New Games in the HD era that had the potential to turn into franchises, but stopped after one release
- Thread starter The Praiseworthy
- Start date
The entire OP is filled with games Sony considers a disappointment sales wise, it's no wonder that they didn't sequelize any of them.
LEGO City Undercover. I want a sequel so bad. Best LEGO game me and the kids have played through it like 4 times.
I think it started development that way and then they decided the Monster Kingdom IP was not worth anything and made Folklore its own thing. Lmao. :(
This one will never stop hurting.
Best Japanese third person shooter. Love the world, the characters, the stages, the damage system, and the boss fights. Too bad people just want more same old Yakuza every year instead. :/
I'd settle for the first game being BC on the Xbox One and fixing the screen tearing (which was pretty bad in places). Its one of my favourite Capcom games of last gen (I notice Remember Me was mentioned as well, another under rated game)
Also agreed on this one. Its a game I got really heavily into when doing higher difficulty and achievement runs. Its not perfect, but I really enjoyed it when I got into it.
Some SWERY love here...
Deadly Premonition could have worked really well as an anthology series, though it at least ends on a solid note. Unlike...
Mark my words, this is the next Shenmue 3, at least in terms of cult fandom demand. At least I hope it is. Sadly it stands basically no chance of being finished and honestly it's the biggest reason I'm salty at Microsoft to this day, though Access Games seems to have had a hand in it too.

Nothing comes to mind from the HD era but the SD one ? I would go with Chaos Legion: gothic visuals, crazy metal soundtrack, summons and Squall as the main character :D I was always surprised this never got a sequel.
I played the demo a long time ago and I remember the gameplay being quite repetitive already. It did look great though.

Great choice but D4 is nowhere near Shenmue in terms of cult fandom demand.
Yep. Easily one of my favourite games from the PS360 era and it's criminal that we still haven't got a sequel.
Yeah... I just wish it was. It's probably the most polished SWERY game out there and it's so charming.
We'd have two kidneys on the market between us, my friend.
Not sure if it counts since it's not an original IP, but Shadowrun 2007. A sequel to this without the baggage of the original, more content, and maybe even a campaign could have been awesome.
Asura's Wrath. I'd love to see a follow up but obviously with more gameplay. If it followed a GoW template, it would be huge.
Lollipop Chainsaw. I figured we would have had a sequel at this point.

Seeing so many of my favorite games from last gen in here stings a bit. Many of these games definitely deserved to sell better than they did
Technically a franchise, it had a mobile style game for that one discontinued service for Vita.
One of my favorite PS3 games,dlc was great too.
Ninja Theory does a sequel I'll have to buy an Xbox next gen,lol.(They won't).
Yeah OP, The Order is the thing I thought of just reading the thread title.
Shit. 1080@60 cell shaded Tokyo jungle would be the very stuff dreams are made of.

Another vote for Binary Domain, supremely satisfying TPS action. The way your gunfire chips the enemies to pieces is sublime.
Not at all.
It was an original game, then Activision realized they had this unused True Crime licensed lying around so they thought they'd make use of that, blow up the scale of the game and compete with GTA. Then when they realized that wasn't working they canned the game. Then SE picked it up and released it as an original IP. The game only briefly had anything to do with True Crime.
Anyway it's def this because it's a crime that Sleeping Dogs never got a sequel. Also Binary Domain was pretty neato. Sequel why not?
