Games that DESERVES a sequel or two..

Easy one this Gizz,

Frontier.

I'd love to see a new version of Frontier with better AI, more ships and a more detailed universe to explore.  The sheer open-endedness of the game made it playable in a way that few games since can equal.  Better yet, a new version of Frontier would lend itself well to online gaming, as has been seen recently with Eve.

Speaking of which, does anyone here subscribe to Eve?  From what I've seen of it I'd give it a go were it not for the fact there's no broadband in my neck of the woods.

But only as long as it's playable in single-player mode.

It depends...  You could either have a closed arena "dogfight" style game in multiplayer mode or each online player could play a part in a whole evolving galaxy where both human gamers and AI characters are involved.  The latter would require a dedicated server with lots of processing power, but it's a nice thought.

Fontier II was a brave project, but the open endedness of the prequal was lost to a large degree.  It simply wasn't as great a step forward as it should have been, and that's before we remember the crippling bugs that were present in the early versions.

I spent many hours playing Frontier and it's an absorbing game that soaks up many hours of gameplay.  The only other game I've played with a similar approach to open endedness and freedom of gameplay is GTA3 on the PS2...
