10 Series That Need a Sequel

I love new IPs. There’s nothing like trying a brand new idea for the first time and loving it. However, once a new IP has been finished and put aside, it’s only natural to want to play more of that franchise, namely sequels. Some games get the sequels they deserve, some get way too many sequels (I’m looking at you, Guitar Hero), while others gets brushed under the mat, seemingly forgotten by the gamer gods. Some of the games I have listed below were more high-profile in their day, but all ten of these sequels are worthy of consideration.

Jade Empire was so awesome! Played it and loved it first on xbox1. Then it got Even better on PC with the MUCH improved graphics and butter smooth framerate! So of course I had to play it all over again with a new char.

good times!

Legend of Dragoon please.
I would prefer a remake over a sequal though. You can't really touch the classics without ruining them these days.

OhMyGandhi4429d ago (Edited 4429d ago )

Great list!
I would love a sequel to "Armed and Dangerous".
one of the few games that made me laugh non stop all the way through it.

OhMyGandhi4429d ago (Edited 4429d ago )

Double Post...

oh well, I'll throw a few more beyond "AaD".

How about
Grim Fandango, Psychonaughts, Mirror's Edge, Psi Ops, Alan Wake, Jet Force gemini, BLACK, as well as LIMBO, IloMilo, and "Small Arms".

How about a new "Vigilante 8" or a Splinter Cell that goes back to it's damned roots for once?

for some reason, I am really drawing a blank. I really feel like last generation was going strong with new titles that failed to embrace this generation. It annoys me that a game must be a damned near breakout hit for a sequel...

Skateboard4428d ago

I ###### love Vigilante 8. I wish I could go back and edit my comment.

GTRrocker4430d ago

Zombies ate my neighbors...

loltonytony4429d ago

You mean a good sequel? or a newer...one? Because there was Ghoul Patrol.

stevenhiggster4430d ago

I would love more Heavenly Sword.
The first one didn't really leave any room for a sequel though.

So as much as I'd like a sequel I'd be worried it might not fit in with what happened in the first game so sadly they should probably leave it alone.

ShaunCameron4429d ago

Unless the developers decide to make Kai the main character, I don't see any point in a sequel. A spirtual sequel would be more appropriate than a direct sequel.

Final Fantasy XVI Has Finally Given Donald Duck A Worthy Opponent

For a long time, it's been widely accepted amongst Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts fans that Donald Duck is the most powerful mage ever to exist, mainly due to his use of the stupidly powerful Zettaflare spell towards the end of Kingdom Hearts 3. This spell is one step up from Teraflare, a spell which was used in Final Fantasy XIV that was so powerful that it completely wiped out the base game, giving the developers a canonical reason to let them bin everything and start again from scratch.

Now you're armed with this information, you can see how it was pretty surprising for Donald Duck of all characters to bust out Zettaflare and establish himself as the most powerful character in Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts lore. However, now that Final Fantasy XVI has arrived and delivered a whole new cast of characters, a new challenger has arrived to provide Donald with some much needed competition.

Final Fantasy's strongest magic user is Donald Duck, who never appears in a final fantasy game.

This Kingdom Hearts Boss' Unpredictability Gave Me Sekiro Vibes

Kingdom Hearts is filled with otherworldly boss battles, but only one stands out like a phoenix dancing with ethereal grace across the night sky. Before we embark upon a discussion concerning Kingdom Hearts' exceptional boss battles, it may be prudent to first reflect on the evolution of the criteria for appraising video game bosses. This criterion has undergone a major metamorphosis over the past decade; one that owes much to the profound influence of From Software and its iconic Souls series.

"Yozora is much more than a grueling secret encounter; he is a reflection of what Kingdom Hearts' bosses should be"

No thank you. If every boss in Kingdom Hearts was like Yozora, the series would be unplayable. That's not to say that they shouldn't include such challenges, but making them fundamental to the game would be too much. And don't say that this is what the From Software games are, because Yozora is absolutely harder than most of the bosses in those games. He is waaay faster, has a ludicrous number of abilities (and does them in random order AND can chain most of them together), and punishes you severely if you make a mistake. On top of that, you have to survive this onslaught for a really long time because of how much health he has. It's borderline too much - for me at least. Still, it's a stunning battle.

OMNlPOTENT370d ago

I agree, while I do really enjoy the Yozora fight, I think it's far too difficult to be anything more than an optional boss. However, I do believe that there should be more bosses that are in the same weight and size class as Sora, as the majority of those in KH3 were the best fights. The giant heartless bosses just aren't as enjoyable.
