Games you wish they continued.

Sometimes great games come along and after a sequel or an expansion pack, they fade away into oblivion never to resurface again.

So here some game i really wish they could have continued:

Descent. I really enjoyed playing these. It stopped at 3.

Freespace. One of the best space sim i've ever played. Unfortunatly, nothing after the second game. What happened to the rogue commander? Is earth still cut out? Shivan super duper sun blower upper was the final ending scene ?

Crusader No regret, no remorse. I was waiting for no mercy but alas, it never came out.

Syndicate. You know from Bullfrog games? That game was so insane running those tiny cyborg assasins blowing up everything in sight.

Titan quest. Great D2 lookalike. Too bad, i was hoping to see TQ2 one day.

Share your never will release list if you want.

Syndicate. You know from Bullfrog games? That game was so insane running those tiny cyborg assasins blowing up everything in sight.

Share your never will release list if you want.
I believe a Syndicate remake/sequel is in the works.


As for games i would have loved to have seen continued include..

Alien Breed (amiga)

Grand Prix series (amiga & pc)

Cannon Fodder (amiga)

Mythos...a very promising diablo style online rpg that had some novel ideas, great graphics, and was supposed to be a free-to-play/free-to-acquire game. I read a couple of previews and watched a couple videos of it last year...and to my dissapointment, it was cancelled. I believe it is linked with the downfall of the company behind Hellgate: London iirc.

Flagship did get closed sadly.. I was hoping they would finish mythos as well, I beta'd it and it was an amazing game. So was Hellgate but no one played it so I pretty much stopped playing it as well..

I missed out on the beta I was really bummed about that! I hope someone picks it up and continues on with the project...it'd be a big hit I bet!

I enjoyed that i guess it be 1st person these days though.

Syndicate.
Remember playing that on a a whopping INTELS 66MHz lol. But think my gaming requirements have changed a lot since then so they would have to make a dam good effort lol.

Connon Fodder loved it to bits but dam that thing drove me up the wall.


I can think of more games they should of made sequels of than should of lol. Would of been nice to seen a decent fight sim redone like Gunship and longbow.

With all the effects they could do with comps today maybe a few like R-Type be nice to see some sweet ass explosions lol.

Sucks to hear.

Hellgate is a good example of a heavily threaded game but gameplay / story was too "simple", a lack of epic-ness. I haven't played in so long that I didn't even know that Flagship went down.

I also played the beta of Mythos as well. Had a good Diablo / Secret of Mana feel to it.
