Metal Arms seriously needs one. The only game even had a cliffhanger ending pointing to a sequel.

My usual answer in these situations:

Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri


It was made by Looking Glass Studios, and like their other titles it was awesome amazing revolutionary ahead of its time, highly critically acclaimed but (unlike their other titles) unfortunately a commercial flop, never receiving the many sequels and reboots it so richly deserves.


Read all about it.

Am I the only one that dislikes sequels? It's one of the reasons why games these days are so bland.


There's nothing wrong with a sequel, it's just eventually they get a bit stale.

Plus developers can be innovative but they can't always crap out new ideas. So when they make a game that does well and can continue, they might as well finish that story and develop something on the side too. Like Uncharted, Naughty Dog made three games for it then moved on to The Last of Us. Now they're back for Uncharted 4.

Sequels give you the chance to build upon your previous game. So if your game had flaws, you can iron those out and try something new. Like look at Assassin's Creed. The first game plays like ass. So they ironed out the kinks and tried new ideas and made Assassin's Creed II, which is a lot better. And now it's getting really fucking old.

I wouldnt mind a new red faction game on next gen (of course you can just hand me a sandbox game with the destruction engine and I would be happy)
A new burnout game would be good as well rather then crition just making nfs rehashes every year
and atlus needs to make 3d dot game heroes 2

Even tho it had a sequel which didn't quite live up to the first i would LOVE another Mark of Kri game.....man i remember playing the balls off it on my PS2 when it came out

Amazing visuals,Innovative combat system and epic soundtrack really made it a stand out hit just imagine this on PS4 or the WiiU :tpi:

Jurrasic Park The Chaos Continues snes remake side scrolling shooter
I played that game again last year. When I was a kid, I think I had only ever beaten one level of that game. Was able to beat a few more this time, but damn that game is still hard but (mostly) fair.
chrono trigger sequel
I suppose there's always Chrono Cross. Never played it, though.
X-men arcade remake, Simpsons arcade remake
Man, those two arcade cabinets (especially Simpsons since we had that at the Hockey Rinks my dad played/reffed at most) ate so many quarters as a kid.
Wing Commander
Familiar with Star Citizen? Chris Roberts has come out of retirement for a new space sim with a persistent online universe. If that doesn't catch your fancy, it also comes with a single-player campaign called Squadron 42.
Star Trek 50th anniversary edition remake of star trek 25 anniversary edition
I absolutely loved Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and its sequel, Star Trek: Judgment Rites. If you haven't played ST:JR, I highly recommend it. Make sure, like with 25th anniversary, you get the CD version to get the voice acting from the original crew. For some reason game developers these days can't figure out how to make a Star Trek game as faithful to the spirit of the show as those games were. The exploration, contacting unknown species, diplomacy, finding the best solution to a problem (loved that there were so many ways to complete a mission)... nowadays it's just cash-grab action and such. Oh, and also give Star Trek: A Final Unity a try; it's in a similar vein to ST25 and STJR as a point-and-click, but features the cast of The Next Generation.
WHEW! Ok ill stop. I guess I like old games.
There's no shame in that.

Twinsen's odyssey/Little big Adventure serie. It's one of the best series I ever played, I feel it needs a sequel or at least an hd reboot (android reboot doesn't count much even if it was reworked by the original team)

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
