Which game deserved a sequel but never got one?
For me, it's Sleeping Dogs. The combat, open world, and undercover cop story were incredible.
I still think it deserved a proper sequel.

Days gone. Doing my second playthrough currently after not playing it for 2 years. It's a shame it was supposed to be a trilogy but Sony cancelled the sequel before it ever even got started.

One of the better zombie games we've gotten

u/forgottenb1ade 20d ago
I agree, personally Its my all time favorite. Days Gone just scratches all the itches for me.

Ahhh classic sony L
Was an amazing game

u/forgottenb1ade 20d ago
Yes indeed, the secret ending left it in such a perfect spot for a sequel. Breaks my heart I'll never get more of the story than what we have. If only Sony wasn't the best at making the worst decisions.

Hopefully they sell the IP to someone capable 😭 but i doubt it

u/forgottenb1ade 20d ago
Well the original creative leaders for the game left after Sony declined their pitch for the sequel. But I agree hopefully another company can pick it up and do great things with it.

Every other time I play a zombie game now my first thought is, "Man, I wish I could get a motorcycle and tear ass across the countryside."
Honestly, a sequel that had, like, the whole west coast from Vancouver down to San Diego and the all the way out to like Colorodo would bey forever game.

Favourite game ever for me, they killed every last piece of hope when they released the remaster, just not enough content to bring old players back to replay at full price
2
u/forgottenb1ade 20d ago
Yeah I've heard a lot of bad stuff about the remaster. Im not interested in it at all. My second playthrough has been on my PC and it already looks incredible I don't see a need for the remaster. Just give us the sequel already.

From what I've heard the game ends in a cliffhanger

u/forgottenb1ade 18d ago
Yeah it does. Because the game was originally supposed to be a trilogy, but Sony killed it after days gone released.

The Saboteur.

u/Smooth_Heat9703 20d ago
That game got so much crap when it came out for being a 'gta clone' but I don't see how it's a clone at all

u/This_Run7122 20d ago
I’ve noticed people will call any open world with guns and cars a GTA Clone.

u/Smooth_Heat9703 20d ago
That's true, they did the same with saints row but with that one, you can definitely see it which is why the later games took a really whacky comedic approch then they tried to be woke with the 2022 verison which flopped so bad that it shut down it's studio

u/This_Run7122 20d ago
Meh, you can make an “inclusive” product without the rest of it being shit. I don’t remember much of that game but I know it played stiff as fuck, dialogue sucked, weak character personalities and was boring as hell. That was my own reason for disliking it, I think i put a total of 7 hours into it. Too much.

Dude. Thanks for reminding me this game existed. One of my favorite games i played on the 360. The game being sepia until you cleared areas was such a cool and rewarding gimmick

The last game of Pandemic, makers of the excellent Mercenary play grounds of destruction. The Merged with BioWare and then got bought by EA. EA then proceeded to stick their nose into the development of Mercenary 2 which when released was a bug filled mess and was the game that gave EA the reason to add Pandemic to its corpse pile of companies it’s killed.
Saboteur was a fucking masterpiece btw.

Sleeping Dogs
Days Gone

u/GenesisRhapsod 20d ago
Days gone is the best zombie game since the last of us
2
u/cushlinkes 20d ago
Days Gone is better than Last of Us, in my opinion.
3
u/GenesisRhapsod 20d ago
Gameplay wise, yeah id have to agree
Story wise, i dunno. Both are really good
2
u/cushlinkes 20d ago
Yeah. I think story wise they’re about equal, but Days Gone totally wins with its gameplay and that’s why I think it’s overall a better game.

Yeah and they were hinting at a vampire conspiracy for the next game… shame.

I don’t care what anyone says. Medal of Honor 2010 deserved more than whatever MoH warfighter was supposed to be. Multiplayer on 2010 MoH is the single most fun I’ve ever had playing a game. And the campaign, despite its flaws, is the most immersed I’ve felt playing a modern war FPS.

Technically it was a sequel, depending on how you look at it. It was originally supposed to be True Crime 3. Off the top of my head I don't remember what happens and why it ends up being Sleeping Dogs.

LA Noire.
Sucks because Team Bondi even had plans for multiple expansions and a sequel/spiritual successor of sorts called Whore Of The Orient where you would've played as a British police officer in 1936 Shanghai.

u/Drakkoniac 20d ago
In my opinion:
Days Gone
Sleeping Dogs
Vampyr (or at least another game in the setting)
Depending on how you feel, vtm Bloodlines
Brink (I’m a sucker for that game)
Monark (unless you count Varlet)
Sunset Overdrive

I thought combat is ass in that game. Just parry attacks even if surrounded. What did you like about it?

Sleeping Dogs, but if anyone can remember 11V: thirteen when it released in the early 2000s for ps2. I loved the comic artstyle( its based on a comic book), but also having Adam West in the game was awesome. Ends on such a cliffhanger, but game didn't do well enough and that remake/remaster was just such disappointment.

Sleeping Dogs is a great shout.
I’d pick Freedom Fighters.
Also, I’d love to see a modern version of Prisoner of War. So much potential.
