Forums - Gaming Discussion - How many of your favourite game series are dead?

...or quite past-it? I was thinking about this, and I was alarmed at how many of mine were. For all the great games out today, it saddens me to realise how many of my favourites have been lost:

 

1. Pokemon - Alive

2. Gran Turismo - Alive

3. Jak and Daxter - Pretty Dead

4. Worms - Past it

5. LMA Manager - Dead

6. Theme Park - Dead

7. Wipeout - Almost certainly died (or changed forever...) with Studio Liverpool's death this week

8. Uncharted - Alive

9. Guitar Hero - Alive, but for how much longer?

10. Super Mario Galaxy - Alive, but if NSMBWii sells much more, I wonder how many SMGs we'll get in future...

How about you? (Yes, I know my top 10's an odd bunch, lol).

What happened to Fire Emblem. Last one they released in NA was in january 2009. It was the worst FE i've played, and reeked of bad design choices. The last GOOD FE was released in 2007... its now 2010 and we have heard nothing.

Console mario rpgs? The SNES had one, the n64 had one, and the GC had one. Super Paper mario was more of a platformer, and was lower in quality. When will we get a new mario rpg for consoles?

Counterstrike. When will we get a new CS? the first came out in start of 2000. Source came out end of 2004. It's now 2010. Am impatient



 

 

Simcity seems dead or dying. Simcity 4 was the last real release and it doesn't seem like we're getting a new one anytime soon.
Jet moto is dead.



1. Resident Evil - Alive
2. Grand Theft Auto - Alive
3. Devil May Cry - Alive
4. God Of War - Alive
5. Prince of Persia - Alive
6. Jak & Daxter - Dead?

PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

My top 5 would have to be:

Harvest Moon (Alive)
Dead or Alive (Alive)
Final Fantasy (Alive)
Ogre Battle (Dead?)
Warcraft (I fear that with WoW the next RTS is really far away :( )

So, 4 out of 5 isn't too bad. Also, I must say, kudos for mentioning Legend of Legaia. I loved that battle system.



I wonder if Suikoden is dead??? i want one for the ps3 =(
Wild Arms on PS3 would be nice too.

FF is pretty much alive
my other favourite series are just beginning so i think they might not die anytime soon



Too many of my most beloved franchises are dead:

Age of Empires
Warlords (the turn based strategy series)
Lords of the Realm (turn based/RTS combo)
Gabriel Knight
Jedi Knight
Hexen/Heretic

Sux.



KoToR got turned into an MMO so. . . yeah, dead.
