Too Human. The fact that I'll never get the trilogy still stings.
Oh, and I don't know if I'd call it underrated, but I hate that we're not getting Alan Wake 2.

Quest 64 is not a good game, but I loved it a lot as a kid and was so excited for the sequel that I printed out this IGN article to show my friends at school.
As expected, no one cared but me.

Kameo 2 and Perfect Dark Core, although admittedly the concept art for Kameo 2 looked much more realistic and horrendous.
Both had good launch titles for their time, PDZ had 32 players online and I thought it was fun but obviously suffered a lot due to its development issues and hasn't aged well at all, though.
Kameo was very fun, I enjoyed it and hoped we'd see a sequel but that will probably never happen now, looked great and still holds up well (graphically) now.
Turok's sequel got cancelled too, that was a shame as despite some issues I liked it.

Oh god don't it still hurts
Underrated enough that the third game's marketing got shanghai'd in favour of the newest attempt to ape Goldeneye. Also, it's basically been confirmed at this point that interest in the series is so low, they can't even justify a HD remake.
Oh, and the company they're part of now is one of the most dull, homogenized members of the AAA crew, so a cartoony game like TS is basically never getting made under them.

1. There was never a confirmed sequel in the first place.
2. One of the leakers here confirmed a Bloodbourne-from-DarkSouls-sort-of-evolution a few weeks ago.

It was still under development when they were Cry UK. Then they got to do shitty Crysis MP modes.

True Crime Hong Kong was almost canceled until SE took it and made Sleeping Dogs.

Perfect Dark Core
This was supposed to be the original sequel to the N64 game for the Xbox 360(originally for Gamecube), after the dissapointing PD Zero...
Perfect Dark Core [Cancelled/Prototype]

Fun fact, True Crime Hong Kong started out as a completely new IP called Black Lotus.

And yeah, underrated NOW because too much people complain about the hitbox of the ship in the vertical kind-of-mode7 stages.
This was an amazing ass game! I remember sequel was in the works and was going to be called Imperial Commando but was cancelled.
Yoo this game was dope, i wish it got a sequel

Twisted Metal Black.
It's underrated in the sense that you never really hear people talk about it when the PS2 comes up.

Rumour posted here by Kotaku : http://kotaku.com/5017126/heavenly-sword-2-axed-ninja-theory-moving
Leaked concept art : http://www.allgamesbeta.com/2012/08/heavenly-sword-2-lost-concept-art.html
It should also be noted that the above concept art has been confirmed to not be Ninja Theory's work, but since Sony own the IP it will have been on of their own studios.

This might still happen with EA having the licence to make SW games.
Unlikely, but there's a tiny shred of hope it might...

I didn't know I could make a building collapse by shooting it with a shot gun.
It was unappreciated by the market.
Well, we'll never lose hope on TLG.
Mortal Kombat Fire & Ice
Sequel to Shaolin Monks
A sequel, a PSP port were in the works and even an HD port was considered. The game sold well in the long run, but low preorders and sales at first (it shipped a million in nearly 2 years across two platforms) and lack of interest from the general public (at first) were part of the reasons the sequel/ports never took of. The original dev team ended mostly with THQ after Midway's fallout...and we all know what happened to THQ.
Is why Ed Boon usually mentions that people should let WB know another one is wanted. They know people has been asking for more over the years, and while the first one did well, it wasn't as well as a publisher would like to continue spending on more.
