Maybe some of you steemians never played any of this games franchises, but one thing is certain, you probably heard about them at some point in time. Some of this franchises are 20-30 years old and have released more than dozen games from their particular universes. One thing is certain, when the cash cow brings money, milk it until it dries up. This franchises are not even close to being dried up though. They are still going strong and will bring millions to their makers. I will try to show you how this games looked when they started and their modern versions. Here we go.
1. GTA
Love them or hate them, GTA games will never make you indifferent. Once you start playing you won't stop until you explore every square meter of the world. Rockstar games are really pushing the limits of gaming with GTA games. Where will we go next, who knows, but that world will be big and detailed.
2. Fallout
Postapocalyptic RPG games have never been so popular as today, Fallout started it all. Ever since Bethesda bought the rights for the game the franchise is going strong with no signs of slowing down. This is money making machine!
3. Elder Scrolls
From Arena to Skyrim, world of Elder Scrolls was never boring and with each sequel those games became more and more popular. Today the next game in the Elder Scroll series will be something huge. My favorites are Morrowind and Skyrim.
4. Deus Ex
From intrigue based first Deus Ex game with JC Denton up to the prequel world of Adam Jensen. Deus Ex franchise is going strong, gaining more popularity, and it is the real question where will the next sequels lead us. With improved graphics this games can shine the brightest.
5. Warcraft
From simple RTS beginnings to the largest and most successful MMORPG ever. Warcraft lore and backup from Blizzard is at it's highest right now. Still going strong as ever with full tanks going forward.
6. Tomb Raider
Have you ever noticed how Lara even though she is getting older somehow gets better looking over the time. Thanks to improved graphics she gets rejuvenated every year. She was even played by Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider movies. That is what you call popular!
7. Final Fantasy
One of the longest running game series in the universe. Final Fanatasy 7 took the world by the balls and never let go. Soon Final Fantasy 15 is coming out and it is one of the most anticipated games ever. 15 games came out before this one. Talking about massive.
8. Need for Speed
The most popular driving game franchise is of course Need for Speed. Nothing is even close to the popularity of this games, there were times when every year we would get one Need for Speed game. Nowadays they relaxed a bit and focused more on quality than quantity. I'm interested where will we go next with this one.
9. Doom
Castle Wolfenstein started the FPS genre, Doom cemented and reinforced the future to come. Demon killing was never this fun as it is today, just look at the screenshots and see the improvements there.
10. Call of Duty
Love them or hate the, Call of Duty games are here to stay for a long time. You can play on any battlefield, from World War 2 to the future. Next installment will be in space so there you go.
