ITT: games that killed a franchise
It was already over after Two Thrones
theres a reason they did the reboot
>>343613181
Except the franchise was already dead and replaced with Assassin's Creed by then.
PoP reboot was a last ditch attempt to keep it relevant in a new gen.
>>343613487
And then shitty ending happened.
this game got its ass beaten too harshly imo
it was fluid, colorful, the characters were mostly likeable and the setting was nice
in hindsight, it probably had a brighter future going for it than Asscreed ever did
>>343613181
This is not Two Thrones cover.
>>343613376
>>343613181
I though ass creed killed PoP and Ass Creed was going to be a PoP game
>>343613629
That ending is continued is this game

Not this one?
>>343614090
this. It was not a GOAT 10/10 game but at least it did not spawn 100 sequels about the illumanati and eavesdropping stealth missions

why could it not just be cozy like dawn of discovery was?
>>343614360
>four games with the same name on different platforms take place in different points in time and each have their own unique story
What were they thinking?
>>343614337
I think I would blame 3 for the beginning of the end and 4 for the nail in the coffin.
Star Wars Battlefront and BF1 are shitting on the tombstone.

Ass is Red was going to be a Splinter Cell game, actually. The entire concept of "hiding in plain sight" and social stealth was transferred directly.
Except, you rarely have to do much stealth in Assassin's Creed, but there you go.

rct3 is fine
>>343614568
if you're really that retarded to hate bc2, you should've posted bc instead, since the sequel pretty much improved every aspect of the first game's MP
now you just look like a tool
>>343614568
>I don't like a game so it killed the franchise for me
Hand yourself, not how this thread works retard
>>343614710
>caring about consoles
>when talking about bf2
you are just "pretending", aren't you?
Wait what. So they rebooted the series then made a sequel for the original pre-reboot series because the reboot didn't do so good?
>>343614280
is it gud?
>>343614748
it is.
pop wasn't dead with 2008.
>>343613181
It doesn't really killed it
Assassins Creed just become way more poplar so Ubisoft trashed PoP all together to focus on AC
>>343614627
oh yeah?
well check my 4
>>343614774
inb4 reply only focusing on "bf2"
>>343614627
I mean, I don't disagree with you, even though I like some of those games. They definitely probably all ruined a franchise in one way or another.
Go ahead and add Mass Effect 2, TORtanic and Dragon Age Inquisition (I liked DA2.)
Those killed a whole studio more than a franchise though
>>343614627
edgy tryhard
>>343614360
I actually really enjoyed the forgotten sands, the magic abilities and arkham style combat weren't the best choices but fighting huge mobs was pretty cool and the platforming was just as great as the 6th gen PoP games, especially when you learn water freezing and all the other abilities and have to use them together to get past long platforming sequences.
Did Warrior Within start the whole grimdark edgelord makeover trend that franchises got?
>>343614956
you mean mass effect 4
2 was actually good.
>>343615172
Nevermind Jak and Daxter 2 predates it by at least a year.
>>343615172
>>343615172
I think this game functioned as a warning to other devs when taking it too fucking far
it wasn't heeded enough though
>>343613181heres hoping

>>343615172
Warrior Within was the only game that actually pulled it off
>>343614360
Forgotten Sands is really fun once you get over how weird the Prince looks and jumps, the gameplay platforming wise is some of the best in the series with the whole power switching mid platform sections, it's really fluid and well designed.
>>343613181
I like this because it's a really comfy world and the gameplay is really good as well, I wish the enemies were a bit tougher because the combat system, while not perfect, showed sime potential since everything stringed together really well and made it truly feel cinematic without taking yuo ut of the game. Too bad for the ending, I would've really enjoyed another game in this style.
Too bad that the fanbase practically tore these two games apart, one for being too different and "lol not being able to die!" (wich is one of the best things about PoP08) and the othre one being confused with a generic movie tie in.

Definitely this one, it was utter shit and almost unplayable. Reboot was comfy.
>>343615294
This looked like it had potential

>>343614605
Why? Reach was the best game in the series.
>>343615657
nice copy 'n' paste
ITT: idiots.
Brainless casuals who eat up the dogshit that is Assassin's Creed and Ubisoft running everything they own into the ground killed Prince of Persia.

Ha ha what a pleb.

>>343614360
appropriate title, I played this one and can't remember a second of it
>>343613181
I actually really liked this game
>>343613181
Am I the only one who thought the ending was great?
>>343616796
It was good, too bad people overblew the whole "BUT YOU CAN'T DIE" thing
>>343616306
>outsell
the fuck is up with your reading comprehension?
Camelot said they'd make another Golden Sun if enough fans showed support. After years, they finally did, only to completely fuck it up. Dark Dawn's critical failure ensured we'd never see the end of the franchise.
We'll never get to see what happened with the vortexes.
We'll never get to fly on the Soarwing.
We'll never see the Tuaparang HQ.
We'll never explore the truth of light and dark psynergy.
We'll never get to visit the Anemos on the moon.
We'll never find out what Piers is doing and where Lemuria went.
We'll never find out Sheba's real birthplace and parents.
We'll never know where Felix went.
We'll never find out who Garet and Ivan married.
We'll never find out the real effects of Alex getting the Golden Sun, or Isaac receiving part of it through the Mars Star.
All this and so much more will forever be left to fan fiction.
>>343617069
Seriously it just resets you to a checkpoint basically saving you a loading screen.
What's the big deal?
>>343614557
I really liked bf4 desu.
The only thing that makes me mad tho are the active radars and the fact that ecm is useless
test post
>>343615172
Warrior Within's makeover wasn't that bad, sure the OST was metal but it had that Arabic touch that made it acceptable.
Call me a pleb but I loved PoP, levels felt really comfyEnding still pisses me off though
>>343619438

>>343619903
Me too anon. Exploring and bantering with the qt 3.14 was the best.
>>343619903
>No game has achieved this level of aesthetic perfection
Goddamn, really puts Okami to shame
>>343621349
Can't remember the games name but it was on ps3 with a very good art directions. It shits all over pop
>>343621721
What's it about?
>>343621756
Some angel dude can't remember but I think Lucifer was in. It had platforming and beat-em up segments
>>343614605
wasn't a fan of reach but yeah, 4 killed me, and i loved halo.
at least i still have 3 and odst
>>343621815
Oh yeah El Shaddai, that game is pretty
>>343621942
Thank you
>>343620028
The OST is not by Godsmack. They just did that theme song, that's all.
>>343619903
>Ending still pisses me off though
i loved the ending
it fit perfectly with the character of prince and made a nice arc to the game
in the end you make the same decision as the king, and throw away all you built for someone you care for, and this goes double for the prince as at start he only cares for money
>>343615640
Prince of persia was a pretty good reboot in my opinion too, but quick question since i never hear any one talk about this game, how did you feel about elika by herself or compared to farah i liked them both and thought the relationship they had with the prince/thief was cute. Also the ending seemed fine to me but it was the weird dlc they added at the end that ruined it imo, what did you not like about the ending.
>>343623376
He might be talking about the dlc ending that leaves it at a cliffhanger for a sequel.
i just watched this vid on youtube .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujs20NXQUv0
>>343624245
didnt play the dlc, but wathced on youtube
and it was fucking awful as it retconned all the prince and them as a pair development we had so far
doubt it was made by the original writer
>>343617612
I mean, it still hasn't been as long since Dark Dawn as it was between Lost Age and Dark Dawn, right?
God fucking dammit, Camelot.
>>343624442
I did the exact same thing, by the end i was sad because i knew it would forever be left at that. Also damn poor thief must feel awful, when your waifu runs away from you when you literally sacrificed the world for her.
>>343615172
Idk but it's my favorite of the series.
>best combat
>best scenery
>best prince voice
>best waifus
