Yeah, I still remember that time, we were so used to see their promises delivered. I'd want to go back to thatMan, i went into this generation thinking "OH MY GOD IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITES" when it came to these franchises. Absolutely horrible how they all turned out.
The funniest part about FFs decline is fools made $400-600 bets on that shit
I love gaming, as in playing good games. What I don't love is watching most of my favorite franchises being taken in shitty directions and streamlined for casuals. Unfortunately, that has been the case with the vast majority of franchises that extended into this gen.
Everyone has different tastes, but I don't see how anyone could argue against most of the nominations in this thread (FF, Splinter Cell, Hitman, Resident Evil, Silent Hill... etc.).
Yeah.
New IPs, have been pretty decent though.
I'd say fighting games are the only ones that haven't seemed to have suffered.
I quote someone I knew at the start of this generation:
Him: "Xbox 360 is dead in 2 years."
Me: "Why?"
Him: "Final Fantasy will be out for PS3, PS3 will have the rest of the JRPGs. It's the most important genre to gaming. And JRPGs are mostly Playstation exclusive."
Roll on snare drum...

Uh....
Deteriorated:
Sly Cooper - Sly 1, Sly 2, Sly 3 last gen...Sly 4 this gen
How was Sly 4?
The series has deteriorated this gen. We haven't gotten a single Sly title until the end of the PS3's lifespan, and it's not even by Sucker Punch.

Turns to walk out on stage, E3 2006
A lot of Zelda mentions.
The series has stalled since LttP, IMO. With Mario, at least you can say there's been a revival with the Galaxy games (being better games than some of their predecessors). Same with Donkey Kong and Metroid. But if someone were to argue that the Zelda franchise has been gradually declining, I'd be hard-pressed to say otherwise.
Haha, I opened this thread expecting exactly this.
Are you really going to defend AC3, ME3 and DA2?
I finished 13 and didn't feel the need to continue with 13-2. Just like with the movie (Spirits Within) but to a lesser extent, the game is Final Fantasy in name only, which I wouldn't have a problem with if it didn't replace the traditional FF all together.I always used to get excited when I heard of a new Final Fantasy game. I've not bought any of the 13 series games. To be honest I never bought X-2 either. Just feels wrong seeing a Final Fantasy game with sequels.
We got the trilogy in HD. Games can't get worse if they don't exist. Sly 4 could be the best in the series for all you know. Saying the Sly Cooper franchises deteriorated this generation is just not a fair statement at this point in time.

all of them.
ironically I was surprised by he lack of Zelda mentions considering the hate it got all gen. Anyway, my main contenders are:A lot of Zelda mentions.

That's not what the thread means though. We're talking about franchises that declined in quality not disappeared completely for the majority of the gen.
And Sly 4 looks just as good/bad as Sly 2 and 3 did. It seems there's hardly any difference between them.
All right well, I'll edit my list. If Sunzaru Games doesn't deliver, I'll reintroduce it.
Rayman, Street Fighter, Monster Hunter, Naruto, Fight Night, Batman, Killzone, Burnout.
All of those got better.
One that got worse and hasnt been mentioned much is GTA
Are you really going to defend AC3, ME3 and DA2?
lol Are they saying that "nothing" is better than what we got from those series this gen?How can Mass Effect go downhill this gen when all games are from this gen? It's a pretty new IP. Same with Dragon Age.
ME3 was excellent the whole way through bar the last 5 minutes and I've played about 15 hours of AC3 so far and it's a great game, in my opinion.
