a 5 page site so here is the list

spec ops, borderlands, resident evil, call of duty, assassians creed.

i don't agree with this list at all

All_Consoles3701d ago

Borderlands only has 2.5 games, and why spec ops

iamnsuperman3701d ago (Edited 3701d ago )

To be fair Spec Ops died a long time ago and Spec Ops the line (weird to carry a franchise title when the franchise had died) is and should be a one hit wonder. Brilliant game

Gamer7773701d ago

"Top 5 Franchises Have Had Enough Sequels" Title makes no sense.

UnderpaidTurtle3701d ago

"Have had enough sequels," seems to refer to games with at least one sequel. Spec Ops didn't have any form of a sequel.

Spurg3701d ago

I remember playing spec ops games on PS1... http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

All_Consoles3701d ago (Edited 3701d ago )

Spec ops is actually a long running series. The line was not the first game, spec ops is kind of like the Tom Clancy name. Most of the games aren't related

The line was the first game in 10 years though

Goro3701d ago

Yeah, the original Spec Ops was on the PS1.

DVAcme3701d ago

Agreed on Assassin's Creed and Resident Evil, disagree on Borderlands and The Line. COD I think should keep going, but hold it back to once every two years for better story and more innovation. We don't need a yearly installment when the multiplayer stays pretty much the same and the campaign gets progressively weaker. And Activision can afford to take their time on COD, every installment is a guaranteed best-seller and Battlefield's consistently proven to not be any competition.

CaspuR3701d ago

Assassin creed just needs to change its style, im just tired of looking at a white hooded main character.

snarls2003701d ago

the same could be said about changing the style for any of the games on the list

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC217d ago (Edited 217d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga217d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics217d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend216d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long217d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons217d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor217d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens52216d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey602216d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor217d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B217d ago (Edited 217d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

Spec-Ops: The Line - A 'Typical' Shooter With Horrifying Hidden Depths

A stellar work of sobering proportions, Spec-Ops: The Line is an outstanding third-person shooter that on first glance conceals its hidden depths.

It's really a shame that the Spec Ops reboot didn't continue into a series. Obviously the story in The Line is over. But each game could have delved into the different psychological effects of war as well as exploring different takes on Heart of Darkness. In a sea of mindless military shooters it was nice to finally play a shooter that actually had something to say.

EazyC236d ago

This game was the last of a dying breed, a signifier of where shooter games (and videogames more broadly) COULD have gone if developers didn't pivot so hard into the online services, micro transaction, season pass, yada yada.

New narrative territory exploring the actual art form of gaming and storytelling within it.

Yui_Suzumiya236d ago

A brilliant depiction into what war can really do to a person and doesn't glorify it in any way.

Psychonaut85236d ago

I heard this game might be getting delisted, which is a travesty, this is one that should be preserved forever

Puty236d ago

I think the title was unfortunate - it was when Moder Warfare got big so I assumed it was yet another clone. Fortunately, because ps plus I checked out this gem of a game.
