I loved both, despite the second game's cheesiness I even prefer it.

Shadow Hearts. Still pissed at the 3rd one. It had the makings of being a really good game but they got rid of all the horror aspects for more humor. The first one had little bits of humor which was fine at the time, the second.... had humor and it was getting a bit ridiculous. The 3rd was too much humor.

And it sucks, because they could have done a really great WW2 storyline.

Both Killzone and Resistance are dead now. Sony are ruthless towards their FPS franchises!


I loved KZ:2 but it was the only good game in the series so its not a huge loss.

Resistance is fucking awesome however,

The third one is definitely not the strongest in the series, but thematically it seems connected to how the the western world (i.e., US) was perceived post-WW1. The developers allude in-game that From the New World is the last in the series during Hilda's side quest for her ultimate weapon. The Black Bat's dialogue prior to the fight indirectly states there will not be a sequel.

Every single game in the series is amazing, with Tricky, 3 and 2012 being masterpieces, and there hasnt even been a whisper of a new one in 6 years.

Castlevania just had a new game announced and it seems to be based on the classic series. It's IOS only though. So not really dead, but it might as well be.

This is the reason I would be happy if Sega went bankrupt and had to sell off all its properties. They're letting so many classic franchises go to waste it's disgusting.

That's true. I hope the announcement of Shenmue is a sign of good things to come, and I have been an active bitcher about Sega letting franchises to rot for a long, long time.

Rampage

It missed the last gen entirely and despite a blockbuster movie and the games generally being low budget, had no tie-in release. Who even has the rights anymore?


Saw a commercial for Dave and Buster's promoting a new Rampage game, but could just be reskinned World Tour for all I know.

Huh, you're not wrong -- it's an arcade cabinet but it exists and is based on the new movie versions of the monsters so not dead after all.

Is fallout really dead?

Yes.

It is no longer astute sophisticated RPG like it was in the tim cain / black isle era. The whole series, including new vegas are the apex of role playing design.

Bethesda fallout is jusy pretty much skinnning your beloved pet, fill it with cotton and chemicals and say it is your pet resurrected.
