Phil writes, "A successful game generally spawns a sequel. After all, if you made money off your first project, why wouldn't you want to follow it up? That's what many game publishers and developers do. While it's obviously always nice to see brand-new franchises pop up, that doesn't mean that the word "sequel" should be chastised or have people stick their noses up to. In fact, sometimes more of a good thing can be a great thing.
It's with that in mind that we take a look at some games that would be incredible to have sequels to. There are so many, really, that I could have a full month of articles on this subject, but like sequels themselves, moderation is key. When you've seen my selections, let me know if you agree/disagree, or which games you want sequels to badly!"
Jim Ward, the voice of Ratchet & Clank's Captain Qwark, has died aged 66.
Such a great, recognisable voice, from Captain Qwark to Doug Dimmadome Owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome, rest in peace Mr.Ward
Been replaying the R&Cs lately & the Qwark moments are guaranteed smiling ones.
A dark day. Rest in peace captain.
Insomniac has confirmed that a PS5 port for 2014's Sunset Overdrive is not currently planned due to a focus on Marvel's Wolverine.
:(
.
(well, they're likely also working with Nixxes for the inevitable Spider-Man 2 PC port as well)
Sunset Overdrive was great...
I quite enjoyed the Demons' Souls remake too. I'm more or less begging for a Bloodborne sequel but would snap up a remake in a heartbeat.
I’d rather play an older unique game than a new Marvel game.
Im so blown out on Marvel, I can’t fathom how some people seem to have a bottomless appetite for it. A studio like Insomniac could do way better.
Yep those poor devs are now a marvel sweat camp
This port and a quick pc patch to fix some bugs would have been a great idea i actualy forgot its not on ps5 you think it would have by now.
But hey they got like you said spiderman 2 pc port then spiderman 3 then spiderman collection with a wolverne/blade tossed in.
From everything we've seen, it's not like Insomniac is being forced to make Marvel games - it's clearly a good partnership that results in good games. They're still making Ratchet games anyway which is what really matters
I have no idea why people like you keep making lies. Does it help you sleep at night? Where are you getting this information that they are either being forced or made into a Marvel camp? Sony approach Insomniac when they were independent to work on a Marvel IP and they picked Spider-Man. After the success of Spider-Man, it was Insomniac who pitched Wolverine to Sony/Marvel and was given the green light

This is new…it pretty much confirms it can happen eventually.
I thought Microsoft had publishing rights or something
Yes you are right. Microsoft allegedly has rights to the first game. Perhaps Microsoft wasted to sell it back to Sony in exchange for a port to Xbox Series. This would make the statement make more sense because I can't imagine that a port of this game even compares to the creation of Wolverine. So Microsoft probably requested a multiplat port.
They do but Microsoft doesn't really care about the game they are considering Halo 1 for ps5 so this would be nothing
MS doesn't just have the publishing rights for SSoD, they also have publishing rights for the next 2 games in the franchise!
" The game was later pitched to various publishers, which rejected them because Insomniac demanded to retain ownership of the intellectual property. The project was later pitched to Microsoft Studios, which was eager to work with Insomniac. Microsoft allowed Insomniac to own the rights to the game"
Seems Insomniac own the rights after all...
@Zeke68
publishing rights is not the same as IP rights or ownership. for SSoD, Insomniac owns the IP, MS owns the publishing rights. just like Sony with Spider-man. Sony only owns the publishing rights to the movies and games but the IP is still owned by Marvel/Disney.
See my comment below. When Insomniac left M$ they let Microsoft keep their publishing rights for... drumroll... Xbox and PC.
If they want to release it on PS they can let Sony publish it.
“It is important to note that Xbox owns the publishing rights to Sunset Overdrive.
Therefore, a PS5 port would need to be approved by Microsoft.”
I said this eight days ago and got disagrees.
Most people dont read bro..
Had it been their IP through and through it would of been an easy release for them and its a fun game, probably would of already happened. The people saying no ones cares about Sunset Overdrive would be saying cant wait to play in 4K 60 if announced
"Most people dont read bro..."
"The game was later pitched to various publishers, which rejected them because Insomniac demanded to retain ownership of the intellectual property. The project was later pitched to Microsoft Studios, which was eager to work with Insomniac. Microsoft allowed Insomniac to own the rights to the game. Sunset Overdrive was made for Microsoft's Xbox One console; it was released on the 20th anniversary of Insomniac, in 2014"
What I read is that Insomniac still own the rights to the game. Prove me wrong! ;)
Edit M$ owns publishing rights on Xbox, not Playstation as they never intended to release it on PS ever.
Bounce back to Ratchet & Clank (2016) for its 8th anniversary! To celebrate, the Bouncer is now available to download at no additional cost.
They should update Rift Apart on PS5 it is broken we cannot finish it lost all weapons and even the ratchet...
I've got a platinum and done everything on two playthroughs have not encountered a bug like that
Will it happened to me.. and if you search people are experiencing it as well. Some suggest fix but didn’t work out for me ..
People disagree like i insulted their mother.. kids in here
"We?" Let's change to just "You" first before I can even take your comment seriously.
At home “we did” experience this.. i don’t care about you to include you in “we”..
I wish we got dlc for Ratchet and Clank Rift apart. I want more content for that masterpiece of a game.
yeah, would be great to have a story expansion or something for Rift Apart. with the Rift and multi-dimensional travel, there is so much potential left on the table. but I guess with the Spidey games doing bonkers and next, Wolverine, it will be some times before we see another R&C. oh...and RIP Resistance!
I know I just wish Sony would recognize and remember such a great JRPG franchise.
Ratchet and Clank technically already has sequels. The same could be said for Metroid Prime 3 via the other Metroid games. I personally, want sequels to Sunset Overdrive and Sly Cooper 3.
A Ratchet & Clank 2 would be awesome! One of the best games this gen. I would love to have a new Until Dawn and a new The Order.
An adventure style Bomberman is a great idea, its way more fun.
long story short: exactly no game needs another rehash
I think Valkarie Profile could use another sequel, also Final Fantasy Tactics, Dark Cloud, Super Robot Taisen as well.
