Top 5 Games With Female Protagonists That Need a Sequel in 2012

GR's DeShaun Zollicoffer write:

While thinking about games that I wanted to see sequels for in 2012 I noticed something interesting. Most of them had females for main characters. So instead of coming up with a convoluted conspiracy theory that no one would understand (myself included) about why female protagonists aren't getting the sequels they deserve--I came up with this list.

almost perfect list.. needs only new Metroid 3DS and new Metroid Wii U :)

:( I miss Nariko and Kai. One of my favourite new IP's this gen. A real pity how NT abandoned HS. Why haven't SONY made a sequel yet? HS sold a ton and deserved a sequel alot more than Motorstorm Pacific Rift in my opinion.

MrWiggle4916d ago

The thing is if they do a sequel I want Nariko to be in it again, if you've played HS and saw the ending then you know why this could be a problem.

I mean theres the people who like Kai saying "Oh we could play her in the sequel" but to be honest I don't know if I could play an entire game playing as Kai...she would get annoying. Besides Nariko, despite the one game, has established herself as a great female character so I hope they find a way to have her as the lead.

I mean NT were going to have the sequel set in hell as an open world game featuring Nariko so theres always a chance but since NT has become greedy and wants more money they decided they'd rather drive the Devil May Cry series into the ground and become one of those most hated developers.

"The thing is if they do a sequel I want Nariko to be in it again, if you've played HS and saw the ending then you know why this could be a problem."

that's exactly why i feel HS doesn't need a sequel. imo it wouldn't be a true sequel without Nariko as the lead, but the ending closed any real possibility of her returning.

Bundi4916d ago (Edited 4916d ago )

*Spoiler Alert* Kratos comes back from the dead every other Wednesday, I'm sure they could cook up a way to have Nariko come back. She died from the Heavenly Sword draining her life force right? Have it give it back so that she can dispense of one more world threatening villain. Then at the end of the game give the sword to Kai and have it take her life force instead because I'm not watching Nariko die again.
Seriously though, it's a story based in fantasy and magic, it wouldn't be far fetched at all if she was somehow resurrected or re-born.
@jt. Actually the story was meant to be a trilogy, the script for the sequel was in fact already written by NT.

jthamind4916d ago

i disagree that Heavenly Sword needs a sequel. it's a game that stands on its own--the story was told and left no openings for another game. yes, they COULD pull something out of their ass if they forced it, but i think the game is better left alone.

i would like to see a Mirror's Edge sequel. i loved the gameplay and want more of it.

Relientk774915d ago

I would love Beyond Good and Evil 2

DaReapa4915d ago

This was a great list. I haven't had much interest in a Nintendo console since the N64, though I owned a GC for a brief period of time. But if Nintendo were to announce Eternal Darkness 2, I would get a WiiU strictly off that game alone.

I could definitely see a Bayonetta/Dante game. Imagine them initially battling each other before eventually teaming up to take on the big baddies. Now, imagine what their child(ren) would be like.

-Foxtrot131d ago (Edited 131d ago )

Bayonetta and Dante I could see but even then with how their lore differs it's a hard sell. For the others...I just can't see it at all.

I feel he's just saying whatever comes to him online

jwillj2k4131d ago

Same universe doesn’t mean same world or galaxy

SeTTriP131d ago

Bayonetta is a witch who enter contracts with demons for power and Dante is a demon, not really hard to connect.

They could even write in an alliance between the umbra witches and sparda.

-Foxtrot131d ago

On the surface yeah but the actual lore the two games have given us if you go into it...not so much.

micdagoat19131d ago

would be great if switch 2 upgrades resolution and frame rate on bayonetta 2

EA Cut Dead Space's Marketing Budget to Pour Into Mirror's Edge Due to Mock Review Scores

Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.

Knightofelemia178d ago (Edited 178d ago )

I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.

goken178d ago

Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.

Pyrofire95178d ago

Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

chicken_in_the_corn178d ago

The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.

__y2jb178d ago

I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.

I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .

Inverno177d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex177d ago

I'd rather see a new and great Mirrors Edge than another boring Dead Space.
