Since I started the anti sequel thread I will be glad to chime in.  I dont think all they make is sequels there have been plenty of new games coming.  I think you saying without sequels the gaming indiustry would suck was a little over the top. 

Yes but what about Halo3? ot GTA4, Final Fantasy whatever number they are up to?  Yes there have been some very good sequels but MOST (not all) are just a few tweaks and out it comes with little innovation.

Dont get me wrong I am buying a few sequels but when is it enough final fantasy 65?  Halo 80?

I will be buying Fable 2, GOW2, and COD5 but there has to be an end

Name a brand new game that really changed things? i cant think of many. wii anything is just new controls but there really isnt anything "new" there that i have not seen before.

 

Devil May Cry. Super Mario Bros (hmmm...). The Legend of Zelda. Baldurs Gate. Sim City. The Sims. Civilization. Half-Life. Doom. Quake. Golden Eye (Hmm... again). Command and Conquer. Wii Sports. Wii Fit. Guitar Hero. Dance Dance Revolution. Brain Training. Portal.

Most of these games CREATED a genre. Sure, you might argue that the sequels are sometimes better, but you cannot argue their impact. Without these games, where would the industry be today? ... Not where it is today anyway.

And if you say 'Wii sports and Wii Fit is just new control' you've totally missed the point of those games.

 

 all games were new at one point. i think you missed my point. read the OP again. I was saying that most innvation comes from sequels not new games. legend of zelda 64 was way more invative the the 1st one.

Also he answered my question which you didnt read. he stated 3 New games that are clones of other games. Wii fit is a Dance dance clone (you move off screen it moves on screen), wii sports is has controls of the acrade. its not new just its selling like crazy

 Also what i am talking about is lately there have been to many articles about how sequels is killing the industry and blah blah blah but im arguing that thats not true. Mab EA sports is, but Innvative sequels like the games ive metioned before are just as new and fresh as any "new" title would be. In fact all the new titles this gen are clones of things already done before.

So in short im saying that sequels are just as needed as "new" titles and id argrue even more so.
