I'm not gonna lie, I was expecting Wii titles, Final Fantasy and other stupid stuff.. but this list is actually pretty decent :)

A sequel without Yu Suzuki? :-/

Why, is he busy working on something else? Bring him out of his so-called retirement.

Besides, I'm pretty sure there's a complete design document lying around somewhere for the rest of the Shenmue story, including some gameplay scenarios. Remember Kikizo said that a source told them that the game was finished and ready to be ported to a next gen console. (Hi Adam!!)

I WANT A NEW POKEMON STADIUM ON THE WII AND ON THE DS WHERE YOU CAN FIGHT POKEMON ACROSS PLATFORMS AND BECOME THE ULTIMATE TRAINER. ALSO POKEMON SNAP WOULD BE GREAT.

Whatever.


I have no idea wtf we are even talking about here.


wait......what?


Eh. I could go for that I guess.


"Oh! Oh! That game that came out like 2 seconds ago!!!"


Xenosaga blows.


forgot to specify "srpg." whoops.

Did you say whatever to sequels to ZOE and Chrono and Shenmue. You just alienated yourself from 95% of GAF :lol

And Kowloon's Gate rocks, although since 90% of GAF probably doesn't even know what game it is I'll give you some leeway on that one.

Well probably because those series getting a sequel is a given.

Strap on your hooker ...
Might wanna put "aka Rival Schools/Project Justice" next to Justice Gakuen so more people can say "OMG FUCK YES" in agreement.

OMG FUCK YES, by the way.
 
I'd vote for Bullet Witch, it's one of my favorite X360 games, BUT you have to be able to forgive some of the flaws and general lack of polish. I'd love a sequel that fixed the problems of the first.

Can't make up my mind if it's good that there isn't 1 FF title there or not but really hope Sega takes note of SHENMUE.

ugh, I knew that list would hardly represent anything. These people could basically be the only ones who went out and bought the prequels.

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!
All 12 people that bought Okami in Japan voted it #3? How big was this population sample?

Edit: NM, just saw the votes list. Makes sense now.

Quite clearly aimed at games where no sequels are expected/announced (hence the lack of Zelda/MGS/FF/MH/DQ(!) etc.).

With 249 votes i'm sure they will...:p

But seriously I can understand why they will never do it though ironically a game like Shenmue would do extremely well nowadays even playing it now it's still well ahead of other so called 'open world games' in terms of characterisation and exploration it's still tops.

Sigh...:(

Iv'e always thought that. Plus on this generation hardware it could look so awesome. Now this makes me all nostalgic and a bit sad just thinking about it.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
SheMue should be a no-brainer i mean they already got their next-gen engine for yakuza kenzan/3.

I'm pretty sure the sixty-five people who voted for sequels have bought the respective first games.

I know about the MMO. From the sounds of it, it's in name only.

I want a single player end to the story.
 
Shenmue Sega
Rockman X (aka Mega Man X) Capcom
Chrono Square Enix
Z.O.E Konami
Biohazard Outbreak Capcom


YESSSS.

Shenmue 3 is a must. Wouldn't mind a Shenmue 1/2 remake with some new mechanics and graphics to lead people into S3.

HD Megaman X with 2D handdrawn sprites ftw.

Chrono 3? Probably the most obvious shit ever. Square is embarrassing for not pursuing this.

I'd rather see Kojima work on a new project than go back to Z.O.E but a ZOE3 could be EPIC.

Biohazard Outbreak? YESSSSS. Best of both worlds capcom. RE can go back to singleplayer mastery and Outbreak can be the cooperative and competitive version of the series.

Nah, Shenmue was the definition of mediocre. I think EGM put it best when they gave it like a 6.0 and said it's a good "door knocking sim".

So insanely boring.

I heard Shenmue 2 was better at least.

Both got 65 votes. Same amount, Famitsu probably just ordered them alphabetically.

IU was actually an amazingly good game. The problem with the game was that Square didn't give enough funds to Tri-ace to pay for good VO talent. In the end, willfull suspension was ruined. I played the entire game muted listening to a OST and enjoyed the experience ten times more. The voice acting realyl ruins an otherwise great JRPG.
