The Saboteur was a game that was ahead of its time.

A solid open world set in world war 2 with vehicles, beautiful graphics for its time (and physics), excellent story and thick characters. Stealth gameplay that makes MGS5 look like kindergarten. Man what a good game. Definitely one of the best games I have ever played.

When do you think we will get a The Saboteur 2? Would you be up for one?

Not to drive by post, but unless they turn into a GaaS fest, there's no chance. Games that did sell well, like Dead Space, have more of a chance and those aren't gonna happen. I'd love a sequel, but it's not gonna happen.

At this point I'll take BC on XBO. Or a remaster.

One of my fav games of last gen.

Well, EA killed Pandemic so... never probably. I think EA moved on from that series.

I was looking at Pandemic's Twitter yesterday, made me depressed. They were one of the greats, I'm truly crushed by their closure.

If there was ever a sequel, I'd just want more of what we got with tighter and more refined mechanics so it plays just a bit better. It didn't feel as fluid as I would've liked but I loved that game a lot. BACK COMPAT VERSION WHEN?

Don't make me cry now. One of the many great devs destroyed by EA

Even if it ever happens EA will ensure it isn't what fans of the first one want, so it's better off dead

Never and I certainly wouldn't want it from or trust EA in 2018 to do it the justice it deserves. I know this is a totally different time period but a lot of what Saboteur did right, Watch Dogs 2 improved on. I just hope Watch Dogs 3 goes full non-lethal because it's truly at its best when it's being played with stealth in mind.

?

It was a okay take on Hitman's stealth, with extremely basic AI and simple stealth mechanics

Yeah, I actually was stealthy despite the game design's insistence on me to kill people in firefights. It was a pain on the butt to be stealthy most of the time. In MGSV, it's a breeze and incredibly enjoyable.

I hope that we get another game, that actually has the courage to go full B&W. The game looked best like that. But we're never getting another game. I remember thinking EA send it to death in a December, I believe.

If I hadn't lost my save file, I would've played it to the end. A sequel would be super great. A remaster would be even better.

Since the game prety much led to Pandemic beeing shut down, I would say "never"

Someone will need to have the balls to descend deep into EA´s catacombs and extract the IP from Pandemic´s grave.

Remember this is when online passes existed. If you bought the game new you got to see titties, if you bought it used and didn't have the code they had a black bar across them or you could pay for the online pass to see nipples.

No, you can thank Pandemic for that. Pandemic failed because of their own problems with shifting to the PS3/360 era between technology, team growth & ambition. EA just helped fund them & push them along as they failed from their own hubris.

Yeah guess I shoud thank them for being purchased by EA and being closed down also by them not too long after.

Wow, and I thought it was a pipe dream hoping for Skies of Arcadia 2. But that'll come long before this will by merit of the developer being shutted and EA being EA. Sega at least is the kind of publisher that plausibly could eventually go "HEY, HOW ABOUT WE DO THIS SUDDENLY!" while EA would go "oh, we released those games? Weird" to an entire generation.

One of the most underrated and overlooked sandbox games ever, it was like Mercenaries but set in WW2. EA are too busy gobbling up suckers spending money on how their virtual character looks with loot boxes than to go back and make good games again.

I'm given to understand it didn't exactly make the big bucks. I wouldn't hold my breath.

No great loss. It was just a thoroughly unremarkable GTA me-too with a bad habit of making you drive all the way across the map multiple times in the same mission.

I heard Valve will get right on it right after they wrap up Half Life 3.

Pitch to EA a sequel where:

It's Open world full of people!
People can do missions together.
Mirco Transactions for better clothing
Mico Transactions for better weapons
Mico Transactions for better vehicles to get around in.
Mico Transactions for nudity in every visit when you go to the strip clubs.

Was such a fun game, and this thread reminds me to give the game another play through. Sadly getting a sequel for it probably isn't in the cards. :(

I replayed it last year and it is still one of the most fun open world games for all its lapses into cheese and jank.

I would love a sequel but if it's just Ghost Recon Wildlands then no. Just no.

It was a bad year for WWII games. The Saboteur, Wolfenstein, and Velvet Assassin all tanked in the same year.

Paid DLCs to unlock visible nipples by strippers...EA, back in the day.


The game was average at best, with art direction and Paris saving an otherwise mediocre game.

I loved this game so much, 100% it on 360 and PS3, sadly we'll never get a sequel. While the game wasn't perfect there was something about it. A few years ago concept of a scrapped base surfaced and man, i wish it would've ended up in the game, would've been wacky enough to work.
