9 Amazing Video Games That Will NEVER Get Sequels (And Why)

6. Cold Fear

You'd be forgiven for not remembering what the hell Cold Fear even was. This mid-2000s survival-horror gem was an utter joy to play (well, not really considering it was pretty darn terrifying), being one of the games at the time to push what the genre could be. Set on a tanker, you were cast as a lifeguard forced to overcome a zombie-like infection, with a gameplay style similar to Resident Evil 4.

However, it was those similarities to Resident Evil 4 which ultimately killed any chances of it becoming a franchise. Even though the two were in development at the same time, Resi beat it to the punch, and as a result it was very easy to write Cold Fear off as a clone. It didn't help that Capcom's franchise essentially executed every idea better as well. Players had a choice between the two, and just about everyone went with Resident Evil.

As a result, the game sold a staggeringly shocking 70,000 copies in the US. The only title I know that's sold less than that is 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand - and when you're being bundled in with that, you know something has gone terribly wrong.
