Games you wish they continued.

[HolyCow02]

Freespace - I wanted Freespace 3 so f'n bad. The ending of Freespace 2 was epic and perfectly setup for a sequel. Yet...nothing. Bastards

Mechwarrior - Nothing beats blowing stuff up from a giant mechanized suit. What good games

X-Wing vs Tie-Fighter - Oh man would I love to see another one of these. All the space-combat simulators have disappeared.

Jet Force Gemini - N64 game...it was awsome.

 

[TheMailMan78]

Ill tell you one game I would LOVE to see comeback is Space Harrier. I used to play this game by the hour listening to the Flash Gordon soundtrack by Queen. FLASH! AHHHHHH AHHHHHHH!

 

[Black Panther]

Probably someone mentioned this already -- Oblivion.

TESV is due I think 2010, but heck from 2006 it's too long to wait! They should make one every year or 2 at least!

the games are too large and "deep" for a yearly release. I think the gap between Morrowind and Oblivion was about 4 years as well

Lands of Lore: Guardians of Destiny

Queen and Sega Master System. Two greatest entertainers in the world.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Hitman 5 and Mafia 2!!!!!! I think both are in developement.

 

[farlex85]

As mentioned by a couple of people on this page, Earthbound and Jet Force Gemini. The ladder was a great game, but I can see how it has slipped into obscurity. The former though, I don't know how there hasn't been an American sequel (Mother II was released in Japan) especially after SSB has immortalized Ness. I also will miss AOE sorely.

 

[Triprift]

The Oddworld series i miss Abe ended up dling Oddysee and Exoddus on Steam to get my fix.

 

[SkyKast]

I MISS FROGGERRRRR!!!! lmao I used to play that all the time when I was youger, PS one ftw!

[Nick89]

Yea, it was such a fun game.

Dark Forces or Jedi Kngiht saga!

Severance: Blade of Darkness - It sucked you in and the fighting mechanism was really good once you got accostumed. Superb technology: real water reflections, dynamic lights and shadows ala Doom3, great physics (a bit buggy), wood objects could take fire and it propagated, dismemberment... And I'm talking about a 1999 game!! It didn't sell well because it was not properly marketed: only for Spain for almost 6 months, then only on Europe and after a year or so in the rest of the world. Probably because it was the first game made in Spain and distributors had no confidence, it was an AAA title. The company dissapeared and most of the developers apparently make cell phone games now.

apparently they were making a severance bod 2 but the project was abandon. I think the reason was too bloody or too much gore, something stupid like that.

I want to see Road Rash come back to life. I have always wanted another one after the Nintendo 64 version.

I also want to see Goldeneye 007 remade to today's standard. (Not the Source Beta version either)

Another game that they need to continue with is a newer Counter Strike game with better graphics.

I agree what happen to road rash the sega one was awesome!.
I don't think any of the goldeneye games can compare to the n64 one.

Nope, I never heard of something like that (blood and gore WAS related to low sales though). The game was made by a spanish developer (I'm spanish, that's why I mention it ) and was very sounded in the media, because it was the first game of such nature made here (Commandos came first, but was more modest. It did took a lot of attention too and it was superb though). They wanted to make a second or even a third game (I think they had a trilogy in mind), probably was even under planification, but AFAIK development of the second game never began. Times have changed a lot and now publishers and distributors look a lot in "small" EU countries (small markets, small gaming industry) for valuable developer teams and don't seem to fear one bit to invest a fair ammount of money on them. Sadly that was not the case back then, and much much less in Spain (even UK and Germany were almost nonexistent) and when the game didn't sell well for various reasons* they cut off the money. Reasons were primarily bad marketing and distribution, the publishers didn't have faith and didn't want to put too much money. In fact the worldwide distributors and publishers (Infogrames, Codemasters) didn't put a single cent, everything was paid by a local newly created publisher Friendware. It happened what had to happen. Low risk = low profits.

In the end due to no funding and some internal differences as to how continue the series, the project dried up and developers moved to greener pastures (I think part of the team participated in the development of Scrapland, but apparently most of them make cellphone games). Friendware could take the risk for one game in the red, but not more and Codemasters aparently neither wanted to take the risk. It's a shame because right now, publishers take the risk, because it's profitable for them to fund 5 games in the red if 1 out of 10 games they fund ends up being a success.

*Steep requirements was another reason. Yet another one it would have not mattered too much nowadays. It's hardware requirements were not as steep as those of games like Doom3, Farcry or Oblivion (at the time) and definately Crysis.


EDIT: OOOOOOK... Now I'm embarrased. Not only a big part of the team created (or moved to) the developer behind Scrapland, called Mercury Steam, but that same company is the one that made Clive Barker's Jericho. I was blind for not understanding they had to be related...

Most Likely instead of MVC, it will be TVC- or Tatsunoko vs Capcom

about Sonic, new one being Released for All 3 Consoles, Wii Version will be different from the other 2 but it looks like they took their time and actually worked on this game for all 3, The Wii Version was Worked on By DIMPS (Team Responsible for Sonic Rush and Rush Adventure). I like the fact that Sonic Actually Turns into a Ball Again compared to Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes and Sonic and the Secret Rings, which SSR, and Sonic 2006 are not canon apparently.
Another game that needs a Major Overhaul is Smashbros, the Characters feel too light in SSmB Brawl compared to the SSmB Melee. Few other games, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, Vectorman.
