Games deserving of sequels

Rii

Rii

Rear Admiral
Or dormat IPs that you'd like to see revived. Exclude titles released less than five years ago.

A few titles I'd like to see receive sequels:

Theme Hospital (1997, PC/PSX)
Pilotwings 64 (1996, N64)
Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries (2002, PC)
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge (2003, Xbox)
Sacrifice (2000, PC)
Forsaken (1998, PC/N64)
F-Zero GX (2003, GCN)

Fortunately not all such IPs are gathering dust, those currently in development that I'm looking forward to:

Starcraft II (PC)
Diablo III (PC)
Tropico 3 (PC)
Carrier Command: Gaea Mission (PC/X360/PS3)
 
Alpha Centauri (1999, PC)
Wing Commander 4 (1995, PC) [the horrible XBLA game doesn't count :mad:]
Freespace 2 (1999, PC)
Descent 3 (1999, PC)
Privateer 2 (1996, PC)

Descent 4 is supposedly in development, but Interplay isn't exactly... reliable these days.
 
Giants: Citizen Kabuto. But perhaps mix up the mission types a bit more next time....they got just a tad repetitive towards the end of the first one.
 
Crackdown!!! My favorite 360 game and I'm dying for more!!! I would love a next-gen Crimson Skies as well that was a very fun game with a very fun story.
 
Considering how Nintendo loves to franchise their best-known characters to death, I'm surprised they never made a Kid Icarus 2.

Blaster Master could use an update.
 
Games I´d love to see a(nother) sequel for:
- Sin
- System Shock
- MDK
- Cybernator
- Hellgate: London (but this time done right)
- Dead Space (but this time with controls that actually work on the PC rather than a simple port from the console version)
 
Monkey Island

King's Quest

Space Quest

I rue the death of the 'Clicky Adventure' genre :(

Oh, and also X-Wing. Heck, just remake the original X-Wing and TIE Fighter (again) for modern computer equipment, that would probably be good enough.

Whoever said Privateer was also spot on.

Oh, and back to 'Clicky Adventure Games', Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and Star Trek: Judgment Rites were fantastic back in the day. Could use some more of that.

I'd like to see more from the Wing Commander series (along the lines of 1 to Prophecy & Privateer), maybe a Freespace 3 and Starlancer 2 too.

Another ST: Elite Force game and Aliens game (or AVP3) would be welcome. I also wouldn't mind seeing a decent PC Terminator FPS (Remember Future Shock?).

There's probably others that have slipped my mind at the moment.

Agreed. Although there was X-Wing: Alliance, which put you in the role of a neutral group forced to choose sides in the Galactic Civil War (guess which side you end up with, though... ;)) which worked on Windows 98 based computers (couldn't get it to work on XP) and was pretty well done overall.

It did have the best training assault course of all the X-Wing games, though. :bolian:
 
Hmm, good one. Let's see:

- Streets of Rage (although I'm afraid of what Sega would do with that looking at what they've done to poor Sonic): I'd like another game in the series that harked back to the first game which I always thought was just incredible fun to play, especially in two player mode.

- Stunt Island: I absolutely adored this game and the freedom you had to stage, film and cut your own action movies. I think it was way ahead of its time in many ways. And it's a shame there's never really been anything like it again.

- Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis: I really, really loved this adventure and its story (I'm looking at you, Crystal Skull!!!). What would be amazing is to have another 'classic' adventure game set in the world of Indiana Jones but also modern (whatever that means, I'm not quite sure).

- Twisted Metal 2: I really, really had huge fun playing this in two player mode. I'd love to see a sequel in the spirit of the second game since I really didn't enjoy the other entries as much.

I'm happy that the long-overdue Starcraft sequel is on the way. And I really wish there was a worthy sequel to the first two Sonic games...
