Sequels you're irrationally holding out hope for?

"As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master."
-- Commissioner Pravin Lal, "U.N. Declaration of Rights"

I don't know how a sequel would work. Perhaps I don't even want a sequel. A retelling would probably be the best option. Keep the story, but improve upon ICS.

Why is my hope irrational?
It's adding complication to a thinning genre. They're already going pretty far out there on the next Civ. We'll see how well that goes over. Introducing a sci-fi and story element to civilization simply means a lot of people will have more trouble figuring out what is going on. Rifles are easy to understand. What the hell is gauss weaponry?

So many great advancements are possible.

Why is my hope irrational?
Relic.
THQ.

I'd be thoroughly surprised to see a proper sequel to this series. At best I'd hoping the engine is highly modifiable.
 
Dark Sector sequel that's more in line with what they originally showed when this gen first started. Although I did enjoy how the current game turned out.
 
Eternal Darkness 2 - I know there was trouble with Too Human, but the first Eternal Darkness took the Resident Evil formula and refined it perfectly. I'm just afraid they'll screw it up.

X-wing or TIE Fighter series - I miss the series, and there is no reason this can't be brought back if they wanted to.

Star Wars Rogue Squadron 4 - Same as above

Republic Commando 2 - Surprisingly fun, curious what a sequel would bring.
 
Jedi Knight/Dark Forces. Those games were so fun to play both single and multiplayer. It was so tight and easy to control unlike that Force Unleashed game and the force powers, light sabers, and guns provided tons more depth then most games offer now days. I know if they did make a new one it would probably suck, but I can't help but to hold out hope.

Age of Empires. That series and the company that made it didn't deserve to die the way it did. I was hoping they could outsource it someday to whatever studio ex-ensemble employees created, but all most ended up doing is creating tons of tiny iPhone studios. But still maybe some company has the right talent to create a good outsourced AoE game.

Mega Man Legends or just a new Mega Man franchise in general, because I honestly like the Mega Man universe but am tired of seeing the same two or three games released over and over again.

Mirror's Edge 2. As time passes and we don't hear a peep I'm getting a sinking suspicion EA put it on the backburner and we may never see a sequel. Game had some flaws but there's so much more potential in the first-person platforming.

EA published three Skate games in 3 years though! Can't wait for Skate 4, 5, 6 and 7!

Yeah last we heard it was a small team working on it and they were still trying to decide what 'direction' they wanted to go with it. Given that Dice have a lot on their plate I can imagine it has gone from small team to no team.
 
-A true Banjo-Kazooie 3 (I enjoyed Nuts and Bolts but not as much as the original style).
-A new Chrono ______ game.

k thx

Freedom Fighters 2. That game was amazing, a very under rated third person shooter gem! Great multiplayer too!

also Timesplitters 4
 
Sequels suck and are ruining the industry. Company X makes the most new IP and is great because of it.

I want the following sequels:
 
Battlefield 3.

I just don't see this happening. They might make something and call it BF3 but it won't take advantage of the PC platform's strengths.
 
Mario Kart Wii 2 (just give me 32 new tracks, half can be remakes even)
Mirror's Edge 2
Luigi's Mansion 2
Jet Force Gemini 2
Beyond Good & Evil 2
