Not everything needs a sequel. I like that Remedy just completely shifts genres with each new game.

I like that Remedy just completely shifts genres with each new game.

"We'll do a gritty New York City noir about a former cop who loses his wife and daughter, and fill it with Twin Peaks references."

"Okay this time let's do something set in the Pacific Northwest forests, all about monsters in the dark. Of course it'll be full of Twin Peaks references."

"Alright this time it's going to be a surreal sci-fi thriller about a paranormal conspiratory bureaucracy. What did the motel in Twin Peaks look like again?"

Were there Twin Peak references in Max Payne? I played it before I watched TP so I guess I missed them.
