MrFlibble Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I'd like to ask you to list the video game series that have more than three titles (sequels, prequels and whatnot) that you know. Platform and genre don't matter. Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFlibble Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 I've got some vague ideas about the concept of video game series, but I think I'll come up with something to discuss. Generally, I'm interested in the dynamics of game worlds development, the relations between games etc.Could you please specify, if possible, the prequel/sequel/parallel story/anything else status of the games in the series? E.g. the six titles in Prince of Persia are actually two different trilogies. And whether the titles are all of the same genre or not, too.

Timenn Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I edited my post to give more details on the series. Though you should check Wikipedia or MobyGames for more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megashrap Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 As far as long lasting I would say BF2. And the expansions they are still as fun to play today as it was 3 years ago. I hope they keep expanding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I was going to just list all of these from memory, but then I thought 'No, I'm really too lazy for that' and went to Wikipedia.Tomb Raider:"The following versions have been released so far, listed in chronological order:Tomb Raider (1996) - Sega Saturn, PlayStation, PC, N-Gage, Pocket PC, Mac Tomb Raider: Unfinished Business (1998) - gold edition of Tomb Raider, PC, Mac Tomb Raider II (1997) - PlayStation, PC, Mac Tomb Raider: The Golden Mask (1999) - gold edition of Tomb Raider II, PC, Mac Tomb Raider III (1998) - PlayStation, PC, Mac Tomb Raider: The Lost Artifact (2000) - PC - standalone bonus title comparable to the "Gold" editions of I & II Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation (1999) - PlayStation, Sega Dreamcast, PC, Mac Tomb Raider: Chronicles (2000) - PlayStation, Sega Dreamcast, PC, Mac Tomb Raider (2000) - Game Boy Color Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword (2001) - Game Boy Color Tomb Raider: The Prophecy (2002) - Game Boy Advance Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness (2003) - PlayStation 2, PC, Mac Tomb Raider: Legend (2006) - PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360, PC, PSP, GameCube Tomb Raider: Legend (2006) - a 2D version for the Game Boy Advance Tomb Raider: Legend (2006) - a 2.5D version for the Nintendo DS Tomb Raider: Anniversary (2007) - PlayStation 2, PC, PSP, and Wii Upcoming:Tomb Raider 8 - for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Acriku Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Did they have more than one Magic video game? I recall one, but a crapload of games for the card game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyborg Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 You forgot Might and Magic; the first person "version" of Heroes of Might and Magic!The main series of Might and Magic: * Might and Magic: The Secret of the Inner Sanctum (1986; Mostly sprites. No real 3d.) * Might and Magic II: Gates to Another World (1988; Mostly sprites. No real 3d.) * Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra (1991; Mostly sprites. No real 3d.) * Might and Magic IV: Clouds of Xeen (1992; Mostly sprites. No real 3d.) * Might and Magic V: Darkside of Xeen (1993; Mostly sprites. No real 3d.) o Might and Magic: World of Xeen * Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven (1997; 3d world, but sprite characters, software 3d. Good graphics) <- MY FAVOURITE! * Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor (1998; 3d world, sprite characters, hardware 3d. Good graphics.) <- A VERY GOOD SECOND PLACE! * Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer (2000; 3d world, sprite characters, hardware 3d. Not very good graphics at that time.) * Might and Magic IX (2002; All 3d. Not very good graphics at that time.)Other games in the series: * Crusaders of Might and Magic. (A third person, 3d adventure game, I think. Never played it.) * Legends of Might and Magic. (Online game. It was initially planned as an MMORPG, but ended as a largely ignored online FPS. A catastrophy.) * Warriors of Might and Magic. (Two PS2 games were produced. I've played both. Most enjoyable!)All of the above were developed by 3DO.A 14th game came out last fall:Might and Magic: Dark Messiah. (A 3d RPG, almost kick-in-the door-style. Quite enjoyable. Good graphics.)Regarding Heroes of Might and Magic:Let's not forget King's Bounty and King's Bounty 2! Those were quite like the HMM games, made by the same producer, and very, very good!

gunner154 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Yes. They had, as far as I know:Magic: The Gathering (based on the cards itself. AI will know how to play Magic too)Magic: The Gathering - Spells of the Ancients (expansion pack)Magic: The Gathering - Duals of the Planeswalkers (combination of the above two, plus some bonus features)Magic: The Gathering - Battlemage (crappy game)Magic: The Gathering - Battlegrounds (3D, and very very unlike the actual card game)My favourite is obviously Duals of the Planeswalkers. Magic: The Gathering features an adventure game in which you start out as a lowly wizard with a simple deck and you go out and duel other wizards. Defeating them will let you win cards, and you can buy cards. Plot is dull - to stop some wizards from casting some spell that will destroy Shandalar, but exploring dungeons and going for the big wizards does make the game very interesting.I'll add one more game to the list: Neverwinter Nights!
