Adventure games that deserve a sequel
I looked for a topic like this but no topic like this one was found/seen on the site. I noticed that alot of people on youtube are begging for a few things like a sequel to this and that. I know there WERE sequels to some games in development but they were shut down...
Normally a sequel isnt that good{setting out an exmaple most of the DTV movies from Disney} but however some titles deserve it...So what adventure games do u think deserve a sequel? In my opinion these are the games that deserve a sequel Stay tooned Toonstuck Indiana Jones: Fate of Atlantis and FULL THROTTLE{I know alot of people are begging for this one} |

Gabriel Knight 3 definitely deserves a follow up. We need to know what happened to

The Lost Crown. It would be cool if you had some kind of tandem thing with Nigel and Lucy.

Have they announced a Dreamfall sequel? I agree with Fahrenheit, although I'd like to see less of a sequel and more of remake, like you say - with the intended ending.

Couldn't agree more. And while I'm at it, I'll add:
1. Gabriel Knight (4) 2. King's Quest (IX - or VIII, if they want to forget the dreadful Mask of Eternity) 3. Police Quest (V - give Sonny back to us!) 4. Leisure Suit Larry VIII

Jokes aside, I have some recent games that I care about - like the Casebook series, The Longest Journey and Dreamfall, the two Syberia and a couple of others - but nothing that really stands out in comparison with the old Sierra series. And it's not plain and simple nostalgia: it's something more deep. I found that the vast majority of nowadays titles lack an heart, that's saying a distinct, unique personality, like the Art of Murder games, which are just dull, uninspired copycats of better titles, at least as far as I'm concerned. I have some hope for games yet to be released, like The Whispered World, Three Cards to Midnight and - of course - Jane Jensen's Gray Matter.

I, for one, don't care at all about graphics, or sound, or voice acting. If you read some of my posts and/or reviews, you know that what really matters the most to me is the story, and the writing. A good story and quality writing. Two things we don't get very often nowadays.

I'd really like to see some new, quality Indiana Jones adventure game. Judging from the demo, Fountain of Youth should do the job well when it gets released.
New Gabriel Knight from Jane Jensen of course. Otherwise, I just want new, original titles from proven authors. There are very few long running series that don't lose something important that make the first part(s) great.

I don't know about a sequel, but there is one game in particular that I'd love to see remade completely...
Anyone remember Mansion of Hidden Souls on the Sega CD (and/or Saturn)? It was one of my favorites when I was younger, but unfortunately it doesn't stand the test of time very well. The Sega hardware was hugely limiting, and it really shows in the animation & controls. Also, the voice acting is pretty awful (I highly encourage you to watch the YouTube clip I linked for a good laugh!). But overall I loved the concept of the game...the children, the butterflies...it was haunting & mysterious without really being "horror." It would be awesome to play through this game with updated graphics, sound, and perhaps more content and additional rooms to explore. (It was a pretty short game.) Maybe this should go on the "Adventure games that deserve a remake" thread if there is one! |

Eheh... Agree: the voices are terrible. I liked the musical score, though, a lot.

Based on the link you posted I think what Ragnar meant was that Dreamfall chapters will be a continuation of the dreamfall game and TLJ2 the sequel to the original TLJ since he doesn't consider dreamfall a direct sequel to TLJ.

I 2nd "The Lost Crown", since it was a great story by itself but left a lot of things open for a sequel. And it really deserves it. Jonathan will be, but after Dark Fall 3. And yes, Dreamfall should, too.
