Games That Deserve New Year Sequels 93

Posted by Zonk from the moving-beyond-halo-3 dept.
Retrogaming with Racketboy has a piece looking at 10 Games that 'need' a sequel. Each title is a deserving candidate for an updating, though probably some more than others. From the article: "Possibly one the best games of 2004, Beyond Good and Evil featured a magical combination of action, animation, and storytelling that won it high regard among critics. The game represented high quality and production values when most other games on the market were either re-hashes of other successful games or just plain awful. With all the unimaginative plots in games today, a series like BG&E deserves to live on. Of course, it didn't sell well in its first iteration, but much of the buzz about the game happened just a bit after stores started taking it off their shelves. Now that there is a healthier fan-base, a sequel might just flourish."

    Duke Nukem Forever is among the most famous vaporware titles out there, as the intended sequel to Duke Nukem 3d ... and somehow doesn't make this list.

    Duke Nukem 3d was one of the best single-person FPS games ever published; the secrets and plot were unparalleled, and the game got shadowed by the release of Quake (which evolved FPS from sprite-based graphics to today's 3-D feel and made the (spirte-based) Duke Nukem "3d" title look ... dumb). Gameplay and overall design were either on-par or superior to Quake, and many people still regard it as the best of the genre. This screams for a sequel.


  • Another sequel to Thief! And more in the style of Thief 2, not the lame hub-style system of Thief:Deadly Shadows! Yes, there are fan missions [thiefmissions.com] but more Thief is always a good thing.
    • Yes, more Thief would be a good thing.

      And while there were drawbacks I did enjoy Deadly Shadows.
      The fog-filled doors between zones were bad and so were the climbing gloves instead of rope arrows, but it did have the best level, in my opinion, of the series: the cradle. That actually creeped me out and had me on the edge of my seat, tense and nervous. It's the only video game to actually do that to me.
    • Do you want to see a sequel to Thief? Or do you want a game which takes place in the Thief universe?

      Deadly Shadows was the final chapter in a prophecy/story that took three games to tell.
      That being said, a sequel to Deadly Shadows doesn't make any sense, IMO, because it didn't leave any unanswered questions and there's nothing left to explain. What else is there to tell?

      While I'm on the topic of Thief, what I wouldn't mind seeing is a remake of all three games using a modern graphics engine.

The thing is though, they were the exception not the rule. ID went so overkill with unlit areas in Doom 3 that it quickly became annoying. What good are all those fancy lighting/shading algorithims if you can see anything?

    • Sequels aren't always a bad thing. They can expand on the previous game's story and fix any problems that previous games may have had. The problem with the gaming industry is that developers are basically putting out the same game with only minor changes, which usually just involve slightly better graphics, and calling it a sequel.

Most of today's FPS has maybe 5 major bad guy characters to kill with similar, repetitive level design (outdoors, indoors). Alice, however, used all of the settings and characters in the novel in the game. From the card-guards to chess pieces, to Cheshire cat, to Army ants, etc. playing it was an adventure. And the levels were colorfully done to keep you interested. i.e. after playing level after level of Doom or FarCry, everything starts looking the same. Not with Alice.

    I can see some of those games being good enough that the gameplay/story could be looked at again, but let's face some facts.

    Sonic CD has a sequel, called Sonic Rush on the DS. All the same kinds of graphics, and a soundtrack well worth downloading (since the OST is not available outside of Japan). It's a better OST than the Sonic CD one!

    Beyond Good and Evil had some good ideas, but the execution was so poor, that the managers responsible for shoving such a half-baked came out the door should be fired. Yes, it has many good points, like a heroine who isn't just ass and cleavage, and a story that seems interesting at first -- but the story falls flat. It's not nearly as deep as reviewers like this seem to think it is, and the ending sucked royally. A bad ending can make anything good suck (look at Terminator 3; a decent Terminator movie with a terrible ending is not a good movie).

    Alice proved to me that a platformer on the PC does not work. I want deeper gameplay than having to float to the next excruciatingly place toadstool, having to restart if I miss the target. I want boss fights that are interesting, not exercises in shooting a whole lot.

    I think this reviewer has their personal opinion seeping in on games they particularly liked, but which weren't actually that good. Games that are 5/10 or 6/10 (like the ones on the list here) are not ones worth investigating further. The gameplay is not compelling enough, or the story is too half-baked. (I'm not saying they're all bad; I haven't played Grim Fandango through yet, so I reserve judgement on it, but BG&E is a crap fest that deserved to die, and was most certainly not the best game of 2004.)

    and 5.Sentinel Worlds: Future Magic. Not necessarily a direct sequal, in fact, any game is the same style but more modern would be COOL.
  • I remember how awesome Smash TV was... just room after room after room of a seemingly infinite number of guys whose only purpose are to get mowed down by your machine gun or bash you with a club. Now that's a GAME.
  • The list from the article was pretty good, but the game that is most in need of a sequel is Panzer Dragoon Saga. Sega did release Panzer Dragoon Orta for the Xbox, but Orta was a rail shooter like the first two PD games. PDS was one of the most amazing RPGs ever released, and it deserves a sequel.
  • Nights, Guardian heroes definitely. and what about Xenogears? (xenosaga is to xenogears as chrono cross is to chrono trigger i guess) I believe Square/Enix is so tight on budget they make FF series only. How sad.
  • A game I'd love a sequel for is Ghost Master... I picked this game up a couple of months ago for my PC as a budget title and really enjoyed it. It's kind of a cross between Dungeon Keeper and The Sims. Oh yeah... I wouldn't mind another Dungeon Keeper game either...
