5 video games that desperately need sequels

Darryl Linington from ITF Gaming writes: Over the past few days, I have been running through my collection in order to experience some great classics that I have either finished 5x, or didn’t finish at all. Among the masses, I found 5 video games that desperately need sequels … Whether created for this gen or the next-gen, these games really deserve some form of a sequel.

Red Dead Redemption - No doubt has a next gen sequel in development.

Rage - Sold very badly so i doubt it will get a sequel.

LA Noire - The developers (Team Bondi) have gone bankrupt.

SuperBlur4261d ago (Edited 4261d ago )

from wiki so i dont know if it's 100% accurate

"After liquidation, Team Bondi's assets and most of its staff went to Kennedy-Miller Mitchell. Some of the former employees have gone to work in different Rockstar studios. Rockstar retained the L.A. Noire intellectual property."

I don't think we'll see a new LA Noire for another while but later down the road a sequel will surely surface.

InMyOpinion4260d ago

I relly loved Rage. Did not get all the hate for it. It looked amazing and was a blast to play imo.

Perjoss4260d ago

Apart from a weak ending it was a fantastic game! I liked that id leaned slightly in a Bioshock direction with an in game currency and the ability to sell loot and the simple crafting system, it added a hint of RPG to the game.

The card game in the bar was also good fun and I liked that you could improve your deck by hunting for new cards out in the game world.

I really hope we get a sequel.

bloodybutcher4260d ago

yeah, i've been curious about Rage. wanted to try it, especially now when it got so cheap. but still don't know if i won't be wasting my time.

Freak of Nature4260d ago

A new Red Dead Redemption sequel of some kind is a must IMO. It has been 3 years and 7 months since it's release.

If not, then the team behind RDR has to be working on something, I just wait and wait to hear something, hopefully "finally" something will come up about what "Team RDR" are up to.

Love to see what Oddworld inhabitants are up to new IP wise. Beyond good and evil 2 should be coming,at least last I heard. Dark cloud and legends of dragoon series would be great to see again.

I liked Rage. There was something unique about that game that set it apart. The racing mechanic was fun and when the graphical textures worked properly it was a pretty game. The ideal behind Rage was solid too, shame how it all turned out.

there are OTHER games too that need a sequel desperately

1-Shadow man (ps2 sequel sucked)

2-Body Harvest

3-StarFox

4-blast corpse

5-Conker Bad Fur Day

6-F-zero

Perjoss4260d ago (Edited 4260d ago )

If the WiiU had a new StarFox and a new Zelda or Metroid at launch things could have been VERY different. I'm sure there is a very good business reason why they save the big franchise releases for after a console launch but I don't get it personally.

Imagine if they timed the new console launch with all the major franchises from day 1, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Stafox, F-Zero, Pilotwings and throw in a couple of party games to keep everyone else happy too.

clouds54260d ago

1. Metroid Prime

2. Half-Life

3. Red Steel II (I'm probably the only one though :D )

4. Freespace

5. and I agree about RDR, but I still haven't played the first one :D What they should do is release RDR2 on PC with the first one together as a bundle.

Zack_Fair4260d ago

Lollipop Chainsaw. *_*
Loved this game.

FrostyZipper4260d ago

I'm not seeing Vanquish on that list.

I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2

OtterX8d ago

I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.

I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.

GamerRN7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

I've been waiting for 60 to finish the game myself

OtterX7d ago

hopefully we'll know by the end of tomorrow! *crosses fingers*

dmonee8d ago

My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.

Lionsguard8d ago

Give me my RDR2 Undead Nightmare already.

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Cacabunga10d ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

mkis0079d ago

I'm pretty sure the next game will be another prequel as the story really has no where to go as far as being a western after red dead redemption. The next game will end with the ferry boat incident.

Profchaos10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

thorstein10d ago

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.

Personally, I'd rank Pacific Rift in my top 10. It's the best of the series.

badz149114d ago

We desperately need Motorstorm back. Evolution is no more though and this makes me sad

Cacabunga114d ago

Sly Thieves in Time
Stay the Party
Portal 2
Dj Hero
Demon’s Souls
God of war Ascension

rudero114d ago

2 of those games got railed through the “gaming media” during release.
Sly and god of war.
Both of which were fantastic games.

Cacabunga113d ago

Ascension is VERY underrated. Remake please!

Venoxn4g114d ago

Decent list.. I would put the Castle Crashers as well..

1Victor114d ago

Yes it’s a decent list of popular games with a heavy hand on FPS and no Warhawk or Starhawk 2 of the best games (not sale wise) on ps3.
I would buy a Starhawk again even if it didn’t have a graphics upgrade hell I would even take a new one with micro transactions 😱🤯

Profchaos114d ago

I've noticed a recent nostalgia for the PS3 and I don't get it for me it's been my least favourite generation to date and I've been gaming since the NES I just feel like the ambition of the developers outweighed the capabilities of the consoles so I remember lots of games running in the lower end of 20fps range and I remember for the first time ever actually disliking the duelshock 3 and it's curved triggers

Sure there were some standouts and great games but that's the only gen I switched entirely to PC gaming

darthv72114d ago

Maybe the recent nostalgia is because pretty much all of its games are trapped on that console. People want to play them on more modern hardware. hell... if XB can do it then so can Sony. there are competent emulators out there that can run on PS4/5 hardware but Sony just wont let them become official... why is that?

If we are talking least favorite generations (personally) then this one is certainly mine. i had more fun playing 8th, 7th and 6th gen stuff than 9th. And it isnt like i dont have access to do so... the heavy hitters just havent shown up anywhere close to those previous gens. The few here and there just doesnt cut it compared to the likes of constant good games that showed up in 6th, 7th and 8th gen. hell.... I'll even throw in 5th gen has been better than this one.

Profchaos114d ago

I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.

I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64

I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.

But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.

The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.

Michiel1989114d ago

if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.

darthv72113d ago

Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.

coolbeans114d ago (Edited 114d ago )

The list is missing Folklore.
