[Half Life 3 (HL3) doesn’t count as we already know that game is still a long way off from coming out. Like another 5 or more years.]
I just want my hypnospace outlaw sequel. It was supposed to come out like a year ago and then never did.
Days Gone 2 (not gonna happen though).
Smugglers Run - Good premise. I think it could be great with the right modern touches.
Tenchu: Stealth Assassins - I know Sekiro started that way but I’d like a legit sequel with legit developed mechanics/story from the originals.
MTV Music Generator/Music 2000 - I think the multiplayer Jam Mode was ahead of its time, and someone should revisit that aspect in a modern mindset.
Little Big Adventure 3.
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.
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.
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.
Hollow Knight
I know Team Cherry is working on it, but I’m still pumped for when they’re ready to release it.
Legacy of Kain
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.
I was hoping it’d get a ton of traction with the remasters but steam charts/DB numbers don’t look promising.
Katana Zero
Bushido Blade.
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’ve been saying this for YEARS.
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…
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.
Generals!!!
F-Zero
Mass Effect. Not sure how I will feel without the old crew tho.
Ive been following Exodus here and there. Its being made by many of the original Bioware people.
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.
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.
