You can discuss whatever you like.

You said all I needed you to say, Halo is being milked.

I can't remember a time when four projects based off of one game were being done at the same time. (Halo chronicles, Bungie's Halo, Peter Jackson's halo, and third-person Halo.)

Again, Halo is being milked like every big franchise. You argued that the big franchises weren't getting milked, and I proved you wrong.

Halo has sold roughly 25 million copies since 01. That is a lot of development money for Bungie, considering the costs of making each game. Very few series have had that kind of power behind it.

And does Final Fantasy ring a bell? How many projects are in the works right now? We've had the normal series at 12 games in 19 years, 3 or 4 GB games, remakes of 1-6, spinoff series by way of Crystal Chronicles, and the XIII saga which is rumored to have atleast 3-4 projects, which are all in the works. Likewise, Resident Evil is similar - it's been on every major console, sans the Xbox since it debuted (PS, N64, DC, PS2, GC, Wii, PS2, PS3, X360).

So yet again, Halo is having the same thing done to it as any big, good franchise.

And again, your initial post was that FF, DQ, GTA, Pokemon, GT and a few other series never had this kind of milking, and I proved you wrong.

DMeisterJ,

The whole point is that Halo is getting milked, like other series have. You said that some series haven't had that many releases that quick, and you were entirely wrong. The userbase was much smaller in the NES/SNES era, so it's the same thing. Excuse yourself all you want, but your clearly wrong.

I'm not arguing the series is getting milked, but how many other series have been getting milked? Guitar Hero is up to an insane amount as a PS2-era game, and God of War is getting milked too - It's had 4 games in 4 years if GOW3 comes out next year!

So do we want to discuss Sony milked franchises too?

Final Fantasy 13, Final Fantasy 13V, Final Fantasy 13 DS, Final Fantasy 13 Cellhone... and the two unnamed Final Fantasy spinoff games?

Also when you mentoned FF you forgot the Final Fantasy Crystal games on GC, Final Fantast Tactics Advance, and Final Fantasy X-2.  I'm sure  abunch of Chocobo games too.

So, you done here stickball?

You said Halo was milked.  That's all I wanted to hear. 

Have a nice day friend!

I do check the mario licence lol...  mario, mario party, mario kart, mario have sex with luigi, mario is cheating on luigi with diddy kong doing kiddy animal abuse..... come on people they all milk like it's not even funny.... acutally MS is getting creative with it not like alll those number 1 to 999999..... and pokemon what a fad.... the stupidest jap animation ever made since drawing exist... shows how the human brain is starting to go through desevolution

 



@ Kasz.

Final Fantasy is a good example of why people don't view it in the same light as before. Ask anyone and their favorite one is generally VI or VII. Because square has sacraficed quality of games for quantity of sales. XII was generally not well received, and I expect the same for XIII. It'll sell well, but critically, people are not welcoming every new FF with open arms.

Have any of them had five or six (counting Peter Jackson) in seven years?  (aside from Pokemon.)

No.

Final Fantasy released #1-5 in 6 years. (87-92)

Dragon Quest released #1-5 in 7 years. (86-92)

Grand Theft Auto released #1-5 in 7 years. (97-04) - GTA I, II, III, VC, SA

Want me to keep going on about your failure?

 

Two different things.

First off, Final Fantasy and Dragon quest were all on the (S)NES which had short dev time.

Grand Theft Auto:  Well played. 

But how about Final Fantasy Ten, 11, 12, and 13.  Four games in eight years

How about Gran Turismo?  Over ten years, only four main games

Dragon Quest on the PS?  Years inbetween development.  VIII came out forever ago.

Want me to keep going on about your failure?

 

 Typical PS3 fanboy mentality.. you're counting eggs before they hatch again...

If we count Halo Wars coming this fall then its 4 in 7 years... not 5 or 6 as you stated

Hmm I detect some serious franchise milking , Halo 4 will be the 5th Game using the Halo Name right ?

GTA, FF, GT, DQ, Pokemon, DMC, MGS... should I keep going?

As long as fans keep buying they'll keep releasing

No.

 

 your joking right? If not your making a complete fool of yourself.

You do understand there are 4  5 or 6 FF games in development RIGHT NOW That doesnt include the ones that have just been released. FF will have at least 10-15 games released in that span of 7 years AT LEAST.

 

Also when you release a demo of a game and sell it for 40 bucks (GT) thats not milking it???



Owner of all consoles cept DS.....Currently in love with prototype!

I expect 60 or more players online. I think they will try to do the impossible. We'll just have to wait and see. Halo 4 will defintely be a top seller.



TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Yea iand sadly enough Halo Wars was pushed back sometime in the spring according to the dev demoing it on G4. Im leaning toward the fact that there are only 3 halo games in development and they will be released from now until 2010. Just a prediction nothing more.
