Doubt the next one will sell as much with the business decisions Intelligent Systems is making. I don't get Intelligent Systems logic. They finally made Fire Emblem a moderately successful franchise, finally getting out of the niche tier of success, but then they pull crap by splitting the game into two and you can't just buy one you have to buy both to get both paths and if you want the third path you have to pay even more money. I'm sorry, but that's BS all of that should be in the damn game to begin with. Not to mention removing staples of the series like weapon durability. An don't even get me started on phoenix mode, they'll make a mode like that for casuals but veteran players can even get an option for weapon durability?

I know the more details I keep reading on the new one the less I care for it and the bad thing is that if it sells it will keep happening.

I got my doubts as well, but let's wait and see how it'll play out.

10 Video Game Sequels That Saved Their Franchise

Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.

Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?

Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise

SullysCigar355d ago

Thought the same - very bizarre!

RE7 though... my God, what a shift over RE6! That franchise was definitely going in the wrong direction, so RE7 was a welcome return to form.

ModsDoBetter355d ago

Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.

DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.

AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.

I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.

Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?

TheEnigma313355d ago (Edited 355d ago )

I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.

HellspawnPR1981355d ago

"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.

Hofstaderman355d ago

In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.
