Name any really good game

[Kraxis]

Life is good sometimes isn't it

I doubt our favourite femme fatale will be in it, but the term 'spiritual succesor of system shock 2' has me dripping with anticipation. Little Fragony's need lots of meat. It is made by the same people, with these graphics I am not sure if I will ever recover. If there is any game that I would love to get my hands on, this one would be it.

Serious? But she got away...

[doc_bean]

Colonization ?

Pirates! has had a remake but not a real sequel.

[Fragony]

Serious? But she got away...

It would be repeating the biggest shock in videogame history ever if she joined the fray, it could be nowhere as dramatic as that particular scene where she shows up in part deux. Maybe some references to catidel station and the von Braun and what happened there, but I think a new story would be better. Since they call it a spiritual succesor I think that is what they are doing. Maybe for the better, that insane metal voice still haunts me

[Just A Girl]

spy vs spy had a sequel?
Mumble's profanity about notbeing told anything.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

A game that is class? Get the Warriors, now that is a game

[GoreBag]

Base Wars!

[Kraxis]

Colonization ?

Ohhh... How I would love a sequel to that one, or just a remake. I was one of the most perfect and simple economic models ever.
Simplicity and basic stuff... It worked perfectly there, and who can forget the good tribal music?

Frag, she got away... she became human remember. "honey, what is wrong with your hair?" Arrogant and quite selfpromoting voice "Oh nothing dear."

Total Annihilation, possibly the greatest RTS game ever, never got a proper sequel, there was TA: Kingdoms but that' like Annihilation to Warcraft (except the other way around).

[Sjakihata]

Oh man, I forgot about Total Annihalition untill now. Yes, that's a good game, and was really ahead of its time when it was released.



doesnt this bring back memories?

[Mithrandir]

Severance Blade of Darkness.

Nuff said.

I got so nostalgic I installed it again. It's clear that it's dated, but it's still pretty fun

[Just A Girl]

I think i still have total anialation around here some where ( I was given it for free when i signed up to compuserve 56K Server a number of Years ago)

I dont think i ever realy played it,
I already had aoe.

And some other game i really liked...
I dont think i remember its name.

7 kingdoms ancient advisarys ?

that was a good game.
As well as the usual RTS game,
You had to build things next to the gray peopls buildings. then theyd see you were protecting them and become people you controlled.

I dont know if it had a sequel.
And maby ive got the name wrong any way.

[GoreBag]

Aw, no one played Base Wars?! I'll have to elaborate myself.

I can't remember if you're a baseball mang or not, Zorba, but it's a baseball game. Only picture this: all the times are entirely composed of androids. Beyond the normal, bipedal robot, there's a robot with different lower torsos - a unicycle wheel (think one-wheeled motorbike), tank treads, and a hoverbot. The game is played as normal, except when a runner arrives at a base where he would otherwise be tagged. Instead of being called out, the two robots fight it out. If the runner wins, he's safe and can keep running. If he loses, he's out.

The game supports several pre-made teams, two custom ones, two-player multiplayer and a season mode where you can trade for, upgrade and purchase new gear (extendo-fists, laser guns, techno-swords...) for your team.

Aaand it's on the NES.

Historyline 1914-1918 by BlueByte. Though technically that was kind of an evolution of the Battle Isle series. I was hoping they would make a "Historyline" series out of that, but it never happened.

There's debate over the quality of Evil Genius, but I thought it was an entertaining game and it won't be getting a sequel.

Temple of Elemental Evil is also debatable. Easily the truest D&D conversion ever made for the PC, though so horribly bugged that it nearly impossible to finish. As with Bloodlines, it won't be getting a sequel since Troika went belly up.

[doc_bean]

I dont think i ever realy played it,
I already had aoe.

That's like declining a Porsche because you already have a Lada

[Ciaran]

Strike Commander, it never got a sequel. Dito Operation Flashpoint, as far as I know. Both got expansion packs, but no sequels.

[econ21]

Dito Operation Flashpoint, as far as I know.

The sequel is coming, I believe.

[econ21]

Temple of Elemental Evil is also debatable. Easily the truest D&D conversion ever made for the PC...

But so horribly boring, I found. It reminded me that what made D&D pen and paper fun was interacting with your friends. Hacking and slashing alone becomes just mind-numbing. The best D&D type games - BG2, KOTOR, PST etc- take the rules set to get solid game mechanics but focus on quests, characterisation, story and atmosphere to make them come alive.

I am still amazed that Troika could produce a game with rock solid mechanics but no character (ToEE) and games that oozed character but had dodgy mechanics (Arcanum). With Vampires, they finally got the porridge just right and were rewarded by Goldilocks, the dumb consumer, breaking their company.

Though largely the fault of their production companies, Vampire and ToEE were both so horribly bug-ridden that it's not surprising they went under. I guess I have a fondness for 2D top down view D&D RPGs. I wish everything could be the Baldur's Gate games. Easily the most entertaining gaming experience I've ever had was playing BG right through from the first through the second with both expansions. Few games capture such an epic storyline.

Eternal Darkness : Sanity's Requiem. There was rumors about a sequel called Eternal Darkness : Sanity's Redeption, mainly because a hidden cutscene was a real preview. Yet, and unhappilly, nothing showed up lately. Dunno what happened to Silicon Knights, but it's impossible to send them any mail.

Another already mentioned game is Total Annihilation. There was a Total Annihilation Kingdom, but it was not that great. There also a Something Commanders, made by the guy who made TA, and that kinda looks like TA.

that would have been me.

I know, i don't really consider it a sequel, more as a Warcraft/Starcraft thing.

There also a Something Commanders, made by the guy who made TA, and that kinda looks like TA.

Supreme Commander, but it isn't a true sequel is it

And while I'm in this thread:

Duke Nukem 3d

[Meneldil]

that would have been me.

Well, yeah, I meant 'another game mentioned previously'

Supreme Commander, but it isn't a true sequel is it

Not really, but according to the few interviews and info I read, it will look like TA, sound like TA, feel like TA and taste like TA, simply with more units and huge warmachines.
I think the guy didn't call it TA II simply because the name was copyrighted.

That might be true, but this a thread about things like that anyway. How many good games don't get ripped of by another game in one way or another ?

EDIT: was Starcraft already mentioned in this thread ?

[AntiochusIII]

Flawed, but awesome while it lasted, not to mention all the British humor which left me laughing my eyes off.

Giant: Citizen Kabuto.

[Cronos Impera]

Myht The Fallen Lords, Myth 2, Myth 3 and Aquanox2.

Eternal Darkness : Sanity's Requiem. There was rumors about a sequel called Eternal Darkness : Sanity's Redeption, mainly because a hidden cutscene was a real preview. Yet, and unhappilly, nothing showed up lately. Dunno what happened to Silicon Knights, but it's impossible to send them any mail.

They worked on Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes and have since broke exclusivity with Nintendo and are working on 'Too Human' for the XB.

[Meneldil]

Darn, I want my ED II ! This game is the best I ever played. I sent a mail asking their site's webmaster if it was still in the planning. I'll probably not get an answer, but heh.
They can release it on PS3, XB360 or whatever, I'll buy the console just to play the game.

Edit : BTW, have you seen the ED movies, featured on this site ?

[Xiahou]

ED was without a doubt the best horror genre game I played on a console. RE4 came close- but I'd still give ED the nod.

I believe it is still planned for release, at least I hope it is. Great game indeed, just so .... evil. A it low on challenge later on but that didn't stop me from having to dread each new area I had to beat just because of these horrible sounds.

btw, you may like the Silent Hill series if you liked Eternal Darkness. Not quite in the same lague, but it is entertaining and deliciously sick.
