If the latest gossip is to be believed, Scribblenauts is going to become a franchise, and it will do so as early as next year! Warner Bros. accidentally let slip its list of 2010 games, with Scribblenauts 2 revealed among them. Not only that, it will expand beyond the DS to include both a Wii and PC version as well.
As well as Scribblenauts, the other big leak was F.E.A.R 3, the follow-up to the rather awesome F.E.A.R 2 that released earlier this year. Batman: The Brave and the Bold is also listed for DS and Wii, along with a bunch of licensed properties and silly casual titles that nobody cares about.
Scribblenauts was a good game with a promising premise, let down by bad controls and shoddy physics. If a sequel could fix that, it may be excellent, but the overall gimmick will have lost its novelty value. It will be very interesting to see what, if anything, can be done in the sequel to make it worth a return trip. As for F.E.A.R 3, the last one impressed me enough to keep me moderately excited.
What about you? Do these sequels sound like good ideas, or should Warner Bros. focus on something more original?

Actually a second Scribblenauts has the potential to be much better. If they just add in a better control scheme and implement some new puzzles and it should be better than the original.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold is its own animated series based on the premise of the long running Brave and the Bold comic, which teams up other DC heroes with Batman usually. Don't go expecting Arkham Asylum out of it, but done right it could be a fun co-op game.
If The Creeper, Hal Jordan and Green Arrow aren't in it, though, I question its existence. Aquaman is unfortunately a given. Hopwfully his ability to talk to fish can make him useful this time.
If there was a game that needs social network integration and probably won't get it, its Scribblenauts.
it could take advantage of the pointer style controls for typing and placement, and then turn the wiimote sideways and get real controls for movement and interaction.
F.E.A.R 2 is in my PS3* as I type this and its bouncy camera is making me nauseous *green face*. I can't even think about F.E.A.R. 3 right now other than to comment that they need to seriously overhaul that graphical engine and...add RPG elements and random gun drops**.
*$20 new at fine gaming stores for anyone willing to try it.
**Blame Borderlands for that comment, dammit.
If they redo the controls and physics in Sribblenauts 2, I might be interested.
I think I'd shank somebody if it meant getting a Shogo 2. They hinted at a Shogo 2 in FEAR 2, just watch find Snakefist and watch what he's wearing ;)
Jk, games based on shows inspired by comics always suck. Excluding the one that doesnt ; if it exists.
SCRIBBLENAUTS 2!!!1!!
Hopefully this one will have Chuck Norris in the library. (And a Dragon appears.)
And maybe the ninja would kill a lone pirate like in reality.
And if you type in bad words Maxwells parents would appear and scold him.
Seriously. It's the same game over again. $15, sure I might pay that. It's just the same game with a few new things.
BOYCOTT 5TH CELL. BOYCOTT SCRIBBLENAUTS 2.
Haha, yeah. They've been adding Shogo easter eggs into a lot of their stuff. Club Shogo in the Matrix Online, redesigned similar weapons from Shogo in the first FEAR, references in NOLF and Blood 2. In one of the FEAR 2 dev diaries someone runs past in the first few minutes and yells, "Did someone says Shogo!?" To say that Shogo is still in their minds would be an understatement.
Yeah, I loved their dev diaries. Did you see the one where they were dressed up like Christmas characters and Rudolph ended up teabaging Frosty? Hehe...Monolith amuses me.
Lol, yes I did. I still hold out hope that there will be a Shogo 2 as unlikely as that is.
