10 Games That Deserve Sequels and Remakes

If you saw last years line up of games, you would have noticed a LOT of sequels came out. Far Cry 2, Gears of War 2, GTA IV, Call of Duty 5, Fallout 3... the list seemed endless. Some were good, some only average. Some may have tarnished the reputation of their series beyond repair. It's just the risk developers take when they choose to continue a tried-but-true game type.

More than remakes, it's absolutely criminal that so many games NEED sequels. I'm not talking about games I would enjoy another addition to. I mean games that physically CUT OFF at a cliffhanger or were announced as a series only to falter and fade into obscuria.

XIII & Legacy of Kain are good ones.

My sequel suggestions: Shenmue, KOTOR, Advent Rising

As for remakes...I would LOVE Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow Over Mysteria on XBLA/PSN. Even if it's just a port with added online multiplayer functionality. It seems absolutely perfect for it. Capcom, WOTC: make this happen.

UltraNova5537d ago

My first choice is Shadow of the Colossus, just the shear scale of that game is unbelievable, not to mention its simple yet powerful story. With the power of ps3 under the hood this game would be a killer!

One other game is the darkness... The story and the whole idea of the game was brilliant. I would say it defiantly deserves a sequel.

KKanjiAnkh5538d ago

Me personally
The Bouncer sequel
Metal Arms sequel
Mark the Garou sequel
Shinobi sequel
Oh and of coures Final Fantasy VII Remake

While, it has a sequels name, the game itself was completely different than the original farcry which was a great game and looked amazing at the time. It came out of nowhere and made the yet to be released Doom 3 look much less impressive as a power house game. Guess thats unrelated, but I really liked the original farcry.

Sangria5538d ago

Legacy Of Kain and Vampire Bloodlines are probably my highest wishes in terms of sequels, i love them.

The-Director5538d ago

Black from the PS2, one of the best shooters on that console.

Tony P5537d ago

Oh yeah, they really need to do a Black 2 already. Pretty good game and it has plenty of room to grow. Also, the story cut off abruptly at the end there. :/

Hopefully, that rumour going around will bear fruit in a 2009 announcement for Black: Second Mission.

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk17h ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast17h ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk16h ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk17h ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
