Give me more: Games that need sequels
Category: Features, Posted: 05/17/2008 at 11:32AM CDT by Eddie Inzauto, Senior Editor
I've been thinking a lot about sequels lately, and how so many original games these days will eventually have at least one sequel somewhere down the road. It really doesn't matter if the game is good, great, mediocre, or utter crap, either, because sequels are low-cost, high-profit products. It makes a gamer really appreciate games that actually deserve a second, third, or even fourth edition.
I'm planning to spend a few weeks (maybe not all in a row) talking about sequels: games that need sequels, franchises that need to call it quits, exemplary sequels/series', and more are all on the menu. Today I'll begin with a short list of games that I feel are so worthy of sequels that it saddens me not to see them made. I hope and wish and dream that follow-ups for these gems will one day exist.
Click through to see a few games I want more of, and let us know which games you'd like to see sequels for, too.

KOTOR deserved a sequel but not what we got in KOTOR 2. KOTOR 3 I hope redeems the series.
I would love to see God of War 3, AND make it epic with a series ending story line. Going beyond GoW 3 would be just dumb.
Disagreeing that Rogue Galaxy 2 would be an epic win puts you in my demon book. That game just sweats 100% pure awesome.
I'd love an Legacy Of Kain 6. A lot.
Another Panzer Dragoon would also be nice.
Company Of Heroes either needs another expansion or a new game based on the Eastern European and North African fronts. Western Europe is boring.
I think a Opposing Force sequel would be awesome.
Opposing Force isn't canon lol
Seriously, though, that would rock nuts and answer some blistering questions.
Another Podracer game would be brilliant with next gen graphics... I'd love to see them really ramp up the destruction on the pods and make it look more like Episode 1... I recon they could almost directly copy the look of Episode 1 with current technologies.
Moar Tertis.
Seriously though, a sequel to Dark Messiah of Might and Magic would rule. The combat in that game was like sex.
this sucks, you already mentioned all the games that don't currently have an announced sequel that really need one.
Here's a list.
MDK
Little Big Adventure
Black
Adrian Shepard
Richocet
Dystopia
CNC: Generals / Zero Hour
007 game, but FPS again.
Yoshi
Vigilante 8
Revolt
Thats about it.
Medievil.
The psp remake made me a sad Panda.
Thanks for reminding me of Black, Coll. I was having a conversation just last night with a friend about how awesome Black was, and about how badly it needed a sequel.
"I'd love an Legacy Of Kain 6. A lot."
Indeed.
A new Rogue Squadron game for the 360.
Beyond Good and Evil 2.
Eternal Darkness 2.
Luigi's Mansion.
