Sequels that your heart needs but never happened
- Thread starter Muntaner
- Start date
A proper finished sequel, one that's DRM doesn't make it impossible to play the full game and doesn't make half the cast tall humans.
Skate 4. I played through all three this past year and they're still great, but the new consoles could make it all so much smoother.
It's weird that the mammoth lifetime sales of THPS didn't inspire more to try the genre this gen
Mostly killed by...umm...THPS5 I suppose but it's not fair considering it was just passed cheaply to Robomodo
Skate was great
I'll probably cop crap for this, but as a sidenote I really wanted a sequel to MGS2 that continued with 'that' Snake
MGS2 felt a natural successor to 1. MGS2 escalated and ended on a big twist and a wistful, positive thinking still youngish Snake
MGS3 obviously wasn't that Snake, MGS4 may as well have been a completely different Snake and MGS5 was completely removed really from what 2 was.
Secret of Evermore 2
A new Secret of Mana game.
A new Quintett game in the line of Soul Blazer, Illusion of Time/Gaia and Terranigma.
And since no one else will say it:
Silver 2

Yes!
No!
Metroid 5.
I want Samus to get hunted down by the Galactic Federation and their army of Samus Clones and Metroids.

I'll always be crushed that a traditional Sleeping Dogs 2 never happened.
I can't blame United Front if they didn't have the drive to make another huge single player game, but man Sleeping Dogs is my jam. I still think its combination of game systems have a greater cohesion and interlinked form factor, expressed in variances through the mission design, than anything in Grand Theft Auto and other much more popular sandbox games. Sleeping Dogs really hit a perfect sweet spot for what I want from these GTA-like games, and I feel United Front deserve an enormous amount of praise for realising what was a complex vision (given game system variety). Moreover, they chose a protagonist, supporting cast, and setting the likes of which we so rarely see in the medium. How many games are set entirely in Hong Kong? How many Western narratives have their cast voiced by Asian actors, appropriate for Asian characters?
It's just such a marvellous game that, for me, showed what can be accomplished in the modern-city cops-and-robbers sandbox game template when we're not circle jerking Rockstar. The latter has the budget and manpower to blow us away with asset detail and complexity, and an absurdly gorgeous engine, but Sleeping Dogs easily wins out for just all round better, more ambitious game design as far as I'm concerned.
The DLC was a lot of fun too, with United Front explicitly letting seriousness take a backset for mission arcs themed around supernatural and cheesy kungfu elements. Except for the last DLC, which was a legitimate epilogue.
So yeah. Really sad with how Sleeping Dogs will forever remain sequeless. It's still my gold standard for that specific style and genre of game.

Everyone saying Half-Life 3, Klonoa 3, and Dark Cloud 3: seconded!
Don't know if it counts, but I would love a prequel for the original NieR.
Some other sequels I would like to see would be for Halo 3: ODST and StarTopia.

Dark Cloud 3 :[
I think the gaming landscape has moved on from that specific style of dungeon crawler but I'd love to see Level 5 incorporate the building/weapon system from DC2 into their other games. They've kinda done that with Ni No Kuni and Rogue Galaxy but I don't enjoy the core loop of either of those games.

Kinda torn on this one. It's one of my favorite series and I would definitely like more, but only on the condition that Amy Hennig write and direct it, and I just don't think that's going to ever happen. If it's going to get a complete resolution, she should be the one doing it. Outside of that, over the years I've come to appreciate the ending of Defiance quite a bit; yeah it's open-ended, but it closes on a nice, bittersweet note that really hit home for me.
Gabriel Knight 4. Unfortunately it seems that Activision doesn't have any interest in making it happen. (I guess the GK1 remake didn't sell well enough)
Also this is much more far-fetched but I really wish we'd get a sequel to Looking Glass' Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri.
