Good news, but it makes me wonder who would pick it up. Would Sega come back for more? And how would they address the sales?
I think the biggest problem the first game had was that it was black-and-white. I know its the main appeal of the game, but many people seemed to be put off by the art-style. Maybe adding in color would help it sell more?

shitty journalist: hey dude do you want to continue being employed?
dude: yes i would like to continue being employed. i would theoretically work on a new project if i could get paid to do so.
why on earth do so many gaming journalists ask a version of this question. 100% of all directors are willing to make sequels to 100% of all their games, provided demand and publisher support is there.

I was really into the game until I realized that it was the same thing over and over for a short amount of gameplay. Not to mention my wrists started to hurt from the motion controls. But I am all for a sequel as long as they improve upon the first, which is what I expect from any game really.
If, by the slim chance there were a sequel, it'd probably not be on the Wii.
It might even pull a No More Heroes and the team that ported Bayonetta to PS3 might do the same for MadWorld.:lol
With that said, I hope they polish the shit off of what was there, as it's a fun and original game, albeit repetitive.

Outcry on both fronts, game would still sell shitty and people that once were crying for it to be released on their favourite platform would bitch about the game's quality.Vinci said:
Pull a NMH as in the sequel will be on Wii and there will be another title (extended version of the first? didn't keep track) on PS360? Would be quite the contradiction to your first theory.Surgeon Rocket said:

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
i dont know if I'd consider 150kish a 'bomb', though I wonder how it did in Europe? Isnt Spike publishing it in Japan, do those sales count too :lol

Failed litmus test, etc, etc
Would buy, if it happened.
Few things I'd recommend, though?
a) Deeper fighting engine, deeper game play over all - The game really seemed bare bones for what was supposed to be a brawler, so I can agree with this overall sentiment. Less QTEs too, while we're at it.
b) Classic Controller (Pro) Support - I'm sorry, but I hated the notion that I felt like I was fighting with the Wii mote and nunchaku to get things to work. This was especially the case when it came to them Grim Reaper dudes and such. CC Pro for those of us who desire tighter, more reliable controls, plz.

I'm not sure if I get what you're saying here.EatChildren said:
You want them to make the same game (a low key brawler), cut dev cots and increase the resolution? All the while selling it for less money?
If so... do you want Platinum Games to go completely out of business?!

I loved God Hand but had a difficult time with MadWorld, I am against gesture controls and it made me have a hard time with the Wii.
please normalize MadWorld into the PS3/360 wrelm and God Hand it for me!

If Matsuno is on board for the story again I would hope he tries to not leave me scratching my head at the end again.
A few more tweaks with the control and a number of new ways to rack up points, and more side game choice would make for a more solid sequel I believe. I would also hope the commentators stay and they collaborate with the same underground hip hop artists again.

I dunno, man. I just played through MadWorld the past couple days, and not many of the motion controls really struck me as something you couldn't translate to just using the two sticks or the triggers on either of the HD systems' controllers to emulate a la Indigo Prophecy. Which is not to say "MAN THIS GAME SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ON THE WII WHY WAS IT ON THE WII FUCK THE WII" (because that's just stupid) so much as it's to say the motion control stuff was funny and charming, but was more there to provide an added "oomph" instead of a legitimate gameplay benefit and given the choice, I'd much rather have had a second stick mapped to a God Hand style dodging system.Rez said:
But like others have said, the first one was a good starting point with a lot of clever ideas; a sequel could really flesh it out and fix all the repetitiveness. I hope this happens.

I enjoyed MadWorld enough to finish it but that was more than enough.

Ah I see, well considering it is Sega we're speaking of they'd probably make it a PSP exclusive for a smart business move.Surgeon Rocket said:
I hope it failed horribly in Europe, at this day and age shit like the PAL version of MW can't be tolerated any more. I am inclined to believe it bombed though, currently on sale for 5 pounds at Zavvi, although I'd advise against buying the PAL version, even at that price.John Harker said:

Who are you going to listen to, Platinum? All the smart people in this thread asking for a sequel, or a guy who thinks Blaze the Cat is a great character?Black-Wind said:
