Unfinished trilogies

[majinbuu]

Just finished Neutopia II for TG16. I was so pissed after the ending of the second one, Dirth's still not dead. Then in the closing credits where it says "Watch out for Neutopia III in 199x" I thought it's Shenmue all over again. Another trilogy not completed

 

Anyone else play a game series that was never completed? And I was having so much fun playing that game too, didn't care if it was a blatant Zelda knockoff.

 

Thanks

A recent one that comes to mind is Maximo for the PS2. It's a shame because the story was getting interesting.

Beyond Good and Evil.

 

I suppose they DID at least close off the story arc, so it's not as bad as it COULD have been, but there's a few plot threads left dangling, and then there's the whole ending hook...

Highlander - Atari Jaguar CD

 

Was supposed to be 3 parts - only one ever came out.

Star Saga: One and Two, was supposed to be a trilogy. In the manual it still states; 'working on the next chapter in progress', but it never happened because MasterPlay went out of business.

Two of the best PC multiplayer space mission games ever.

Space Quest was supposed to have a part seven.. but I suppose that doesn't quite fit under the label "trilogy.."

SwordQuest.

 

Hey, if Douglas Adams can call the Hitchhiker books a "trilogy"...

Advent Rising.

 

I read this was to be a trilogy but the first game sold poorly and the sequels got canceled. Yeah, it's a more recent game, couldn't think of anything else....

Ultima 3rd trilogy. U8 is so different from past Ultima series it may as well be a completely different RPG game that Origin took and slapped Ultima title on it. So in a way the final trilogy of Ultima series is not "complete" U9 didn't work for me either because of 3D point of view is also different from past series.

[majinbuu]

well, it doesn't have to be a trilogy, any unfinished game series will do

Well, not a videogames, but there should be a Predator 3. And no AvP doesn't count because lets be honest, it sucked donkey balls! Predator 1 and 2 kicked major ass.

Thank god someone else thought AvP sucks

 

Everyone I know likes it for the GRAPHIX/CGI man!

Manhunter by Sierra On-Line. After playing Manhunter New York and Manhunter San Francisco, I was ready to take the battle with the Orbs just about anywhere. I think Manhunter London was planned, but sadly never ended up being part of the Sierra plan.

I think CGI has made movies much worse... I love movies from the 80's to mid 90's, before all the film makers started using computer graphics as a crutch for everything. They forgot a solid script, acting, and REALISTIC special effects make a great movie. Computer generated stuff generally just looks like fake crap. Although of course, movies like the newer Star Wars do a very good job to make CGI passable. I mean, there were some good moments in AvP, but overall, it was just so lame compared to the awesomeness of Alien 1-3 (yes I thought Alien 3 was quite good) and Predator 1 and 2. I just watched Predator 2 again last night, god I love that movie. It starts out screaming and never really stops.

Anyway, back on topic, does anyone know if Startropics on the NES was a finished series? I would like to know before I play it.

I never finished NES Star Tropics II: Zoda's Revenge, and I don't recall seeing any mention of a third game in that series.

 

As for me, SNES Shadowrun never got a sequel, despite the Shadowrun II teaser in the game ending.

SwordQuest.

That's why he's Douglas Adams and we're not!

 

SwordQuest was NOT supposed to be a trilogy but a "quadrilogy", if you will.

Shining Force III on Sega Saturn was meant to be a 3 disc series that would be released in installments. Even though all three discs were released in Japan, only the first disc ever came out in the States. I bought the Japanese second scenario disc, but playing an RPG in a foreign language (especially when you're trying to follow the story) isn't really all that fun. Very, very frustrating. Back then, the Shining games were my favorite RPG series. I pretty much gave up on them after the whole SF III debacle.

I'm still waiting for Monkey Island 5. Supposedly it is going to be made, but I have been waiting since 2001 for it.

The third Zelda game after Oracle of Ages/Seasons was cancelled.

 

kevincal, I understand your pain, I love Alien 3 and hate AvP as well. CGI just makes everything look so fake (including parts of the alien in Alien 3).

Eh? No one has mentioned Shenmue yet! I never really got into that game, though it was amazingly unique in it's own way.

 

Even though it was never actually meant as a trilogy, I wish they had made another entry in the Maniac Mansion / Day of the Tentacle series. I loved those games.

I've got the bogus Archon III on disk somewhere for the C64......I wish THAT was to become a reality....

Hehe. I knew I wasn't the only one!

 

I thought of a game series that needs a 3rd incarnation... PUNCHOUT! And it better star Mike Tyson! Ya he's hella crazy, but I've always been fascinated by him.

You're good. Heck, you could just play the first game.

Remember, this is the NES. Game companies didn't just assume there was gonna be a sequel.

[shadow460]

Does Super Mario Bros count? How long did we have to wait in the USA to get the SMB 2 that wasn't Doki Doki Panic?

 

I agree with SFIII and the Oracle games. I haven't played through much of either of the Oracle games yet, though.

Also did Daytona 2 ever make it to a console?

 

Hmmm, I'm still missing Red Alert for the Saturn, heck the whole Red Alert storyline got skewed when Red Alert 2 was released, and it got further skewed when Electronic Arts took over Westood Studios. I also want to know what happens after

Kane and CABAL have that chat at

the Nod ending to Tiberian Sun: Firestorm.

I always thought that the storyline from Red Alert 1 would work into Tiberium Dawn, then into Tiberian Sun. I never did see certain characters in Red Alert 2, though, to support that.
