Games that need a sequel

Pikmin 4
another Republic Commando and Force Unleashed III though I don't trust disney era lucasfilm.
Unironically March of the Eagles 2, I want to see Paradox have another crack at the Napoleonic era.
I want to see another Zelda game with Toon Link and Twilight Princess Link.

Gabriel Knight: Jane Jensen is out of VG because apparently writing homoerotic novels for old cat ladies under a pen name is more lucrative, but god I miss her (hetero) writing
Gray Matter: as above. Simpler plot and mechanics than GK, but great characters

The Longest Journey: I guess we were lucky to have Dreamfall chapters, but I want a proper ending for Apil Ryan. Fuck Ragnar for not ending it when he had a chance
Secret World Legends: Speaking of Ragnar... They rebooted the game, changed gameplay, still keep rebalancing it, and not new story chapter. Weird

L.A. Noire: The spiritual successor was supposed to be called The whore of Orient or something, I guess not now lol
Hotel Dusk/Last Window: I wish Nintendo acquired Cing
Ar Tonelico: Gust, stop shitting new Atelier every 6 months and focus

Burnout.
An actual Road Rash.

So why not kill two birds with one stone and let Criterion do a Road Rash reboot?
 
Phantom Crash: I want my cloaking arena mechs!
Chromehounds: And my Risk-style map MMO mechs!
Armored Core: And my mechs on crack cocaine!
 
I don't know how the hell we never even saw a spiritual sequel to Blast Corps, let alone anyone even remotely trying to revisit that idea

It's a puzzle game where you knock down buildings as fast as possible, it's a ton of fun, it even got rereleased on Rare Replay, but I guess it's just kind of in eternal limbo due to it always having trouble in emulation and nobody owning an Xbox One. Let alone how Rare Replay is like the sole exclusive title to the Xbox One that isn't a Kinect game.

My answer will always be Shining Force.
That was a crack in Sega's foundation, looking back. We have so few first-party games; so let's cancel a few more.

L.A. Noire: The spiritual successor was supposed to be called The whore of Orient or something, I guess not now lol
Fuck me, they planned on more of these? If that's the case, then they were way too ambitous. Should have been a full-on adventure or puzzle game, one or the other.

Rockstar doing a spiritual successor to The Warriors and make more cult movie games.
I read that somebody approached Kurt Russell about an Escape from NY game. Too bad nothing came of it.

It felt like Square was 80% done making the game, then thought, "how can we really get this to sell?".
They actually moved resources away from Xenogears to complete it, and both games look unfinished. Thanks, Square.

I still think Watch Dogs 1 had some promise and held a mirror up to society; but since they botched the concept twice, and now they're just ripping off movies wholesale, I don't hold out hope. Between this and CP2077, I have to conclude that AAA devs are unfit for this kind of material.

Total Overdose
It did get a sequel, Chili Con Carnage.

On the PSP.

In 2007.

That game was doomed to fail. The original Total Overdose was shit/awesome, both at once. It was better than Just Cause 1 and that got a ton of sequels.


They had another game cooking that got cancelled when the studio went belly up, Faith and a .45. It looked kind of cool, it seemed to have the free-form combat madness of Total Overdose combined with a more somber and serious tone. Could have been interesting.
(if you watch the trailer, watch it in the small player here, it's horribly low-res)
 
I would like to see a remaster and sequel for syndicate and syndicate wars. I know there was some attempt at a spiritual successor with satellite rain, but a proper sequel would be cool

What's the story with Syndicate Wars? I've seen clips of it before. The camera is hopelessly broken, but the atmosphere is rad as hell.
The control system is out dated because the controllers of the mega drive and PlayStation lacked analogue sticks, so camera movement is done by shoulder buttons.

The story is a corporation vs a religious entity of who can get control of the city/state/country and get to the moon first. You can play as either. The setting, weapons and indoctrination mechanics are cool. Plus it was 4 player co-op
