Franchises you used to get excited for but don't anymore...

[Kresnik]

Everything, really. I don't get the same excitement from upcoming games that I used to.

For example, I was all kinds of hyped for MGS4. Kept checking up on new artwork and screenshots; speculating on what characters were returning from MGS2, all that kind of stuff. Now, I'm merely a bit "meh" about MGS5. I'll buy it when it comes out.

Same with Final Fantasy (although there wasn't an element of returning characters for that one).

Two of my favourite series of all time (as you can tell by my signature) are SSX & WipEout. There's less to get excited about them for because they're not story driven. As long as they were being developed by Studio Liverpool & EA Canada, I knew they were going to be good games, so I could just look forward to buying them, there wasn't as much hype.

I think I might get a bit excited if they announced a next-gen Ratchet & Clank developed at Insomniac Burbank. Tearaway also got a rise out of me the first time I saw it, but I think new game announcements are different from new entries in series you already liked.
