Halo.

Yes, Halo is alive, and I predict a bright future for it and all its fans and dark, dark and shameful times for all its doubters and critics.

 

[electricmastro]

Burnout

Many big racing franchises seem to have died out actually, except for Mario Kart, Need for Speed, and Gran Turismo.

Considering sales? Guitar hero. Shit produced more plastic than Dow and ExxonMobil in a brief period of the 2000's

Considering importance for the industry?
Definitely Ultima.
Richard Garriot, along with other small series, defined what RPG on a computer is to a point that even Zelda copied it. Then the series laid the groundwork on modern W/CRPG (Ultima 7/8).
And then after almost two decades doing the above... Garriott invented the MMORPG.

And after all of this... "EA Games Challenge everything bzium!" And the series went to the chopping block.

Given how the genre resurged with Kickstarter and Larian, it's impressive that not a single soul in EA Corporate had the idea to outsource it to Larian.

People posting things like Final Fantasy, Halo, The Last of Us etc are being dumb. You not liking the newest games in the franchise doesn't make it dead.

Forza Motorsport looks to quite possibly being done. Microsoft just laid off over half the studio and has the remaining members just keeping current servers running and support for other studios.

 

[BigLee74]

Edge lords are out with their Halo comments!

Unreal Tournament is the correct answer. Damn you Fortnite!

 

[Plies]

Halo is dead.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Resistance dying is so obvious to me as a dead franchise, we see shooters go on and on, apex legends, other shooters have resistance in their DNA.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

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.

Halo Infinite sold 20 million copies+? Since when?

Edit: I'm guessing you meant player numbers, because it did not sell 20 million copies.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Ratchet and Clank series - I know it's not dead but it's been so long that it might as well be unfortunately.

Starcraft series - About time we get a new Starcraft

Warhammer Dawn of War series - Really need a part 4 or another huge RTS

Prototype series

Dishonored series

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Ratchet and Clank series - I know it's not dead but it's been so long that it might as well be unfortunately.

It's….. been four years.

 

[diffusionx]

Really hard to overstate how big RTS games were, then it all just evaporated. Maybe it is still big in South Korea, I don't know. But MOBA ate it up and now MOBA is just this weird thing in its own corner of the internet. Maybe RTS will come back someday.

Spoiler

it won't
