cogadh: ^^This. Unless the Sin IP is sold off to someone else or MumboJumbo gets bought out by someone with an interest in and the resources to make FPS/action games, the Sin series is dead to all of us. A real shame too, the first episode showed some great promise.
As for the series I'd like to see revived...
Freelancer - was supposed to have a sequel, got cancelled. Terrible injustice.
Freedom Force - was supposed to be a trilogy, now we'll never know how it ends (unless you've read the Phoenix Saga in X-Men).
Advent Rising - goddamned game ended on a freakin' cliffhanger! Was also supposed to be a trilogy.
KotOR - yes, I know there is this MMO coming out, but that is not a sequel to one of the best damn games ever, that is a travesty.
Star Trek: Armada - I'm probably one of the few on this one, but I played the shit out of the first two games, would love to play me some more.
NOLF - the fact that there were only two of these games is another terrible injustice (I don't count Contract J.A.C.K., no one should).
Tron 2.0 - yes, I know about the new movie and the requisite video game tie-in, but neither of them have anything to do with this hidden gem of a video game.
Scrapland - Not really a great game, but a great universe to play in with tons of potential. A sequel or two would get my money.
You forgot one of the best generic horror shooter this half decade....Clive Barker's JERICHO........the second game is supposed to be partially set on an oil tanker or cargo ship packed with 666 dead babies and shite, to coincide with the ending of the first game somewhat.....

VoodooEconomist: More games in the Planescape setting.
But some crazy Wizards living on the Coast even removed the option to buy .pdfs of the old edition setting =(
Change names of major enemy types/locations/etc just enough to be legal but so that people will know what they are from playing PS:Torment. Then have fun making a new game of it. But some crazy Wizards living on the Coast even removed the option to buy .pdfs of the old edition setting =(
drmlessgames: Ritual was bought by Mumbo Jumbo, so they own the game. Zenimax doesnt have anything to do with it. Has someone tried contacting them? They may listen, since their core games are not the type of games Ritual made.
Snickersnack: Sin was built on idtech 2. I doubt Mumbo Jumbo can open source Sin without Zenimax's blessing. It's likely that even their gamecode is tainted with id's IP. Hmmm ... does anyone know if the original Sin ever had a sdk released? I have not tried contacting them. I suppose the way to do it would be to sell the idea to the old Hipnotic crew and see if they can open doors for us.
Sin would make an excellent GOG.
