What's a dead franchise that completely deserved to die?

I would say that they might still redeem themselves with a good fourth game, but this is EA we're talking about, so I'm just gonna say that EA can go perform morally questionable acts with small animals. It's a pity they're holding so many formerly/potentially good franchises hostage.lostclause said:
Series thats dead (alteast last i checked) and should stay that way is the Jak and Daxter series. first game was good, then it too a nose dive trying to do racing and adding run and gun and car jacking. if i wanted to do those i would play GTA, or if i wanted guns in my platformer i would play Racket and Clank. i'm torn on condeming the spryos series, the first 3 were good, everything after that was complete garbage. if insomniac would have put a little more effort to spryo there still might be a decent dragon game to play.
See, I remember playing the original on the SNES as a youngster and getting a kick from it. But then again I've seen clips from the 3D game, which was enough for me to start punching myself in the crotch to distract myself from the horror.xxhazyshadowsxx said:To think..

From now on:
PUBLIC ENEMY #1. SHOOT ON SIGHT.
Nothing against EA myself, I just think that the franchiase is trying to sell itself on more and more impratical weaponry and more and more demonised views of the russians. It's just getting silly and I dread to think what they'll put in the next one.Strategia said:

Raaargh.

I will now respond to the topic appropriately.
Looking around my room, the only representations of dead franchises I can see are a) Back to the Future, b) Dinosaurs, c) Pagan Greek Culture, d) Airplane! There are also several representations of living series that I personally feel should cease existence, but those are irrevelant to the subject of this thread. Please note that the aforementioned examples are not those I feel deserved their death; however, I am pleased that they were allowed a proper rest.
Also, in response to the person who said he/she/it (I do not wish to judge) dislikes pokemon fanboys: We hate you too, buddy. We hate you too.

I'll nominate Duke Nukem.
I fail to see the appeal in playing basically the same game again with some more lame one-liners and slightly more detailed money to put in panties...
With the abundance of first person shooters now, the game wouldn't be able to pull its weight the way it did back then. Sure, it was fun, back in the days. Now, the things that made it fun and unique aren't anymore.
Yeah, I don't mind not ever seeing a Duke Nukem Forever.

The Mario Franchise... Mario's moving into a septic tank (where Sonic the hedgehog lives) right behidnd a hospital.classyplatypus said:
Seems to me the topic might be too challenging for some...
Mario, Sonic, FF, Halo etc aren´t "ended" - this woulld mean it actually had happend, but you all know they are still alive and coming. You are asked for already dead like stone franchises and the reason why they deserved it - not the ones you wanna see dead.
I have to admid that a good example in the OP had helped a lot.
Rouge Squadron - it was a rough end after two great (atleast visually, I found them a bit frustrating) games on the previous Nintendo systems they failed with the last one for the Cube in sales and quality. The ground missions in Rouge Leader : Rebel Strike were pure pain (just like in Starfox Assault) and the arcady lifes system and trial and error mission structure began to feel very old.
After the company abandoned the almost perfect system for flight games, the series already came to an end because FACTOR 5 made LAIR and is in heavy troubles right now. Kind of sad, because their roots reach back to some great Commodore 64 games.

The Unreal franchise - that is, the story side.
Unreal 2 was so pisspoor compared to the original I don't think it deserves a second chance ¬_¬
