Needs a sequel?

I know this has probably been done before, but I really could care less. I wanna know.

What game really needs a sequel?

I would choose a Legend Of Dragoon sequel, because the game was just amazing. I suppose they could bring Dart back to maybe be the main character, or be a mentor. I mean, who wouldn't buy Legend Of Dragoon 2?

I've been kinda hoping for a well-done 3rd Chrono game. I loved Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross.

Then maybe a Drakan 3 too, but I'm not counting on that. The first two didn't sell very well, I'm afraid.

Clive Barker's Undying.
Not to mention that it had a sequel and a prequel planned storywise but never made enough for EA to think it deserved it, despite it's reviews. 😞 All the staff is long since gone their seperate ways.

Blood.
I would definitely like to see a Blood 3. More along the lines of the first game, not the second. It had some awesome level design with a campy horror setting that included alot of one-liners from some favorite B movies. I would like to see that redone with a next-gen engine.

Thats just some personal favorites that come to mind.

Bionic Commando. Really fun once you got the hang of using the bionic arm to get around. I think it did pretty well too, so it is rather surprising that Capcom, who loves sequels, didn't make another one.

Guardian Legend. I liked how it played, but they never made another one.

Quest For Glory 6!

I'd like to see a return to the adventure/puzzle genre a la Space Quest, Quest For Glory, Day of the Tentacle. I'd enjoy sequels to all of them, especially with updated hot stuff graphics. Can you imagine how cool Day of the Tentacle 2 would be in fully rendered 3D? [drool] I await the return of Hoagie.

Beyond Good and Evil, Beyond Good and Evil, Beyond Good and Evil!!!

I was going to say a REAL sequel to Chrono Trigger would be nice, since the CT related parts in Chrono Cross felt so forced that the game would've been better without them: however, nothing will top CT, and I think it would be best left alone.

OOh, and have this girl in it, with a funny name, that if you look closely, is very OBVIOUSLY Schala in disguise, and then Magus joins your party, only you don't know it's him either... ...ah, the places it can go from there.

anyways, Whatever happened to startropics? I would have loved to see a third game, maybe on the SNES. "Super StarTropics."

There was a very innovative game back in '85 that i believe needs a sequel. The game is called "Super Mario Bros." If you have ever played it, you would agree a sequel would be fun.

All truly great games deserve sequels. Even though some of those sequels may suck, it's worth the risk, in my opinion. My opinion is that if any game happens to stumble upon a truly great gameplay formula, then we, as players, will want to play more games like the one we fell in love with. Perfect example would be Super Mario Bros. "The Lost Levels" in my opinion was a great sequel to a great game. Sure, it was basically the same game with new levels for the most part, but the gameplay was so fun that it didn't need anything else, just something different, new challenges, whatever to keep the player occupied and avoid the boredom of playing the same levels over and over again.

Starcraft needs a sequel. Starcraft:Ghost doesn't count. I'm talking about a true, RTS Starcraft sequel. Can you imagine how good it would look with today's graphics? I would buy an entirely new computer purely for that game. I still play SC to this day.

I agree completely

I was thinking the same thing. It would definately have to be in the islands though, time-traveling between the random periods felt, well, random. They could have sea charts, and so as you collect them, new islands would become available (you would of course travel between them using the Sub-C). I think they could've even done it 3D, so long as they kept the top-down view so that the gameplay would feel similar to what it did in ST2 - despite my complaints about the story in that one, the gameplay really felt solid.

Super Mario RPG. The two Paper Mario games were great, but I want another one with Square-Enix and Nintendo, with Geno and Mallow. :drool:

King Link wrote:Skies of Arcadia. 'nuff said.

I agree. There was one in the works, but then Overworks got bought off Sega, apparently.
Eternal Darkness needs a sequel, and it needs to be harder. I unlocked eternal mode in a few days, which was good at first - pleased I could do it, but then I realised that the game wasn't much of a challenge. In fact, the only hard part was the Black Guardian Boss, and that was only if you didn't work out the strategy.

Tales of Symphonia also needs a sequel. Perhaps not so clich�d. Or even just another Tales game for the gamecube would suit me fine, as long as it had a similar engine.

However, it is my belief that companies ought to try out new franchises, like Billy Hatcher. I was glad that Sega tried something new - it didn't have to be great, but I always like a new game to play. Not that I'd object to any of the above sequels.

How could I forget such a thing. Even a compilation on GBA would be nice, with both 1 and 2. I have both, but like Cloral said, I like the island hopping aspect much better than the time-travelling.

Weren't they going to make another Pilotwings? I know they aren't working on one, but I thought I read that a sequel was always a consideration.

Secret of Evermore

And Earthbound. Earthbound itself was a sequel, actually, but I've played it's predecessor, and now I want that sequel that never came about.

Square-Enix did have a copyright for Chrono Break, but they ceased production and dropped the trademark.

...damn.

I also say Chrono Trigger. Such a greatgame. Then I play 10 minutes of Chrono Cross. Kid's a brat and the battle system makes me want to shoot someone, nothing at all like CT's system, which was amazing. We definatly need some better resolve to the events in CT.

CT's battle system was lifted from FF and was unextraordinary. What the hell are you talking about?

I really liked CC's battle system actually. It is rather unique and you really have to think about what you're doing on some of the tougher bosses, like that ass-face Miguel. Where the hell did he get that Holy Drag Sword from?

...but that's really all I liked about CC.

Being directly on the map made area a factor as opposed to, "We line up on one side, you line up on another, we fight", combination techs made for a more diverse team(a Crono-Marle-Robo team is actually quite different than a Crono-Robo-Magus for instance), and the line/area based moves (as opposed to, attach hits one guy or attack hits everybody). It took a good system, improved upon it, yet kept it simple enough to figure out quickly.

Earthbound 2 is for sure an interesting idea... If only it'd have not been cancelled... -.-

*shudders....* That was such a horrible battle. Then again, without the black dragon scale, so was Dario.

Chrono Cross wasn't that bad. I actually want to finish the game, but I can't because Disk 2 doesn't work. I need to buy another copy of the game.

Oh, and I've seen what Schala looks like in Chrono Cross. She didn't just change her hair, she changed her clothes and her eyes. What the hell?

I may get told off for this, but if you legally own Chrono Cross, you should be okay to download an ISO of the second disc as a backup copy. I won't link (PM me if you really need to), but have a look around.

I'd like a true sequel to Chrono Trigger, a Super Mario RPG 2, a decent Earthworm Jim game and a kick-ass X-Men RPG. Wait a second...
