Newcomer here. How do new technologies fit into this equation? Super Metroid was a breathtaking improvement, but I think it's not a fair comparison, because Metroid and Metroid 2 were games for vastly inferior devices. Should a developer consider the posibility of waiting until the next generation of technology is available to release a sequel? Is it a smart move? Hey! Newcomer here.

Keeping it up over and over again is difficult. Thanks for the comments! Halo and ME2 were also great examples of franchises that had strong sequels. Keeping it up over and over again is difficult.

It burried those half-implemented role-playing mechanics and made it more into a shooter with lesser but more focused RPG elements. I thought that Mass Effect 2 was a brilliant sequel.

It was a total upgrade from the previous game. The same didn't go for Halo 3. Halo 3 felt more like a patch with added levels. Halo 2 was great! It was a total upgrade from the previous game.
