14 Awesome-Sounding Video Game Sequels That Will Never Happen

13. Burnout Paradise 2

Burnout Paradise is one of the best-loved racing games of all time, widely praised for introducing open-world online multiplayer mechanics to the illustrious racing franchise, and creating a template that's been ripped off by dozens of racers ever since.

The series has been long overdue a revival with a sequel to Paradise, one which would retain the original's core elements while expanding the scope, and serving up some glossy new visuals, of course.

Why It Will Never Happen: EA probably doesn't see the necessity to revive Burnout with Need for Speed essentially taking its online open-world spot, albeit with mixed results (at least critically).

Furthermore, Burnout developer Criterion Games has veered away from racers in recent years, currently working on Star Wars Battlefront II, so unless a new team is brought on-board to bring Burnout back, it just doesn't seem meant to be.
