For some reason I was thinking about The Getaway this morning and I says to m'self I says "Ya know Far-Queue ol' pal o' mine? Wouldn't mind playin' a new er updated version uh dat."

Not that I'm clamoring for a sequel, but it'd pique my curiosity if something got announced. Could name dozens of games that fit into that space.

What are yours? I'd even consider games that started out great and fell off over time, like Tony Hawk (although 5 was flat-out awful) or Dead Space. As long as the last game released was mediocre-ish, what's something you'd like to see a capable developer take a crack at rejuvenating?

I'd like to see another one of those Knights of Amalur games. Or a new Fable that's more like the original game. Fable 2 wasn't nearly as good and Fable 3 was a piece of shit.

I was going to say Dark Cloud, but that's not mediocre by any stretch. It's straight up great.

theres the MMO and the mobile game. Unfortunately that seems like a better indication of the direction bethesda games studio wants to head down.

dont care what promises they make before release, I fully expect ESVI to be monetized to hell and back in all sorts of shitty ways.

I agree with whoever said Kingdoms of Amalur. It's a fun game with a great fantasy setting. I think they planned a franchise but instead the developer went bankrupt or something.

R. A. D. - Robot Alchemic Drive. (PS2)

The voice acting was so bad it hit Ed Wood territory, but the gameplay was like nothing else I've ever played. Giant robots with Fight Night controls, destructible buildings...on a current gen system this could be so much better again.

I wouldn't call it mediocre, but Headhunter. First game is great. Second one...not as great, but still good.

I second Metal Arms. That game needs its sequel already!

I would love to see another Shinobi game, almost seems like one of Sega's long forgotten franchises. Granted, they had a game about 8 years ago, but it really hasn't had any real traction since 2003.

Anachronox is another game I would love if they continued the story of, even though it isn't technically a "series" (it was supposed to be, but ION Storm shutdown after the first game was released).

Came here to say Dark Cloud actually. I think the world building and time building? Aspect was pretty nice and the monsters were interesting to face but some aspects kinda fell flat, like what the above poster mentioned. I thought boss fights, while cool were a bit... messy. Would be nice to see a game or remake in today's world.

Heres the different tho. In breath of the wild, your weapons are fairly whatever. You cant upgrade them. Their current condition is pretty much the best itll ever be. In Dark Cloud, you spend hours leveling them up and upgrading them so you can do better hits and meanwhile, you have to keep eyes on your hunger, thirst, and weapon hp or youre fucked.

Other than the friendly AI having issues, and missions sometimes spawning too many enemies, I'm not finding much getting in the way of my enjoyment. I'm certainly not finding it a mess that didn't turn out well.

I'd love to see WET get a sequel. The first game had a lot of gameplay issues, but it was otherwise really fun with an amusing/silly story.

Likewise, Magi-Nation had some issues, but I'd love to see it get a sequel because it did a lot of things neat.

Otherwise for good franchises that need more games, let's keep Monster Rancher going.
