Why Do We Prefer Sequels?

well i think the only sequels that work are sequels that arnt sequals such as mega man thats basically still challanging no matter how many mega mans you play and its not TRYING to have an amazing storyline like most $#@!ty sequels and good sequals are games that can expand the story line without stretching the old one out into another game. a good example of an amazing sequel/prequel is the metal gear solid series......shame about the psp ones really

but still whenever they create a sequel its like a completely new game built in the world of metal gear solid with brand new storey lines which simply have refrences to previous games for people who have played all the games but subtle enought not to have new comers say wtf they on about, i personally think sequels should only be made when consumers demand it as they can tell if one is possible or the company planned one from the beggining and have there ideas for it already

the reason why there are more sequels/prequels than originals is because there are no new developers, the same people who have been making games last 10-20 years are the same people, if you want to see new games, than get new developers....obviously thats not going to happen anytime soon thanks to the companies addict to current game franchises
