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

Zelda, Metroid, Deus Ex and Souls are the only franchises I can get really excited about.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Around the Network

Resident evil
Silent hill
Final fantasy
call of duty
devil may cry
wipeout
teken
ridge racer



I think Call of Duty, SSX, and Smash Bros all fit in there for me as well.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Silent Hill - Once the king of horror games until SH4 came out which had a lame story, clunky controls, boring enviremonts and worst of all... it wasn't scary. Ever since this awful game things only got worse and i lost all interest in this series.

Smackdown VS. Raw - Awesome fighting game that used to improve and innovate it's modes, controls and graphics with SVR 2007 on top. 2008 was a bit of a letdown but still fun, but any game after was basically the same.

Harry Potter - HP trilogy were not great games but they were really fun! 4 however, was if i remember very linear and boring, that game just ruined everything.

Assassins Creed - I liked the original, tho i didn't like Desmond the story was not bad at first. AC2 is a better game but not my cup of tea that's where i started to lose interest but i gave it another chance and tried Revelations but it was so boring and Desmond only made things worse so i gave up on this franchise.

Tekken - Tekken 1 to 5 are awesome games, Tekken 6 was very dissapointing.



GTA San Andreas --> GTA IV (less content, worse environment)
Midnight Club II --> III --> IV (worse content, less fan)
TOCA --> GRID (less content, no decent motorsport environment)
Colin McRae --> DiRT (less content, no decent rally environment, worse graphic style)
Soul Calibur III --> IV (worse gameplay)
Rome Total War --> Medieval II (worse gameplay)
Mega Race 2 --> 3 (big LOL to what they did)
MotorStorm Pacific Rift --> Apocalypse (worse environment)
Crysis 1 --> 2 (no military warfare, only aliens)
Sonic Adventure 2 --> Heroes (worse gameplay, worse levels, worse graphic style)
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 --> 3 --> 4 --> Underground (worse levels, worse style, worse game structure)
One Must Fall 2097 --> Battlegrounds (worse content, less content, worse gameplay)
Virtua Tennis 2 --> 3 (worse gameplay, no smooth graphics)

Worse than disappointing sequels, these awesome games didn't have any sequels at all:
This is Football 2005
The Getaway Black Monday
Crashday
Z Steel Soldiers
Destruction Derby Arenas
Vanishing Point
SWAT 4
Smuggler's Run Hostile Territories
Test Drive Eve Of Destruction
Project Gotham Racing 4
Command & Conquer Generals
Homeworld 2
Monaco Grand Prix 2
TrickStyle

If the videogaming industry picked half of these series and did proper sequels, I would be the happiest person in the world!
