Five sequels

  • Rewriting old player movement code

    In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Working on a small game to showcase the Devlog

    Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test 2

    Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • A long, long time ago, I was a pixel artist

    So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • A time for change

    Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

  • Some of my olddddd work

    Here is some of my old work.. the first pic is of a 3d model of a human head I was working on about 2 years ago in 3dsmax, using nurbs. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't model a head with…

I saw an intriguing question posted elsewhere, but I'm curious. If you had a bajillion dollars, what 5 game sequels would you develop?

For me, it would be:

Clive Bakers Undying - such a well made game that genuinely scared the holy crap out of me at points.
Bruce Lee - the Commodore 64 classic. It would be an awesome co-op platformer game.
Exploding Fist - I'd go the Street Fighter II route with it or a Double Dragon / Final Fight beat-em up in 3D.
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory - I think there's a Wolfenstein sequel underway anyway, but an update of the multiplayer game would be awesome. I'd like it in the Call of Duty vein though, rather than the aircrafts/vehicles/larger areas/displacables/shoot at dots that Quake Wars was. Just nitty gritty close quartered team orientated combat on memorable maps like Fuel Dump etc.

and finally, Elite: Frontier - David Braben has been taking his sweet ass time with a sequel, and technology has had a massive leap since Elite: Frontier was released over a decade and a half ago. I don't wanna play an MMO like Eve :[

Duke Nukem 3D came out in 1996, which was roughly when I got my first PC (I held onto my Amiga 500 and 1200 for way too long!), and I mainly used it for college. It was pretty underpowered for 3D games, so I missed most of PC gaming until about 98 and 99 when Starcraft and Counterstrike came about. So yeh, I bypassed all the Duke Nukem hooplah. I've still never played it so I don't even know what made it so popular.

yay i remember that from back in the days of 'shareware' catalogs and things like that. Craziness !

But haven't we kind of already got a spritual progeny of that in Tomb Raider ? Well, i suppose not quite ...

Sadly most things I know already have a sequel. If I had a bajillion dollars I'd start a company and make my own IP, why bother with a sequel when it's going to come out one day anyway.

For reference: I miss Busby and Donkey Kong who hasn't had a "real" sequel since DK64.

I'd like to see:

Paradroid - robots are just awesome fun, would love to see the robots in full, rather than just the number designation shown on the C64 (as a kid it was easy enough to imagine them all, though)

R-Type - I'd like a combat flight sim game, with all of the power-ups and landscapes included.

Turrican - in the style of GoW, mebbe.

Wizball - this was such an original game, I don't know how I'd like to see this done... maybe just update it with lovely 3D.

Operation Wolf/Thunderbolt - Lost many coins to this beastie as a kid, lotsa fast paced machine action with no letting-up.

Cheers,
Jarrod
