Three franchises you'd fund a sequel for - three franchises you'd bury in a dank, dark pit

Rez

Resurrect:
- Burnout: I want arcade, I want destruction, I want crash mode, I want my car getting turned into a bunch of gears loosely tied together after hitting a wall at a bazillion miles per hour, and seeing it in slow motion. And no, Need for Speed (even those made by Criterion) is not the same.

How about an old school Burnout with no open world.

De Blob- it was colorful,weird and awesome.I want more.

Red Steel- Take what RS2 did and improve by removing the motion controls, more of the music, better difficulty and go all out.

Coffin
Candy Crush- because of King's actions and the fact I can get better games for free.

Angry Birds- Rovio lost it after the Star Wars tie in

I have no third

Meh... I had no issue with the open world. In fact, I found it a novel way (at the time) of integrating single player with online and adding exploration...
Not that I would not play a new Burnout without the open world, but it was a lot of fun to move around between events. Furthermore, I am more than willing to take it if that is the only way to get a new one.

Give me a standalone release of Crash Junction and I'd be happy!

Rez

Dark Cloud: that crap was amazing for its time.
Mega Man Legends: I loved this side of the franchise.
Azure Dreams: ps1 classic with a bit of a cult following.

Bury

Siren Blood Curse: did a good job of burying itself
Duck Dynasty the game: I havent seen reviews or played it, but theres too much "Why?" here for me.
Final Fantasy: I am a die hard FF fan (tattoos and all) but please don't remake 7.

Res:

Command and Conquer - Why did you have to kill the beta, EA? It was far from great, but it was a beta!

Team Silent - They got fed up with Konami, and Konami owns the SH franchise, but what is preventing the Western devs from hiring TS as consultants?

Spec Ops - Buck the trend that FPS needs good multiplayer to survive and narrative is not needed

Nothing. If I don't like it, I don't have to play it. If they make more of a game I supposedly "hate", then obviously there are people out their who do enjoy them. How immature would I be to stop games from existing just because I don't like them?

Oh c'mon. It's a hypothetical, no one is going to get hurt. Besides, this is probably the most consumer driven industry out there, which means it can over saturate and over spend very easily. That said..

1HKO:

Destiny - I'd say it's a work in progress, but there is no way it can justify a 500 mil budget.

COD - Advanced Warfare is alright. Let it end on a good note.

Resident Evil - Never liked this franchise, but even the fans are finding it difficult to defend at this point.

Microsoft, why did you have to ruin Rare?

... Eh?

Nuts and Bolts was really good. Now hear me out here. I will say it was a bad game if you're looking at it as a pure platformer. In that regard, it's mediocre at best. The levels are rather lackluster too for the most part with one exception being Nutty Acres.

I think it's being implied that Microsoft ruined Rare by not allowing them to work on their ideas and instead make Kinect games...

Modern Military shooters can go die. I don't mind some of them...Sniper Elite has a great focus on sniping which I appreciate but CoD can go die.

Can we keep SWAT and Ghost Recon (the originals)?

Becuase in my mind that's what a modern military shooter should be.

I remember playing a Ghost Recon...and I remember it being pretty solid, even on single player. I like the idea behind SWAT as well. Those two can stay though personally I think I'd be more of a Payday fan...at least until they have a crossover.

I don't think it's necessary to exclude the market for realistic games in the mainstream. Tom Clancy-license games are generally good, but I think some enthusiasts might be missing the days when the plot didn't involved some sort of sub-CoD big silly PMC based thing, and it was just about the maneuvers, like yer Ghost Recons and your Rogue Spears. Hell even Rainbow Six Vegas was a little more grounded, even if it wasn't quite up to the old ones.

To resurrect:

Crash Bandicoot by Naughty Dog, i.e. give us Crash Bandicoot 4 and CTR 2. Ever since Vivendi got greedy and went multiplatform with developers who lack Naughty Dog's design flare, the series descended into an undignified death.

Burnout. Come on Criterion, you had a great formula with Burnout 3 and Revenge. We want more of those! I guess NFS Most Wanted 2012 was kinda close, but still...

Gitaroo Man. That game was so amazing I bought it twice (it got re-released on PSP). I love me a good rhythm game, especially when it doesn't require an additional peripheral.

To kill:

Sonic. Please fucking euthanise the poor bastard! Seriously, Sonic Boom looks horrible in every single way. This is coming from a guy who has the Sonic and Knuckles icon tattooed on his right arm.

Final Fantasy. X started the whole horrible voice acting thing in the series, XII was boring, and XIII was a fucking quicktime event.

Metal Gear Solid. MGS4 was the ultimate fan service, ever. MGS5 is a cheap cash grab, especially that £30 demo Ground Zeroes. Nah, I'm done.
