Any good examples of a promised trilogy which never made it past part 2?.

As N0x0ss said, The Longest Journey was followed by its sequel Dreamfall.

And about Syberia, its sequel (Syberia II) was released two years later.

But I agree that it is really frustrating when a game's story is unfinished for lack of a sequel.

Sure it was. And it has more of an ending that the first game, but it still isn't really an actual ending, is it?

Dreamfall is a great game but there is no ending other than the fact that everything you tried to achieve failed and everything will come together in the next game that has not been made. Syberia 2 feels also a bit like a waste. You got to the end, you accomplished what you set out to do, and then what? What happens to the main character?

I actually liked the ending of Syberia II and if i remember well the story is closed.

There already have been rumors of Benoit Sokal working on Syberia 3 but nothing was ever confirmed I think.

Indeed :(

"On 1 April 2009 Microïds announced that Syberia III would be released on PC and PlayStation 3 in June 2010 as a real-time 3D game [...] In an interview given in February 2011, Benoît Sokal revealed that work on the game had not even started due to a lack of funding. He says that he would want to use real-time 3D graphics comparable to those of Assassin's Creed. However, that would require a very large budget. He states that developing the game on the same engine as Syberia I and II is not an option because that would lead to a commercial failure. As of 2012, there is still no information forthcoming regarding a release date or even any development work on Syberia III"

I almost got a heart attack after reading this, since not long ago I read that blog. I was hoping I misunderstood when reading it, but no... We'll get news about Chapters this year, not the game itself necessarily. I'm doubtful that they would manage to squeeze the game out before the end of the year, since they're probably busy finishing The Secret World before its release at the moment.

I remember Pariah. It was a fun game with a few neat weapons and the main character was a doctor.

Warpath is less of a sequel and more of a spinoff. Its an arena FPS similar to Unreal Tournament using the weapons from Pariah.

I only have one thing to add: Tie Fighter remake. ^_^

Space combat in Bioware's SWTOR is an arcade mini-game to earn some extra experience and keep yourself busy while waiting for an operation, but it's not Tie Fighter! So please Lucas Arts... Tie Fighter. Do a TF remake. I am sure hundreds of thousands of fans of the original will buy it if you announce it AND of course not some cookie cutter space shooter. If you add LAN and Online play with the ability to gain achievements and move up the ranks, I'll...

^_^

On the topic of shooters, I was heartbroken after learning that a XIII sequel never panned out.

Is it too soon too soon to think that Bulletstorm will not have a sequel? I liked it a lot and the ending was a cliffhanger.
Warhammer 40K: Space Marine should also have a sequel or I'll be dissapointed.

Umm, Syberia did have a sequel, and a VERY good one at that that gave a lot of closure to the games. however the developers have indeed teased another one but haven't did anything yet.

TLJ had Dreamfall for its sequel.

Bah, I managed to ruin the quotings somehow, this is about warpath anyway.

Yeah, I understood it being a spin-off morely, but wasn't sure. I need to look it up sometime, just for curiosity.
