In this thread, we speak about sequels we wish would be made and what we would fix most about them. So not sequels that are coming out already, but rather ones you know won't come out.
Personally, I would love to see a sequel to Star Wars: Republic Commando. One in which you must go back and save Sev and then take part in random missions throughout the Clone Wars (before they sucked).
There are many things I loved about this games and a few I really hated. For one, the squad placement was fine, though no matter what hostility setting your members were set to, they were mostly belligerent. Better squad AI (Somewhat similar to Rainbow Six Vegas' squad AI) would be something more helpful and also allow the developers to pile on more shit to murder you throughout the game.
It'd be nice also to see them have a better use out of their talents. If Fixer goes down, Scorch nor Sev should be able to hack databases. And if they can, they should make it so Fixer is the one who hacks it faster or has some kind of bonus to hacking since that was his main profession. The same goes for bombardment belonging to Scorch and sniping belonging to Sev. One thing I noticed throughout Republic Commando was that most people could do everything. Your squad was supposed to have their own specific talents with you being the Jack of All Trades, yet everyone could do anything. There were many times when Fixer was down for me yet I was able to hack into turrets and all that. It should be made more realistic in the sense that the squad should be harmed if one of their specialists go down.
Most likely they went down to one of the seven weapons given to you throughout the game. I get it, the pistol regens, the rifle is your normal weapon and there's one special weapon held by each race of creatures. I get it.
I really do.
Though in the Star Wars universe, there are literally tons of different weapons available. It'd be nice if the game were to introduce more of a variant of weapons or even something like a custom loadout like the aforementioned Rainbow Six. One where you can customize not only your armor (while keeping your designated squad colors of orange, green, yellow, and red) but your weapons and ammo as well. It'd be a nice touch. Especially to an elite infiltration unit who should have accesses to resources and weapons of every caliber.
The multiplayer was always fine enough to stand on it's own, though what I loved most about the game that was not focused on enough was the camaraderie of the group. There should be more interaction between the characters and more dialogue from them. It's the mix of characters and their personalities that could even make the game for certain people. The best way for me to relate to how they would react with each other is best described by relating them to the Cable-Deadpool team up for their series of novels. We had Cable's serious attitude with the polar opposite of Deadpool. Fixer is a military officer in armor and Scorch is a Ferris Bueller with explosives, with Sev being the Murdock of the group and Boss being Hannibal. It's a team of opposite personalties that work together.
So, yeah. I want a Republic Commando sequel.
