I wanted to see KOTOR 3 for years, but after seeing the writing in TOR and knowing Disney has bought the IP, I don't expect it, and I wouldn't be super excited if they actually make it.
I genuinely had heard plenty of praise that I checked it out more and really liked what I saw in gameplay. I was going to wait till it went on 25% off then pick it up. Then Xbox Game Studios had the brain dead idea to shut down the whole studio that made one of the best new IPs in recent years. After hearing about this, I decided right there that I wasn't going to buy it ever.
That's why "Fuck Micro$oft". I bought it but didn't see the news until a few weeks when I was checking about the game and if they were planning a sequel or what. It's a great game IMO but the studio got shut down because Micro$oft fucking sucks
If it's not out within the next 4 years, it will officially be the case that more time has passed between Elder Scrolls 5 and 6 than Elder Scrolls 1 through 5.
17 years between Arena and Skyrim compared to 13 years so far since Skyrim's release in 2011 (and counting, almost up to 14 years if counting from calendar year alone).
When Skyrim came out, Bethesda promised free new Bethesda games for life to parents of kids born on 11/11/11 who named their child Dovahkiin. Young Dovahkiin is almost in high school now, and of the promised free games, their parents have earned a whopping:
That announcement and the "development progress" follow up was fake to placate people getting angry over Failout 76. If they even started to working on it, it was 2023 the soonest.
If you want Half Life 3, go play the Entropy Zero mods. It's fanon, but they actually respect the franchise. Think of it as HL2's own Opposing Forces. The first one is good, but the second is better in every regard.
What I'm looking forward to the most right now is whatever the next installment of Entropy Zero will be. There's some spinoff stuff and a proper sequel in the works.
I'm also interested in Project Borealis, but that's untested for the moment.
Titanfall 3. I’m doubtful it’ll happen as long as Apex Legends and/or the Cal Kestis Jedi series is profitable, and if it does come it’ll be riddled with microtransactions in the multiplayer but honestly if we get some new evolution in the waltz between titans and pilots I’d still dig into the multiplayer for at least a few hundred hours. With the new server-side tech I imagine if they tuned the graphics to a more cartoonish style, they could 100% create a Titanfall-Battlefield crossover game with massive maps and plenty of environmental destruction that would be unbelievably fun and intense. Not to mention TF2’s campaign is in need of a follow-up.
In the same vein I’d love to see a direct sequel to Red Faction Guerilla. I’m not sure what caused it but it seems like AAA studios have shied away from destructible environments in a stupidly disappointing way. Rainbow 6: Siege is the only modern game with a seeming dedication to unscripted destruction; even Battlefield 2042 notably lacks it. RFG had some unbelievably fun mechanics when it came to the mixture of open world and destruction. Not to mention the themes in that game’s story would resonate well with most people nowadays.
I'm not exactly expecting a sequel, but something in the Freelancer universe. Best spaceflight-ship-action combat game ever made, but never got the love it deserves... Even the story was good and entertaining.
Today all X3 spaceflight-ship are either a pain in the ass where you have to be an engineer to even get started, or need to grind 1000 hours to even begin to have "fun". I miss freelancer's simplicity and space fights...
Yeaaah I tried the last one, while It comes close and was fun to play, I missed the free universe roaming even if it was mostly empty (like the real deal xD).
or another Super Lucky's Tale, with a bit more challange. That game was a real surprise, how nice of a platformer it is, also really really great music.
I’ve been saying a new mother game or at least remake in the same art style of the studio that did echoes of wisdom and links awakening would be phenomenal
I've been diving into Fallout lately. Love the world building. Definitely wouldn't mind a 5th installment. May wait a few years after they release it for them to fix the worst of the bugs before playing it though. Bethesda may make great games, but damn they a buggy mess.
I personally think blood omen was a way better game then all those 3d sequels. I would welcome a game in that style, kinda cool story and lots of secrets to be found.
The Pokémon main line games. I really hope to see they'll improve and maybe even reach a somewhat okay level of quality. But let's be honest, they'll probably fuck up big time with the next generation as well
The things I care about have been getting stripped away every game, and they're selling more copies than ever. I suspect the next mainline game will be the first time since the Gold/Silver remakes that I actively choose to not buy a mainline Pokemon game.
Say what you want about how much of a buggy mess that game was, it taught me to enjoy buggy messes of games to a certain degree and also to love challenge to a degree (because of said bugs).
Oh by crew I meant Shepard's crew, I grew attached those characters from the original trilogy. I'm not up to date but I haven't seen any hints of characters coming back except for Liara, not sure if it even makes sense to bring them back.
Probably Freelancer it's going to sound weird because supposedly the Elite/X games are better, but I've honestly never enjoyed them as much as I liked Freelancer.
Basically flying about in a ship, doing missions and upgrading weapons etc until you can buy a better ship, online was fun as well.
Yep Freelancer was awsome ! Online fights were epic !
Going in the Nomads sector to drop their weapon or looking for a hidden ship wreck in a meteor cloud or just chilling in the empty/cold space and blasting pirates you encounter.
The single player story was very enjoyable and was not that bad for the time. Makes me sad it's in the hands of Microsoft's cold case :(.
NMS was what I hoped would be the freelancer part 2 but it's just an exploring game. While fun on its own, completely lacks any real danger and that just kills it for me.
All fighting games are boring in comparison to the first of this franchise. Could literally remaster the first one and change nothing but the graphics and it would be a hit.
Treasures of the deep as well. That one needs a controller scheme rework for sure.
I had high hopes for Hellish Quart; But it just didn't quite get there for me. It's been a long time since I played it. Not sure if they've added more polish since then...
Elder Scrolls 6, but after Starfield shown Bethesda is willing to sabotage the best thing about their games (modding) for no reason i'm not hyped at all.
X-Com 3, but i'm extremely pessimistic after the awful Chimera Squad, completely missed Midnight Suns and the generally weird direction entire genre seems to take lately with abandoning strategic layer in favour of boring sneaky real time exploration.
I would love Battletech 2 and Battlefleet Gothic 3 but there is zero hope after both of those series got dropped harder than 1000 ton steel ball in the ocean.
Sonic Frontiers 2 or another Sonic game with the Frontiers formula.
The first game was really good and promising. Technical problems aside, the experiment the Sonic Team did (the open zones) worked great and was the best part of the game. After the success of Shadow Generations, which also implemented the Frontiers formula on an smaller scale, I'm pretty sure the next big game would be way past Amazing.
It is both! A rerelease and a new game put together. The Shadow part wasn't just "new content", it was a whole independent story with new game mechanics and such. It was weird but it worked out pretty well.
I have the idea that it was a way for the Sonic Team to test again the Frontiers formula without remaking all Frontiers the ground up. They were like: "Does the people really REALLY liked this formula?", and after the success they'll be like"Yep, they like it. Let's go for it".
Endless Ocean: Blue World. I got Endless Ocean: Luminous for Christmas and it is so half-assed and soulless that playing it actually raises my stress level instead of reducing it. My disappointment is truly immeasurable. It turns into anger because there are decisions that are just so objectively bad that they clearly knew were bad but just didn't care.
That's good to hear. I got to play some of the prologue yesterday and hearing the PDA boop in the intro took me right back.
I'm looking forward to being immersed in that atmosphere again.
Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West sequel. Love the entire series and while christmas this year came early with both a Zero Dawn Remaster and a LEGO Horizon Adventures release (and I'm also really into LEGO so yay!) I can't wait to see how the story continues after the developments in part two.
Kingdoms of Amalur. Though I'm just happy the new DLC was decent after such an odd history getting there. I doubt a faithful sequel can be done from scratch.
I was so distraught when the studio was closed despite selling extremely well and working on a sequel. I am beyond excited now that the studio has been picked up by Zenimax Krafton. There's no confirmation, but you don't go from planning a sequel to a breakout hit, to being closed down, to being picked up by another parent company just to scrap said sequel.
EDIT: Fixed the company buy-up. Forgot the order of things.
Dark Messiah: First person action RPG where you kick Orcs into spikes a lot. Add some more gimmicks, more verticality and enemy variety, basically done.
C&C Generals: Sequel was planned but canceled. The original still has a following, AoE2 had multiple profitable remasters. The genre might be more niche but it isn't dead.
Bulletstorm: Stupid fun FPS with a ridiculous story, not quite a "boomer shooter" but a sequel could definitely profit from that current trend.
Also Slay the Spire and Cyberpunk 2077, but those are actually happening.
Vampire masquerade bloodlines...yes I know they're working on one, but they've been working on it for years now and it's been bouncing around to different devs, which just seem to either try and make it something else or deviate from the original completely.
Not true sequels, but Alabaster Dawn from the Crosscode Devs, and Psycho Patrol R from the Cruelty Squad Dev! Both are some of my favorite games, so I can't wait to see the "successor" games come out!
Grim Dawn. We're getting a new expansion sometime, and I'm fucking hyped, but I want to see more of Cairn. I want to see even more regions, I want to see time pass and how this world tries to recover, how far the gods have truly fallen, how far the Witch Gods may go now that things have broken so deeply.
Fallout 4. I think they did most things right with Survival mode and I'd consider it an entirely different game than the vanilla 'fast travel and save anywhere' experience, and it'd be fun to see an even more polished version with more focus on surviving in a world where NPCs are also trying to survive as opposed to more mechanics that don't really broach that aspect such as settlement building. If they made a Fallout 5 that was a bit more challenging in that regard I'd probably consider it a masterpiece
Sundered. I would love to see the equivalent of Rogue Legacy 2 for that game, where the sequel completely supplants the original while expanding upon the storytelling and lore.
Once I thought it was just as far away as Half Life 3, but after 27 years of inactivity they started making a remake of LBA 1. Perhaps it will lead to a remake of LBA 2 and the eventually LBA 3.
It's long dead thanks to kinect, but another Sonic Riders game would be amazing.
Absolutely loved Zero Gravity and never played the others (because I didn't know they were part of a series), but I would absolutely love even just a combination of the air fuel like mechanic of the original combined with the gravity meteor ring things. No clue what the kinect version would bring since I've never heard that good of things about it besides the main theme being great, so maybe exclude elements from that title.
Magic Carpet 3 - loved the feeling af flying and magic system. Always wondered why nobody made this Ingo a VR title hence solving the motion sickness problem by 'standing' on the magic carpet.
Shadows of Mordor/War 3 - such a versatile gameplay, ever-changing throughout the game.
Fatal Frame, also could use a remake of 1 and 3. 2 got the Wii rerelease. I just want ones with a good English Japanese accented dub ala Ghost of Tsushima
