Favorite games that never got a sequel or follow up

First game that comes to mind is Astral Chain. This game deserves a sequel. It was unique and fun, and a lot of people enjoyed it. Not sure why it did not get a follow up, I think it sold at least a million units. How about you, SW? What are your favorite games that never got a sequel or follow up game?

Bloodborne......

God Hand and Vanquish immediately spring to mind.

@SolidGame_basic: Yeah Astral Chain is a good one, absolutely adored that game. Hopefully we'll get a sequel on the Switch successor.

I will take another metal gear rising revengence please and thank you.... Gameplay that succulent should make babies.

Good news, Stellar Blade is your next Revengence😏

Don't you dare.... Stellar Blade has Blade mode for real?!

@Archangel3371: I had a great time with Vanquish.

I thought Kingdoms of Amalur was pretty good. Had potential for a better sequel.

Codename S.T.E.A.M. It's a turn-based strategy game. It's basically Fire Emblem with guns. The cutscenes were hysterical. I don't know if the developers had intended for them to be so off-the-wall, but either way, they were brilliant.

Skies of Arcadia

Crimson Skies

Blur

Just to name a few.

Sunset overdrive

Vanquish is a good answer too.

Bully

Freedom Fighters

Crimson Skies

The Order 1886

Ryse

Bulletstorm

I remember that game getting trashed at launch, I think Gamespot gave it like a 5 or a 4 if I remember correctly.

Days Gone

Kotor 2, I would love to get a sequel but I know it's not coming.

The game I wanted a sequel for launched this year. 😎

This tops the list, all day every day!! :P

Sunset overdrive thought it was a fun game really enjoyed it. Sadly no chance of a sequel.

@saint-george: The Getaway got a sequel, it's so bad everyone has forgotten it, but it stull got a sequel.

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. Left us a cliffhanger.

I can KIND OF see why Astral Chain hadn't gotten a sequel though. Not because of sales as it did well. But as it involves police, which given the west and even some places in Asia (Hong Kong for instance) towards cops. I myself hadn't gone back to it since the 2020 protests.

The one on everyone's mind: Bloodborne.

Also Sekiro.

It did?...well f€%k a duck.

Ahh black monday..after watching a youtube clip i recall playing it.

I'll go with the warriors

Good choice ;)

Anyway I took a gamble calling it bad because honestly I don't know these two games. Is black friday really that bad a sequel?

And weren't they planning a third one for PS3?

Yeah, it was underrated, in my view. I would've given it a 7.

Codename S.T.E.A.M. received a 6/10 score from GameSpot. One of the issues that game had was its slow pacing of its turned-based combat. It was fixed by an update.

The game surprised me as it depicts Abraham Lincoln, not as President of the United States, but as a captain of a airship. Since the game takes place in the 1860s, Intelligent Systems put him in that role even though he should be leading the United States in fighting a civil war during that period.

Shadow Tactics comes to mind. Expansion just before Mimimi Games died out but no sequel. Never will be.

Crimson Skies! Game was so good!

Astral Chain

Jade Empire

Bulletstorm

Are some great picks as well. Very much enjoyed those games.

I almost forgot it got a sequel in the first place (and totally forgot to mention those games in your GTV clone) and I almost pick it up upon release but the bad reviews sway me away. But the first game is a blast mainly it was the only time your able to play GTA clone set in London.

I wish Sony would give it another chance on the Getaway game.

Yeah didn't the Getaway 1 have a unique cover based shooting mechanic?

Crimson skies got a sequel on the Xbox. Fun too but not as good as the original. I'd still love to see a new one though. MS? Maybe? C'mon. Do it.

Starlancer did get a sequel in the form of Freelancer but they were to very different games. I'd love to see a new Starlancer. Hopefully Squadron 42 is the spiritual successor at least.

A new Freelancer would also be nice...though X4 has that pretty well covered (Patch 7 i'm going to dig into that. This time i mean it....maybe).

And Freespace 3...the holy grail. 1 and 2 were awesome (2 more so) AND it left on a down note.

Lot of good games already mentioned, so I'll try to keep this to IPs that haven't been brought up yet (Though will shout out Crimson Skies too. Seriously Phil, how many handjobs do you need to greenlight a new one? Because I'll do it).

Resonance of Fate. Ever wonder why Sega sucks now? Look in the mirror, bitch. When they make cool stuff, you don't buy it. RoF is a steampunk jrpg with unique and hard to put into words battle system. But trust me, it's a lot of fun once you wrap your head around it. Just remember to keep your team moving. Attacks will stack and get way more cinematic if your character's paths cross.

Freelancer. Microsoft could win at trolling if they make a sequel to this before Star Citizen comes out. Same with EA and Wing Commander (Come'on guys. Motive showed they can make a good space combat game with SW Squadrons).

Heavy Metal: Geomatrix. Just dumb fun arena combat, and (sort of) based on Heavy Metal comics so there's big tiddys everywhere. Gamers are totally starving for those right now apparently. I do think Anarchy Reins was kind of a modern (for the time) update of the idea, but that needs a sequel too.

Going to lump Eternal Darkness, Geist, and Pandora's Tower together for this. Ever wonder why Nintendo doesn't publish M rated games? Look in the mirror, bitch. When they do, you don't buy them :)

Freelancer is a good one.

Could do with more games like that.

I tell you why i got into the first so much i was working in london at the time and they took photos of the shops and houses and used real roads that made the open world a very realistic representation,

The 2nd well i didn't even remember it till i watched about 10 mins of a youtube walkthru and i recalled playing it so it couldn't have been that good to me.

As for a 3rd, a snatch/lock stock/the gentleman esq guy richie laaandan Gangster game would do well imo

a modern shadow of the collosus sequel could be very cool.

vanquish is a good shout.

alien isolation is too good not to have a sequel. trim the fat, evolve the stealth mechanics, new location, better use of the environment in gameplay, nail that atmosphere again... i'd love that.

splinter cell 4. sam back where he belongs as a third echelon operative being sent out on top secret high stakes missions across the globe. ironside back. all the old gadgets and mechanics back and evolved - remote hacking, pistol ocp / emp etc. grim and lambert back in his earpiece. none of the personal life crisis nonsense. pretend double agent and even the decent ps2 and og xbox version didn't happen. also not made by ubi
