Paul writes: "It’s a general rule of thumb, in the movie world as well as the gaming arena, that the sequel to a film or game is usually not as good as the first. This can be seen every day: Iron Man 2 is not as good as Iron Man, Final Fantasy X-2 is not as good as Final Fantasy X, no CoD game has been as good as Modern Warfare, and so on. However, for every Predator 2, there is an Aliens, and the same goes for games. What I will attempt to do here is list the five games that I think were better than the games that preceded them - the 5 gaming sequels that blew the prequels away."
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
With hundreds of games, some of which are considered to be classics that hold up to this day, you’ve got the pick of the litter when it comes to choosing a potential remake
^This. THIS!
Stop remaking PS4 games!
Remake PS1 and PS2 games à la FF7R, RE1, Mafia, Half Life style ....
Make Legend of Dragoon, Legacy of Kain etc Remakes happen
and Valkyrie Profile Lenneth. They did Star Ocean 1 & 2 R already, VPL should get the same treatment.
I'd be down for FF8, and Xenogears. But I would also be down for Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. And I wish Namco would get off their ass and remake or remaster the Xenosaga trilogy.

Mine is Twisted Metal 2. Improved on the original in so many ways but sadly has yet to be topped again for me.
I would add AC2. That game is the very definition of blowing its prequel away. It redefined everything about Assassin’s Creed & the potential of what could be done with it.
Also if the author prefers FF8 over 7 that’s his choice but to say “it didn’t have a boring section in the middle of the game when we were lost in Cloud’s memories – or whatever that bit was.” well that bit is actually a very interesting one many will argue.
Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 were renowned sequels
