PSX Extreme writes: "Creating a female leading character in the videogame industry is always either hit or miss. There doesn't seem to be much of an in between. You either become Lara Croft, Nariko (Heavenly Sword), Samus (Metroid), Jill Valentine (Resident Evil), or you miss and become Rayne (BloodRayne) and Vanessa (P.N. 03). If you're wondering what P.N. 03 was, it was a mediocre GameCube game made by Capcom. And as for BloodRayne, well, that was just about one of the most uninspired games of the last-generation, and people quickly forgot. In any case, we've got a new female-led action title coming our way, and this one's from Sierra.
The heroine here is Rubi, and the game is called WET. Quite frankly, I hate the name...nothing says action game like A) being drenched in water, or B) a sexual innuendo. I'm not quite sure which Sierra is aiming for, but something tells me the latter. Perhaps WET would've been a better suited name for a jet ski game. In any case, to put my digression aside, WET is actually looking quite nice."

There were a number of cult classics that didn't sell like gangbusters, but still worked their way into gamers' hearts. Here's WWG list of nine great titles that deserve a second chance on newer consoles
I'll point out that these games are all from the X360/PS3 era - they've already had HD releases when they first came out. Split/Second and Blur - with the crazy vehicle physics capable today, why would we not want sequels to them?
The other games, all a matter of opinion of course, but... thank you for your ads between every single game. /s
Problem with sequels is that they aren't very likely. Activision dropped Blur like a bad habit, and Disney isn't doing games anymore. So I'll happily take the originals.
As much as I'd kill for a Demon's Souls remake, isn't likely. We'll probably get Bloodborne 2 instead.
Dafuq kinda title is that? These games were already released on HD consoles though...
Is the largely forgotten, 2009 game Wet worth a second look? Miguel Penabella considers the game in relation to grindhouse films and the phenomenon of the "B-game".
This game is going to be SO cool
