* ''[[Dead to Rights]]'' was released in 2002 and follows Jack Slate, a cop in Grant City. ''Dead to Rights 2'' was released in 2005, and despite it being a numbered actually takes place before the original game. A third game ''Dead to Rights: Reckoning'' was released for the PSP shortly after #2. It actually precedes 2. There is a fourth game announced for release in 2010. With luck, it will feature Jack as a fetus.
** Judging from the Wikipedia page (and change this if I'm wrong) it seems to be a remake with a slightly different storyline of the first game. So, Yeah, four "sequels" and we haven't even got past the first storyline. Whoopie...
* The ''[[Armored Core]]'' series is a great example of this. Each successive game takes place several years, sometimes even decades after previous one and casts the player in the role of a new [[AFGNCAAPFeatureless Protagonist]] with no connection to the previous one. Usually [[Capcom Sequel Stagnation|the presence of a number in the title indicates]] a [[Continuity Reboot]]. So far, ''Armored Core'', ''Project Phantasma'', ''Master of Arena'', ''Armored Core 2'' and ''Another Age'' take place in one continuity. ''Armored Core 3'', ''Silent Line'', ''Nexus'', ''<s>Nine Breaker</s>'', and ''Last Raven'' take place in a second continuity. ''Armored Core 4'' and ''for Answer'' take place in a third. And it's yet to be seen where ''Armored Core 5'' will fit in.
** There's also the [[Gaiden Game]] ''Formula Front'', which uses elements from the ''Armored Core 3'' universe, but it clearly not set in it. It's really just a [[Fighting Game]] [[Humongous Mecha|with Robots]]... [[Virtual On|No, not that one]].
