View Full Version : Games you want Sequels to

This is a thread to discuss which games you would really like sequels to.

Please note that it should be a game that isn't popular enough for game developers to make or something of that sort. (Which means no Halo, GTA, or Resident Evil sequels) And of course, no already announced sequels.


Here are the five I would really like sequels to:

1. Stubbs the Zombie

2. Simcity 5

3. Psychonauts

4. World in Conflict (Expansion)

5. Company of Heroes (Expand the series)

I wouldn't mind a sequel to Outcast or the X-Wing series, as I loved them and the world it gave us.

But thinking about it, I love that some games don't have sequels. I really hope that games like Portal will never have a true successor, as I enjoy the fact that they're little flashes of brilliance that won't be diluted in future editions.

Please note that it should be a game that isn't popular enough for game developers to make or something of that sort. (Which means no Halo, GTA, or Resident Evil sequels) And of course, no already announced sequels.


So why list Sim City 5?

X-COM: UFO Defense has received a few sequels, though the last one came out in 2001 and wasn't all that good.

Here are some unannounced names I was thinking of.

1. Age of Empires IV: Age of Patriots
2. Freedom Force Future
3. Baldur's Gate III
4. The Legend of Zelda: The Wrath of Khan
5. X-COM: Fighting Back

And there's going to be a KotOR III.

I hope they leave Baldur's Gate alone. The story has been told, there is nothing more to add.

1. Dungeon Keeper
2. Startopia
3. Incubation
4. Albion
5. Z
6. Subculture
7. Master of Magic

And just to counter Kan's XWing...

8. TIE-Fighter!

Dungeon Keeper
Deus Ex

Alpha Centauri
System Shock (In space, not under water)
Baldurs Gate
Warcraft (RTS not MMO)

Regarding the last two games I think I'll be satisfied with Starcraft 2 and Dragon Agefor the ime being. Other games I'd like to see are probably already planned or under development (KotoR, Diablo).

Yeah, JA3... Ever since JA2Gold was released there have been JA3 rumours. Hope they release for it a change. JA2 was great (JA1 and especially JA: Deadly Games were even better), get it. That's mandatory if you like the first X-COMs.

Skies of Arcadia. For the love of god.

Can't believe I never thought of that one. This report (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3163790) gives a little hope, but I think a Skies of Arcadia sequel has been rumoured for years.

Skies of Arcadia is a rare example of a game that really could use a sequel. Haven't played it in forever, but the concept was pretty cool, and there's definitely room to add on to the world.

Personally, I would love to see a new Ogre Battle game. I think the OB saga started at episode 7 or so, and there's only been one true sequel, plus a couple spin-offs. The only danger is that it may end up another Tactics Ogre, which I feel is inferior to the original's game system.

Pokemon G/S/C. Not really a sequel but a remake without only better graphics and barely anything changed.

Quintillus

Minesweeper

They just came out with one in 2007. IMHO it's no better for it.

Hmm, I'm not a big fan of sequels - in my experience they usually are worse than the original. I probably would like sequels to:

*Age of Empires. AoE II is still fine, but the original is showing its age (pun not intended). There's many improvements that could be made, and not just graphical.

*Sim Copter. Again it could use both graphical and other improvements (with stability by far coming first in this case).

I'm sure there's a whole bunch of other really old games that would make for swell sequel material.

Games that I've been dissatisfied with sequels:

*Civilization III. It's very difficult to improve on near-perfection, and CivIV didn't even come close.

(yes I know this may be opening a can of worms)

*Railroad Tycoon II. It had so much content by the end that the newer versions entirely pale in comparison.

Games where I've been satisfied with the sequels overall but have found them lacking something awesome from the previous game:

*Age of Empires II. The third version lacks the totally awesome single-player historical campaigns. The fictional ones have 0.019% of the awesomeness. I guess the second expansion of AoE3 has historical campaigns but that's too far in...the first one has to has some. I don't care if they add more later, but don't exclude them from the first release.

*Battlefield 1942. Its successors don't have single-player campaigns.

Maniacal
Mar 30, 2008, 02:08 AM
Even BF1942's "single player campaigns" are poor campaigns as they are exactly the same as multiplayer except with bots.

We call it Civ2 ;)

*Battlefield 1942. Its successors don't have single-player campaigns.

Battlefield was never meant to be experienced as a single-player game, and even BF1942 shows that. What I would love however, is a new Second World War based game with the quality of BF2 (particularly the squad and talk system) with the '42 maps.

Like how the WW2 strategy game was overdone, then Company of Heroes came along?

Don't get me wrong, WW2 games in general are over-saturated, and it takes a rare game to break that. But Battlefield 1942 was brilliant, and I still play it just to fight those maps, and Battlefield 2 is brilliant, because it forced players together and focused them on achieving goals under an actual player commander with a decent ability to communicate with each other, it just lacked decent maps beyond Karkand and Jalalabad.

Combine them and you have a perfect Battlefield experience :)

Well, aliens invading the Earth has kinda been overdone (like in X-COM: UFO Defense and Half-Life 2). And so has rescuing princesses (Super Mario Galaxy and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and ICO). And so have wartime shooters in general (Battlefield 2 and Call of Duty 4, among countless others).

Just to ask anybody who played it, what was the story in Shadow of the Colossus? And in God of War?

On a side note, Swein never ceases to amaze me with his insistence on referring to critical reviews, usually in the absense of his own opinion. He kind of reminds me of the Oracle, from Mark Twain's The Innocents Abroad. In any case, we need to incorporate this into some kind of CFC Drinking Game.

It has to do with you running to IGN or Gamerankings to decide weather a game is good. There are cases where it might be important to bring up a review, but most of the time you bring up such sites it's not important. Form your own opinion and if you haven't played a game, just don't talk about it instead of running to IGN.

Generally, though, there's no reason to bring them up at all. I'd only bring up an article or game review if it's particularly insightful or somehow unique, and that doesn't happen very often.

Even BF1942's "single player campaigns" are poor campaigns as they are exactly the same as multiplayer except with bots.

I don't consider that a bad thing though. If there's a swell singleplayer map, I'll want to play it in multiplayer, and vice versa. It's certainly better than Battlefield Vietnam, where there's no campaign and just individual maps.

The gamerankings average for Civ3 is 89%. That doesn't sound like near-perfection to me. Even Age of Empires II has a higher average (actually, a higher average than all the Civ games except Civ4. Same with World of Warcraft, Shadow of the Colossus, Super Mario Sunshine, Rome: Total War, Call of Duty, Alpha Centauri, etc.)

:rolleyes: If someone played Civ3 and wasn't a fan of it, that's fine, but judging a game purely by some review is no indication of whether you'll like it or Perfection will like it or even if most people will like it. It's like movies; Citizen Kane gets great critical reviews but how many people consider it one of their favorite movies?

WHERE?! What is it like?

It's in Windows Vista. New graphics and it makes a big "boom" sound when you click on a mine. Here's a picture courtesy of Google Images:

http://www.4neurons.com/other/Vista/Minesweeper.png

I'm sure you could try it at any computer store. Kind of costly to buy though, I doubt you'll be able to find it for less than $80.

Battlefield was never meant to be experienced as a single-player game, and even BF1942 shows that. What I would love however, is a new Second World War based game with the quality of BF2 (particularly the squad and talk system) with the '42 maps.

Eh, back when I got Battlefield I didn't have regular Internet access, so single player was all there was. It certainly isn't brilliant single-player, but the way the maps are the advance/retreat dynamics work well (better than BF2 where you'll have random attacks on any old place), and you could have tons of bots (up to 64, compared to BF2's 16), so there were certainly bright spots.

And I've never played Civ2, perhaps it is the next step up from Civ3. It looks like I might get a chance to this summer though, maybe then I'll be a Civ2 Fanatic.

Oh certainly, and I did the same. I always wondered why they never took steps to improve the single-player experience in future instalments, even if only to allow you some off-line practice against a decent opponent. I remember playing the original Unreal Tournament a lot offline, and loving the bots.

The "best" game is just a matter of opinion. In my opinion Civ3 was better than those games simply because I enjoyed it a lot more.

OK, yes I was dumb (just tell me which parts you thought were REALLY wrong). If we want to play Civ, we can play Civ. I actually like Civ, just that my computer can go bonkers. My point, though, was that Civ4 put the series "on the map" (meaning "on the Top 100 at Gamerankings"), but yes, it is a little different from the previous Civ games. So much, actually, that people (like you) hate it because it doesn't feel like Civ. Which is why (Cleric, Princescamp, please come here!) game series like Mario and Zelda and Metroid and Pokemon get milked like that; because they don't want to lose that FEEL.

Anyways, has anybody here played Conker's Bad Fur Day (I haven't, I just heard it was a great platformer)? If so, did you like it? Do you think it should have a sequel (please note that the Xbox game was just a remake)?

Okay Swein, listen up.

If I bought my games according to your philosophy (skip everything with a <90% rating on IGN, Gamerankings or Iamastatisticsnerd) I would never ever have bought Steambot Chronicles. Your precious IGN rated it with a 73 and it's nowhere near the top-100 at Gamerankings. But you know what? That game gave me the greatest, happiest single-player experience on my PS2. And I own several of the must-haves (God of War, GTA:SA, GTA:VC, GT4, ICO) and if I have to, I can easily part with them, just let me keep Steambot.
Other examples are: Theme Hospital, GTA2, Gabriel Knight 3 and Moonchild (I'm not ashamed of that last title). And where the f*ck is Dwarf Fortress on Gamerankings? That's almost the best game I've encountered ever!
The opposite can also be true. I do not like Half-Life, Halo, Baldur's Gate, Crysis. And I don't care other people are nuts about them. Am I an outcast for not liking Halo? Am I a pretensious c*nt for disliking Half-Life? Am I a pathetic nonconformist by not playing Baldur's Gate? Really, I couldn't care less and I would never call fans of Crysis air-headed graphic-whores (no, really ;))

I don't give a damn about what other people think of games and how they rate them. Because I can think for myself. I only listen to other peoples advice if I know they have the same taste in games as me. (Actually, I think people should give up on rating games. Just write the damn review without using numbers, statistics are just pretentious lies ;))

I also ridicule those stupid lists you've been copy-pasting. Really, I don't give a crap if Zelda:OoT gets a higher ranking than Tetris or if Pong is being omitted or if Elite is dangling at the bottom or whatever. You can't compare them and they're all great. There is no universal truth about which game is the best and every debate about is a waste of time, energy, air and braincells.

Swein, taste is a very personal matter, so grow a brain and sort things out for yourself. If you want to follow the masses, by all means do so. Just don't report here. We already know what the mainstream likes and me in particular doesn't care about it. If you want to discuss certain games, by all means, do so as well. Just stop that "But IGN said" and "It's not in the top 100 at GameRankings" bullsh*t!

Now go make yourself useful and find us a never found before indie-jewel and enlight us. That would be interesting.


To get back on topic... Please, make a sequel to Steambot, I'm craving steam!

STTNG: Birth of the Federation. Best Star Trek computer game ever. The strategy is simplistic and game play admittedly rather repetitive, but there is nonetheless something endearing about this strangely stilted, Masters of Orion mutation from Microprose.

Space Rangers 2:

-Add a criminal underworld that you can interact with. You could be a ranger/mobster, even have your own goons.
-More text adventures, especially ones inspired by Futurama and OST.
-Ways to customize the appearance of your voxeled ship, including what you equip.
-Replace the RTS mode with deeper planetary battle models, including things that happen in normal game space.
-Do not have the overall plot involve invading machines or aliens. That universe seemed perfect for some crazy arse civilization-on-civilization conflict.

I'm sorry, it's just that I used to play games that most people regarded as "pathetic" but I didn't care. But others did, and they said stuff like "that game's boring". So I wanted to show them that I COULD play the greatest games. Also, with my GameCube, I probably ended up having like 25+ games, but it was never anything like Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, SF Adventures, Viewtiful Joe, Paper Mario, etc. Wind Waker and Paper Mario especially (and Pikmin 2), as they are rated E for Everyone, but I wasn't even remotely interested in Zelda games then and I just kept making do with crappy Sonic ones. And I played Paper Mario in a store and liked it, but then we just kept bringing the crap games. Same with my GBA; I never had anything like Fire Emblem or Golden Sun or Mario 3 or WarioWare or Advance Wars. And I know I would have loved FE, GS, and AW (I like Turn-Based Games).

Now, with my Wii, I own 6 games, and that number isn't likely to increase by much. With my DS, I have 3 games (1 crap Tony Hawk game, one average Super Mario 64, and one being the legendary Mario Kart).

As far as my PC, if I hadn't run to those websites, than I would have probably bought Empire Earth III for Christmas and then opened the box and found a handful of bugs.

Can't be arsed to mention the b****in' that's going on.

I suspect that the Civs rank lower on list's cause they are not so much a pick-up/put down game that some of the others that have been mentioned.

Come on, nobody's gonna say that 25 turns of an early game (let's say 30 mins) is fun, when all that happened was you discovered a couple of tech, you built a city or two, and with your warrior you discovered tile after tile of empty desert. Oh, and you saw a barb warrior, but it went away. Not the most riveting of games. In say, a TW game that's a couple of battles, and on a generic WWII shoot-a-German/Japanese you've allready single-handedly won a major battle :rolleyes: . (Is there a game played from the Axis point of view? If there is, please tell me!)

A civ game is often about really long-term planning - even TW's don't need that. By the end, I've often used loads of paper, making notes and working out stuff, like upgrade costs etc. That can really put off a fair amount of casual players. My nephew, who's gotten into civ this year, only plays the limited scens (like the WWII and the Zombies one) because he finds said planning off-putting.

I allways remember that a reviewer is just a person. Either a person who is doing it for their salt, who will be jaded and will be forced to pretend to have reactions to things they don't care for. Or they are a normal person, who usally will be writing a review about a game they either love to bits or want to shoot the designers. Or they are plants from the game companies.

When it comes to buying new games, I just take a look at sites like this. Places like this are built by people who give their own energy - and for me, nothing says 'I love this game!' than a well-run site, with enthusiastic posters and a healthy modding area. Even older games have this - I cite No Mutants Allowed (for the Fallout series) even though they've hardly had much new official game info to talkabout for years (until recently, that is)

I've never made a hedious mistake working on this method...yet. Using old-style reviews, I have.

That is when games like EUII start throwing random events at you, often ones you chose to get so ahead earlier in the game. But I do agree too many strategy games have already reached climax by the 50-70% mark.

Sorry for the late reply, doctor's orders to avoid computers as much as possible.

Yes, I use paper sometimes. Quite often it is making estimations of how much resorces/pop I'll gain from a qonquest, notes on my military preparations and
potentual gains from throwing myself into the Industrial Revolution, etc. Most often, they are timetables on when to move my units and where in a war. You may think this is exessive, but when this war involves around 7 different fronts and you move everything in manual, some planning is required.

I often play massive maps, and I don't let up on the ol' micromanagement just because I 40-odd cities - some 90% of the time there is at least 1 AI who is right on my heels, and it is usally a nation like the Zulus or Mongols (Nearly every game I play seems to turn into a bloodbath). Consistantly dominating the world in the Modern Age seemed to me to be a sign to up the difficulty. Although I do admit I do enjoy seeing 1940 fighting 1840 from time to time.

Thanks, I'll look into Red Orchestra. I was looking more for a game with more of a solo story mode though.

I do the paper thing sometimes, mostly for CoH, I usually do a really basic write up of the map on a paper and then do really scribbly basic plans on that. They have a mega-map in the game, but I cant draw stuff on it quickly, and it over informs me of the battle field, i just want the basics.

I'd actually like Earl Weaver Baseball to have a sequel (or, next in the series, rather). It's an old game from the late 80s (never played EWB II, but I heard it was worse). I have yet to play a baseball game that's even as good as EWB. Out of the Park comes close, but doesn't have an actual in-game simulation (it only uses a static background). It was probably the first game that even allowed you to really customize a stadium (one of the first to use polygons, and animated stands I think). That was a game that was ahead of its' time with all of the features it had. So far, every baseball game I've played either has bad play control, limited features, etc.

Sim Life and Sim Earth are getting their sequel - SPORE. :)

It was a rather obscure side scrolling game that had some "3D" aspects.

Yeah, Stronhold 2 has nice terrain, the buildings aren't as nice and the unit graphics are HORRIBLE. As well it was released telling you to download the patch... and there's still some bugs and problems although it has a couple of nice new features (like estates).

Stronghold is still the best of the series, Crusader seemed more like Age of Empires and lacked sieges.

I do believe there is a Fallout 3 - go to http://www.nma-fallout.com/ and see for yourself. It's no way gonna be like the old Fallout though - from the screenies I've seen I'd say it's more 1st-person perspective. That, and there are no groin shots (!) I'm also betting there will be no children at all - at least the last ones were badly painted over that a patch could set them free. It could be all some new vapourware - I just don't know. I also suspect it will be beyond the capabilites of my current PC.

Unless I'm living in a totally different world where Fallout is a entirely different game this will make sense...

1) The original Fallout had children in it. The company at the last minuite had them removed (I believe that some nations have laws against killing children, because that is why games like GTA do not have them at all) However, their way of removing them was to badly patch over the code just before shipping. Therefore, it proved very easy to bring back the children with a small patch. It's worse for Fallout 2 - the kids there were also removed, but their 'floating text' and their missions were still there. Simply put, they were still there, but you could not see them or talk to them.

2) You were able to take aimed shots with weapons. You could aim at Head, Torso, all 4 Limbs and Groin (or equivilant) This could come in handy if you want to cripple a man's arm when he is using a minigun (so he can't use it) or to blind someone so they can't shoot straight. You can cause extra pain by shooting 'down there' and so kill them quicker.

Wouldn't mind a new Kidd...

May 14, 2008, 05:42 AM
No groin shots, but apparently you'll be able to aim. Not sure how this works with real-time. I guess it will be like in Bioware RPGs and you'll be able to pause between "turns" and give nistructions.

I don't think Company of Heroes would work well in any era before World War 2. The way the game works with the idea of combined arms and tactics is kind of lost in the Napoleonic wars and the American Civil war (which is the war I assume you are refering to.)

A TBS version of StarCraft should come out for the DS sometime (just like Age of Empires II, though it would have a little less value since StarCraft still sells).

Though if anything, it would've been a better idea to make Age of Kings and SC on the PSP anyway.

I mentioned that game earlier, so no you don't win there!

And Mario should star in a strategy game, maybe make Super Mario Galaxy 2 a Pikmin-style game.

Hold on a minute, SMG was originally shown in 2000 at the GAMECUBE'S first demonstration. Okay, it was called Super Mario 128, and the mini-Marios there evolved into the pioneers of console RTSs following in James Bond's footsteps for Console FPSs.

What GoldenEye 007 did for the FPS genre, Pikmin 2 did for the RTS.

And there should be a Pikmin 3. And maybe F-Zero on the Wii as well. The only references to F-Zero on the Wii so far have been in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii.
