10 Sequels That are Better Than The Original - Den of Geek

Gaming sequels aren't quite as cursed as their movie equivalents. Here are ten gaming releases that significantly improved on the original...

Bigger, better and more badass, the strange thing about videogames is that sequels usually trump the originals. The engine's in place and the success of the original gives the developers more freedom to play with new ideas.

I actually felt Fable was better than Fable 2

bnaked5300d ago

but most sequels are better..

Blaze9295300d ago

whoa whoa whoa...maybe im the odd one in the bunch but i did NOT think God of War 2 was better than God of War 1. I liked GOW1 a WHOLE lot better than I did the second.

swiftshot935300d ago

wow...GTA3 and Half Life 2...its too weird to think of them as sequels because they were so revolutionary...

sunil5300d ago

Uncharted 2 deserves a place on that list !

KiRBY30005300d ago

we all know that final fantasy 7 is a SEQUEL to final fantasy 6. *facepalm* (btw hardcore fans like FF6 better)

sequel: A sequel is a work in literature, film, or other media that chronologically portrays events following those of a previous work.

on that list belongs
MGS2 then MGS3 (technically 3 is a prequel but whatever)
Silent Hill 2
Killzone 2
Ace Combat 2
Cool Boarders 3
SSX3
Soul Calibur
Max Payne 2
Monkey Island 2
Red Alert 2
Warcraft 2
Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit

worst sequels?

Devil May Cry 2
pretty much every Tomb Raider games after the 1st

The Matrix5300d ago

Gow II > Gow (both are great games though)

monkey6025300d ago

I actually agree with that list. Fully agree. That's never happened before!

@Kirby. Agreed with DMC 2 for worst sequel ever but I thought Tomb Raider 2 was the best of the series

I must be the only person in the world who actually prefered the first Killzone

n4f5300d ago

final fantasy is not a sequel to final 6
killzone 2 should have been there because the first suck but second one is way better
its seems there is a lot playstation game on this list cause im pretty sure i could think of better sequel on other system

kraze075299d ago

I like the first KZ more than Killzone 2 too.

but why playstion 2 console there instead of a game? lol

swiftshot935300d ago

Pretty amazing how God of War 2 was better than the first. God of War 2 had much better levels, better puzzles and more boss battles. Graphics were even sharper, story was more epic, and there was overall a better flow to the game while it being longer than the first. Even the beginning for GOW2 was better, and anyone who played the first God of War knows how mind blowing the first's beginning was.

bozebo5300d ago

good call on everything except fable 2, that was a dire game compared to 1.

another good one would be lotr return of the king (game)

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis7d ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast7d ago

It's worth a play through today.

gold_drake7d ago

the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5222d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5222d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212122d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

MrNinosan22d ago

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5221d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5221d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani21d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum22d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman22d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim22d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

I disagree Batman
