You can have three brand new games from some of your favorite franchises but they must be Prequels storywise to one of the existing games so no sequel.

I'll pick

1. Grand Theft Auto: Fallen Angels (with GTA VI's graphic engine) - set in San Andreas in the 80s with the style, vibe, and culture. But the focus is on the city of Las Venturas rather than Los Santos.

2. Final Fantasy VI: War of the Magi - I always thought the War of the Magi was pretty interesting whenever the characters bring it up in the game. Would like a prequel game about this event. Made with the graphic style of the Dragon Quest 3 2D HD style.

3. Resident Evil: The Bioweapon War - A game set before RE7 and will focus on Jill Valentine and Rebecca. Using the same graphic engine as their recent games/cg movies.

These are the ones I want, what about you guys?

 

[Bieren]

RDR2 prequel.

 

[Puscifer]

RDR2 prequel.

I'm honestly impressed at Rockstars stupidity at recreating the entire map of RDR for 5 missions where barely anything happened

 

[Deerock71]

Super Mario Bros. Plumbing.

 

[Daneel Elijah]

Demon's Souls and Dark Souls prequels. And its cheating a little but a new Metal Gear Solid. Any game in the series will do but a MGS2 prequel would be great.

 

[Robb]

The Last of Us, I think it could be really cool to see more of the actual outbreak and panic. Love that kind of stuff.

 

[violence]

I want a redo of Super Mario Bros 2, so I will say I want a prequel to Super Mario Bros 3.

 

[intbal]

The early days of Monkey from Enslaved would be interesting. Dude seems like he might have had an interesting life.

The Adventures of Corvo Attano, pre-Dishonored. Yeah, I'd play that.

Uh, Max Payne, maybe. When he was still just a legitimate Detective. Not enough regular law enforcement games out there. Maybe give him a car. Then it becomes True Crime: Max Payne.

 

[Husky]

If we had an Elder Scrolls prequel, it could be set in Atmora, or follow the Atmorans in their conquest of Skyrim. That would mean also featuring Snow Elves and Dwemer. Apparently much of the Dwemer mystery has already been answered in ESO, so I guess that wouldn't be a problem for a prequel game.

The best part of Horizon: Zero Dawn was Sylens. I'd play a Sylens prequel game, but it would suck not having him voiced by Lance Reddick.

We could also have prequels set before the real premise of the game began. Imagine Fallout, Dying Light, or Death Stranding before their disasters began. Watch_Dogs, but set in the '90s, before ctOS or smartphones. An Alan Wake prequel where you're just on a book tour. Ocarina of Time, but Link's just living peacefully in the Kokiri Forest, and getting bullied by Mido. Yeah, these sound awful.

-A metal gear game following the boss's cobra unit.
-Bioshock fall of rapture
- and yes the last of us the collapse.

 

[CashPrizes]

Vandal Hearts, you play as Arris the Sage leading the rebellion against the Holy Ashah Dynasty and learning the true demonic nature of the Vandal Heart sword and the Flames of Judgement.
(I really just want another Vandal Hearts.....)

Mass Effect, play as a mainly human team during the events of the First Contact War versus the Turians. The stakes wouldn't be as high with no Reapers, but it could be like a Rouge One situation, very personal story involving the formation of the N7 program and like the entire team dies in the end in a way that proves humanity is worthy to join the Council. Throw in some Rachni action, Krogan mercenaries, some spooky reaper adjacent stuff. Saren could be back as an ongoing antagonist, Captain Andersen could be part of your team.

Uncharted, just a younger Nate + Sully + Chloe and that bad guy from Thieves Among Us. Can't really go forward with a sequel story wise (without it starring Nate's daughter and/or ruining Nate's retirement) so go backwards.

Final Fantasy VI War of the Magi and Bioshock fall of Rapture are the best ideas I have seen posted by others. Last of Us starring Joel and his brother as Bandit Kings would be good, but I think that would probably work best as a co-campaign along with Ellie going back to the East Coast and learning how she is immune in Last of Us 3.

 

[acidagfc]

I will take three Bloodborne prequels, thank you.

 

[The Cockatrice]

but they must be Prequels storywise to one of the existing games so no sequel

 

[bitbydeath]

Motorstorm, cause I just want more.
Tokyo Jungle, the Outbreak.
Uncharted, but you play as a young pimpin’ Sully.

 

[Calico345]

Bloodborne: The Old Blood

Ninja Blade

Nightmare Creatures

 

[fersnake]

1. Metal Gear Solid 6 (Gray Fox story)
2.
3.

dont care the other ones just give me that. xD

It is what i wanted Andromeda to be. A prequel on the first contact war would be such a good setting. First contact with a hostile species humanity still just discovering the galaxy (haven't even found the citadel yet). There is the story of Ashley's grandfather i think too.

 

[Ribi]

Tetris
Bubble bobble
Candy crush

 

[March Climber]

Final Fantasy 10 Minus: The downfall of Jecht

Final Fantasy 16: Cidolfus’ story

Lost Odyssey 0

 

[pqueue]

a prequel to Deus Ex where they finish the damn Adam Jensen story.

 

[Davesky]

Final Fantasy X - Story of Jecht, Aaron etc

Uncharted - Sully backstory

Tekken 2 - By far the best lore and art direction in the entire series. A prequel showing Kazuyas full entire transition to absolute power and evil, akin to Michael Corleone in The Godfather, would work well.

 

[winjer]

Tetris

 

[Codes 208]

Bloodborne

Twilight princess (so technically a majoras mask sequel lol)

Halo reach (a game set towards the beginning of the covenant war)

 

[Gilgalaad]

-A metal gear game following the boss's cobra unit.
-Bioshock fall of rapture
- and yes the last of us the collapse.

FPS is not really my kind of game.

But a prequel to Bioshock, i’m in !

 

[Magic Carpet]

Tadpole: Frogger's early years.
Katamari: King of the cosmos dating sim.
Trials Tricycle.

 

[Gp1]

Metal Gear Cobra Unit

World war 2, The boss, Sorrow, stalingrad, pacific, occupied france, DDay, until post war germany/early cold war etc.

Warcraft 4 the prequel of World of Warcraft (cheating but who cares)

Rainbow Six Red storm - a prequel to Ubisoft takeover

 

[Cakeboxer]

Duck Hunt - I always wanted to know how that dog became such a spiteful cunt.

 

[balls of snow]

Bioshock Year Zero - The grand opening of Rapture. With current gen, we can have a fully realised underwater city with npcs everywhere.

 

[Labadal]

We got to play as young Kiryu, let us play as young Ichiban.

A game pre-Yakuza 4, playing as Akiyama.

A game where we play as a young Adachi.

More Like A Dragon games, in other words.

 

[IAmRei]

Mass effect, unification wars(?) i think it could be good idea

 

[Hrk69]

Most useless genre in ANY media: prequels

Rarely done right

 

[RCX]

Burnout Zero.

Its just more burnout. No open world

 

[Ulysses 31]

The Last of Us, I think it could be really cool to see more of the actual outbreak and panic. Love that kind of stuff.

And how the Miller bros survived the apocalypse and what they had to do to keep surviving.

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

Interesting question!

- FFX. To see the pilgrimage of Auron, Jecht and Braska

- Splinter Cell. Would like to see a younger Sam Fisher before he joined Third Echelon

Can't think of a third one for now.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Prequels are great, I think they can be really good. 007 the smarts, the abilities where did it come from? A 007 I think would be fresh.

My pick for a prequel is Biomutant, it’s one of those post apocalyptic games where you want to see where it started.

I’d love Cyberpunk prequel, there’s a lot of good material there.

 

[Husky]

Mass Effect, play as a mainly human team during the events of the First Contact War versus the Turians.

Throw in some Rachni action, Krogan mercenaries, some spooky reaper adjacent stuff. Saren could be back as an ongoing antagonist, Captain Andersen could be part of your team.

Even more like Rogue One, have the prequel follow the aliens at the end of a pre-human cycle as they continue work on the Crucible. They realize they won't be able to successfully use it against the Reapers, but they work to protect the progress they've made on it, to ensure future cycles can continue their work. The protagonist and their allies will all die to the Reapers, but their work helped ensure Shepard's eventual success, maybe hundreds of thousands of years later.

 

[El Muerto]

Hitman
RDR 2
Devil May Cry

 

[Pimpbaa]

1. Grand Theft Auto: Fallen Angels (with GTA VI's graphic engine) - set in San Andreas in the 80s with the style, vibe, and culture. But the focus is on the city of Las Venturas rather than Los Santos.

I’m gonna have to steal that one as prequels I would like, that would be cool as fuck. Especially since the the next gta is not in the 80’s. I would also like to see a RDR3 going further back in time. And my third choice would be Stellar Blade, I would to see a game starring Tachy before the events of Stellar Blade and perhaps showing how she become leader of her squad. Worse thing about wishing for Rockstar sequels or prequels is that it’s gonna take a long ass time to come out. Probably won’t see another NEW game from them until the middle of next gen.

 

[Danjin44]

Sekiro story of Lady Tomoe
Armored Core VI story that led to first Croal burning the planet and stars around it.
