Vin Diesel
Remember back when Vin Diesel wouldn’t do sequels and we gotxXx: State of the Unionstarring Ice Cube and the worstFast and Furiousmovie? But thenRiddickhappened and, obviously, Diesel returned to theFast and Furiousfranchise to mad success.
Well, it’s kind of like that.
Team Meat (Super Meat Boy) was adamant about not makingSuper Meat Boy 2. Then, last year, it put its new project, the cat-breeding simMew-Genicson hold until it could finish its newer project,Super Meat Boy Forever. Here too “sequel” talk was avoided, asForeveris an auto-runner, likeBit Trip.
Speaking toGame Informer, Ed McMillen said working onForeverand realizing the team could bringMeat Boyto new platforms brought about a chance in perspective. “What we talked about was possibly working on a sequel, and it’s something that I like a lot. There were aspects ofForeverthat were moves that Meat Boy did…that we were prototyping that felt like they could be better used in a sequel. The future ofMeat Boyis definitely up in the air, but a sequel is something that I wouldn’t be opposed to doing even though we both said that we wouldn’t do it.”
McMillen also noted that the pair said it wouldn’t work on moreMeat Boyafter burning out finishing the original. “We purposefully avoided working on another Meat Boy because we didn’t want to jump back into it.”
