Biggest franchises that are now dead

[SvennoJ]

I've always been into racing, some of the biggest corpses

Need For Speed, over 150 million sales over the decades. It should have died sooner though, and can still come back ('shelved' for now).

Burnout, Paradise killed it.

Wipeout, went portable and died. It did come back to console remastered but Psygnosis is no more.

Forza Motorsport, MS killed it.

Colin McRae Rally, went through the Dirt. Died with Colin McRae himself.

SSX, last game focused on Survival, it did not.



After playing Exocars (rally) and VRacer on PSVR2 (Wipeout clone) I wonder where all the talent went. So much forgotten when it comes to handling and track building :( It feels like arcade racers have been set back decades. Big step back from playing Dirt Rally and Wipeout on PSVR1.
