There's plenty kinds of sequels.. direct sequels, indirect sequels, prequels, planned trilogies (god forbid) and so on. I for one would like to see more, alternative ending sequels.

And by that I mean a direct sequel that picks up around where the last one left off, though as if the last game ended differently. As if someone went back in time and changed the outcome of history. The sequel where the hero from the last game failed. I think that would be pretty sweet. Like if you spentthe wholefirst game preventing the end of the world, it would be interesting to see in the sequelhow the world, and the characters you got to know turn out if the past hero had failed.

Stuff like that. I think would be a fresh take for a sequel filled industry.

Interesting idea, but don't you think people would get confused or angry that they spent 8-28 hours saving the world just to find out it was destroyed? That's like playing Assassins Creed or Halo and finding out in their sequels Desmond dies and Master Chief is captured and killed. Defeats the purpose of even making a sequel does it not?

Valkyrie Profile Silmeria does something similar to that. You should check out that series.
