Far be it for me to hope for a sequel rather than something new, but
if we /must/ have sequels, better it be for something like "Deus Ex"
rather than the 10,000th iteration of "Call of Duty", "FIFA" or
"Assassins Creed". Except we're not getting the former because it's
'too niche',* say multiple publishers who think the only way to
profitability is to market their too-large games to the widest
possible audience.

I have mixed feelings about Deus Ex. I don't like conspiracy
storylines and I thought the original game looked ugly. But I know
this series is very well regarded and I should probably try them out.
I own several of them so I probably will at some point.

As for sequels, I am fine with them. Some of my favorite games of all
time are sequels.
