Time is the gaming industry’s biggest enemy as it is its biggest asset. Developers can flourish under the constant evolution of new technology and ideas, or they can fail to do so (look no further than Duke Nukem Forever). We’ve seen franchises such as Mario, Zelda and Metal Gear Solid continually produce innovative, yet brilliant titles generation after generation – here’s a look at some of the franchises that haven’t aged so well.

simply sonic's abilities are far too great for sega to translate in 3d if it was sony we would have seen a different story
but i hope under the new sonic team leader to succeed he ( the leader ) also said it him self that they are giving sonic all the care
new modern sonic in 2014 plus cashing from some lame games like the olympics one that would a big hope for us sonic fans
Modern Warfare 3 wasn't great, but considering the whole development team left, I've forgiven the lackluster effort, and there is still fun to be had with the game.
Crash hasn't been good for a while, I don't even remember the last Crash game, so that one I'll agree with.
I've never actually played a Final Fantasy game, so I couldn't really say much on if they have gone downhill.
I thought Sonic Colors and Sonic Generation were FANTASTIC, probably the best Sonic games since Sonic Adventure, why they would bring up Sonic At The Olympics is beyond me. It'd be like saying Mario isn't what he used to be because he's a ref in a bad Nintendo Sports game.
Fable is a great series, I liked the second one best of all, but the third was okay, I enjoyed it for what it was, but I wish they didn't limit it and take out some of the good parts that made Fable 2 the great game that it was. Hopefully Fable 4 on the Xbox 720 can restore that franchise.
Down vote me now please.
Because you feel the need to be called out. So be it.
I don't care about mine,so feel free to do the same.
1 bubble will always be enough.
Final Fantasy VII was an important game and plenty of people weren't even into gaming when it arrived!
That's why I take most opinions on gaming with a molecule of salt, because many people just got into gaming this "gen" and like to entertain the fact that they have been into it longer than they have been a live!
seriously COD 4 and onwards are pretty much rail shooters. And at the rik of sounding like a complete fanboy Spyro and Crash should have stayed with Playstation its ironic seeing as how they are on multiple systems there no where near as relevant and popular as they were when they were on PSX
But I agree Spyro 1 was the best.
I don't agree that Crash was ever the most well known game character ever, as stated in the article. If anything he was forth after Mario, Sonic and Lara.
I think the problem with COD is that its exactly what it was. Its pretty much the same game. Hopefully Blops 2 will implemented some good changes.
End of discussion.
I just hope they give it to good developers that actually listen to the community and stood by their decisions this time, apparently the downfall of Zipper was trying to please everyone.
Sony wanted a new SOCOM and sugested a more modern casual-friendly experience while fans demanded a classic tactical hardcore TPS, Zipper had to draw a line and tell Sony what they thought was possible, be realistic with the fanbase expectations, but they failed to do so and SOCOM 4 turned out a mess.
Of course not...
Resident Evil - definately.
Splinter Cell. Meh, don't mind changes, the game is still fun.
Okay, maybe not. But I still hold hope that one day...
NES: FFI, FFII, and FFIII
SNES:FFIV, FFV, and FFVI
PS1: FFVII, FFVIII, and FFIX
PS2: FFX, FFX-2, FFXII, FFXI(PC only)
360/PS3: FFXIII, FFXIII-2, FFXIV(PC/PS3), VersusXIII(PS3 only) and XIII-3.
IMO Fabula nova crystalis is this GEn's 3 main Final fantasies. However next GEn Id rather them GO back to having no sequels just keep it going.
for example Crash Bandicoot,Devil May Cry,Final Fantasy,GTA(GTA4 Sucked).......,
and soon to be Metal gear Solid
GTA is another one. It existed before the PS brand was even conceived.
Can't really understand including Fable in this list because out of just 3 games the second one was clearly the best. Claiming "it's not what it used to be" is kind of misleading.
From Choas Theory to Conviction... (shudders)
And no Micheal Ironside? oh the pain...
the PS1 one is still the best one in the series, and they will prolly never make another one as good as it.
Parasite Eve 2: Resident Evil with magic.
Parasite Eve 3: Herp with a side of derp and a large helping of shit.
