Dead Franchises that need to come back or have a sequel?

Duke Nukem

Gex

Conker

Vigilante 8

The X-COM series (excluding X-COM: ENFORCER, god what a turd that was)

to go to the consoles, one game i really enjoyed was METAL ARMS: GLITCH in the SYSTEM

Id like to see a legend of Dragoon remake/sequel.

Yeah, I've been begging for that for years.

Capcom needs to make a Power Stone 3.

Gex became a bit too cheesy near the end, but I agree that his games were genuinely entertaining.

I don't feel Monster Rancher has gotten an amazing game since Monster Rancher 2 came out. Four was pretty good, but it just didn't nearly reach the same greatness as nr. 2. I don't expect a new entry in the series, though. :(

Ice Climbers or Kid Icarus. :P

...and this. HD sequels of the games would rock!

Turrican.

Even if it was simply an HD remake of Turrican 2 or Super Turrican I'd be perfectly happy.

Eternal Darkness, Tie Fighter, Xcom, Star Wars Battlefront, Duke Nukem

viewtiful joe was a BA game i wanna again.

maybe road rash or something. that would be a good XBLA game

i know theres a lot im not thinking of, damn you mary jane

And how could I forget? Jet Grind Radio/Jet Set Radio Future. I'd love to see a comeback for that franchise.

The games I always wanted to continue are:

Kings Quest

Earthsiege or Tribes

Roller Coaster Tycoon

Duke Nukem

Unreal

Elder Scrolls

Lands of Lore

Serious Sam

Dungeon Keeper

Crusin. Maybe for 360, and PS3. Maybe even Wii?

Ah....those were the days.....

Vigilante 8

loft8000

That was ok, but it would be even better if they remade Interstate 76. Cars with guns is an awesome concept.

And how could I forget? Jet Grind Radio/Jet Set Radio Future. I'd love to see a comeback for that franchise.

You know, as much as I dislike continual sequels in some franchises, I do think some of the older franchises could stand a 'remake' or 'revamp' with modern graphics/audio, while keeping true to the fundamental gameplay. For example, I think Lucasarts did a great job with the special edition of Secret Of Monkey Island, and I wish they would revitalise all of their old adventure games in the same way. But there are other franchises worth resurrecting for the same treatment. This would help to bring some of the 'classics' to a new audience, particularly those games that are now graphically quite dated. So, these are the franchises that I think could be successfully 'rebooted':

Eye Of The Beholder 1 & 2
Ultima series including Underworld 1 & 2
Dark Forces and Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 (these could actually be combined into a single experience with some creative thinking).
Magic Carpet
Dungeon Keeper
Betrayal At Krondor
Beneath A Steel Sky
Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis
Monkey Island 2
Broken Sword (aka Circle Of Blood)
Heretic 1 & 2
Outlaws
Blood
Blade Runner (this would be better as a Deus Ex kind of game)
Shogo: MAD
System Shock (yes, the original game)
Baldur's Gate (upgrade the graphics, and allow the ability to zoom in on your characters)
Thief - the original story
Unreal - could be pretty epic on a current game engine
Outcast - without the voxels. :P
Planescape: Torment
Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura

There are others, but I think that list is long enough already.

SHENMUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !

[QUOTE="muthsera666"][QUOTE="Ritard"]I would also buy a new Gauntlet game in an instant. So long as it wasn't like Seven Sorrows.UT_Wrestler

Divine Divinity ( fortunately, a sequel is coming our way :DD )

Jazz Jackrabbit ( haha, i'll never forget the fun i had playing this )

Getting Up ( rly need more graffiti games, a bit more fun fighting system please )

Abuse ( Crazy game, in all categories )

Legacy of Kain( Last sequel in 2003. ? We need a deserving ending )

Just one franchise:
Tribes...

R.I.P Tribes, you will be missed =(

Shenmue! we been waiting for years for shenmue 3. I need to know that Ryo get's out of that feckin cave!

Rocket Knight Adventures woulda been on my list if it weren't getting a brand new 2.5d instalment soon on XLA.

Streets of Rage could do with a comeback. though the classics will do me just fine.

Viewtiful Joe needs to be on 360... in fact, there's the title right there.

Dark Sector needs,if not,deserves a sequal.

All I can think of for now. lol.

And Wet... I want WET 2!!

seaman would be interesting, eternal darkness, onimusha but only if they do a complete reboot of the franchise, parasite eve would be nice, conker but it would probably suck lol, skies of arcadia, earthbound, max payne, im sure there a plenty of ohers id like to see reborn but i cant remember now

earthbound!!!!!!!!!

Tomba!

Hearts of Darkness

Jersey Devil

Duck Hunt (really needs a sequel lol)

Mighty Final Fight

Double Dragon

Oh and to whoever said the Oddworld games, they're on the american psn now.

probably pokemon, it needs to come out for xbox but depressingly never will because it's nintendo's and i hate when people are 'but they ARE coming out with sequels, they're called soul silver and heart gold' 'no' i reply 'they're the same DAMN thing except they just LOOK different and one has soul before it's name and the other one heart'

Shenmue I want to finish my game

camegacollector

A million times this. Don't set up a grand storyline and then not finish it. :( Shenmue III = instant buy. I need a resolution to the story!

Also (R.I.P. Troika) another Vampire: The Masquerade RPG. How I loved that game ...

Parasite Eve, and not that 3rd birthday crud for the PSP or whatever handheld it be coming out for. I want to see that on a Next gen system.

What ever happened to Gex the Gecko, Soul Reaver:Legacy of Kain, Busido Blade, and Brave Fencer Mushui (butchered it) but those games were fun back then and I have wondered why franchises like this go under when they have such room to grow. I know gex might have went under like crash and sonic did, but his last game was pretty fun on PS1? Its jus a lingering question.The_Endfamous_B

Jet set radiooooo.
