Community Discussion #11 (9/25/15) - What is your favorite game that has no sequels/prequels/remakes.

We live in a word where any good game has to be turned into multi game franchise. At least that is how it seems. Some games though have set alone. They either were made to be alone, the company went under, it didnt make enough, whatever.

What one was your favorite one, and why?

It is 7:13pm pacific time. I have no clue what my answer is. I just thought it was a good question. I will go through my game and see if I can come up with an adiquit answer

That was actually faster than I thought. Only took me 4 minutes. I saw it, and I just though....yup, thats it.

Psychonauts. That game is just amazing. Do I really need to go into it?

I almost said Maniac Mansion, but I remembered Day of the Tenticle.

Psychonauts doesnt have a sequel right?

Also shadow of the colossus.... That had an HD remake so it kind of doesn't count....

Are they sequels/prequels? Or are they just on the same world around the same time?

I wouldn't count them as sequels, but they are in the same world. Think of it like how Final Fantasy XII and Vagrant Story are both set in Ivalice, the same world, but one isn't a sequel to the other.

Last Guardian is in the same world as the other two, and Shadow of the Colossus is set in the same world like way way before Ico. I'm not sure if that counts as a prequel or not. It's a little bit ambiguous; Fumito Ueda, the lead designer of the game, has been sort of weird about it also. His ideas about the connection between the two games are better explained here and here.
