COGconnected: Some sequels come as a result of the artists behind it truly believing an IP deserves a second chance, could be improved with just a few small tweaks, or is indeed good enough to warrant a sequel. These ones do not.
Loads of people did. Loads of people also played it on PS+.
Although, I don't really know what the actual numerical value is of a load, unless it's the kind of load that we usually see used to criticize Sony or its games.
I think people probably wouldn't even pay attention to it at all. There is no denying that exclusives do get a bit of a bump in notoriety. Same could be said for any number of mid-tier game which is multi-plat. It doesn't really get that much attention outside of an announcement, maybe an occasional screen shot or marketing blurb, and then some reviews on release. Quite a few mid-tier titles that are exclusive...especially those from 1st party, get a lot more attention.
That being said, the first one was pretty fun for a launch title. The second one was really good, although still had some room to do things better.
Yeah, but I never would have asked for a sequel to any FF game, because they almost never happened. Maybe some side stories, but FFX-2 was the only direct sequel, and it wasn't very well received, although not really all that bad. Funny enough, FFXIII built on the battle switching aspect of FFX-2.
That being said, I did like XIII-2, and even FXIII once I stopped seeing it as a FF game. LR was a good game, just a convoluted and stupid story which pretty much threw out all the lore of the prior games, which was already changed up for XIII-2.
I think the top sequel nobody asked for was Nier. Despite how well Nier Automata did, the original barely got anybody talking about it. I don't think there were many asking for sequels for it. After they announced it, a lot of people were excited, because Nier was good, but not many were asking for it before that. I'm glad they made a sequel, because I do like the Drakkengard series, and loved Nier Automata.
Loads of people asked for a sequel to Knack, including myself.
The first game was good fun, clearly rushed for launch, but a good launch title for PS4.
The great dunk spoke, and knack 2 was goty before it even dropped. Spaghetti. Meatballs. Puerto Rico.
Knack 2 and Kane and Lynch 2 were so good
Cool article though aha mostly all true.
Still waiting for Kanye and Lynch 3 to solve that insane cliffhanger ending
I will always want more Naughty Bear. Those games are like bad SyFy movies, just so awful but so fun.
Knack 1-2 was Fantastic...,.... hope Knack 3 being developed.
Can't wait for Ratchet and clank 2
Ps4
