What sequel would you make?
 
If you were in charge of a talented development group, had an unlimited budget, and 4 years what sequel would you make?

*Please omit games that already have sequels. (ie: Mario, GTA, Halo, etc.)

Looking for some games that deserve another shot, but for whatever reason have been forgotten. Feel free to include plot lines and features of the game.

Well, it shouldn't really count since a lackluster sequel was released in Japan, but I loved the original Bust a Groove game and would love to see a full-fledged sequel for the PS2.

Kid Icarus!! My mind is blank on how exactly the game would work in today's world.. but I miss that guy.

Mark of Kri had a unique look and style... I'd like to see them make a sequel to that. Perhaps something set in the same world with a few more interesting characters. The fighting and stealth controls were pretty nifty, but the whole thing kinda felt like one big training mission. By the time you learned all the skills and got all the weapons, you were done! A new adventure would be great...

I'd buy it... :D

Valkyrie Profile!

Easy. ICO. I loved every aspect of this game. I've played through it atleast 10 times now and it's just as good each time.

It sure is... and they're calling it "NICO"... most likely not starring a digitized Steven Seagal.

There are a few blurry screenshots floating around out there...

Yep no question, it would be Kid Icarus.

A new Pilotwings game would be nice. I know it had a sequel (Pilotwings 64), but it's been seven years since that one was released and I haven't heard anything about another one. If our talented development team is going to take 4 years though, they might as well make it for Nintendo's next console. I suppose our unlimited budget would allow us to tear Miyamoto away from the multiple projects he's overseeing long enough to get his input.

Adam Tyner 09-11-03 02:26 PM

Has there been a sequel to "Bionic Commando"? If not, that would absolutely be my choice.

There was a rumor recently that the developer Factor 5(Rogue Squadron series) will be making a new Pilot Wings for either the Gamecube or it's successor.

Really? That just made my day, do you have a link or anything with news on it?

I can't access any game sites at work but I'm positive I read about it on The Magic Box.. I'm not sure if that site has useful search features or not but check it out.

I'm pretty sure there was a sequel made for the gameboy color that was developed by Nintendo.

yep here:

I loved Bionic Commando on the NES. Hopefully we will see one on a regular console sometime soon.

I would second the Pilotwings mention and also add that i would go for a good sequel to Bushido Blade 1&2. Nothing like picking your character, weapon, and then dueling in an environment where you can try to lure the naginata user into the bamboo forest to cripple them. I also loved the ability to throw dirt in their eyes, cripple their arms and legs, and the fact that there was no energy bar. One solid slash with a broadsword and they died, i loved it. I also dug the fact that there were no real ridiculous moves, characters or weapons - it all seemed feasible.

I remember when Crusader: No Remorse and Crusader: No Regret were at the top in there time and there totally fun and its been quite a while now so I would love to see a sequal for those.

Fatman 09-11-03 03:02 PM

I would have to make the sequel to Zak McKracken and the alien mindbenders. Such a fun game, I'd like to see Zak come back and take on that two-headed squirrel again.

The Franchise 09-11-03 03:10 PM

Vagrant Story from PSone. That game was awesome. Never finished it though.

I also second ICO since I loved that game.

Another few games I think would be fun as updates would be California Games (online of course) and Todd's Adventures in Slime World (from the Atari Lynx). Online games need more pick-up and play type, uh, games that you can play with minmal time investment.

PixyJunket 09-11-03 03:19 PM

Jeremy, a sequel WAS planeed for Quantum Redshift (with ONLINE play), but Curly Monsters went kaput. :(

I would agree with you on a sequel to Wipeout 3 that's not Wipeout Fusion, but the truth is the people behind the first 3 Wipeout games formed a little group called Curly Monsters, and well..

Galanthas 09-11-03 03:23 PM

Hmm, I forgot about Warhawk.. I guess it would be toss up between it and Kid Icarus then instead heh.

claweight 09-11-03 03:25 PM

i would love a sequel to Kid Icarus!

-Rush 'n Attack...it would probably end up being like an updated Metal Gear game.

-Skies of Arcadia...minus all the random battles, maybe even turn it into an aquatic adventure!

-Deception...even though this game did have a couple of sequels already (psone) i would love to see them make a brand new one for the latest consoles!

Kicker_of_Elves 09-11-03 03:41 PM

I'd pay a good amount of money for the chance to play Shadowrun 2(Put it on the GBA you bas****'s!!) A sequel to Pilotwings would be great as well.. :drool:
