[Half Life 3 (HL3) doesn't count as we already know that game is still a long way off from coming out. Like another 5 or more years.]

Portal
F-Zero
Portal, please
Honestly every valve IP
Maybe not tf3 though, perhaps instead if it was a complete rewrite of tf2 and engine port that fixed all the jank
Hi-fi rush. Fuco Micro$oft
I genuinely had heard plenty of praise that I checked it out more and really liked what I saw in gameplay. I was going to wait till it went on 25% off then pick it up. Then Xbox Game Studios had the brain dead idea to shut down the whole studio that made one of the best new IPs in recent years. After hearing about this, I decided right there that I wasn't going to buy it ever.
That's why "Fuck Micro$oft". I bought it but didn't see the news until a few weeks when I was checking about the game and if they were planning a sequel or what. It's a great game IMO but the studio got shut down because Micro$oft fucking sucks
Timesplitters. Can't believe that series got left to rot
The first time splitters was one of my favorite games ever. I don't remember why, but the second one I didn't like nearly as much.
I wanted to see KOTOR 3 for years, but after seeing the writing in TOR and knowing Disney has bought the IP, I don't expect it, and I wouldn't be super excited if they actually make it.
SWTOR is as close as we are ever gonna get. Even if it's not quite the same thing. At least the base game story wise is solid and free!
Just turn the chat off and pretend everyone running around is a NPC. 😂
Deus Ex
If you want Half Life 3, go play the Entropy Zero mods. It's fanon, but they actually respect the franchise. Think of it as HL2's own Opposing Forces. The first one is good, but the second is better in every regard.
What I'm looking forward to the most right now is whatever the next installment of Entropy Zero will be. There's some spinoff stuff and a proper sequel in the works.
I'm also interested in Project Borealis, but that's untested for the moment.
Elder scrolls. It's been how long since the announcement of a coastline?
If it's not out within the next 4 years, it will officially be the case that more time has passed between Elder Scrolls 5 and 6 than Elder Scrolls 1 through 5.
17 years versus between Arena and Skyrim compared to 13 years so far since 2011 (and counting, almost up to 14 years if counting from calendar year alone).
When Skyrim came out, Bethesda promised free new Bethesda games for life to parents of kids born on 11/11/11 who named their child Dovahkiin. Young Dovahkiin is almost in high school now, and of the promised free games, their parents have earned a whopping:
Hope it was worth it.
That announcement and the "development progress" follow up was fake to placate people getting angry over Failout 76. If they even started to working on it, it was 2023 the soonest.
Pretty sure they said they weren't going to working it till after Starfield. So it is still in early dev right now.
Titanfall 3. I’m doubtful it’ll happen as long as Apex Legends and/or the Cal Kestis Jedi series is profitable, and if it does come it’ll be riddled with microtransactions in the multiplayer but honestly if we get some new evolution in the waltz between titans and pilots I’d still dig into the multiplayer for at least a few hundred hours. With the new server-side tech I imagine if they tuned the graphics to a more cartoonish style, they could 100% create a Titanfall-Battlefield crossover game with massive maps and plenty of environmental destruction that would be unbelievably fun and intense. Not to mention TF2’s campaign is in need of a follow-up.
In the same vein I’d love to see a direct sequel to Red Faction Guerilla. I’m not sure what caused it but it seems like AAA studios have shied away from destructible environments in a stupidly disappointing way. Rainbow 6: Siege is the only modern game with a seeming dedication to unscripted destruction; even Battlefield 2042 notably lacks it. RFG had some unbelievably fun mechanics when it came to the mixture of open world and destruction. Not to mention the themes in that game’s story would resonate well with most people nowadays.
I'm not exactly expecting a sequel, but something in the Freelancer universe. Best spaceflight-ship-action combat game ever made, but never got the love it deserves... Even the story was good and entertaining.
Today all X3 spaceflight-ship are either a pain in the ass where you have to be an engineer to even get started, or need to grind 1000 hours to even begin to have "fun". I miss freelancer's simplicity and space fights...
Loved Freelancer! Did you try the Everspace games? They're the closest to a spiritual successor that I've played.
I guess death stranding
At least that one is confirmed
Deus Ex. There was supposed to be a third and then Eidos sold out to make the Avengers game that flopped.
Mario RPG. No the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series (while fine games themselves) do not count.
I've been diving into Fallout lately. Love the world building. Definitely wouldn't mind a 5th installment. May wait a few years after they release it for them to fix the worst of the bugs before playing it though. Bethesda may make great games, but damn they a buggy mess.
Have you tried fallout London?
I would love a new Mother game to be honest...
or another Super Lucky's Tale, with a bit more challange. That game was a real surprise, how nice of a platformer it is, also really really great music.
I’ve been saying a new mother game or at least remake in the same art style of the studio that did echoes of wisdom and links awakening would be phenomenal
Well, to be frank, I don't really like that style. But wouldn't matter; new Mother!
Been watching and waiting for Hollow Knight 2 for entirely too long, but I'd rather have a polished but delayed game then a crap rushed one.
No One Lives Forever
But as the games are in rights hell this will never happen.
A proper new Thief would also be nice. By someone who actually wants to make it maybe this time.
It's been so long since I've played these. I need to replay them.
Still waiting for a sequel to Republic Commando.
That and empire at war
Hollow Knight
I know Team Cherry is working on it, but I'm still pumped for when they're ready to release it.
Jak & Daxter. I'd even take a reboot. Precursor Legacy is damn near perfect but 2 and 3 could benefit from QoL improvements for sure
The Pokémon main line games. I really hope to see they'll improve and maybe even reach a somewhat okay level of quality. But let's be honest, they'll probably fuck up big time with the next generation as well
The things I care about have been getting stripped away every game, and they're selling more copies than ever. I suspect the next mainline game will be the first time since the Gold/Silver remakes that I actively choose to not buy a mainline Pokemon game.
Legends, on the other hand...
Lemmings
We’re about due for another game from my favorite series : Tomb Raider
Endless Ocean: Blue World. I got Endless Ocean: Luminous for Christmas and it is so half-assed and soulless that playing it actually raises my stress level instead of reducing it. My disappointment is truly immeasurable. It turns into anger because there are decisions that are just so objectively bad that they clearly knew were bad but just didn't care.
Smugglers Run - Good premise. I think it could be great with the right modern touches.
Tenchu: Stealth Assassins - I know Sekiro started that way but I'd like a legit sequel with legit developed mechanics/story from the originals.
MTV Music Generator/Music 2000 - I think the multiplayer Jam Mode was ahead of its time, and someone should revisit that aspect in a modern mindset.
Elder Scrolls 6, but after Starfield shown Bethesda is willing to sabotage the best thing about their games (modding) for no reason i'm not hyped at all.
X-Com 3, but i'm extremely pessimistic after the awful Chimera Squad, completely missed Midnight Suns and the generally weird direction entire genre seems to take lately with abandoning strategic layer in favour of boring sneaky real time exploration.
I would love Battletech 2 and Battlefleet Gothic 3 but there is zero hope after both of those series got dropped harder than 1000 ton steel ball in the ocean.
Sonic Frontiers 2 or another Sonic game with the Frontiers formula.
The first game was really good and promising. Technical problems aside, the experiment the Sonic Team did (the open zones) worked great and was the best part of the game. After the success of Shadow Generations, which also implemented the Frontiers formula on an smaller scale, I'm pretty sure the next big game would be way past Amazing.
I thought Shadow Generations was just a rerelease or remaster of Sonic Generations but with Shadow content added.
Have I been mistaken and missing out on new Sonic?
It is both! A rerelease and a new game put together. The Shadow part wasn't just "new content", it was a whole independent story with new game mechanics and such. It was weird but it worked out pretty well.
I have the idea that it was a way for the Sonic Team to test again the Frontiers formula without remaking all Frontiers the ground up. They were like: "Does the people really REALLY liked this formula?", and after the success they'll be like"Yep, they like it. Let's go for it".
Before the release of DA veilguard, my answer would be Mass Effect 4. Now I'm not so sure.
Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West sequel. Love the entire series and while christmas this year came early with both a Zero Dawn Remaster and a LEGO Horizon Adventures release (and I'm also really into LEGO so yay!) I can't wait to see how the story continues after the developments in part two.
Sonic Adventure
Say what you want about how much of a buggy mess that game was, it taught me to enjoy buggy messes of games to a certain degree and also to love challenge to a degree (because of said bugs).
Mass Effect. Not sure how I will feel without the old crew tho.
Ive been following Exodus here and there. Its being made by many of the original Bioware people.
Oh by crew I meant Shepard's crew, I grew attached those characters from the original trilogy. I'm not up to date but I haven't seen any hints of characters coming back except for Liara, not sure if it even makes sense to bring them back.
BioShock
Looking forward to Judas at least…
Pikmin 5
Bushido Blade.
All fighting games are boring in comparison to the first of this franchise. Could literally remaster the first one and change nothing but the graphics and it would be a hit.
I've been saying this for YEARS.
I had high hopes for Hellish Quart; But it just didn't quite get there for me. It's been a long time since I played it. Not sure if they've added more polish since then...
Legacy of Kain
I personally think blood omen was a way better game then all those 3d sequels. I would welcome a game in that style, kinda cool story and lots of secrets to be found.
Just started playing the remaster last night!
Dark Messiah: First person action RPG where you kick Orcs into spikes a lot. Add some more gimmicks, more verticality and enemy variety, basically done.
C&C Generals: Sequel was planned but canceled. The original still has a following, AoE2 had multiple profitable remasters. The genre might be more niche but it isn't dead.
Bulletstorm: Stupid fun FPS with a ridiculous story, not quite a "boomer shooter" but a sequel could definitely profit from that current trend.
Also Slay the Spire and Cyberpunk 2077, but those are actually happening.
Generals!!!
Katana Zero
You do know a free expansions DLC has been in the works this whole time, and still is?
yeah, I know it
Giants: Citizen Kabuto.
Black & White (with VR support).
Shattered Galaxy.
Crystalis.
Chorus
Batman Arkham
Quantum Break. Its ending most certainly was teasing a sequel. Unfortunately, Microsoft was never willing to sell the rights to the IP to Remedy.
I'm excited to see the new jet set radio and crazy taxi.
Not because I'm at all interested in playing them but because I want to see the absolute shitshow they will both assuredly release as.
Hi-Fi Rush.
I was so distraught when the studio was closed despite selling extremely well and working on a sequel. I am beyond excited now that the studio has been picked up by Zenimax Krafton. There's no confirmation, but you don't go from planning a sequel to a breakout hit, to being closed down, to being picked up by another parent company just to scrap said sequel.
EDIT: Fixed the company buy-up. Forgot the order of things.
Probably Freelancer it's going to sound weird because supposedly the Elite/X games are better, but I've honestly never enjoyed them as much as I liked Freelancer.
Basically flying about in a ship, doing missions and upgrading weapons etc until you can buy a better ship, online was fun as well.
So yeah Id like them to reboot it.
Yep Freelancer was awsome ! Online fights were epic !
Going in the Nomads sector to drop their weapon or looking for a hidden ship wreck in a meteor cloud or just chilling in the empty/cold space and blasting pirates you encounter.
The single player story was very enjoyable and was not that bad for the time. Makes me sad it's in the hands of Microsoft's cold case :(.
Damn I miss this game !
NMS was what I hoped would be the freelancer part 2 but it's just an exploring game. While fun on its own, completely lacks any real danger and that just kills it for me.
Not true sequels, but Alabaster Dawn from the Crosscode Devs, and Psycho Patrol R from the Cruelty Squad Dev! Both are some of my favorite games, so I can't wait to see the "successor" games come out!
Days Gone 2 (not gonna happen though).
My favorite game, I wish so as well! But yeah, not gonna happen, Bend studios is dismantled and it's members moved on
Little Big Adventure 3.
Once I thought it was just as far away as Half Life 3, but after 27 years of inactivity they started making a remake of LBA 1. Perhaps it will lead to a remake of LBA 2 and the eventually LBA 3.
It's long dead thanks to kinect, but another Sonic Riders game would be amazing.
Absolutely loved Zero Gravity and never played the others (because I didn't know they were part of a series), but I would absolutely love even just a combination of the air fuel like mechanic of the original combined with the gravity meteor ring things. No clue what the kinect version would bring since I've never heard that good of things about it besides the main theme being great, so maybe exclude elements from that title.
Bloody Roar. The rights are held by Konami, so there's practically no chance of it happening.
Okami just had its sequel teased after about 15 20 years. I’m excited to see what they do with it.
edit: 2006 was not 20 years ago! :(
Okami released in 2006, PS2 game originally.
Baldur's Gate 4, but that's unlikely to happen at this point.
Sundered. I would love to see the equivalent of Rogue Legacy 2 for that game, where the sequel completely supplants the original while expanding upon the storytelling and lore.
Racing destruction set with VR support
Funny one: Psi-Ops
Holy shit. I thought I was the only one who played it
The game ending on a cliffhanger was so disappointing.
I was waiting for stalker 2. Super psyched to play it this weekend. The first 3 are some of my all time favourite games.
I’m about finished with my first play through and it’s definitely got the soul of the originals.
