Wow. Wow. Such an iconic franchise. It's a shame it dying like this. But maybe a break is what it needs. Id let ID take a shot at it. They did a great job bringing Doom back to life.
And this is why I really dislike MS. They managed to kill their best and biggest franchise, while producing nothing to replace it. Look at Nintendo, they managed to take Zelda up to new heights. They managed to expand it to the new gamer audience and now it sells 11 million in 3 days. Sony did the same with GoW. From selling 5 million lifetime to over 20 million.
Halo was doing 14 million back in the 360 days. Imagine if they actually knew how to manage studios and take care of it. But that's MS for you. Buy something good, keep fudgy it up till it dies and then go buy something else
Halo, Skype, Nokia, gears...... CoD?
