10 Fan-Demanded Video Game Sequels That Should NEVER Happen

10. Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic 3

When it comes to Star Wars video games, Knights of the Old Republic will always reign supreme. Bioware's original RPG was a seminal title, and Obsidian's follow up, while clearly hampered by a limited production cycle, has come to be recognised as an incredible game.

Consequently, Knights of the Old Republic 3 has always seemed like a no-brainer; as close to guaranteed success as you can get in the video game world. Yet, despite constant demands from fans, and even the developers themselves, EA have been reluctant to revive the franchise outside of their MMO spin-off.

It would be amazing to see a proper third game announced - and there's no denying that there's passion internally to see it happen - but a release under current EA management would be a recipe for disaster.

When fans imagine KOTOR 3, they see an expansive, detailed RPG - something classically Bioware or Obsidian. Unfortunately, those kinds of games just aren't what EA are focused on at the moment, and you can bet that if it did come back, it would have forced live-service elements and multiplayer, essentially being Knights of the Old Republic 3 in name only.

A sequel in general isn't a bad idea - but in the current climate it's hard to imagine it ending up being anything other than a major disappointment.
