Games that have been superfluous by their sequels

[80s Stallone]

Ok. List games whose sequels were better in most/all aspects, so there is no need to play the original game anymore.

Warcraft => Warcraft 2
Worms => Worms 2
[...]

 

[Chamezero]

Planescape: Torment => Torment: Tides of Numenera

 

[catfood]

Fallout 2 -> Fallout 3

 

[Janise]

Morronshit => Oblivious

 

[Somberlain]

Pillars of Eternity made IE games obsolete

Wasteland 2 made Fallout 1 & 2 obsolete

Broken Age made LucasArts point & click games obsolete

Mighty No. 9 and Yooka-Laylee made 2D and 3D platformers obsolete

Geometric shapes made numbers obsolete

 

[Delterius]

Warcraft 2 => Warcraft 3.

 

[Jarmaro]

Gothic 1 => Gothic 2

Need For Speed: Underground => Need For Speed: Underground 2

Is Fallout:NV considered sequel to Fallout 3? Then F3 => F:NV

Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets => Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban

 

[mario.g]

Jagged Alliance => Jagged Alliance 2

 

[mbv123]

Mount & Blade => Mount & Blade Warband
Age of Empires => Age of Empires 2
KOTOR => KOTOR 2

 

[octavius]

HoMM 1 => HoMM 2
Age of Wonders 2 => Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic.
Both are worth playing for their campaigns, though.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Realms of Arkania HD

 

[Don Peste]

Unreal Tournament 2003

Unreal Tournament 2004

Although I would like to read an expert opinion explaining what happened with UT2k3, was it actually that bad?

 

[RatTower]

Sim City => Sim City 2000 => Sim City 3000 => Sim City 4

Good thing they called the new one Sim City again, so this list is still valid.
Also..

Rollercoaster Tycoon => Rollercoaster Tycoon 2

 

[DraQ]

Worms => Worms 2

Not if you, for example, preferred the pixely visual style over cartoony visual style.

Elite -> Frontier: Elite 2.
Oblivion -> Skyrim (obviously)
Arguably Arena -> later TES games (other than Oblivion).
Arguably early Wizardries -> final Wizardry trilogy

if not limiting yourself strictly to one series, then Wolfenstein 3D -> Doom

Unreal Tournament 2003

Unreal Tournament 2004

Although I would like to read an expert opinion explaining what happened with UT2k3, was it actually that bad?

Well, it was essentially half baked 2k4 so it kinda became obsolete by default.

 

[CruduxCruo]

Chess => Battle Chess

 

[fantadomat]

Baldur's gate => Baldur's gate siege of dragonspear <= Baldur's gate 2
Might and magic 3/4/5/6/7/8 => might and magic 10 = might and magic 9

 

[Alienman]

Men of War Assault Squad => Men of War Assault Squad 2.

Sequel is a lot better, graphic, engine-wise and it got a couple of more maps and mods. But when it was released it sure felt like a cash-grab.

 

[NotAt0mic]

Tomb Raider (2013) => Rise of the Tomb Raider

RotTR basically just its predecessor with more stuff and nothing removed. The gameplay is almost identical.

 

[Outlander]

GTA III - GTA Vice City
X - X2
Portal - Portal 2
STALKER Clear Sky - STALKER Call of Pripyat
Deus Ex IW - Deus Ex HR
ARMA - ARMA 2

 

[taxalot]

Oh, it's one of these threads where everyone post something retarded ironically.

 

[Jaesun]

Fallout 2.
