Sony has a habit of milking there series...

[QUOTE="danthegardner99"]

So making sequels to games is milking. Hmmmm...... Your only defense to your milking claim is that the series gets worse as it goes on. God of War II was a improvement in many ways over the first. I also think Ratchet and Clank A Crack in Time will be much better than Tools of Destruction. If any series is milked it is Mario, but SMG was an amazing game and SMG 2 will be better. Your milking claim is totally wrong.

-please explain what was improved fom gow1 to gow2? kratos plays exactly the same except different spells. or do you think different monsters and new "button sequance" finishing moves makes it much better? bosses were more memorable in 2 but that was about it for me
*not that i hate the games i like them, but in no way was improoved in many ways

anyway back to the topic, r&c is the most milked franchise in history as like you said like 10 games in 2 gen.
others, not really, guitar hero/band/etc.. are going to be top milked soon.

mario isn't really milked, his name/image is, but the main franchise is not, 1 per gen for a while, 2 this gen, its not that bad(and at least they all/most play differently). actually the only mario franchise game that is/was milked is mario party

If the fans want them, keep 'em coming.IronBass

The term Milk is used to often. Zelda is milked because it has had, 4 console games since 98?

-Syphon filter over 4 games in the series since 1999 or 2000 and there not even that good

Oh i miss those games, have some great memories of me tazing people until they burst into flame.

they all do it. when you get a big game going its good to keep making games for that franchise. even movie makers do it.

but sony is prolly worse then any. specaily in the same gen. how many rachets and clanks were they last gen?

This thread fails. The only one of those being milked is ratchet and clank.

Going with your logic,I guess the Gears series, Halo series, Forza series and the other games are being milked too.

-Ratchet and clank over 10 games since the PS2 days..If they keep cranking up like this,Most likely ratchet and clank will be multiplat just like crash and spyro did 5 yrs ago..

-Killzone already 3 games in less than 8 yrs more than Gears of war..And gears is more popular..

-Resistance..Same as the killzone games in less than 5 yrs..milk that milk the cow sony

-Syphon filter over 4 games in the series since 1999 or 2000 and there not even that good

-God of war series- over 3 games in less than 10 yrs,Generic hack n slash with medicore gameplay give it a rest sony

-Gran tursimo-PSP version coming in this fall..milk milking it...The series has been downhill since 01'

See what im going with this ppl? PPl like you guys like to point the finger and call out MS for milking there franchise..In reality sony is the one milking there dumb franchise ugh!....

None of those would be considered milking, except perhaps Ratchet and Clank... except for the games are still really good and their not just taking advantage of a brand! if you want milking try Guitar Hero

hmmmm, if the games are in demand, why not?

Nothing about 4 halo games in 8 years and 2 on the way. Look at Forza and Project Gotham as well it is just solid series get sequals or updates it is what people want and the companies want money and know what will bring it in.wooooode

comprehension skills for the win :D

read the TC's post again, he's attacking people who complain about Microsoft, of course he's not going to say anything about Halo or any other game from their stable. :P

let put it this way sony could have forced it's devs to start this gen by making sly cooper 4, Jak and dexter, Rachet and clank and socom 4 but instead the let these individual devs come out with uncharted, infamous, resistance and soon to be released MAG. they fact they waited all these years to truely make GOW3 into a really amazing game and gave the GT5 guys this much time and invested in a bunch of new devs and new IP's like media molecule and LBP or all the the PSN gams like the pixel junk games, or flower, and recenlty fat princess all of this really shows sony doesn't just want to milk it's games it wants better their systems year in and year out.

i wish i was the mod who was about to ban you. oh the joy he will feel.

The only one there that has been going at it for so long is Gran Tursimo but that's just like Madden, Forza, or any other sport/racing game, it can be improved and then released again. Rachet and Clank has always been a third person shooter/adventure game, Killzone has always been a shooter, the only reason it was a third person game on the PSP might have been because not many shooters with much depth has been made for handhelds.

Syphon Filter? They still make those games? It hasn't been out for a short period of time, there has been 7 since the first in 1999 and they it has been milked look at games like Mario or Final Fantasy. God of War? Seriously? Two games on the PS2, one on the PSP and the third and final (of at least the current story) for the franchise. Not to mention that it has had an on going story through at the series, something actually even Hollywood worthy.

Milking games isn't bad, only unless the game has become boring and unoriginal. This is when the developers take it up a step by re-introducing it in another genre, which is when you know they are desperate to get money out of it. As long as we don't see several version of Halo Wars come out, several other Mario games come out, and as long as Final Fantasy doesn't become a racing game then i say keep em coming, if they can keep it original that is.

"PPl like you guys like to point the finger and call out MS for milking there franchise..In reality sony is the one milking there dumb franchise ugh!..." If you don't like the way fanboys work then quit complaining and stay away from Gamespot all together. You act biased your self, lowering yourself to the position of others, acting like them - doesn't help you prove your point because "in reality" Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo all milk there "dumb franchise".

*shakes head, walks out*bleehum

Having sequels isn't milking.

Give me a break, Ever heard of Halo? thats the definition of milking. GOW is the greatest game series ever made.djsifer01

[QUOTE="toast_burner"]

none of those could be considerd milking apart from ratchet and clank

Killzone,Resistance? heck games like halo and gears in there prime MS werent pumping up games every year...And halo is more popular than the resistance series and killzone combine.

lol, fail post is win?

The only one that made sense was the Ratchet and Clank.

Since when is having sequels conducive to milking? Halo hasn't just had sequels. It's had genre spin offs.

And I don't know that any of the games you've listed have their own softdrink...

The only comment I have to offer to ths list is in regards to R&C: The game is meant to be episodic. It's not just one epic story, so naturally, it's going to have more installments.

like i told you in ur other post, aren't you tired of making pointless thread? seriously take a day off this site and come back with better thread

By your logic, Halo and Forza are both SERIOUSLY milked franchises. How could MS milk their franchises so much? :?it's sickening.

TC u need to stop complaining about something that should not affect u and less u let it if u think a company is milkinga game then dont buy it simpla as that

just cause u dont like a game does not mean they should not make a sequel u seem to forget that each person has their own taste in games not everyone likes to play colorful shooters with pink tanks

am not a fan of halo but i dont go posting how ms milks it just cause it sells but if u think about it anything that people like will be milkedit dont matter it its sony or MS their in this business to make money not to please fanboys

why dont u bring up mulit plat games that milk their series like cod that comes out every year and how bout sports games they come out ever year also

but i guess its only milking if its sony exclusive game but i guess that makes sense from someone that think paying for xbox live gets u lag free online play

lol

like i told you in ur other post, aren't you tired of making pointless thread? seriously take a day off this site and come back with better thread

da_illest101

u cant blame TC for his actions he is putting out this pointless threadsbecause he has nothing to do while he waits for his RROD xbox360 to be fixed and has not gotten it back yet

and until he gets his xbox360 he will continue making threads trying to put the ps3 down because ps3 sales hurt his pocket and xbox360 sales gets him more money plus he is loyal to ms since he knows they care about their customers thats why ms put high quality parts when they built the xbox 360

and am sure with TC's logic the ps3 has a higher failure rate than xbox 360

Just how I see it, if the games are still great and gamers are enjoying them then no need to stop. What should stop is when some dev's say a particular game is the last game in the franchise when it's usually never the case

[QUOTE="CDUB316"]

[QUOTE="SpinoRaptor24"]That's nothing compared to games like Mario and FF.SpinoRaptor24

mario is mario

and FF doesn't count because that's just the name of the titles....but EVERY game is has different characters, story, setting, etc. and even sometimes different battle systems too

Give me a break, Ever heard of Halo? thats the definition of milking. GOW is the greatest game series ever made.djsifer01

I would like to agree with about GoW but you made one error, GoW is not a game:x !

It's so much more :D

"3 games in under 8 years" :lol: What milkage.
