Recent ones, Doom 2016 is the best example of modernizing and bringing freshness to a series.

You know it deserves the GOTY.

Yes, and still retaining the old feeling of ripping space monsters to pieces back in 1993. ^^

You guys feel Mario Kart 8 DX has modernized it's franchise?

What are we meaning by modernizing? What did Mario Kart 8 DX offer that Mario Kart 8 didn't?

Revamped the battle mode.

Is that really enough to call it a modernization?

Not really, more like an improvement.

Would you say Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus modernized Wolfenstein?

No, because there was already The New Order.
