Im sorry but i have heard this over and over again that no one is making new games just sequals. All sequels are not giving the gamer something new or interesting and gaming is going to Hell because of them.
Well im tired of it and that and thats next true. As i recall the BIGGEST most Innovative games were all sequels. These games set the standard for ALL "new" titles and other sequals. without sequels the gaming industry would suck.
Mario 64. Still to this day the one and only platformer all great platformers are based on. With out this SEQUEL games like jak and daxter, Ratchet and clank, Banjo, donkey kong, Would NEVER have been so awesome. most of these games even used the same way to collect things lol.
Halo 2. This game (more or less) set the standard for how FPS should be online on a console. Any FPS to come out after it was rated based on this SEQUEL. It had clans, ranks and other things that where not standard on any Console shooter. (remeber console)
Final Fantasy 7 Everyone knows this game is the RPG game to beat. Not even SE can recreate its hype. No RPG before it was as Hyped and some may say even till this day. Without this SEQUEL many of us RPGers would prolly of never even gotten into these games. Not to metion Most RPGs try to copy this game. (lost odd)
Grand Turismo 3 This is prolly the best in the series. Countless cars, tracks, etc. One of the highest selling gmes of all time. One of the first to take cars from fake crappy racers to real beast that act like the real thing. Without this SEQUEL There would be no Forza or other REAL racing sims.
Grand theft Auto 3 Must i even talk about this SEQUEL? ok ill make this one short... How many open world games have you played in the last 8 years? If its more then 5 you should thank GTA3. (saints row, AC etc)
edit: Street fighter 2- i dont no why i 4got about this. This is the fighting game every single other fighting game is based off of. thats a fact. (i will have to list all fighting games lol)
i can name lots more like Zelda 64, Perfect dark, etc but i think we all get the point.
My point of this thread is not to say "OMG i want all sequals no new stuff" but to inform people that all new games are not innovative and that all sequals are not trash and boring. I think (my opinon) that MOST innovation comes form sequels and not from new titles. Some of the biggest staples in RPGS, Racing, FPS, etc are from sequels.
So as i love new ideas and games i also love sequels so bring them on!!!
Discuss.
Edit: sorry about the mispelling i will correct as i check in im at work and typed really fast XD. i cant correct the title but you know what i mean.
