Best video game franchise in your opinion

..you...forgot...Grand...Theft..Auto..

He did indeed, but should we expect anything less from a Nintendo fanboy?

that...borders on heresy

Resident Evil... even though the only one that I really think is worth it so far is 4

Elder Scrolls is pretty damn good...

Agreed on both counts.

Also, what about Mortal Combat? These kids today...

where is Halo?

Halo is not a franchise, it is a series.



I vote Metroid.

Id still vote Halo if it was there. Btw, Halo Wars is an rts, and there making a Halo movie. Does that not make it a franchise?

plus the books, magazines, and cartoons.

No. A franchise brings something new to the world of gaming, and makes its mark in that way.

Halo is pretty, but not innovative in any way.

Mario revitalized the US gaming industry, Sonic was the flagship 16-bit character that put Sega on the map, Metroid was the first major non-linear game hit (and arguably the first game to have a female protagonist), GTA brought ultra-violence to the mainstream, Pokemon (though it is evil) brought an original battle system and collection system.

What did Halo give us? ilovebees.com.

Big Whoop.

Actually Halo made huge leaps in FPS gameplay, and is the main reason why we have so many damn FPS's around today. So DERE!

Like what?

• Melee attacks? Medal of Honor had those first
• Vehicles? Planetfall.
• Dual wielding? Goldeneye 007
• Four-player multiplayer? Again, Goldeneye 007
• Internet Multiplayer? Counter-Strike, UT.

The only thing it's got is sharp graphics and a nice musical score.

Doom is on the cusp of being a franchise, Half-Life is a franchise, Halo is a series.

[static_ice]

but it grouped all those things together!

[cawck mongler]

Almost all of those are cheap japanese imports. What about the classic ones like Civilisation, sim city and Tycoon or the Truly innovative ones like Total War.
Or at least an "other" option

For me it definatly has to be Total War, the gameplay is unmached

Total War isn't innovative, they stole the concept from a really old game and didn't improve or change much other then the graphics and the setting. I forget what the games called and it wasn't really popular so you probably wouldn't be able to find it, but I played it at my friends house a few times. Civilisations a good series, but they screwed up on the latest one, they did the graphics in 3d so you need a supercomputer to play it. Alpha Centauri may have just been a spin off of civ 2, but its by far better then any civ game.

Dude, thats not what a franchise is. A franchise is a series that has spin off series or games, for example, civ 1, civ 2 etc. are a series, and since there's games like Alpha Centauri that spun off from it, its a franchise.

Halo has that rts coming out and maybe a movie, therefore its a franchise.

[vtmarik]

POkemon is not evil, GTA is more bad then good. It brought more evil.

When I say evil, I mean it like Disney Evil, not Pol Pot evil.

Happy evil, not death evil.

actually, halo had extremely smart AI. hiding behind a rock wouldn't keep you safe for longer than a few seconds. enemies actually know what grenades do (cough MoH cough cough), etc.
