starcraft
Blood
Crusader: No Remorse/No Regret
Sin
Carmageddon/Carmageddon 2
X-Com: UFO Defense
System Shock 2
Wolfenstein 3D (don't consider RTCW a true sequel)
Shadow Warrior
Motorhead
KoToR
Close Combat series
 
StarCraft is in real need of a sequel. Blizzard better do something about it!

i agree with a lot of your games

however, why wasn't RTCW a true sequel for you? Seemed to work nicely for me.

Crusader is in definit need of a sequel, however it probably won't happen, it looks like it's style of game has kind of dropped off the wayside.

KoTor will probably no doubt have a sequel, it's too new to be sure of however.

also, i'm playing mafia right now, and would LOVE to see a sequel, that is actually a stable, and well put together game. The first has a great story line, but some really bad "bugs". I hear one's in the works, or at least on the drawing board.
 
civ 4, i think that with civ 3 they made it too complex and take too long, better game, bigger maps better uits, having air + naval bombardment actually do something...,

There are subspace sequels....Infantry and another SOE game (can't think of the name) were based on the subspace formula, and were even created by some of staff from the illfated VIE, which first developed Subspace.
