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!

[ilikestuff]

Road killers
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.

[UnSelf]

You forgot haze

[V3geta]

They tried and no one bought it back in 2013.

[Felix_Argyle_Catbro]

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

[RaidenBlack]

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

[rpvenom]

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

[MajorLazer]

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

[Atom666]

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.

[V3geta]

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.

[Bobertt]

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.

[EazyC]

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.

[Kabaneri]

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.

[Atom666]

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.

[Hikoran]

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

[V3geta]

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.

[notachance]

half-life..

[TeamIcoFan]

inFAMOUS.
Resistance.
The Order : 1886.
Lost Odyssey.

Just to name a few.

[DaReapa]

Heavenly Sword

[Zeke68]

Bloodborne and GTA imho.

[Vetalka83]

I dont even want a sequel for gta i just want it gone!Thats how much it disgusts me,and i'm a fan of everything before 5 came out.

[iplay1up2]

Why do you dislike GTA 5 do much? I played it for months. I can't get into it anymore, but a few years ago I really liked it.

[Vetalka83]

yeah i played it for months too but enough is enough ps3,ps4 and now i'm going to see this shit on ps5 every time i enter ps store,ugh fuck gta and rockstar.

[MajorLazer]

Too bad 5 has sold over 130 million copies and is not going anywhere

[rpvenom]

As much as I want a GTA 6.. i can't deny what rockstar has done with GTA online is short of incredible. They've provided so much content.. and unique content at that.. and no lootboxes and everything can technically be earned simply by playing.. I think rockstar did an incredible job and how a lot of GAS games should be handled.. I know it can be a bit of a grind to buy all the things you want but its still attainable and specifically chosen vs lootboxing. You also always get access to all new content for free.

[u-bEttA-rUn]

Warhawk needs to be remastered

[Kabaneri]

Skyrim came out in 2011, and since Starfield is probably releasing in 2022 we probably wont see the next Elder Scrolls till the end of next gen. Kind of ridiculous and I highly doubt the end product will be worth a 15 year wait.

[Atom666]

If all of their online stuff has helped fund new engines, than I definitely want ES and Fallout sequels.

If it's only minimal upgrades again, I'll reserve my hype for Obsidian and Outer Worlds 2.

And of course... GTA!!!
