ITT: Old great IPs that were either killed by their own publisher/developer or cease to exist today.
I'll begin.
Sonic the Hedgehog.
Sonic Adventure built the coffin.
Sonic Adventure 2 put the final nail in it.Sonic Advance 1, Advance 3, Rush and Racing/Transformed were alright tho
Sarges Heroes
Goodbye 3DO
F.E.A.R. and it's expansions were great and F.E.A.R. 2 was ok save the ghost rape and the entire last portion of the game. F.E.A.R. was just shit all around. Sad though, I really liked F.E.A.R.'s story until ghost rape.

d3 after RoS is alright
doesnt really feel like a diablo game though
>>319754917
Man Diablo 1 was the shit. Still play it from time to time. Also love the intro. Man those were the days when Blizzard tried to set a tone/atmosphere with cutscenes and not pander to 12 year old DBZ fans
>>319755147
Was just listening to the old Duke theme.
Yeah Diablo 1 was amazing, same as 2. Duke was so so good as well, a shame Duke is pretty much dead now after you know what.
After OM, Nintendo will only try spin-offs now.
Paper Mario

I liked advances 3 and rush. Advanced 3 is a personal favorite of mine. Good taste anon.
>>319755005
IIRC the devs own the rights and are still working on it.
>>319755008
What about SonicBattle?
Panzer dragoon
Mega man
F zero
Virtual on
Castlevania
Any gundam game
Tenchu
Bushido blade
Splatterhouse
Magician lord
Snk v capcom card fighters clash
Armored core
A ton I'm forgetting as well. Really wish arcade games would make a comeback
>>319754917
On a side note, I've always seen Diablo in that art as a crab. Chinhorns are legs, horns are pincers.
>>319755487
By "working on it" they're continuing to release shitty 3D games that lack the charm and even playability of the isometric titles.
>>319755104
>tfw no more top down Army Men games
'Tis a shame, really.
>>319755112
there was no ghost rape, alma was physically present and alive.
Diablo was never good. It was always a shallow time sink for autists.
>>319754917
Diablo III is alive and doing very well. Why would consider Diablo dead?
>>319754917
This game was great. I'd love to see it remade, or a sequel, with better controls
>>319756064
Diablo 3 is still shit, its Diablo rebooted for the millenial adhd crowd, not an actual Diablo game.
An ending so bad that the fourth game is basically in a different universe.
>>319756016
dont fall for it
Fallout series
Nothing after Tactics is canon
>>319756142
The loli was all I cared about.
Second game was ok. Everything after was cancer.
Once a story-based single player saga, now reduced to a F2P team-based FPS.
>>319754917
Not a franchise, but it's the biggest lost by FAR videogames ever had:
The Looking Glass Studios "school".
>>319756703
Still dont know why they did that. They could have just made it set in a new universe.
>>319756176
>basically in a different universe.
This would be the best option no mater what happened in the end.
When you have an entire universe to explore it's better to go to entire different places/time then keeping the story in the same place always.
>>319756636
fable 1 was linear britbong shit
>>319756636
I'm not convinced that Fable 2 is good at all but I like it for some reason, art style and mood are pretty nice
>>319754917
This kills the man.
>>319756934
but it wasfun
>>319756930
Well, I disagree. I think the ME universe had a lot of potential for future games to use, and they wasted it with that ending. There was plenty more they could have done within the pre-existing universe.
>>319756930
They may as well have made a new IP for that matter. If it's a separate galaxy entirely, that probably means no Reapers, which means no Mass Effect Relay, which means the name has literally nothing to do with the ME universe aside from space.
