Which Games Are LONG Overdue A Sequel?

BY GRANT TAYLOR: In the light of the Xbox Series X and PS5 announcements, we’ve also discovered a long list of new IPs along with them. The two video gaming giants are leaving nothing to chance, and both have teased a huge list of potential launch titles for their next-generation consoles. Aside from that, we’ve also seen a variety of returning classics, follow-ons, or a sequel for not-so-old games, like Horizon, Halo, or Resident Evil.

However, I’m of the firm belief that there are many games out there in the past that still deserve (or desperately need) sequels. The games featured below are some of the top titles that I personally feel are definitely overdue a sequel.

Rapid fire list, go!

I never played jak and dexter so I can’t comment on that game. I’m sure it’s good, somehow I didn’t play it. But ya know what? Sequel that bad boy too! I really miss all those games I’ve mentioned though.

V3geta1831d ago

They tried and no one bought it back in 2013.

Felix_Argyle_Catbro1831d ago

I don't think they have released any sales data for Thieves in Time.

RaidenBlack1831d ago

F.E.A.R. deserves a sequel and Quake deserves a reboot.
And obviously Splinter Cell and Time Splitters.

rpvenom1831d ago

Sigh.. can one even expect a GTA 6 to be released in the next year? Probably not..

MajorLazer1831d ago

GTA will probably release in 2024. ****ing painful :(

Atom6661831d ago

The fact that they couldn't even give a port of GTA5 at launch this Fall tells me that they will be looking at 2022 or 2023 at the earliest.

Now I wonder if the focus will be on porting Red Dead after GTA5 gets its port.

V3geta1831d ago

There was a 5 year gap between IV & V and another 5 year gap between V & RDR2, so if we go by that, then VI should release in 2023 or at the latest 2024.

Bobertt1831d ago

I think 2023 if they don't run into any problems. I think they will release GTA6 story first and then launch the online mode in 2024.

Let's just have a reality check: GTA 6 is NOT going to be the game OG fans expect it to be. It will primarily be a vehicle for GTA Online 2.

Kabaneri1831d ago (Edited 1831d ago )

They might combine it with the next gen port of GTA5 so its one unified GTA online with multiple cities. Now we know why we never got a Pro/OneX upgrade for GTA5, they want another $60.

Atom6661831d ago

Probably, but I have faith that all of this time and Red Deads critical and commercial success give reason for a solid SP experience.

I greatly enjoy GTA online with friends. It's popularity is deserving of it's own sequel, but I share in the disappointment that we may not see the amount of focus on the campaign that we hope.

Hikoran1831d ago

I do agree fully with the fact it's going to be GTA 6 online basically, but you're also right with the solid SP experience. However, Rockstar will just pump money into online as it pretty much was a licence to print money with V

V3geta1831d ago

I agree that Online will always be the priority post launch, but not having a massive single player component is too risky, as both V and RDR2's massive sales were mostly due to their single player stories.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese35d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde35d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast35d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake34d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow134d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown42d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8542d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown42d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8542d ago (Edited 42d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole41d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name42d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast41d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj42d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!

I believe it's been on ps+ a few times over the years of I'm not mistaking same goes for gamepass.

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos55d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto55d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

FortWaba55d ago

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

gold_drake54d ago (Edited 54d ago )

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

gamerz54d ago

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

Shiore2u54d ago

There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
