10 Series That Need a Sequel

I love new IPs. There’s nothing like trying a brand new idea for the first time and loving it. However, once a new IP has been finished and put aside, it’s only natural to want to play more of that franchise, namely sequels. Some games get the sequels they deserve, some get way too many sequels (I’m looking at you, Guitar Hero), while others gets brushed under the mat, seemingly forgotten by the gamer gods. Some of the games I have listed below were more high-profile in their day, but all ten of these sequels are worthy of consideration.

Jade Empire was so awesome! Played it and loved it first on xbox1. Then it got Even better on PC with the MUCH improved graphics and butter smooth framerate! So of course I had to play it all over again with a new char.

good times!

[Cennus]

I really need to play Jade Empire. I had skipped over it but hear so many good things. I need to get on the ball!

[Skateboard]

Good list, mine would be.

God Hand

Jade Empire

Conkers

Legend Of Dragoon

Deadly Premonition

Darkstalkers

Bloody Roar

Nightmare Creatures

Final Fantasy 12

Jersey Devil

[NeXXXuS]

Legend of Dragoon please.
I would prefer a remake over a sequal though. You can't really touch the classics without ruining them these days.

[OhMyGandhi]

Great list!
I would love a sequel to "Armed and Dangerous".
one of the few games that made me laugh non stop all the way through it.

[OhMyGandhi]

Double Post...

oh well, I'll throw a few more beyond "AaD".

How about
Grim Fandango, Psychonaughts, Mirror's Edge, Psi Ops, Alan Wake, Jet Force gemini, BLACK, as well as LIMBO, IloMilo, and "Small Arms".

How about a new "Vigilante 8" or a Splinter Cell that goes back to it's damned roots for once?

for some reason, I am really drawing a blank. I really feel like last generation was going strong with new titles that failed to embrace this generation. It annoys me that a game must be a damned near breakout hit for a sequel...

[Skateboard]

I ###### love Vigilante 8. I wish I could go back and edit my comment.

[GTRrocker]

Zombies ate my neighbors...

[loltonytony]

You mean a good sequel? or a newer...one? Because there was Ghoul Patrol.

[dorron]

Heavenly Sword!

[stevenhiggster]

I would love more Heavenly Sword.
The first one didn't really leave any room for a sequel though.

So as much as I'd like a sequel I'd be worried it might not fit in with what happened in the first game so sadly they should probably leave it alone.

[ShaunCameron]

Unless the developers decide to make Kai the main character, I don't see any point in a sequel. A spirtual sequel would be more appropriate than a direct sequel.

[MysticStrummer]

Freedom Fighters

[stevenhiggster]

Another TimeSplitters god dammit!!
And it had better be as good as TimeSplitters 2!

TBH it's probably safer if they just give us an HD remake.

[BigManFanelli]

You know, I still haven't played Heavenly Sword...

And yes, I'm only admitting this because I'm "enjoying" St. Patrick's day, IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Love to see a sequel to Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

But I really want to see a sequel to Jet Set Radio Future.

[NukaCola]

Which one the sequel?

Jet Grind or Jet Set? Or were they both the same game. I totally forget..

I would love to see a sequel to Eternal Darkness

[TXIDarkAvenger]

The first game on the Dreamcast is known as Jet Grind Radio and Jet Set Radio. Then the sequel is just known as Jet Set Radio Future.

[Kingdom Come]

Gun.

[DigitalRaptor]

I approve of this. Gun was a great game.

[Instigator]

Kingdom Hearts 3 is way overdue, but there's no sequel I want more than TWEWY 2. Like the author it was recommended to me by a random internet stranger, and turned into one of my favorite RPGs.

[ZippyZapper]

Republic Commando and Advent Rising for me.

[Pintheshadows]

Sorry, double post.

[Pintheshadows]

Streets of Rage, System Shock, Freespace, Planescape Torment, Homeworld, Elite, Road Rash, Onimusha, Dino Crisis, Tenchu and Commandos.

[ElementX]

Whoever wrote this article needs to do a better job next time. If there is a single game, aka. Mario Time Machine or Jade Empire, it is not a series. The title mentions "series that need a sequel". Half of the games don't belong on the list.

[dreamoner]

kotor 3

the movies 2

neverwinter nights 3

age of mythology 2

carmaggedon

midtown madness 3? :P

nfs underground 3(with same quality and detailed modification for cars- as before)

mass effect 4 =)

[mynameisEvil]

Wow, The Movies. Man, I thought I was the only one who was thinking about that. But, really, it shows the amount of talent and expertise Molyneux has with these sim/Tycoon games. I really wish a sequel or spiritual successor of some sort would be made.

Neverwinter Nights 3, yes, please. Just no DLC, please. Same goes for KOTOR 3.

Midtown Madness 3 already exists...

[KMCROC54]

kotor 3

mass effect 4

Jade Empire(on xbox ? only)

[Tdmd]

I would have Soul Reaver, MDK, OddWorld, Skies of Arcadia, Grandia, Vagrant Story and Phantasy Star Online in my list (reboot, sequel w/e).

[rataranian]

I would want another: Chrono Trigger/Cross sequel, Act Raiser, some kind of new Blood Omen/Legacy of Kain game, Onimusha, Tenchu, Lufia, Lunar, ...the list is just to long to even go on.

[rhap]

A real Suikoden for PS3, Breath of Fire, Romancing SaGa (or SaGa Frontier), Ogre Battle, Streets of Rage, Toejam & Earl, Valkyrie Profile, Baldur's Gate, Crash Bandicoot, Wild Arms, Gex (come on, the green lizard guy was fun), Brigandine, a direct sequel (or prequel) to Final Fantasy Tactics, playing as a young Orlandu or something like that.

There are other games that I'd like to see a sequel, but those would be enough for now.

[iMpuTeD]

ya legend of dragoon has def got to be on here that game rivaled ff 7,8 and 9 imo.

[NeXXXuS]

Better than all FF games in my opinion (except for FFVI)
:P

[Tonester925]

DEF JAM FIGHT FOR NEW YORK!

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

Legend of Dragoon. Please make this happen.

[Rob946]

Shenmue 3
Timesplitters 4
That's all I want.

[jfinesse]

I know I'll get shit for this but...Brute Force. I wanna see what can be done with the IP now that developers have gotten a better hold on squad AI. Hell AI in general. Oh and a new Star Wars Republic Commandos

[Knightofelemia]

I would add Vagrant Story to the list and even a new Wild Arms game

[specialguest]

ActRaiser

[Neko_Mega]

I miss my copy of Jade Empire, that is one of the games I played alot of the old Xbox. Well until I got hook on to Halo with Halo 2 @_@
