True. After peaking in terms of sales and gameplay there was nowhere to go after Battle Network. Returning to the mainline games (Megaman 9) is what truly killed the franchise.

It was on multiple consoles unlike adventure games which were stuck on the poorly selling gc and dead Dreamcast. Meanwhile heroes was a sonic game on the ps2.
Don’t get me wrong 3d sonic games as a whole are mediocre at best and usually garbage.

Donkey Kong was doing fine for years.
Jungle Beat - 2004
DKC Returns - 2010

Retro opting not to make a third game is why there was a colossal gap after that point.

All of those games sold like shit for the brand they were associated with, and were generally "okay". None of them were as good as Donkey Kong 64, let alone Donkey Kong Country 1 or 2.

I do understand what a series killer is, you goys are just not seeing what I'm putting down. I dunno what the fuck the CV or Megamane fags are on about but CV undoubtedly was what killed RE as we knew it. The name continued, but the games were only related in name. There was never a true sequel to the original trilogy, just a bunch of remakes and side games.
There's a reason people only talk about 1-3 or everything else in separate bubbles because they are essentially entirely different series of games and Code Veronica is the big bright start of the separate games.
I think of it how there's SMT and then you have Persona, technically they are the same series (they even have more in common than the different RE games) but they are treated as different and fans of one tend to hate the other.
RE is similar, obviously you have schizophrenic weirdos who like all of them and I don't know what to tell those people, I guess they just don't care or they are all crazy.

Absolutely not. Unlike a real hack like Jason Rubin who took credit for the success of Crash Bandicoot which had nothing to do with him, Lanning masterminded the original game.
Abe's Oddysee is a totally unique and amazing work of art. He's never had another good idea, but he's no hack.
