This a real maans geym rite hurr.

>>345387127

We're talking about games that killed other games, not games that committed suicide.
>>
>the thing that killed Halo was Halo itself

It's like one of them Greek tragedies but not really because Halo is responsible for slow as fuck gameplay, two weapon-limits and regenerating health so it can go fuck itself for all I care.

>Halo is responsible for slow as fuck gameplay, two weapon-limits and regenerating health

Counter Strike had the first two popularized before Halo, and Halo 1 had health packs.

You can put those labels on 2, which was a rushed as shit cash in on Halo 1 saving the Xbox from certain death, but CS had already done enough damage before Halo became complete shit.

Wasn't this the first or during the first era of the so-called GTA killer(s)?
>>
Nearly every MMO over the past decade was meant to be the WoW killer.
>>
How many games tries to take WoW's throne and failed? Or at least people hyped it up as such?

Off the top of my head
>SWTOR
>GW2
>Age of Conan
>Wildstar
>Aion
>Rift
>LOTRO
>EverquestNEXT
>Eve sorta

Wasn't this a top down rts or a vehicle combat game similar to twisted metal?
>>
>>345388081

EQ2, Warhammer Online, TERA to name a few more.
>>
>>345388316

I don't think TERA was trying to be a WoW killer. It's why I didn't list Vindictus either.
>>
>>345388285
hell no.

EQ2 can't really be a WoW killer because it came out at the same time.

>>345387285

Did Splinter Cell ever directly compete with Metal Gear? I've never seen any claims that Splinter Cell would end Metal Gear, in fact I don't think SC and MGS fans even interact on this board, they hang out on their own separate threads with no mention of the other.
>>
>>345387285
SC and MGS aren't really competitors
MGS is very video gamey and although there is stealth the gameplay often takes a backseat for the story
>>
>>345385907
Halo successfully killed Perfect Dark

>EQ2 can't really be a WoW killer because it came out at the same time

Please don't state misinformation as fact; they were both in heavy competition up to that point.

>>345388946

>MGS is "very video gamey"

MGS is anime.

What was Haze trying to kill besides itself?

>>345386803
Wasn't there an OXM demo disc that had trailers for Halo 2 and Brute Force together?
>>
>>345389195
Any chance of Timesplitters 4 and Battlefront 3

And it was very successful of that.

>move over masterchief....

>>345389262
Holyshit I remember that.
>>
>>345387285
Splinter Cell is more focused on stealth, while MGS is stealth with action mixed in.
>>
GTA3 was supposed to be the killer of the video game franchises, and behold video games are killed

Was it ever marketed that way or even for that audience? If anything it was going for something along the lines of what Quantic Dream does, but with more game play.
