I would love to see a game where you play a parasite and you have to infect a human. Some real crazy dungeon crawling level upness to go from a swimmimg nematode to a full-blown worm that buries itself in the intestines. Now that would be a fun....and educational game!
...the star of a sure-fire hit!!!!
And some people wonder why all they see are sequels.
Man guys, lets try demanding something NEW every once in a while.

I'm one of them. I'm sick & tired of sequels and famous titles (not sequel but a known title like Star Wars, Final Fantasy, etc).
While I do understand your sentiments (many series already seem to be suffering from sequel-itis in my eyes), there are some older games that I believe could be improved further in a sequel after all these years, as well as getting more recognition since the original games were rather unknown. For instance, Rocket Jockey-an old 1996 PC game based around rocket bikes with grappling cables. Twelve years since, I have yet to see anything else like it. I think that game could use some improved AI, Euphoria animation for the jockeys, editors for making custom arenas and bikes, and some online multiplayer that doesn't require a load of extra apps running in the background, and a sequel could accomplish all of that nicely. There's also Magic Carpet, another old PC game released in 1994 that still remains fairly original gameplay-wise. You're a wizard on a magic carpet who has to build up a castle and basically possess as much mana in the vicinity as you can, usually competing with other wizards. It also had real-time terrain deformation in 1994, and now we have new games like Fracture touting it as something new. This one did receive a sequel the year after in the form of Magic Carpet 2: The Netherworlds (my fourth greatest game of all time), which added some varied multiplayer objectives to the singleplayer levels, cave levels, many more spells, and perhaps a multiplayer mode. However, I never got the multiplayer working properly-it being a DOS game probably has something to do with it. Thirteen years after MC2, I still have yet to see anything quite like it, and perhaps now is the time for a sequel that could improve in just about every regard. As for ridiculously well-known series with as many as ten or more similar games in it, though, they need to give it a break already.And some people wonder why all they see are sequels.

I think the implicit purpose of this thread was to talk about sequels, not new IPs, since the original post only listed sequels.
I agree that new IPs are good, but some games/series (like Elder Scrolls and Metroid Prime) are pretty much unique since nobody else took the hint and applied the same concepts to new games. Thus, these kind of games need sequels because there's no alternative to them.

I would like to see GI Joe the video game with all the characters and vehicles form the late 80's early 90's you know the GI joe glory days :) That would be amazing online multiplayer.
But most of all I want a new BMX game just like ea Skate, you know with an emphasis on the tricks and not button mashing for points.
I would like a good mafia/mobster game that is in first person perspective. Set in the 1930's. But hey, thats just me. :)SavageM2You mean a game where you play a cop? That would be awesome. Id like to see a police force game where you go to work as a cop, solve crimes, drive around, catch baddies. Just think of how good a cop game could be.
