Games that demand a Sequel or Reboot

[NemesiS]

I was just in the headlines RE5 thread a bit ago looking at the posts that the franchise might have apparently been contracted out for a reboot to some 3rd party Soft-Co, and reading the through comments about what direction people would want it to take got me thinking.

What game or games from the annals of gaming history would you think are just begging to be rebooted or even just given a damn sequel if they have been shamelessly overlooked after the one game outing.

A few that spring to my mind are:

Little Big Adventure
Freedom Fighters
Bio-Forge
Portal (yes I know there?s a community coding levels, but sometimes it?s nice to see a pro sequel)
Planescape Torment into fullblown 3D would be amazing
Actraiser
Chrono Trigger
Soul Blazer
Earthbound
Scud Racer
Ico
Super Tennis (I like VT but i loved this in the day)

Diablo....Oh wait a minute


I'm sure there are tons more out there that i can't remember even as recent as PS2 & Xbox.

Portal has a sequel in the works.

Einhander- I doubt it will ever get a sequel but would love one.

Feud-this was a game I had on the old speccy, it might have been a budget game but I thought it was great, plus it was original.

Sabouteur-another 8 bit game, I know it had a sequel but would love a modern version of this game.

Rallisport Challenge 2. Gutted that there's never been a third game for this series.

I'm 100% with you on Planescape Torment.

Sabouteur-another 8 bit game, I know it had a sequel but would love a modern version of this game.

I thought a new Saboteur game had just been released in the last couple of months or so. Was that not based on the old speccy game?

oh a otogi sequel i would love

Games that need a reboot because theyve gone rubbish? Tony Hawks, Resident Evil(not rubbish, just not scary now) Castlevania (yeah I went there, enough metroid ones I think)

In terms of a reboot, the obvious one is Silent Hill. With Resident Evil turning it's back to the 'horror' aspect of Survival Horror, there is a void in the market. Project Zero is the only one that really fits the bill, but that will probably forever be niche, unfortunately. Dead Space is great, but it's sci-fi leanings have given it an identity of it's own. With Silent Hill, Konami could really capitalise on what Capcom have neglected.

As for Ico... well there's The Last Guardian on the way. I'm not sure I'd want a 'direct' sequel.

A 2.5D Shinobi.

[NW2013]

SNES/MD Shadowrun re-imagined for modern consoles.

[Miguel007]

Mirrors Edge, Beyond Good & Evil & XIII.

I really enjoyed all three, with BG&E and XIII ending on cliffhangers I'd love to see some resolution in a sequel. Getting a XIII sequel is probably non-existant and BG&E seems to have vanished off the radar after the one trailer it had. Fingers crossed for an E3 announcement.

I'll second Planescape, Chrono Trigger, Shadowrun and Beyond Good & Evil.

Others:

-Jet Set Radio
-KotOR
-Suikoden
-Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
-Full Throttle
-RPG like the original Fallout & Fallout 2

Resident evil 3: Nemesis should have a sequel with RE3 being on the disc and if you play it first your decisions in that game cause things to happen in the sequel. Like if you don't kill nemesis with the magnum at the end he ends up being stronger throughout the sequel stuff like that!
