Game Sequels We Actually Want

CO writes:

It’s no secret that the video game industry is built upon franchises, and thus, sequels. Every year we see boatloads of new games released, yet it’s far more likely we’ll see sequels to tried-and-true franchises than brand new IPs. It’s the unfortunate rut our industry is stuck in at the moment. However, there are a few sequels that we’d actually welcome with open arms. We might be burnt out on yearly Call of Dutys, but the below titles represent game worlds we’re dying to reenter.

Personally I would love to see sequels to Wipeout HD, Chromehounds, SSX and Twisted Metal.

The latter two games there came out this year so there's no rush for sequels, but it would be nice to see those franchises continue since they're both so good.

Chromehounds was released in the launch window of the Xbox 360 and is easily one of the best online games I've ever played. Unfortunately From Software shut down the servers and seem to be focusing on their Armoured Core games and Souls franchise (Dark/Demons) nowadays.

Personally I would love to see sequel to
Prince of Persia 08
Mirrors edge
Jak and daxter
Beyond good and evil (cant wait for some actual info)
Sonic adventure 3

FrostyZipper4190d ago

I'm on the fence with PoP08. I despised the new Prince with a passion. He rubbed me in all the wrong ways and generally I found PoP08 was a cakewalk compared with the original series.

I agree entirely with Mirrors Edge. I don't think it's quite as good as many are making it out to be but it was a unique little gem in a world of modern shooting galleries. I would very much like to see another game of Mirrors Edge's ilk.

I don't think I need to say anything about JaD and BGaE.

Sonic imo is a series that needs to die. Each iteration grows progressively worse and sometimes I wonder if Team Sonic actually plays their product before they ship it out. Oh well, not like my opinion will change anything :/

Something I'd personally like to see is Vanquish 2. All-round fantastic game, if a little short, and another reason why Shinji Mikami is one of the best things ever to happen to gaming

Jet Set Radio Future 2 - or whatever they want to call it.
Release it in episodes like Sam and Max did but it must not be an Xbox exclusive this time as they just don't buy enough copies of it. An Xbox360 and PS3 release is fine but it must be on PS3 because Playstation owners tend to support arty games like that.

NCAzrael4190d ago

Half-Life 3
Mirror's Edge 2
Red Dead Redemption 2
Batman: Arkham (insert location)
Battlefield 2143
Wing Commander VI

I don't want a Mirror's Edge sequel anymore 'cos there is a %99,9 chance that EA would screw with the game, as they are doing with most sequels lately.

Duty Calls - Epic Games' Forgotten Call of Duty Parody

Back in 2011, Epic Games and People Can Fly launched a Call of Duty parody - Duty Calls - that has been lost to the annals of history.

closed_account312d ago

"Duty Calls: The Calm Before the Storm" sounds more like a massive case of the sh**s. 😂

I saw the parody mention, and half expected the ability to drop a deuce on your opponent... I left disappointed.

Never too much Taco Tuesday!! Now if only we could just achieve eternal Taco Tuesdays without the inevitable Wipe-It Wednesdays!!! 😂😂

Bulletstorm - A Cult Classic Worthy of Revival?

Bulletstorm will soon receive a VR remake, but is it worth revisiting? Take a look back at the original 2011 release.

IMissJimRyan320d ago

Absolutely. I remember when the game came out on ps360, I thought: "wow, another shooter" and in the 7th gen that wasn't an unfair reaction.

But when the game was re-release on ps4 I took my time an played it (it was on playstation plus at the time) because, ironically, I missed a shooter in that console. And boy, what a fun game! They made a game to be played and not to be watched. It was a fresh air in the genre that deserved better.

So yes. Maybe it find its audience this time.

SullysCigar320d ago

It's an awesome game. The only exception (for my taste) is the script writing, which is OTT, but I guess that's what they were going for. It does at least match the OTT action and gore. I thought it was great overall and actually being in this game is going to be bonkers!

IMissJimRyan320d ago

Yeah, I agree that storywise it's not an Oscar nominee, but it's like a porn movie in game format.

Abnor_Mal319d ago (Edited 319d ago )

Agree with the over the top script, and felt at the time that was the only thing that people were hyped about, the language and not game play.

But in vr this game is going to be great. It has everything that would make a great vr game. Lots of bombastic action, gunplay, blood, and that leash.

Looking at the gameplay now it seems that the game was ahead of it’s time and was perfect for vr before vr wasn’t even off the ground.

Venoxn4g319d ago

I loved the game back in the day and will love in VR even more!

Yui_Suzumiya319d ago (Edited 319d ago )

I got it on PS3 at launch and am still waiting for the long rumored sequel to finally be announced. Currently have it on Switch and wish a physical version of that would be released. Absolutely love it.

FinalFantasyFanatic319d ago

I actually feel like this game gets revived all the time, not that I hate the game, I actually quite like it, it's just constantly available, unfortunately I'm not a fan of VR so I'll be skipping this version.

Bloodborne is a game I still restart and play every few months. I would welcome just a re release in 60fps with a visual upgrade. It's a perfect game. If I was king for a day I would include the randomizer mods because then it would be a kind of rogue like and I could play it forever.

gleepot355d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
