Question above, I can't swear in the title thread and wasn't sure if shit is a swear word.
Personally, if Gearbox was to announce a followup to Brothers in Arms that was set in WW2, during the battle of the bulge, or anywhere else for that matter, I would lose it! Road to Hill 30 is still one of my favorite FPSs-es, and if they were to bring back that awesomeness I would be all for it.
Also I know this won't happen ever because they're going to work on Borderlands and Duke Nukem, and also the WW2 genre is dead so that would make it extra awesome if it were to happen.
What weird Sequel announcement would make you lose your shirt?
If they announced another Fear Effect. After checking out my window to see if pigs are flying, I'd probably do a little happy dance.
A successor to Terranigma or E.V.O.: Search for Eden would be nice.
DMC6 made by the same team as DMC3
Other than that - I honestly don't know, most franchises I love that I can think of right now are still getting sequels.
Actually, I think a sequel to System Shock would do it.
If they announced a new Quest for Glory or Space Quest, I'd be pulling a Mia Hamm right about now. Same with a sequel to Full Throttle or Grim Fandango. And although it's pretty much been announced now about a dozen times (and is still vaporware), I'd be one happy camper if Jagged Alliance 3 ever actually became a real thing.
That or The Red Star 2 would seriously just make me freak out the same way I did when they announced they were making a new Rocket Knight game a year or so back." Republic Commando 2 "
A sequel to Rumble Racing would make me lose my shirt, then rub my nipples.
" Actually, I think a sequel to System Shock would do it. "Didn't they do that 12 years ago?
Erm...I mean, yeah SS3 would be awesome. The ending just begs for a sequel. One which isn't Bioshock.
"Lose your shirt" is a completely acceptable phrase to use and I will start using it in my day-to-day life.
I would lose it if I heard about an Alan Wake or Mirror's Edge sequel. No more speculation. They just need to make them.
" No One Lives Forever 3 or Republic Commando 2 "I have been dying for a Republic Commando 2. Damn that cliffhanger ending!
I'll throw my hat in with those that want another Tomba.
Also, I would totally shit my shirt if Valve announce Half-Life 3 (or Episode 3). I realize they've made it no secret that they're working on a Half-Life game, but still, the moment they actually announce it: My shirt = shat.
When I read the thread title I immediately thought Brothers In Arms, but since you've already mentioned that one, I'll go with this:
" No One Lives Forever 3 or Republic Commando 2 "No one lives forever gets my vote - they are 2 of the best shooters ever made. Also genuinely funny
That would be awesome!" Jet Set Radio Future. Shirt would be lost. "
The only game announcement that would really make me shit my shirt is World of Warcraft II. Eventually, Blizzard is going to need to rebuild the entire thing fresh from the ground up, but in the past that has led to the diffusion of an MMO franchise as a whole. Everquest II, Asheron's Call II and Linage II never found the same success as their predecessors. Worse yet, once players of the original game became dissatisfied with the sequel, they didn't migrate back to the original but instead tried other MMOs. Many wound up in WOW. A Warcraft sequel could face that same dilemma when the time eventually comes. I find it hard to believe that Activision won't try to maintain WOW as a constant revenue stream for decades to come by allowing to the franchise to age to the point of obsolescence. I know Blizzard has another MMO project in the works, but any new IP isn't going to bring in the same number to players that a known IP will. That's why publishers like sequels.
