5 Sequels That Need To Be Made

Cashing in on the popularity of games is perhaps as old as games itself but there are so many beloved titles out there that never got the sequels they so rightly deserved, so in this article we'll take a look at five games we would kill for.

i just gotta jump in and add that this article says alan wake is coming for xbox360 & ps3...butwe all know that its only on xbox and pc

THESE are the five sequels that NEED to be made? Is whomever wrote this article seven years old? Have they played a video game made before 2002? Max Payne THREE over a sequel to, say, Kid Icarus? Carmageddon 2 over, I don't know, anything. Soldier of Forune over, let's just take a stab, FALLOUT 3?

These sorts of articles are usually fun because they stir up a sense of nostalgia for the GREAT games. Given that I'm staring at the case for Max Payne 2 right now, I don't know if I'd consider that a sequel that NEEDS to be made.
There isn't even one that is "sort of" an interesting or creative choice. I would imagine they are just the only games the author has purchased over the pasy couple years.

You want to go really old school, haha? How about sequels to Thexder and Barbarian. I could go for another Hero or Space Quest too.

In more recent games, I would love to see a sequel to Metal Arms: Glitch in the System.

THWIP6800d ago

Here's my list:

1.) Beyond Good & Evil 2
2.) Thief 4
3.) Crimson Skies 3
4.) Ico 2
5.) Condemned 2
6.) Chronicles of Riddick 2
7.) Deus EX 3
7.) Perfect Dark 2 (Zero didn't cut it)
8.) Red Faction 3
9.) Smuggler's Run 3
10.) Primal 2

Kingpin and Soldier Of Fortune were great games for their time and next generation version of those type games witht he realistic violence and gore would be awsome with the technology available. And for people that are against violent video games just dont buy them. Its very simple

Mason6800d ago

Yea, Max Payne over Kid Icarus? If any game needed a sequal it was that one. Oh haow about a new Battletoads, Kights of the Round, Gunstar Heroes, Duck Hunt, Earthbound, Bonk, Vectorman,Intellegent Cube, Antisapation, Super Puzzle Fighter,KaBoom, M.U.L.E. (Yay green flapper), Double Dragon,Golvellius, and many many others

FadeToBlack6800d ago

Just what we need are sequals of Battletoads, duck hunt, intelligent cube, super puzzle fighter, lol.

death monk6800d ago

oh man I forgot all about Gunstar Heroes and Vectorman. those bring back memories.

G_CodeMonkey6799d ago

The Evil Within Deserved More: A Great Horror Series Left Behind

The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.

An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.

I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.

Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.

Love both games, hope that we will get third game

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

Cacabunga20h ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati19h ago(Edited 19h 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?

mkis00712h 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.

Profchaos21h ago(Edited 21h 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

thorstein18h ago

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

XBLA Classic 'A World of Keflings' Is Coming to Steam, and There's a Demo

"Back in the innocent days of 2010, A World of Keflings was a fairly popular successor to A Kingdom for Keflings. I even wrote about it a few times in 2012! But the world of humans moved on, and NinjaBee's city-building/adventure game was last seen on the ill-fated Wii U in 2014. Fast-forward to the dark year of 2025, and not only is A World of Keflings coming to Steam, but there's already a playable demo! Perhaps the cheerful, no pressure gameplay that the Keflings bring is just what we need nowadays," says Co-Optimus.
