5 Sequels That Need To Be Made

Cashing in on the popularity of games is perhaps as old as games itself but there are so many beloved titles out there that never got the sequels they so rightly deserved, so in this article we'll take a look at five games we would kill for.

marionz7132d ago

i just gotta jump in and add that this article says alan wake is coming for xbox360 & ps3...butwe all know that its only on xbox and pc

UrbanJabroni7132d ago (Edited 7132d ago )

THESE are the five sequels that NEED to be made? Is whomever wrote this article seven years old? Have they played a video game made before 2002? Max Payne THREE over a sequel to, say, Kid Icarus? Carmageddon 2 over, I don't know, anything. Soldier of Forune over, let's just take a stab, FALLOUT 3?

These sorts of articles are usually fun because they stir up a sense of nostalgia for the GREAT games. Given that I'm staring at the case for Max Payne 2 right now, I don't know if I'd consider that a sequel that NEEDS to be made.
There isn't even one that is "sort of" an interesting or creative choice. I would imagine they are just the only games the author has purchased over the pasy couple years.

You want to go really old school, haha? How about sequels to Thexder and Barbarian. I could go for another Hero or Space Quest too.

In more recent games, I would love to see a sequel to Metal Arms: Glitch in the System.

THWIP7131d ago

Here's my list:

1.) Beyond Good & Evil 2
2.) Thief 4
3.) Crimson Skies 3
4.) Ico 2
5.) Condemned 2
6.) Chronicles of Riddick 2
7.) Deus EX 3
7.) Perfect Dark 2 (Zero didn't cut it)
8.) Red Faction 3
9.) Smuggler's Run 3
10.) Primal 2

Kingpin and Soldier Of Fortune were great games for their time and next generation version of those type games witht he realistic violence and gore would be awsome with the technology available. And for people that are against violent video games just dont buy them. Its very simple

Mason7132d ago

Yea, Max Payne over Kid Icarus? If any game needed a sequal it was that one. Oh haow about a new Battletoads, Kights of the Round, Gunstar Heroes, Duck Hunt, Earthbound, Bonk, Vectorman,Intellegent Cube, Antisapation, Super Puzzle Fighter,KaBoom, M.U.L.E. (Yay green flapper), Double Dragon,Golvellius, and many many others

FadeToBlack7132d ago

Just what we need are sequals of Battletoads, duck hunt, intelligent cube, super puzzle fighter, lol.

death monk7132d ago

oh man I forgot all about Gunstar Heroes and Vectorman. those bring back memories.

G_CodeMonkey7131d ago

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle15d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde21d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy22d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12521d ago (Edited 21d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga23d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199222d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga22d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman22d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger22d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box23d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion22d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7223d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7523d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit23d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14923d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7723d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
