Old game sequels that should have been

Y U NO MAKE NEW IP!?

So, a lot of sequels coming out. Some games deserve these, some don't...

But even in this utter lack of new titles, there are still some games that SHOULD have received a sequel, but never did. :(

So, post games that deserve good sequels/remakes!

Lemme start with Populous 3 and Dungeon Keeper 2 - both from the most amazingly brilliant Bullfrog studios (R.I.P.). Some remakes of these have been attempted by other studios, that have been either complete fail or not even close. Just an overhaul with modern visuals and stuff would make these games king... :(

Both of these deserve a modern re-boot, or sequel.

Sadly both of them are dropped, as far as I know.

Space shooters/travelers are really neglected by the gaming industry anyway, people want to shoot other people to call in atom bombs.

Warcraft IV would be nice.I mean, after Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 in one or five years, Its pretty much obligatory.

Agree on a sequel for Dungeon Keeper 2.

What I really want to see however is a new Jedi Knight series game. The last one was Jedi Academy and it has a good combat system. It just shouldn't be dumped, make a new game damn you :(

Anyone ever play the game Freedom Fighters on PS2? Might be nostalgia but I always remember that game being awesome and would love a sequel.

Xenogears.  I'd love to see a remake that kept the original feel of the game but did not rush the last quarter of it due to publisher pressure.  I'd also like to see the other chapters of the story done by the original team with Mitsuda on music again; Xenosaga was terrible--Bamco trash.

Agreed.  I'm itching for a new "good" Star Wars game that isn't a MMO or a RTS.

A new  Commandos would also be pretty neat imo.

Dungeon Keeper 3 :D


I also remember finishing Free Space (the first one) that game was sooo great. There's really a lack of dogfighting and space combat games IMO. X3:TC is an excellent game, but the combats themselves aren't even close to those of Free Space, mostly due to fail AI.

A sequel to the Jedi Knight games is long overdue. Hopefully with combat akin to Warband's. Until then we can cross our fingers for a release of the SW mod for WB (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_ZcYCAo67o).

Syndicate is a series I recently wished for a sequel in, only to find that one had been announced not long ago. It looks good though it's a shame the isometric, tactical squad elements seem to have gone with the console generation.

Other than that I can only agree with what has already been written here, a new Commandos, Dungeon Keeper or Freedom Fighters would be much appreciated. A Baldur's Gate 3  or Homeworld 3, even.

Freedom Force. Old  60's comic book heroes style RTS (with great multiplayer and character creation). Needs a third game with a visual style that represents and parodies the modern approach of comic writing with grittier issues and visuals (like updating from Jack Kirby to Brian Michael Bendis/Frank Miller style).

Jedi Knight type game with more complex combat system would be pretty cool. And since people talked about Starwars games and space simulators, a modern reboot of Tie Fighter.

I would have loved to have seen a Dungeon Keeper 3, plus a complete remake of The Settlers, the first one was brilliant...
