For gods sake.
Why not just have Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3?
Leave it at that, done and dusted, move onto something else, more exctiting and brilliant...
Or, if your a money grabbing corporation, choose this second option, "Milk it."
Oh my god, a company that wants to make money?! The horror...
The majority of companies milk franchies and are afraid to try something new. Some of the best games out there are made by companies who try something new, and bring something original to a table full of the same milked out shit year on year. such as mirrors edge, ico, shadow of the collosus. Then what happends well...
lets take Guitar hero as my example; when it first came out, it was unique, brilliant and entertaining, and now, a few years later we have:
Guitar hero
Guitar hero 2
Guitar hero 3
Stay with me here...
Guitar hero world Tour
Guitar hero Aerosmith
Guitar hero Metallica
Guitar hero Rock the 80's
see the trend yet?
and soon we will have
Guitar hero 5
Band Hero
DJ hero
Keyboard hero
Guitar hero Smash Hits
Guitar hero Van Halen
do you understand now?
Also, lets not fail to mention the 7 or 8 portable games i can think off of the top of my head.
Oh heck, lets name them for fun.
Guitar Hero Carabiner
Guitar Hero III
Guitar Hero: On Tour
Guitar Hero III Backstage Pass
Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades
Guitar Hero World Tour
Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits
oh and lets not forget others who see the band wagon and jump on.
Such as Rock Revolution and ultimate band
see where i'm going with this yet?
Most games follow the tradition of making a game, a sequal or two which changes nothing, and then add just a few new things every instalment. like... lets see... Guitar Hero.
Am i the only person who wants to see new types of games every year? New things that have not been tried?
OK, to be fair, Guitar Hero did try something new, ie. adding the drums and microphone.
And it will try keyboard Hero and DJ Hero.
But please, please developers, move on to something new.
Rant over, thanks for you time...
