    I think he's talking about the sequel they were making before it got shut down in the sequel you were a space bounty Hunter it had the feeling of a mature 3d Metroid esque game seemed neat

    I do believe 4 was the last proper one in the series, around playstation 1. Then they f*cked up part 5 for ps2 incredibly bad and since then it's been out of the picture, only recently making some stupid mobile game app or some multiplayer online , which might've well been called anything different.

    Apparently even in Japan the app store rated it averagely at 1.7/5 stars and i'm not sure it released internationally.

    Custom robo was always a good series

    Rocket slime

    We need a Warcraft 4 - not wow

    Sure there's more but that's all of the top of my head for series games at least, I can think of plenty that deserved a sequel.

    Populous the beginning was great.
    I miss Black and White.
    Can’t believe there’s another person that remembers Tomba.
    I also miss Earth and Beyond.
    Wish we had a sequel to Warship Gunner/Commander that was a fun game. Might have a bit too much grind though.

    Too many innovative games gone. Now the gaming industry is flooded with god damn e sport shit.

    Wish we were back in the good old days where game companies tried new shit instead of rehashing our the same crap year after year.

    I'd love HD remasters, or even better, HD remakes, for the following series if they can't at least get a proper sequel:

    Legend of Dragoon
    (PS1) - A wonderful JRPG that made the Greatest Hits collection, and was a pretty good game that rivaled the FF series in playtime an content back in the day, and had plenty of potential for more sequels or a remake. It was similar yet different from the FF series of the time, and it's a shame it wasn't ever expanded further on.

    Vanguard Bandits (PS1) - A Medieval-style SRW-like game. Sure, the Trails of series comes close with mecha in the latter half, but it's not quite the same.

    Xenogears (PS1) or Xenosaga (PS2) - Xenogears in HD and slightly smoother control movement would be perfect. Xenosaga deserves an HD remaster or remake, and completion of the story (the last 3 episodes that were planned). Xenoblade Chronicles on Nintendo just isn't the same.

    Trapt
    (PS2) or Kagero: Deception (PS1) - A unique trap-setting game where the protag can't really attack herself, but sets up elaborate death dungeons and uses herself as bait to draw would-be attackers to their deaths. There was a PS3 version, but a PS4/X1 sequel would be nice.

    Einhander
    (PS1) - A wonderful little rail shooter from Square that I miss. Simple, straightforward, yet unique in its setup. A shame Sony and Square just kind of abandoned it despite it also becoming popular enough for Greatest Hits as well.

    Drakengard 1&2
    (PS2) - 3 was great, though technically a Prequel, but HD remakes of the first two would round it out real well.

    Final Fantasy VIII
    (PS1) - Yeah, everyone loved VII, even me, but I found VIII interesting with the split timeline thing going on. The Draw system was the only annoying one since it limited how many times you could use a powerful summon.

    Star Ocean: Til the End of Time (PS2) - I personally found this to be one of the best versions in the series, and while it's perfectly serviceable in the current day, I'd love an HD Remaster. Sure, the series is technically still alive with half-hearted sequels, but I'd like one that is as extensive and engaging as Til the End of Time, with plenty of side quests and equipment to unlock both post-finale and pre-finale.

    Bloody Roar (Series) - It was a relatively novel fighting game different from the more usual Tekken/SF/DoA games with the capability to shift into a were form and go to town.

    Soul Calibur 3 (PS2) or Soul Calibur (Series) - Another unique fighting game, though I really liked SC3's Chronicles of the Sword mode for original characters as well as the general depth of customization (alongside SC5's customization too). If SC3 got an HD remaster at least, that'd be enough for me, though I'd prefer a sequel combining SC3's Original Character Chronicles of the Sword mode with SC5's customization system, and some actual dedicated costume support (not the BS where Japan SC5 got plenty of costumes but NA got only about half).

    I'd really love to see more then anything else a remake of the NES game "The Magic of Scheherazade" or "Star Tropics"
    man Wild ARMs was the first PSX game I owned I love that game to death(I both love and hated alter code F)
    Last Remnant is probably on of my favorite game that I own for 360

    .hack//G.U. Last Recode came out recently it's a collection of remastered copies of the three G.U. games Rebirth, Reminisce, and Redemption, as well as a new 4th .hack//G.U. Reconnection. so Zaest you got both port/remake and a new game all rolled into one

    I only played Wild arms on the PS2 and I can't exactly remember the names of them. I know the first one was the 2nd to last and had a sequel the MC had two hand cannons that were like shot guns and there was a guy with a gun sword. The other game actually came out before the first game and like Rush from the last remnant had a time altering ability. I didn't play much of this game but I liked it a lot to bad my ps2 crashed...

    The last Remnant was a game I played on Xbox 360 as well I hated the story but the combat system and recruitments were way ahead of its time and so innovative! If you took and remastered it today maybe adding MMO like CC, dungeoning and war modes you'd have a best seller! I wonder if the DLC was any good? Never did get a chance to play them on Xbox. Might just buy TLR on steam.

    Chrono Cross is a game I want an updated version of... it was really fun to play, especially with all of those different characters that you can unlock and how you can hear about what happened to them if you don't pick them up.
