[Half Life 3 (HL3) doesn’t count as we already know that game is still a long way off from coming out. Like another 5 or more years.]

    Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West sequel. Love the entire series and while christmas this year came early with both a Zero Dawn Remaster and a LEGO Horizon Adventures release (and I’m also really into LEGO so yay!) I can’t wait to see how the story continues after the developments in part two.

    Kingdoms of Amalur. Though I’m just happy the new DLC was decent after such an odd history getting there. I doubt a faithful sequel can be done from scratch.

    Bushido Blade.

    All fighting games are boring in comparison to the first of this franchise. Could literally remaster the first one and change nothing but the graphics and it would be a hit.

    Treasures of the deep as well. That one needs a controller scheme rework for sure.

      I’ve been saying this for YEARS.

      I had high hopes for Hellish Quart; But it just didn’t quite get there for me. It’s been a long time since I played it. Not sure if they’ve added more polish since then…

    Titanfall 3. I’m doubtful it’ll happen as long as Apex Legends and/or the Cal Kestis Jedi series is profitable, and if it does come it’ll be riddled with microtransactions in the multiplayer but honestly if we get some new evolution in the waltz between titans and pilots I’d still dig into the multiplayer for at least a few hundred hours. With the new server-side tech I imagine if they tuned the graphics to a more cartoonish style, they could 100% create a Titanfall-Battlefield crossover game with massive maps and plenty of environmental destruction that would be unbelievably fun and intense. Not to mention TF2’s campaign is in need of a follow-up.

    In the same vein I’d love to see a direct sequel to Red Faction Guerilla. I’m not sure what caused it but it seems like AAA studios have shied away from destructible environments in a stupidly disappointing way. Rainbow 6: Siege is the only modern game with a seeming dedication to unscripted destruction; even Battlefield 2042 notably lacks it. RFG had some unbelievably fun mechanics when it came to the mixture of open world and destruction. Not to mention the themes in that game’s story would resonate well with most people nowadays.

    Dark Messiah: First person action RPG where you kick Orcs into spikes a lot. Add some more gimmicks, more verticality and enemy variety, basically done.

    C&C Generals: Was planned but canceled. The original still has a following, AoE2 had multiple profitable remasters. The genre might be more niche but it isn’t dead.

    Also Slay the Spire and Cyberpunk 2077, but those are actually happening.

      I genuinely had heard plenty of praise that I checked it out more and really liked what I saw in gameplay. I was going to wait till it went on 25% off then pick it up. Then Xbox Game Studios had the brain dead idea to shut down the whole studio that made one of the best new IPs in recent years. After hearing about this, I decided right there that I wasn’t going to buy it ever.

        That’s why “Fuck Micro$oft”. I bought it but didn’t see the news until a few weeks when I was checking about the game and if they were planning a sequel or what. It’s a great game IMO but the studio got shut down because Micro$oft fucking sucks
