I take Dead Space for 300

Maybe if it didn't have the always online shit, it would be

It's Silent Hill, but this works too

they stopped making it. which is fine. better that than yearly frachise

>online became priority
>no longer focused on stealth making stealth easier
>direction of games changed for the worse
>half finished
>owned by pachishit company who wont let it go
>held back by ps3/360 hardware making everything feel empty
>open world and nothing to do in it
>missions are dumb
>the tech demo was somehow better than the finished product
im still fucking mad

When the quality of life improvements in the series, didnt cover for the time spent in useless dialogue.

Because Miyamoto is a hack fraud

If it gets a souless port after years of nothing, does it still count as dead?
If so then it died because of outdated graphics among other minor reasons.
Also company in charge is shitty

It kept getting dumbed down by the 5th game it will be a walking sim with junk collecting sidequests

Pikmin?
As a mother fan, I send my condolences

It just abruptly stopped with no explanation

Because the new blood after Yamauchi's departure pretty much ruined everything

pretty obvious hes talking about Paper Mario

Miyamoto is the only reason Pikmin 3 happened, its a pet project for him

They wanted to make it more accessible for a wider audience.
I wonder how many games this covers.

Pokemon at this year's E3. They've been wearing me down since XY but I held the hope post game will return once they moved to a system that didn't shit itself in battle.

Same for me but it's a "evil" Pikmin clone

Everything after Snake Eater is complete garbage, TPP was just the nail in the coffin

when we lost move speed modifiers, like acrobatics and athletics

Overlord?

resident evil

Silent Hill without a question.

RE resurrected, though

because an extremely shitty entry killed the franchise

what's its name, Yea Forums?

Masuda and Ohmori wanted to charge more for less and less content.

Not made by Suckerpunch so at least it’s noncanon
3 is the definitive ending

no it didn’t
instead of innovating it became another cookie cutter horror game

The community ended up killing it. Along with marketing bringing in those who thought it was about being hard for the sake of it instead of providing a decent challenge and a wonderful UK l world to explore as long as you pay attention.

7 and Remake 2 are good survival horror games though

BIngo and the Codemasters decided to not make any type of game that isn't a racing ever.
While also keeping hostage the few IPs not-racing it has.

I think Final Fantasy ended with X personally. XI was great fun, and XII is somewhat excusable even though I really didn't like it at all. I even enjoyed playing XIII, but that was when shit changed in an inexcusable way during and after that. I don't see Final Fantasy ever being good again unless there is a dramatic paradigm shift that's likely never to happen.

Company started focusing on Sonic and the team who made it started making Yakuza games or left, has no interest in the pitches that get sent.
They love cock teasing me with merch and cameos though.

Miyamoto

I can't understand people claiming that 7 is actually a Resident Evil.

Zestiria and Berseria were both trash though

Berseria had a great cast and decent sotry but the gameplay was ass.

They should have just fucking finished it all in 2008 or 2010 or something.

Disney fucked it over.

digimon is gaining popularity lately because of pokemons huge fuck ups

lmao keep spouting whatever Yea Forums says

greed

I mean, I cant think of any other franchise that fits the bill

Weren't you complaining about no inovation you fucking retard ?

It did but its paying a nice visit from hell

Attached: ich will.png (530x384, 185K)

its not dead but crippled
dynasty warrios 9 was so horrible

Sweeney didn't want to spend any of his Fortnite money to keep it alive

2013

No one likes vehicular combat. Also they fucked up the reboot by focusing on 3 characters and their cults.

RIP Twisted Metal

Explain how it’s not like Resident Evil
>inb4 muh camera
The first person camera is far better than fixed camera angles

because V is kill and Persona is leagues ahead in popularity

Attached: 1555265641834.jpg (1280x720, 69K)

Because the company shat out soulless God of War clones before going full pachinko.

I like how the day Pokemon died has always getting stretched since the 3rd gen. How long until Yea Forums is saying S&S was the last good Pokeman game?

>Custom Robo died because Yamauchi was the only one who gave enough of a fuck to give it's dev a chance
>Nu-tendo let it rot and die completely unceremoniously
>We could've gotten more console based Pokemon spin offs RPGs
>TPCi and Game Freak decided to put a stop to that
I'm betting Game Freak didn't want someone else making a better Pokemon game than their dumb asses but holy fuck, that entire read was infuriating.

man custom robo was based
i remember being like 11 and googling custom robo 2 and being dissapointed

Because faggot ass nips and weebs NEED waifu shit in their games I guess and they decided to bank on Fire Emblem..

Attached: large.jpg (1280x720, 381K)

fire emblem didn't kill Advance wars, Days of Ruin did

>but its the best game in the franchise

even if that subjective taste is true, you can't argue its awful sales numbers, prehaps making a darker stand alone title wasn't a good idea.

EA cucked Respawn

I think it was the melodramatic soap opera tier story and characters in DoR that made it shit.

some might say that made it better and more serious, but it honestly feel like a smaller scale version of DmC vs DMC, did Advance Wars really need to be taken in a more serious and dramatic tone?

the creator got outted as a 'pedo' by a 10 year old tweet.

Attached: just another haha image this time with reggie.png (418x561, 233K)

>its awful sales numbers
80k in the states alone ended up being more than most of the other game's global sales

shitty level design and an atrocious story that makes no sense, which would go on to permate the rest of the games that followed. i hate this fucking game with a passion

Goddamn it I fucking hate shitty ass zoomer Spongefag memes.

The dex got culled

Not officially dead but with Tsunku having throat cancer the outlook is not good.

Basically every fucking franchise EA touched is fucking dead to me. i used to play everything they put out back in the day but everything turned to shit pretty quickly. they had such a good track but because of greed and incompetence they killed everything.

also rockstar, their games are bigger than ever but gta5 and rdr2 basically killed every bit of interest i had for their games.

A Crack in Time was great though

I..I don’t know :(

Not technically speaking dead yet, but the first part bombed horribly, and while the studio is commited to finish it, they have to make money first, and will likely resort to fucking mobile phone development for now. It also means that IF we ever get the remaining two parts (which are partially finished), they will likely cut a lot of corners.

The reasons are two:
Firstly, virtually NO promotion and number of poor decision (in naming and communication). Which isn't that surprising given that it is an indie title by people who are far more skilled at making games than promoting them, but still.

Second reason is more sinister. The game got executed by the gaming press, and pretty much COMPLETELY due to absurd levels of incompetence and lack of any honesty, or frankly even interest in their jobs. The reviews were extremely negative due to alleged difficulty (which is actually nowhere near what they claim) and due to FUCKING IDIOTIC preconceptions about what narrative-focused games are supposed to be like.
To put it short: the game was killed because it was too much of a game, and the journost expected a fucking walking sim. The fact that you have to heavily engage with it was the crux of majority of the criticisms. The game does not play itself, and that is not what the shitstains want from a story-focus experience.

With this franchise died pretty much any respect for the industry I had left. Fuck this fucking industry. It's FUNDAMENTALLY rotten.

Didn’t they announce Pikmin 4 like 17 years ago?

bugged to hell, rushed, fell for the giant open world meme

Prime 4 might redeem the series if it ever comes out

Breath of the Wild ruined Zelda.

"Not enough support"

For Christ sake, this series needs to die already. All these garbage new releases over the decade have proved that no one can top 1.13.

Got bought out by EA

A forgotten genre defining series, spearheaded by a mostly incompetent weirdo, that was deemed unfit for today's more streamlined and generic industry of FPS/TPS/RPG obligations.

Star Fox Zero

Fuck you Miyamoto for shoehorning your shitty ass controls into this game.

Fuck it I'm responding to my own post with Paper Mario

double fuck you to Miyamoto

>Mario
It didn't

>MOTHER
Simply Nintendo not giving a shit, at this point i wouldnt be surprised if there was an abandoned MOTHER Wii project

Dead genre. Or in the process of being brought back and looking awful (Stronghold Warlords) unknown (Homeworld 3) or going to be microtransaction filled shit (MMO's in general).

Poor sales and complex motives.

Itoi said himself that he doesnt want to make anymore after 3, that was essentially the end of it

That's not it at all. Itoi was just done with the franchise.

GODDAMN LEAFS

I will never understand this.

>Pokemon
Black and White 2 were the last good games. Competitive is pretty alright still but SwSh will either gut it completely or make it more interesting with dynamax and the limited dex, but based on the previous games they're probably gonna bring back all the meta shit so compfags won't get pissed. I'm gonna be sad if pic related doesn't come back though, and I pity the people who liked unprofitable pokemon like maractus. I'm not buying SwSh though, piratechads rise up

Consoles couldn't keep up with the huge maps and gameplay, so they stopped after the third game
yup, just three games and that's it

Toriyama

Miyamoto: "It looks just like the last one. Focus more on gameplay innovations rather than story."
Tanabe: "You're right Miyamoto-san, I was just thinking about how I hated traditional staples like leveling up a character. Also lemme just axe this story real quick."
Nobody is innocent.

It did everything it needed to do and concluded in a satisfying way. It died as soulfully as it was born. Anything made after the third game is just a cheap imitation.
