Greatest game to never have a sequal?

[Savio]

I'm sure you guys might mention something better than this but I really wish they made a "Warriors 2" to introduce us to some new gangs and further the story.

[whiteyford]

Was going to post Warriors when i saw the thread title.

[dronepool]

I'd buy Warriors HD on PS3. It was one of the most fun games on PS2 with cheat codes or without.

They need to at least do that.

[Pintint]

Does Baldurs Gate II count? Its the second in the series, but it never goy a sequel :shifty:

[G]

Mirror's Edge

[El Fangel]

Anyone saying anything besides Legend of Dragoon needs their head examined.

[G]

You'll first have to tell me what Legend of Dragoon is.

[El Fangel]

One of the most underrated RPG's the PS1 had. Great battlesystem, variety of characters and story. Don't get why more people never played it.

Seriously, get it and play it somehow, you won't regret it.

[ozzman6669]

Bully 2 would be great, or at least a ps3 version of the first one

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The three I would mention (Psychonaughts, Deadly Premoniton and Mirror's Edge) all allegedly have things in the pipeline. Here's to hoping.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Hated Legend of Dragoon. It's the most enforced grindy JRPG of all time. You can't take two steps before being bored to tears by yet another random battle.

[G]

Bully 2 would be fabulous

[DLVH84]

Fist Of The North Star for NES

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Just thinking about the ridiculous frequency of Legend of Dragoons battles made me think about Skies of Arcadia, since that was pretty frequent, but not nearly the farcical amount LoD gives you.

Damn, no Skies of Arcadia sequel :'(

[CSL]

Heavy Rain

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Lost: Via Domus

[itsmeJD]

Heavy Rain

LOVED Heavy Rain. Never thought I would, but damn if it didn't hook me in almost immediately. Would love to see a sequel to it.

[CSL]

guy that is "responsible" for it says he has no interest in making one :-\

[El Fangel]

Damn, no Skies of Arcadia sequel :'(

Not sure off the top of my head, but I believe there was an ability or something that reduced to the amount drastically.

I only remember absolutely loving the battle-system.

[Mooияakeя™]

One hell of a question... Will have to come back to this.

[Lavel]

Definitely Legend of Dragoon.

[Emperor Smeat]

Beyond Good & Evil

Was Chrono Cross an actual sequel to Chrono Trigger or just used the Chrono name like how some Final Fantasy games were not sequels or related to other FF games?

I'd nominate Conkers Bad Fur Day but no way Rare could ever make a great sequel with the current state they are in. Eternal Darkness and Psychonauts are another but both have teased a sequel being possible.

[El Fangel]

I know it's recent but I will be severely disappointed if we don't see a Red Dead Redemption 2.

[The Destroyer]

Mirror's Edge

I thought it was supposedly still in development?

[Ultra Mantis]

Grim Fandango

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Lost: Via Domus

That end :wtf:?

[Hanso Amore]

Red Dead Redemption is one of the best games of all time, and will never get a "TRUE" sequel. But that is ok, as the story doesnt allow one. But I am sure they will make a new installment, sort of a spiritual successor.

I fucking loved Castlevania Lord of Shadows, and really want there to be a sequel. GREAT game. Superb voice acting. Patrick Stewarts voice made my dick trickle.

Legend of the Dragoon was good.

Final Fantasy Tactics and Ogre Battle 64 were two more of my all time favorites that never really got a sequel.

[VSG]

Does Half Life 2 count? :'(

[DAMN iNATOR]

XIII
Comix Zone

[Sepholio]

Rogue Galaxy

[Kane Knight]

Zombies Ate My Neighbours...Did it ever have a sequel?
Skies of Arcadia.

[mitchables]

Beyond Good & Evil


Grim Fandango

Those.

[BigDaddyCool]

Tetris

[Eklipse]

Tetris

There was a "Tetris 2" on SNES, I believe.

I don't think that games that are sequels should count.

As for my answer...Duck Hunt. :)

[Pintint]

I know it's recent but I will be severely disappointed if we don't see a Red Dead Redemption 2.

I dont think it needs a sequel. The story wrapped up perfectly. Any sequel, imo, would seem forced and has potential on ruining the original, perfect, story arc.

[G]

I just want more gameplay in that awesome environment. Doesn't have to be about the Marston's, and I def don't want more of Jack.

[Immortal Moose]

A lot of people talk shit about it, but I would love for the Too Human trilogy to come to fruition.

[El Fangel]

Basically this, but if it were Jack with a less annoying voice, I wouldn't have a problem with it. Would be kinda neat if they re did the map but have it more industrialized like it would have been in the 20's and 30's.

Bigger towns, actual roads maybe even automobiles. Think they really could do amazing things with it.

[G]

A lot of people talk shit about it, but I would love for the Too Human trilogy to come to fruition.

I loved that game. :(

[Kane Knight]

I'd love to see more light gun "style" titles. Especially with two consoles having add-ons that could do it either out of the box or with their add-on. Less sure about the 360.

Also, there's been like 30 Testrises.

I dont think it needs a sequel. The story wrapped up perfectly. Any sequel, imo, would seem forced and has potential on ruining the original, perfect, story arc.

Red Dead was a sequel in and of itself, you retard. It basically proved that any sequel could be self-contained, because it was.

A lot of people talk shit about it, but I would love for the Too Human trilogy to come to fruition.

I'd love to see a second Too Human with fixes based on the complaints. Not one of my top choices. Definitely worth it. Too Human was not a bad game. Just not an excellent one.

[mitchables]

Red Dead was a sequel in and of itself, you retard. It basically proved that any sequel could be self-contained, because it was.



It was a sequel the same way Perfect Dark was a sequel to Goldeneye, or BioShock was to System Shock - it was a spiritual successor more than an actual sequel.

And look, I made the point without resorting to name-calling. You can do it too!

[OssMan]

what the hell? ico, mother 3, zone of the enders 2, final fantasy 6... what an odd question

[OssMan]

Greatest movie to never have a prequel

[dronepool]

This had a sequel right?

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/24/Galerians_Coverart.png

[Tommy Gunn]

I don't see Red Read Redemption as a real sequel, more of a stand-alone game from the same licence, kind of how every Star Wars game churned out isn't a sequel to every other Star Wars game.

Anyways, I'd love to see another Red Dead game, there's so many rich story lines to be borrowed from old westerns, they just need a new protagonist.

[Kane Knight]

It was a sequel the same way Perfect Dark was a sequel to Goldeneye, or BioShock was to System Shock - it was a spiritual successor more than an actual sequel.

And look, I made the point without resorting to name-calling. You can do it too!

And yet, you didn't make a real point. So perhaps you could save your pedagogy for some time when you actually have a point. And a pulpit.

Though the term "spiritual successor" is douchey enough for you, it's largely dicing hairs in the same sense that one might argue a compact disc isn't really a compact disc, it's a digital information distribution device. It doesn't hurt that it's only relatively recently these titles have stopped being referred to as "spiritual sequels" and only then to differentiate between different types of sequels.

Oh dear.

When exactly did they stop being referred to as spiritual successors? Do you have any proof to back that up or anything?

Douchey or not, it's a pretty widely accepted term as far as I'm aware, especially when the creators of those games use it to describe them and all. It's not splitting hairs in the least. A spiritual successor is as different to a sequel as a prequel, really.

Either way, even if RDR *is* a "real" sequel, my point still stands about you resorting to calling someone a retard just because they may not have been aware of it. :-\

[Sepholio]

And even though it technically had 1.5 sequels, there needs to be a new Chrono Trigger already.

[Sepholio]

I say 1.5 sequels because Radical Dreamers was not really a game, per se. Chrono Cross still gets full credit though and is a very underrated game.

[Savio]

Instead of making a new slightly different topic:

They need to make a sequel to "Def Jam Fight For NY" with the old AKI engine.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Stop living in the past.

Dead Shitty Franchise, and dead thread.

[The Mask]

They need to make a new wrestling game using the no mercy engine

[Mercenary]

Instead of making a new slightly different topic:

They need to make a sequel to "Def Jam Fight For NY" with the old AKI engine.

Yes I was just saying this at work the other day.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It wasn't even wrestling. Def Jam is not No Mercy.

[Savio]

Ok? So? Which one of us mentioned wrestling?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Def Jam had sequels. There is no such thing as a sequel to a sequel. It's only another sequel to the original.

[Savio]

It had "Icon" as its sequel but it used a different engine, I would like them to make a 4th installment in the series using the AKI engine.

[Fignuts]

God, I am so glad Kane Knight doesn't post here anymore. What a prick.

[Fignuts]

On topic, I'd go with Chrono Trigger.

Radical Dreamers and Chrono Cross were more spin-off than sequel.

[Destor]

Eternal Darkness

[road doggy dogg]

Greatest game without a Squall

FF8 only game excluded from voting

[Ultra Mantis]

Kingdom Hearts only had a Leon.

[Disturbed316]

Shadow of the Colossus, although I'm not sure how it would work if they did.

[Shisen Kopf]

Superman 64. If they had made a sequel it would sure ring in a new genre of excellence.

[Maluco]

Not really the same since it had two games, but the Shenmue series. Would have loved to have seen the story finish with a few more games. Loved those games so much.

[Ruien]

Pokemon Snap.

[Ruien]

They could have made a AWESOME Pokemon Snap 2 game for the Wii U. Well, they still can technically.

[DAMN iNATOR]

L.A. Noire should've had a follow-up, but alas it hasn't. :(

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

L.A. Noire should've had a follow-up, but alas it hasn't. :(

The studio that made it went bankrupt.

[Bobholly138]

Pre-8 Bit era

Adventure-Yeah there is a homebrew Adventure II. But I would loved a real sequel
Airworld-The never finished last part of the Swordquest series

8-bit era

Crystalis-Fuck Zelda this is the best action-rpg on the NES.Hell I would be happy with an updated version.
Whoop'em-Super fun Jaleco game. That seems to be forgotten.
Pro Wrestling-Surprised we never got a sequel on the SNES.

16 bit era
Haunting starring Polterguy-Super fun super unique game that it seems I am the only person that remembers it.
Mutant League Football-With all the money EA makes each year off the shitty Madden games they could give us a sequel to the best football video game ever.

Post 16 bit era

Eternal Darkness-One of the few Gamecube exclusive games worth getting.
SNK VS Capcom Card fighter-No other DS games has gotten as much play as this one.

[drave]

Polterguy was outstanding. I rented it for 7 days from Red Giraffe (RIP) and beat it.

Mutant League Football was great too, but I liked Pigskin Footbrawl with the wanna be Lost Vikings.

Also wish General Chaos had a sequel, or a similar game at least. Loved the shit out of some General Chaos.

[loopydate]

Superman 64. If they had made a sequel it would sure ring in a new genre of excellence.

You can't have a sequel to a sequel! Supermans 2-64 are all sequels of the first one!

[Curtis]

Superman 64. If they had made a sequel it would sure ring in a new genre of excellence.

That game is so old youre gonna have to make the developers jump through hoops to get a sequel approved by Nintendo.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, really surprised we haven't seen a new Mutant League Football, considering how "in" it is to bring back dead or floundering franchises these days.

Also, I want a new god damn Fire Pro.

Or King of Colosseum

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

That game is so old youre gonna have to make the developers jump through hoops to get a sequel approved by Nintendo.

That is the hell awaiting the producers of this game when they die.

[Fignuts]

Also, I want Capcom vs SNK 3

[Emperor Smeat]

Think SNK still has a big grudge against Capcom in regards to that series.

Something about how badly SNK got screwed with the terms of that deal during the worst time possible for them. SNK did the bulk of the work and more games while Capcom took the bulk of profits earned and publisher rights to the series.

[Fignuts]

Fucking capcom being dickheads again. Awesome.

[Tom Guycott]

Superman 64. If they had made a sequel it would sure ring in a new genre of excellence.

Don't laugh too hard... if Shaq-Fu is poised for a second game, this might get the thumbs-up.



8-bit era

Crystalis-Fuck Zelda this is the best action-rpg on the NES.Hell I would be happy with an updated version.

Whoop'em-Super fun Jaleco game. That seems to be forgotten.

Pro Wrestling-Surprised we never got a sequel on the SNES.



1) "I'm afraid I've got some BAD NEWS!" Nintendo remade a port for the GameBoy Color. Instead of giving it the "DX" treatment of making it the same thing, but shiny and with extra features, they flat out changed ALL the awesome music to generic garbage, rewrote the entire story, and added this garbled "digitized voice feature" that named the swords when you picked them up. The only thing they made better was ammending the first quest with the guard and the flute so it wasn't Simon's Quest style guesswork.

2) I think you mean "Whomp'em"... a game so memorable you got the title wrong.

3) Pro Wrestling couldn't survive a sequel off the strength of "a winner is you" alone.



I would say WET, but honestly, I would actually like to see the first one finished. To be an incomplete Sierra scrap that Bethesda picked up, packaged, and sold a couple years later it had potential to be a franchise... but it felt undone. I'm pretty sure never seeing Ze Collector again, playing the whole chase of that fat British guy in blood rage, and the anticlimactic quicktime battle with Tarantula were because shit wasn't finished when Sierra went under. A sequel could see a resolution, or at least a continuation, of him presumably trying to "win" Rubi's sword by killing her for it (assuming that is what he's collecting) while she is on some new globetrotting ride through the criminal underworld.

Also, Clash at Demonhead. Love that game, and all the irreverence splashed with game and anime tropes even before it became a thing to share on the internet. The plot can consist of almost anything and still "make sense". Bonus if they nod back and add Scott Pilgrim characters to the background somewhere.

[Lock Jaw]

Super Mario RPG


They have made more "Mario RPG" games, but none set in that same "world"...

[Bobholly138]

Yeah, really surprised we haven't seen a new Mutant League Football, considering how "in" it is to bring back dead or floundering franchises these days.

Also, I want a new god damn Fire Pro.

Or King of Colosseum

I keep expecting EA to release a Mutant League Football DLC pack one October for Madden. A few years back,I happened to be on the coast when the Super Bowl was happening. I had brought my Genesis with me. During the halftime show I hooked it up and we went split screen. Left side was Mutant League Football,right side Halftime show. I figured after halftime we would stop playing Mutant league. Nope everyone was having more fun playing Mutant league than they were having watching the Superbowl.

[Destor]

Since we are all saying games that have had sequels. I think it's time for a new Road Rash.

I know about the gameboy color port. The music change never bothered me. Until the PS1 era I never had the sound on when playing most games. Found video game music to be horrible. So I would turn the sound off and play stuff on my stereo.

Final Fantasy five part two or VII was super awesome. Why didn't they do a part three? Then again what happened to part one? Why did they start at part two? So confused.

[drave]

Eleventy-Two ended the series.

It's game over man, GAME OVER!

[Jazzy Foot]

Super Mario 64 never had a true sequel.

[KIRA]

Beyond Good and Evil

my first choice was (Eternal Darkness)

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The Lost game would be a good choice if the first one wasn't shit.

[KIRA]

Final Fantasy five part two or VII was super awesome. Why didn't they do a part three? Then again what happened to part one? Why did they start at part two? So confused.

Speaking of how does FFVII not have a game sequel but that piece of shit FFX gets one ?

[Ultra Mantis]

It did have a sequel. And a prequel. And a movie. And FFX-2 was better than all of them combined.

[KIRA]

I don't count dirge of Cerberus as a proper sequel

And yes Yuna was a far better protagonist than that whiny voiced annoying cunt from the first one.

[cardsharkrob]

I would love to see a sequel to Psi-Ops:The Mindgate Conspiracy I had so much fun with this game

This. Loved that game.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Super Mario 64 never had a true sequel.

That was the start of the dark time. Every game was Mario Activity instead of Mario adventure.

[Jazzy Foot]

That was the start of the dark time. Every game was Mario Activity instead of Mario adventure.

Well no Mario game since then ever came close to replicating that magic (not including the re-release on the DS or the re-releases of the classic games).

That's not to say any of the Mario games since have been bad, the opposite, some are up there amongst the best of the best games. Just not a single one of them has come close to Mario 64.

[road doggy dogg]

Clearly you've not played Super Mario Galaxy 1 or 2

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Clearly you've not played Super Mario Galaxy 1 or 2

:y:

[Blue Demon]

Did Perfect Dark ever have a sequel?

[Emperor Smeat]

Did Perfect Dark ever have a sequel?

Perfect Dark Zero although that was meant as a prequel to the original game.

[Fignuts]

Clearly you've not played Super Mario Galaxy 1 or 2

Those are definitely superior games, but nah, I get what he means. Like, that first time booting up the N64 after playing 2-d mario on the SNES and NES for years.

The galaxy games are two of the best games released in the last 10 years, but neither gave me that feeling I got from first playing Mario 64. Not a knock on galaxy at all. 64 was just a brand new experience at the time.

[Fignuts]

Also, STD, are you implying that Mario Kart, Party, and Smash Brothers were "dark times"?

Because if so, you are a fool.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yes, because there was no choice. It was either activity games or nothing. I like Mario Kart and Smash Brothers. I was mainly referring to Mario Tennis, Golf though. I dislike Mario Party. No appeal to me. Not a fool just somebody who likes a game to actually be about something and not just doing it for no reason.

[drave]

I am def in the minority for not really caring for the Galaxy titles.

[road doggy dogg]

I understand the feeling... the first time firing up Mario 64 was incredible. Revolutionary, even.

Galaxy didn't *quite* have that effect but man, seeing all those planets and crap and the vastness between worlds was still pretty breathtaking. I thought the games (1 moreso than 2, even if 2 is objectively the better game) captured a bit of that feeling of magic, just not AS MUCH as '64 did

[Ruien]

Yes, because there was no choice. It was either activity games or nothing. I like Mario Kart and Smash Brothers. I was mainly referring to Mario Tennis, Golf though. I dislike Mario Party. No appeal to me. Not a fool just somebody who likes a game to actually be about something and not just doing it for no reason.

How do you not enjoying pounded your freind or girlfriend in the face at Mario Party? THe reason to play the game is called bragging rights.

[Big Vic]

Maybe he didn't have someone to play with?

Not hating, I would have had the same problem at some parts in my life.
