As for the new poll, my most wanted sequels in order are:
1. Crimson Dragon- Please MS, fund Futatsugi's planned JRPG sequel to Crimson Dragon, or at the very least a lower budget rail shooter sequel.
2. D4- Shame this is seeming more and more unlikely now that Swery has been forced to retire by Access, the only hope now is if Swery decides to acquire the D4 IP from Access and kickstarts a sequel.
3. ReCore- Huge potential for a great series here imo. Increase the budget, switch to Unreal 4, make the game longer (but not with repetitive grinding content), design multiple terraformed environments for each zone for some visual variety, refine the gameplay a bit, and you will have an excellent sequel.
4. Sunset Overdrive- This definitely needs a sequel, Fizzy demands it. Fortunately Insomniac is open to the idea of making a sequel, so MS just needs to fund it. Probably the 2nd most likely sequel on this poll after Ori.
5. Quantum Break- Another badly needed sequel. There are so many unanswered questions, so many loose plot threads. Unfortunately a sequel seems pretty unlikely, Remedy doesn't seem interested and their next 2 games are already mapped out with a different publisher, so even if they did decide to make a sequel it probably wouldn't release before 2020. However, there is always the hope of MS finding a new studio to develop a sequel, since they own the IP.
6. Ori- I enjoyed Ori but it didn't really blow me away as much as it did some people. It is the most likely sequel here though, considering the success of the game. In fact, a sequel already leaked, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and the name sounds plausible to me so it could be legit.
7. Ryse- The only game on this list I've never played. The roman setting never impressed me and when I saw the reviews I decided to skip it. However, I do see potential for a good series. If Crytek were to go for an Assassin's Creed like approach with a different historical setting each game I'd be interested. Sadly a sequel doesn't seem likely, even though MS wanted a sequel, Crytek wasn't happy with Ryse's sales. MS attempted to acquire the IP from Crytek and Crytek refused to sell it. Since then Crytek hs reorganized their company around F2P games and VR games, so a sequel is seeming more and more unlikely unless it's an exclusive for Microsoft's upcoming Scorpio VR project.
Screamride I simply don't want a sequel to. It was a mediocre roller coaster game at best. Frontier's new coaster game, Planet Coaster, seems infinitely better, I'd rather they do an XB1 port of it instead.
