Sifted this because I just got the Final Cut of Blade Runner in glorious HD. Will be watching it as soon as I get my MKV Media Player.

actually, no.
you were never that young, joe. those are choggie's old photos and memory implants, and your incept date clock only has... 3 hours left.

groovy macro depth of field, though!

Some of these games are the classics they are because they didn't come out of a sequel machine.

Quite a few of these games should not have sequels. Some because a sequel could only fail to meet expectations, some because they were downright terrible to begin with, and others because there's just no place for one.

• Uniracers - "Uniracers 2" could be a crappy flash game, at best. Leave it alone.
• Red Dead Revolver - Not only should there never, ever be a sequel, but I hope a few people lost their jobs for creating the original.
• Psi-Ops - A $50 gimmick. By all means, reuse some of the ideas, but no sequel, please.
• Tech Romancer - I'm greatly skeptical of any game, show, movie, etc with a title consisting of randomly chosen unrelated English words. I'm looking at you Guilty Gear, Melty Blood, Sailor Moon, One Piece Gear Spirit, Groove Adventure Rave Fighting Live, etc.
• Call of Cthulhu - 3 sequels were planned, but the dev went out of business.
• Blade Runner - I'd rather see a modern remake than a sequel. A new story in the universe.
• The Last Express - Leave it alone.
• MULE - The inspiration for an entire genre as well as influencing others. It doesn't need a true sequel. Also, I think the marketability of a game about mechanical equine is pretty poor these days.
• Rampart - See Uniracers
• Giants: Citizen Kabuto - Inexplicably absent from the list.

TERRA NOVA BITCHES

And some of those games should never have sequels, this includes Blade Runner, Grim Fandango and any other great adventure game listed there.

I'm a professional ID, and let me tell you, his name comes up during critiques all the time. I really like that quote "reminds you of something you've never seen before". I'm a huge advocate of that visual evolution of objects. You should be able to relate an object to what came before, and imagine what it might look like in the future.

Apparently the hotweels guy never saw the "happy place" blade runner was set in.

that's why many of us are so kind to siftbot, banky!

because we've seen Blade Runner, and we don't want sifty coming back to crush our skulls barehanded, eyeballs first!!

"I just saw this on the big screen a few weeks ago. Awesome movie."

You lucky bastard. Blade Runner is one of my all time favorite movies and I was so excited when I first heard that the Final Cut would get a theatrical run. Then my excitement was brutally crushed when I discovered it was not going to play ANYWHERE in the SF Bay Area. Chicago got it but not San Francisco? WTF?

i liked it but was about to stop watching about halfway through it but th end was great except the blade runner comment.the DC is much better then the
original. and han shot first greedo fired as reflex action like in a lot of
cowboy movies.

had to edit because of the blade runner comment just noticed i had caught myself up in another nerd battle
lol

Holy Crap! Your like freakin Bart Allen!

Fantastic reference - this is why I joined the Sift. It is really nice to see an intelligent community come together and feed itself. Let's hope this one can outlive its growing pains (RIP, WELL).

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I know what you mean about the crap movies made from SF books. Still, I long for good SF movies. I'm hoping there will be some kind of SF renaissance.

So many good books out there waiting for someone with vision. Blade Runner is a good example of a movie that used the book for a jumping off point, to become something different but good.

I love Bladerunner but I also wish that someone would "reimagineeer" it closer to the book. So many cool things were cut out.

I might have to go watch that special again
