What killed the DMC, Onimushira & Ninja Gaiden series ?

[Kamikaze Revy]

Nothing insane about it though. Both series declined in terms of quality and sales. Dino Crisis 2 was a step backwards from 1 and 3 was awful. Onimusha didn't decline as sharply, but it did decline bit by bit. Games in general became more about multi-player and less about singleplayer although Sony is bringing the latter back. We have Nioh now and I don't even know how Dino Crisis would work in 2017 without a big AAA budget behind it, which Capcom is trying to move away from.

We don't have Parasite Eve or Tenchu either.

Onimusha 4 was pretty damn fun for me. I loved the character variety especially Roberto's boxing technique.

We did get a new Parasite Eve, it was......not great.

Dark souls killed extreme action.

Casuals needed something that required less skill and coordination.

Didnt help that only 2 companies were capable of making these types of games and then one developed platinum and the other was a prick who sold out to Microsoft

Everything white folks tried to mimic was a shell of what the japanese were doing.

God of war
Dmc

But they found their groove with last of us, uncharted, dead space, horizon, witcher.

Dark souls didn't kill the hack and slash genre, the hack and slash genre killed itself by releasing mediocre games that didn't resonate with fans.

you took it all the way back my guy... tenchu 1 and 2 was piff. Parasite eve 1 and 2 are some of the best games I played during the psx era

 

[FruitOfTheVale]

fukk all that I want Capcom to make another Viewtiful Joe

 

[PS5 Pro]

Those were piff back in my day.

The games were original, then sequel's, etc happened and the unique game became a genre. Now it's not unique anymore and had turned into sort of a dynasty warriors

[GoldenGlove]

We got new classics now, get with the times.

Pick up Bloodborn, Nioh, Nier and eat

 

[Dre Space Age]

platinum makes those games now

don't sleep on metal gear rising and bayonetta

 

[Anti-Anime]

What happened to soki at the end?

 

[BlackXCL]

Everything went open world and the entire character action genre died out. Worst gen ever.

 

[Just like bruddas]

What fukked up dmc was the reboot and my man lookin like the head of the studio. Otherwise it was good, dmc4 was kiND of ok.

 

[Rekkapryde]

yeah, everything being open world is getting kinda corny.

There were rumors about an open world Pac-Man a few years ago for crying out loud!!!

I hate bayonetta 2 wasn't ported to ps4
Metal Rising was cool until that bullshyt end boss
Suda51 made some great third person joints..
The last dope third person game I finished was "The Evil Within"(outside The Last of Us)..
It's hard to consider Open World games true third person in nature due to the nonlinear game play but I keep seeing Horizon Dawn mentioned, gotta check this out..
