New Excitebike. Excitebike 64 was so good.
Though, not direct sequels to '64'...
The developers of Excitebike 64 made a spiritual sequel of sorts, in the form of 'Nitrobike' for the Wii. Though the game's decent and fun; but not that good (visuals were "meh", problems with slowdown sometimes with end affecting the whole tricks/scoring..but, still plays similar to EB64 and has online-multi).

There's also the WiiWare game 'ExciteBike: World Rally' from Monster Games (ExciteTruck and ExciteBots), which is like the original NES game but eith updated visuals, online multiplayer and a level editor:

EDIT:
Posting this, made me go out and rent (again) NitroBike...and it wasn't as "average" as I remember. Basically like ExciteTruck/Bots, but without detours. Visuals (especially character models) are really generic, there wasn't slowdown in the races i tried neither. Online is..well, is there..but noone playing. :p

So if you liked '64' you might enjoy this one too.
 
Ultima VII: Part 3
Descent: Freespace 3
Wing Commander VI
Colony Wars 3
Bioforge 2
Mech Commander III
Mechwarrior V (the FASA production)
Fallout III (the isometric Black Isle version)
X-Wing/Tie Fighter games
Homeworld III
Battletech: The Crescent Hawk's Revenge II

That came out its called Fallout:New Vegas. The mechanics might not have been what you wanted, but most of the story beats seem to be the same ones that were planned out for Van Buren.

I really want to think Warcraft 4 will happen someday with every fiber of my being, but I have me doubts.

To add something to the thread

I really would love new a Boktai/Lunar Knights, but that's never going to happen.
 
Skies of Arcadia 2
Eternal Darkness 2
Shining Force IV
Dragon Force 3
Chrono Break
Billy Hatcher 2 (I'm possibly the only person who wants this)
Theme Hospital 2
Azure Dreams 2 (That horrendous semi-sequel on the DS does not count)

So many (potentially) good games! In a industry that thrives off sequels, it's a shame we're wanting so many! Sequels I still have hope for:

TimeSplitters 4
Banjo Threeie
NiGHTS 3
Sonic Adventure 3
 
I don't even talk about amiga games :(

So:
Might & Magic X(rpg, i got the mandate of heaven, sooo good)

1017455215-00.jpg

1275329127-00.jpg

944432367-00.jpg


And maybe a third game in the Laura Bow series..

1007783599-00.jpg
 
Dreamfall Chapters
Kameo 2
Conker: Live & Reloaded
Grabbed by the Ghoulies 2
Midtown Madness 4
Amped 4
Perfect Dark Zero 2
The Movies 2
 
I really thought there was going to be a strider game from capcom this generation, not sure why I'd think that, but I guessed wrong.
 
My list is mostly of games already listed.
Bulletstorm 2
Dungeon Keeper 3
The Operative 3 (AKA NOLF 3 but that isn't the series' name) Though at this point, I would love to see the original 3 on GoG
Toon Struck 2
Homeworld 3
Elite Beat Agents 2
SiN Episodes 2-9
Anachronox


Some that I didn't see listed:
Amped 4 - Amped 3 is still one of my favorite 360 games.

Dr. Muto 2 - One of my Favorite Xbox Games

Voodoo Vince 2

The Movies 2

Wing Commander 6

Sim Earth 2

Body Harvest 2

Simpsons' Hit & Run 2

Evil Genius 2

Freedom Force 3

Saints Row 4 - I hope I'm wrong but I just don't see the company nor the studio existing long enough to release another. :(

Tex Murphy 6. After 13 years, I think I can give up on that one.
 
I got a few:

Philosoma 2 - I know there was a continuation of the story on the PS2 but that game was in Japan only. I would love to see something similar -- heck, it can even be a PSN only game or a Vita game.

Pandemonium! 3/Gex 4/Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 3/Blood Omen 3 - Just tossing all these into the same batch since they were all series Crystal Dynamics developed before working solely on Tomb Raider.

Kabuki: Quantum Fighter 2 - An old NES game that I know will never get a sequel. The original played like NES Batman and was awesome.

Wing Commander V - I don't care if the game is CG and they get Mark Hamil to be in it voice only. I don't even care if BioWare develops it and makes it Mass Effect reskinned. I just want to see this.

Psychonauts 2 - Epic Mickey engine + this = Profit? Nah, no one buys Warren Specter games. :(

Dino Crisis 4 - Give it RE4/5 gameplay engine and I would get this. Maybe. Still won't happen.

Prince of Persia (2008 version) 2 - I really would love to see a continuation of this but I know it will never happen.

Sonic & The Secret Rings/Sonic & The Black Knight sequel - There was supposed to be a third game in the "Sonic Storybook" series but I don't think we'll ever see. I'm not sure where they could go next.

Beyond Oasis/Legend of Oasis sequel - Now I'm just torturing myself.

I'd love to see System Shock 3 and what Shodan looks like in human form(if the ending of SS2 is anything to go by).

But noooo, its never going to come out.
 
I will never get to play KOTOR 3, although I keep hearing from people that SWTOR is amazing.

I just don't know if I'd like it though. I feel like the bit of WoW I played was okay, but I'd rather just have a single player game.
 
Direct sequel to Rayman 2 is something that will never happen.
No, Rayman 3 doesn't exist. Can't hear you, nanananananana.
 
Jet Grind (anything) new
Shenmue
Seaman (yes they made a sequel but only in Japan)
....and im surprised that no one put Beyond Good And Evil 2.. Yes they have mentioned it... But let's be honest its like Half Life 2 Episode 3 somewhat now.
I have way too much that I could list...
 
Rock n' Roll Racing 2
lalalala I can't hear you, a ps1 sequel doesn't exist
"Ivan scored first place, knockout"
"Shred finished second"
"Jake is in another time"
 
Bubsy 3(D) came out ages ago. It's reviled as one of the worst games ever made.

ulilillia loved it!



Since I already bitched about Condemned 3, I'm going to depress myself further and confirm the post of another individual from earlier, who surmised we shall never see a sequel to Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.
