I wouldn't say that Halo, MGS, SC, and RE will be concluded considering all the spinoff games that'll arrive.

Also, the best ones of them all:

System Shock
Baldur's Gate
Icewind Dale

Much to my sadness, MediEvil.

Plus any chances of a good Sonic game are dead.

Damn you SEGA! I miss good Sonic games. Sonic Adventures was the last one I'd call a "good" game.

Splinter Cell will probably be ended after Conviction.

[spoiler]They've already basically ended his career as a Special Operative, so I doubt there can be much story after this one.[/spoiler]

eternal darkness. No why is this death I dunno.

There is two Kingdom Hearts games coming out and strong rumours of a KHII sequal.

solidfox - February 17, 2008 06:05 AM (GMT)
Well thats what I was talking about. Rumored that this shall be the last, all of which coming out soon.

Ghost Sniper - February 17, 2008 09:15 AM (GMT)
Halo franchise isn't technically dead. But for Master Chief's story, it ended with Halo 3.

OcelotSnake - February 17, 2008 12:20 PM (GMT)
Oddworld series.

I never played the Xbox games but I loved the 2D platforming in Abe's Odyssey and Abe's Exodus and it seems that my hope for a return to form on one of the next gen consoles (coughPS3pleasecough) is never going to materialise.

Mjr.Snake - February 17, 2008 12:34 PM (GMT)
BigK - Why do you think that Resident Evil will be concluded ?

I wouldn't say so. Esp. after the cliffhanger ending.

Final Fantasy needs to end, though.

sadistic_greyfox - February 18, 2008 12:14 AM (GMT)
The thing about Final Fantasy though is the games rarely follow the same story as the previous with the exception of FF7 and 10. It will probably never end, in a sense FF is the James Bond of gaming.

Crash Bandicoot. ;_;
As far as I'm concerned that series died with the Playstation 1.

Blasphemy!

As stated above, FF RARELY follows the same plot, so there is no reason to end it. Always a new RPG with a new story. Only bad thing for FF recently is the new composer shift...which let down XII a tad...but that series is a massive juggernaut, second to....mario...?

BigK - Why do you think that Resident Evil will be concluded ?

It's practically over since Resident Evil 0 came out, or rather that gun game for the Wii - RE4 was completely different, no zombies, no Umbrella... and you can't have a RE game without those, so I perfer to think of RE4 and RE5 as spinoffs. Superior Spinoffs. But it's a shame that so many questions were never answered and so many character's fates weren't revealed.

And, BTW, Mortal Kombat has been a dead franchise for a while. For some, it died back in 1995 with MK3, some for MK4. It died for me after Deadly Alliance, because the two after that sucked horribly.

solidfox - February 21, 2008 06:46 AM (GMT)
Hell yeah, MK died after MK 2 for me...they totally ruined it when Midway picked it up...and I was pissed cause they killed Cage too... <_<

But still, I got the most recent one for the Wii just to play it with my bro for old times sake.
