Forums - Gaming Discussion - Most milked franchises 

What you guys think is the most milked franchise or franchises of all time?



Around the Network

Guitar hero
DDR ( I still love it though )
Mario



Need for Speed

We had this thread a few weeks ago...



Mario without a doubt!



Milked suggests its being repeated solely for money. Guitar Hero is the winner. Every other series of games, like Mario, at least attempts to maintain some semblance of creative expression.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Lately: Final Fantasy we got XIII, XIII versus and XIV supposedly coming out next year, then re-releases of almost every installment (VII available online just last week).

I like FF, but I wouldn't like FF brand soup. A well designed and entertaining game (regardless of platform) every 3 years or so seems like a good balance to me.



Mario.



Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.



1- Dragon Ball

2- Mario

3- N4S

4- Halo
