Halo and CoD

Both series have out stayed there welcome. unless 343 studios is able to bring Halo back to its former glory I think it should have ended with 3.

Vinegar_Strokes

reach was the best halo to date, so it is already at its former glory.

It was just the same Halo gameplay we've had since 2001. The first game was called Combat evolved, its a shame that the evolution process ended there.

Why is that? There has been nothing but fantastic games coming from those franchises on consoles for the past few generations.

I find these threads kind of amusing, as if popular franchises need to "die." They are popular and successful, they don't need to die. Its games that are failing their developers the more iterations they make. An example would be Dynasty Warriors. Its just getting to the point where there isn't any good reasoning to keep it alive.

It was just the same Halo gameplay we've had since 2001. The first game was called Combat evolved, its a shame that the evolution process ended there.

Its also a shame it never "evolved" anything in the first place. All it did was take what had already existed in several games, and mash them into one. If anything, thanks to the recharging shields, it devolved the mainstream FPS genre.

Pretty much. it has a few changes but not enough considering how much time has passed since CE.

CE was great for its time, Reach was just average.

No i still don't believe it, sorry that's BS.johny300

Fair enough, I am not forcing you to believe anything.

toast_burner

I believe the point of reach was to go back to the series roots with the health system and a few other things. But I do think Halo has done a pretty poor job with the evolved, not only has the series evoled little, but also Halo itself just took a bunch of elements that already existed.

Hmm...not sure what needs to die, but the jrpg and fps scenes really need an overhaul. Demon's Souls did a good job (combining elements of western and eastern rpg). Not sure what can be done about fps though. Definitely need more 3rdps. Vanquish is an example example and fresh take on 3rdps.

Mario may have to die if only because you need two hands to count most of the games involving him.AncientDozer

Why? No one seems to be coming up with reasoning as to why these series and franchises need to "die." Why does Mario "need" to die? Why does Call of Duty "need" to die? These things are successful for their respective companies, and in the case of some of them, they've been getting some of the best games ever to grace their series' this generation. Hell, Mario got three astounding platformers (2x 3D, 1x 2D) this gen (SMG, SMG2 and NSMBW)... more than any other gen besides the NES.

none. If I don't like it, I don't care what it does, as far as I'm concerned, it can die in streets or it can rip 10 year olds wallet. what I believe we need is a reboot, and with that, none other than Tony Hawk deserves more. .... actually just remake the first 4 in a single game and kill it.

I miss the greatness that was Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4:cry: Anyway, Guitar Hero is definitely a series that needs to die or at least not have 2-3 installments released every year. That is all I can think of.

SW Battlefrnot is a franchise that needs to ressurect.

PAL360

Ahh, Battlefront. That was a really good game. If they released a sequel that had the features of the sequel but still having the... "color?" of the original, I'd be so happy.

[QUOTE="johny300"]Uncharted, we need something new after U3. KZ, after 3 GG needs a new IP.II_Seraphim_II
Dude...really? This franchises just started up. Sure there was KZ1 on PS1, but look at the long distance in time between KZ1 and KZ2. Definitely not something thats being milked or needs to die. As for Uncharted, can we give it some time please? The franchise is brand new and just kicking. Heck there are other games that have gone longer. Halo for instance has had 6 games in its universe already. God of War has had 5 games (excluding any mobile games). Pokemon has had 2 billion games which are IDENTICAL to each other save 2 different pokemon. Dont even get me started with Call of Duty, Medal of Honor and Guitar Hero. All I'm saying is, when it comes to franchises that need to die, there are far better candidates. And its not like the KZ and Uncharted franchises are bad or anything. They are critically lauded. I could understand if we were talking about "Big Rigs 3" or sumthing, but these are fantastic games which havent been milked.

So is pokemon.

Even if they are very similar it speaks to the quality of the formula that it still getsconsistently great reviewseverywhere.

I wish I was making things up, let me google it.

Here you go

Some people are taking their favorite franchises way to seriously if they are going threaten the developer to make more. :(

Maroxad

Dear Good, that's so lame, remind me a little about Evangelion.

However, i don't think that's the reason he made MGS4, i honestly think he really wanted to make the game the way it is, i mean, you can tell the game is made with passion and care.

First off COD needs to die for a few years and Medal of Honor was good IMHO they just need some work since it has been out of the game for a while. NFS series is good as long as they stay in the Most Wanted/new hot pursuit style the other ones between most wanted and hot pursuit were horrible.

Sonic franchise, do I really need to explain why?

FF13 should have removed what little of "gameplay" was there and just been a CG movie.

I always thought Underground was better then Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 that is my second favorite Tony Hawk game behind 3. The last Tony Hawk game I liked was Downhill Jam and Project 8.

And I thought I was the only one who voted for Tony Hawk(it's about time), how this game series went from a 10 with the PS2 version of TH3 to a 3.5 with Ride is what I can't figure out. A sahem seeing how I enjoyed the older games.

  • Madden - Or at least the concept of a game a year, look it's the 7th generation of gaming, DLC is pretty much set it, and there are games out there way more advanced than Madden is that get way huger DLC files that Madden. You can't tell me that a roster update and adding new players would be anything to grueling and huge for madden, when we have other game developers giving who games, new mechanics, maps, guns, and characters in some DLC packs alone.
  • Final Fantasy - Never cared much for it, has been going down hill since 10, and only people keeping it afloat are weeaboos.
  • The Wii____ series - Ok Nintendo before you try another, please don't do it.
  • Guitar Hero and Rockband - Don't kill it, maybe, but rest it for like a decade or a half of a decade and bring it back. Other than that, no over saturated and bad now.
  • Tekken - This is a sad one for me, Tekken was one of my first playstation games and I remained a loyalist since up until Tekken 5. Tekken hasn't evolve since Tekken 3, adding new bland characters, and the music is terrible now, seriously the music was good on the PS1, not it's just bad over produced junk. And please, don't even bring out that movie. I would rather see a overhaul like what Midway is doing, kill out some old characters, bring in some new ones with some new move sets and new mechanics and you have a deal
  • Tony Hawk - Skate is better
  • Fable - Peter, you tried and you failed. Sorry, time to give up.

Mario, Halo, Zelda, Metal Gear, as long as they keep making good games, then they can stick around. Other than that, no, no need to have animosity towards good franchises as long as they stay good.

Sonic is an obvious one also, but I have too much hope in Sonic still actually. Maybe because I didn't play any Sonic game after Heroes(which I thought was bad) but I just wish they could recoup the team that worked on Adventure and it's sequel, and just go back to that. Seriously, just tighten it up a bit and bring in update graphics. Those seriously were not bad games.

Some of them have been great. Like Goldeneye, Chronicles of Riddick, Star Wars (Some of the games), Lord of the Rings (Mainly based off the Books with the actors from the Movies), Spiderman 2, The World is not Enough, and Nightfire.

Call Of Duty

Medal Of Honor

I think that sums up everything quite nicely.
