Sequels are a dime a dozen today, yet there are many games out there, which have seemingly not received a deserved sequel. In some cases it is because the game is a self-contained experience and in some cases it is because the game is a commercial failure. This Top 5 focuses on those games that were critically well received but unfortunately didn't do so well commercially. Each of the Top 5 has had a whisper here and rumor there about a potential sequel, but thus far the sequels are still M.I.A.
The creative director of Ubisoft’s long-in-development Beyond Good & Evil 2 has spoken for the first time since the company’s ‘major reset’, reassuring that development of the game is progressing.
No fan wants that BS, we wanted a sequel not an MMO spinoff with an "Evil Jade" cameo
I love how they only added Jade like a year later through a CGI trailer to hush up the complaints about it being a prequel without Jade
Only to show Jade who's now evil creating a massive timeline issue as it makes no sense.
It's been in development for 15 years and counting. So, who cares, really? Say whatever you want. It's completely meaningless.
With a huge library of canceled games for the PS2, just like the PS1, there’s plenty of unanswered questions of what could have been when it comes to the PlayStation 2.
Okay these games need to come out either steam, kickstarter or selling the rights or code in your old hard drives or give permission for smaller studios to do these games. Starcraft ghost cough Blizzard.
Canceled ps2 game list without scarface 2. Wtf.
Speaking. Anyone have a fat ps3 available with complete backwards compatibility hit me up in dm I'm looking for one.

Nightmare Creatures3! Was there a Nightmare Creatures2 I’ve been unaware of all these years?
This year promises to be a big year for gaming, and it will definitely be one of the greatest if any of these big MIA projects finally made it into gamers' hands.
Pretty sure Silk Song and Dragon Age are going smoothly. The other 2 can be assumed to be quietly cancelled knowing their publishers and Metroid will most likely be shown off this year.
Dragon Age going smoothly??? Directors leaving, people leaving in general, terrible working conditions....not sure how you define smoothly.
I remember in 2017 when Nintendo showed off the Metroid Prime 4 logo, and some Nintendo defenders claimed "Just because they only showed a logo, doesn't mean that's all they've worked on for the game."
As history has proven, they were wrong. Nintendo showed off a logo back in 2017 because that's literally all they had.
I think Beyond Good and Evil 2 can stay there unless they are going to just rename it to a new IP
Pretty sure BG&E2 is dead at this point - along with the other game Ancel was working on before he left - I think it was called WILD. Anyone remember that from a PS conference years ago?
Dreadwolf isn't in development hell anymore and is finally getting its reveal in the summer - since 2016 the game has been scrapped and restarted three times but its been going pretty well since the last reboot when EA finally allowed BioWare to just get on with making a single player game.
I'm not sure Perfect Dark is in development hell either - like it could be but we haven't really heard much to suggest either way - imo they just showed the trailer off when the game was still in pre-production. Xbox were desperate for anything and this is all they had at the time. And the reason we haven't heard anything since is just because it's in normal development and games take 5 years to make. The help from a support studio was typically overblown on N4G because nearly every game has this.
Great list, I agree 100%. Good games like this don't get sequels, yet frankly crap games like Driver, Dead to Rights and True Crime, none of which anybody was crazy about to begin with, do.
Exactly. It is a sad truth about the industry but I am still optimistic that at least some of those games will get sequels...eventually.
freedom fighters speech at the end is EPIC!
Almost all of those games have great endings and yes, the Freedom Fighters speech is indeed epic. I actually want to go back and play all of those games now.
GREAT LIST
