The most milked franchise

madden for crying out loud, , could say football in general theres just little room for improvment excluding the wii , without wii , , theyd be just roster updates for the same price every year its getting rediculous,

another series -

sonic this game went from awsome to dull within the last gen , i dont know how many sonic games their are since sega went down but you know what its more then any other series sega tried , lol

and halo, since the 360 came its been nothing but a halo fest , , first with halo 3 , then halo on xbox originals, halo wars then halo odst coming

hasnt microsoft got anything besides halo this year , probably not , not counting n64 ports of banjo

Guitar Hero, whenever I see them guys playing it on Youtube I cringe, how can they keep buying them?

NEWS FLASH!!!!! Anyone who did not put John mutha @!?}'n Madden at the top of their list is either too young to remember just hold long ago the franchise started OR too niave to realize that you ARE ESSENTIALLY playing and paying $50 - $60 for THE SAME GAME EVERY YEAR. The only true change is the roster (Which nowadays can be updated through DLC). The object of the game will NEVER CHANGE because the object of football will never change. At ABSOLUTE WORST..........Madden should be within the top 3 most milked franchises in gaming history.

pokemon or halo.

12345678ew

Halo have what 3 to 4 games.not including ports

As of late it's easily Guitar Hero. Amongs the top are The Sims, Dynasty Warriors (or whatever they are called), Pokémon and various party/puzzle games. There are probably penty of other titles I could think of but those are the main ones.

And for those so say Mario: Mario is Nintendo's MASCOT he "stars" in different plenty of spin-offs, but that does not make them a Mario (Mario) game in the sense that Super Mario Bros 3, World, 64 and Galaxy is. Which there are few and each and everyone of them masterpieces in their own right.

Tony Hawk and EA sports was also added after I read trough the thread.

Tekken.

Whats that? playstation 6? very original..

Gamingcucumber

Do they have to include him in over 200 games?

madden? you do realize its a sports game right?! it's a new season every year for christ sakes, no **** they will make a new game and try to make it better. that's not milking it. milking it is when you realize a bunch of iterations of the same game with no improvements whatsoever. and anyone who actually plays madden knows that ever since madden first came out 20 years ago, it has improved drastically

Guitar Hero. My God it's disgusting how much they've raped that series. COD, Madden, and there's been like 50 Ratchet and Clank games and each one is exactly the same.

Final Fantasy and Guitar Hero come to mind.

Final Fantasy and Guitar Hero come to mind.

EVOLV3

I wouldn't say that Final Fantasy has been heavily milked. Sure there have been countless remakes, side-games, compliations, and ports. But at least there aren't like 5 Final Fantasy games a year like Guitar Hero....

Was I the only one who got a good laugh out of this?

[QUOTE="KingTuttle"]

There is NO franchise more milked in the gaming industry than Star Wars. Every system (and arcades) since the dawn of video gaming has had an iteration or 10 of this franchise. All other franchises pale in comparison to this giant milk machine.

[edit]PC Games

Two PC games were licensed by Capcom but made by Hi-Tech for the PC. These games featured original bosses and levels, with inferior gameplay and graphics compared to the console games.[citation needed] Both games are considered non-canon by Capcom and the general community. Note that the second game is titled Mega Man III due to the popularity of Mega Man III on the NES; it is not related to the console version. There was also no "Megaman II" for PC; Hi-Tech has never addressed this issue. Rockman Strategy is a rare Chinese PC game produced by a Chinese company endorsed by Capcom.

Also Mario series have variety, there's Mario golf, Mario RPG, sidescrolling Mario, Mario tennis, etc.

Mario

[QUOTE="AdobeArtist"]

[QUOTE="psychobrew"]Good points. Madden needs to go first person style. It's reallt getting old. Halo is turning in to a milking cow just as much as COD.psychobrew

Oh come the *bleep* on already. Halo and COD don't even come close to Madden, Tony Hawk (can't believe how many people missed that one), Dynasty Warriors, Final Fantasy, Pokemon, Mario or Sonic. Hell, not even if you combined the two, would they exceed any one of them in reiterations.

What say we leave the speculation out of this. The future hasn't happened yet, so we can only go by the release count for games that have actually occured, not what is on a drawing board, real or imagined.

Mario, Ratchet and Clank, Halo, Tekken, almost all sports game franchises.

madden, guitarhero, tony hawk, COD, pretty much anything activision touches gets milked. Silenthps

Guitar Hero and Rockband. Releasing songs as DLC, and mixing songs from past games with a different tag is sad.

i think any franchise that doesn't change its games in anything more than graphics is milking. halo does not milk, as much as i hate the game. halo 2 changed it. recon will change it, and the rts changed it. final fantasy had tooo many games just alike with different stories. i think only 3 games changed anything in the main series, but it is completely milked because of all the spin offs. the sims, need i say more. call of duty sadly is getting worse. cod4 was refreshing, it changed alot, but codwaw sucked balls. mario for the most part is milked, galaxy and 64 excluded. starwars. wow. guild wars. command and conquer. gh. rock band. need for speed. battlefield, while yes it changes things abit, but 2142 and heroes killed it for me. hitman kinda. halflife, when you consider opposing force, blue shift, ep 1, ep 2, and the new ep 3. neverwinter nights. king of fighters. i know people are going to hate me for this but, you can kiss my shiny metal @$$

dynasty warriors, mario, guitar hero, donkey kong, zelda, pokemon, star wars

Halo? FF? Some ppl don't know what true milkage is, not even GH with all those spinoffs is as bad as Mario, Sonic, Megaman or the Sims.

Sonic hands down, because they still milking it even though there hasn't been a good game since Sonic 2.

Ratchet and Clank.
