There is something uniquely frustrating about loving a video game series that seems to have been forgotten. The games may still have devoted fans, memorable characters, incredible soundtracks, or mechanics that nobody quite managed to recreate, yet years can pass without another proper entry. Sometimes a franchise simply faded away, while others were left behind after one disappointing release or a change in what publishers wanted to make. Reddit recently asked gamers which supposedly dead franchises they still miss, and the answers covered some seriously beloved names. These are fifteen series people who clearly are not ready to let go, even if the companies behind them seem perfectly happy to move on.cnx.cmd.push(function() {cnx({playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530",}).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796");});IMDbTimesplittersTimesplitters earned a particularly passionate response from players who remember its split screen multiplayer, bizarre characters, and wonderfully chaotic sense of humor, with one commenter calling the second game their “Halo before Halo 3.”IMDbGolden SunThe Golden Sun games left a lasting impression with their clever Djinn system, detailed world, and ambitious Game Boy Advance adventures, while fans still dream about getting another game worthy of the original two.IMDbBurnoutFew racing franchises captured reckless driving quite like Burnout, and Redditors clearly still miss its combination of speed, crashes, memorable soundtracks, and wonderfully aggressive arcade racing.IMDbSSXThe SSX series made snowboarding feel completely ridiculous in the best possible way, with SSX Tricky and SSX 3 still remembered fondly by players who would happily return to those mountains.IMDbBanjo KazooieThe colorful Rare platformer remains a huge source of nostalgia, and fans in the thread were quick to say they would gladly take a modern remaster just to spend some more time with the characters.IMDbSplinter CellSam Fisher’s stealth adventures built a remarkably loyal following, with fans still frustrated that Ubisoft has allowed one of its strongest stealth franchises to sit dormant for so long.IMDbTitanfallTitanfall 2 in particular still inspires plenty of affection thanks to its excellent campaign and fast multiplayer, making the lack of a third main entry especially painful for players who never stopped loving the formula.IMDbSly CooperThe Sly Cooper series combined platforming, stealth, and a stylish animated world that fans still remember vividly, with Redditors wondering why Sony has not given the raccoon thief another proper adventure.IMDbJak and DaxterFor many players, Jak and Daxter was a defining childhood series, and the thread includes fans who can still remember the individual games decades later while wondering why the story was never properly continued.IMDBDeus ExThe Deus Ex series built its reputation around player choice, immersive storytelling, and cyberpunk world building, making its long absence particularly frustrating for fans who still see enormous potential in the franchise.IMDbChronoThe Chrono series may have only produced a handful of major games, but Chrono Trigger left such a massive impression that fans are still asking for another adventure worthy of that legacy.IMDbPrototypeThe Prototype games gave players an unusually destructive open world filled with superpowers, shapeshifting, and complete freedom to cause chaos, and fans still bring the series up whenever the conversation turns to franchises that deserve another chance.IMDbF ZeroNintendo’s futuristic racing series has been absent from the spotlight for years, leaving fans with plenty of memories of its brutally fast tracks and Captain Falcon while they continue waiting for another proper entry.IMDbDino CrisisCapcom’s dinosaur survival horror series has developed an almost mythical reputation among fans, especially those who remember the original games and cannot understand why the company has never brought Regina and the dinosaurs back.The post People Share Their Favorite ‘Dead’ Video Game Franchise appeared first on Den of Geek.
