I guess since 4 was the most recent previous generation game. Really they all kind of suck in their own way except for 4. All the main, numbered entries at least.
lol Are they saying that "nothing" is better than what we got from those series this gen?
Any talk of AC, ME or DA doesn't belong in this conversion. Come on people, you're better than that.
Maybe if Sony didn't decide to release a new Sly game for the PS3 6 AND A HALF YEARS INTO THE GEN, I wouldn't claim the series has deteriorated.
A series that came out this generation can go downhill. If the first was better than the second, which was better than the third, etc.
What is this garbage I'm reading? A series doesn't deteriorate based on when the installments are released, it deteriorates based on the content of the game itself. Fact of the matter is, judging by the gameplay footage released (and there was a hefty amount shown by IGN recently), the game is shaping up to be excellent. Of course, I'm not going to judge the merits of Sly 4 until it's actually out and I've played it.
Mario has gotten worse lately, but many would argue that Galaxy 1 and 2 were great.
Rayman, Street Fighter, Monster Hunter, Naruto, Fight Night, Batman, Killzone, Burnout.
All of those got better.
But that's not the discussion that the OP is presenting with this thread. Did you just start playing games six years ago?

I'll take burnout paradise over all of them. Such a godly game.
Title says it all. What game franchises in your opinion have took a turn for the worse this gen? Off the top of my head resident evil and final fantasy for me.

You have got to be kidding me. Paradise and Crash versus the godly likes of Point of Impact, Takedown and Revenge. It's no contest - Burnout has deteriorated this gen.
Where does it say that in the OP?
In regards to your other question: I'm 25. I started gaming approximately 23 years ago.
I don't see how anyone can argue Mario. Do you not remember last gen? We got Mario Sunshine and that is about it. This gen we got 2 amazing 3D Mario games in the Galaxy series and a return to form in the 2D Marios.
It's pretty obviously what the OP meant. Otherwise it would have just been "game franchises that have gone down hill".
This conversation is about franchises that got worse as they entered this gen, not franchises that born and died on this gen.
Not really a tough concept...
There is nothing in the OP that states that a series had to be around before this gen. He simply asks what series have gotten worse this gen, so it really only takes 2 games if the second game was worse than the first.
Final Fantasy just because the plummet between FF12 and 13 is almost unreal
ding-ding-ding
Winner!
Halo as well in my opinion.
Maybe the worst, Splinter Cell. Poor Fisher.
Fuck....I forgot about star ocean.. this gen just has not been kind to jrpgs as a whole especially in reguards to the classic franchises.
Kind of funny that level 5 seems like they are about to release the jrpg I have wanted all this gen. I generally like level 5, but I would have expected it from Square abit more readily.
A return to form suggests that were actually bad 2D Marios. I like the Wii and DS games, but they can't hold a candle to Super Mario World.
I literally cannot think of a franchise that got better this gen.
Killzone 2 was better of the first, imho.
I literally cannot think of a franchise that got better this gen.
True. It's still a really mediocre franchise but 1 was just really bad for its time.

Turok
Turok Evolution to Turok reboot is a great leap. Turok on 360 was a solid 8-8.5. Gets way too much hate here.
Now from n64 to last gen the series definitely went downhill.
Say what
I literally cannot think of a franchise that got better this gen.
