Halo has had it rough.

People saying Halo is funny cause Infinite.

Top tier FPS gameplay.

Some live service design choices do bog it down. Far from dead though.

The Queue times are insanely bad. No one is playing it let alone talking about it other than us lot on forums to pass the time while at work LOL.

 

[MayauMiao]

Duke Nukem

 

[Artistic]

That one's a dead franchise? After releasing Need for Speed Unbound?

Last good one was either Underground 2 or the first Most Wanted.

 

[Digital-Aftertaste]

Pac-man

 

[Mattyp]

Medal of Honor is an interesting one since it came back in 2020 after an 8 year hiatus, so it makes me wonder if it's in another hiatus right now.

Medal of Honour growing up on PS1 was ground breaking… wasn't a person that had a console that didn't know the title.

Battlefield should just offshoot their SP to a Medal of Honour discounted title and do BF as multi.

Am not playing it either. I've had my fill. As I said its issues mostly stem from live service part, which makes it hard to keep playing.

But its hardly dead. New game is in development that will be released alongside new system. Opposite of dead.

They probably still haven't learnt a thing from Infinite. Yet it will win GOTY on GAF. Cause it will likely be enjoyable to play.

 

[Bernardougf]

Final fantasy.

 

[Hashassin]

"yeah but look at the sales! It's a good game!"

Wipeout, Ape Escape, Medal Of Honour, Quake

 

[deriks]

For me it's not that I'm saying people don't play it.

It's just the brand felt iconic during the xbox/360 generations and I feel it has far less weight in the current public domain.

So you explained that it's not dead, even thou you said before that is...

...drunk?

 

[drganon]

Halo

Astro Bot Isn't A Celebration, It's A Graveyard

It's hard to feel excited by all these cameos when they represent long dead and abandoned series.

[kruis]

Ridge Racer and WipEout

Motor Storm too.

I'd like new releases of all three IPs,

 

[Lunarorbit]

Mass Effect
Dragon age
Pubg
Madden/fifa (brain dead)
God if war

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

How is Halo dead

It's braindead and on life support.

We're just waiting for someone brave to come pull the plug. This is a series that deserved a much better legacy than... craig.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Halo
Unreal Tournament
Quake
Twisted Metal
Deux Ex
Bioshock
FEAR
Metal Gear Solid
Star Wars Battlefront

 

[No BBC=Anger]

 

[Utamaru1706]

Time Crisis I guess?

Because I remember the game was pretty hyped in the arcades and also on consoles back in the 90's and 00's, but their last game was released like a decade ago in 2015, and seeing how arcades are declining right now, I kinda doubt the franchise would make a comeback.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Lots of franchise I consider dead.
Final Fantasy is the grandpappy of them all.
followed by
Halo
Mass Effect
Dragon Age
God of War sadly, Ragnarok will be my last.
Pokemon, Nintendo slopped this into the grave.

 

[geary]

Brothers in Arms
Half Life
Portal
ARMA

FEAR
Prince of Persia

[The Cockatrice]

They're not making more Batman games then?

There are rumors they will but I have my doubts.

 

[Steve Holt]

Think the obvious one is Halo.

Aside from that..

Medal of Honor
Dino Crisis
Perfect Dark
Wolfenstein
Twisted Metal

 

[Metnut]

Dark Souls

 

[violence]

It's not the biggest, but I miss SSX dearly.

 

[adamsapple]

Looking at the responses in this thread, I don't think some of y'all know what 'dead' means.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Halo. Guitar Hero.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Biggest one for sure

A tragedy even. What have they done to this franchise.

Might not be "dead" as per adamsapple but dormant I would say, I don't consider whatever 343 is doing as existing.

 

[daninthemix]

Keio Flying Squadron.

 

[nemiroff]

Brothers in Arms
Half Life
Portal
ARMA
Bioshock
Castlevania: Lord of Shadows
C&C
Deus Ex
FEAR

Rainbow Six

With ARMA Reforger in active early access and ARMA 4 in development it's not exactly dead.

 

[PlayStaytion]

Assassin's Creed.

 

[violence]

Remember when Nintendo hired Sega to make an F-Zero game and it was so good, Nintendo was too scared to ever make another one?

Nintendo… just hire Sega again.

 

[metareferential]

As a huge Halo nerd, I'd say Halo.

It was the game back when Bungie was still doing Bungie things.

Halo was as big as CoD in the ps360 era (sales and numbers don't lie).

Halo 3 was the biggest debut in entertainment history.

Now it's this:

 

[Hookshot]

It's FIFA. Nothing else comes close.

 

[electricmastro]

It's FIFA. Nothing else comes close.

FIFA I wasn't sure about, because although they've broken off with EA, who's to say they won't start up games with another company.

 

[Three]

people saying Halo lol.. aren't playing infinite or forge online I guess.

Guitar Hero
Ridge Racer
Final Fantasy
Medal of Honour
… battlefield.

Usual defence of all things MS. If FF is dead then Halo is deader.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

Probably Mass Effect.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Probably Mass Effect.

Sure hope it is and it stays that way. Love the original trilogy and all modern Bioware could do with is is drag it on the mud.

 

[Baemono]

Looking at the responses in this thread, I don't think some of y'all know what 'dead' means.

Tony Hawk being list sure is the most surprising one, especially today

 

[Hookshot]

FIFA I wasn't sure about, because although they've broken off with EA, who's to say they won't start up games with another company.

They absolutely could and by the 2030's most people would forget about this current split as FIFA would have the exclusive licensees to things like the World Cup rather than EA FC, but right now FIFA is dead even if a different company has a similar product continuing it,.

 

[Three]

Yeah was going to say.. Infinite sold really well (>20m) despite the number drop off in multiplayer. And the multiplayer did quite well in its initial launch period. Far from dead.

I'd say as games releases go Castlevania is pretty much dead.

Incorrect. Halo Infinite the free to play multiplayer game hit 20M players, it has never sold 20M copies or anywhere near it.

 

[Spyxos]

Tony Hawk used to be really really big.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

Sure hope it is and it stays that way. Love the original trilogy and all modern Bioware could do with is is drag it on the mud.

With EA in charge, don't you worry, we'll see more of ME, and they'll drag it through mud and everything you can imagine.

 

[Loomy]

Medal of Honour

Never seen a series revive and re-die as fast as Medal of Honor.

Warfighter was a special kind of stupid.
