Battlefield and COD just killed MoH unfortunately.
Thankfully tho Respawn is making a new MoH for VR hopefully releasing 2020.

Has an *insert big game* killer ever actually done it?

I thought Mozilla was just what came out of Netscape Navigator's ashes (and outlived windows explorer lol)
FIFA killed Pro Evolution Soccer
Gran Turismo is still way bigger than FM.
Reading up on it, "Mozilla" was the original project name for the Netscape Navigator. Though the text on the Wikipedia page claims that the origin is Mosaic + Godzilla, I don't remember where I saw that Mosaic Killer claim.
Anyway, IE was built from the remains of Mosaic and Mozilla from the remains of Netscape. Now IE is dead and Mozilla Firefox is still around...
What year is it .gif
Seriously, we're getting to that point in time where people don't even know what the fuck Gran Turismo is...
Definitely not the case. Uncharted still swinging harder than any tomb raider game
FH3 had just about as many players (if not more) GT Sport. So at best they're close, but by no means is GT "way bigger".
What about the mainline series? It's on PC now but I bet it's nowhere near that ball park figure.
The GamePass effect?
I think the only real one is COD/MoH. UC didn't kill TR IMO and PUBG is still huge, it just isn't dominating NA.
How can we say anything about GT's mainline popularity in 2020 when the last mainline game was in 2013? GT Sport is the only realistic comparison point.
FH3 isn't on Game Pass. Never was. That's why I cited it over FH4 which we don't have as firm of numbers for.
Nah, it just happened to be in the room when MvCI self terminated.
Horizon surpassed Need for Speed
Gran Turismo is still huge with the motorsport crowd
That's a good one. I don't think I've seen that many games kill a whole other franchise the way cod did.
I will add NBA 2K to the list for killing the live series
FM7 isn't on Gamepass either and I actually wouldn't really even put FH in the same category as GT. It's FM vs GT. FH is it's own full arcade thing.
I don't know what kind of numbers FM7 did but I doubt it's anywhere even close to GT Sport.
I agree but you have misread this thread. Also Virtua Fighter predates Tekken by a year.
Eh, I disagree. The Forza brand is what matters. That's where the value is, regardless of what game it's deriving the value from. And I think the argument is that the Forza brand means more in 2020 than GT.
Madden literally did kill NFL2K
EA made certain of it
that literally ever happened
I don't know man. Yes the story and characters for Uncharted is still great but the game play and now even the graphics... Tomb Raider is way ahead. Specially the game play. It is much much deeper with leveling system and customization and what not.
But yes it is an opinion.
Im gonna say despite all the jokes about marvel killing itself, I dont see how dbfz could be a marvel killer/replacement. It just lacks the freedom and customization marvel games had and too much of the roster played too similarly. This has most likely been remedied some im sure with dlc characters and updates since launch, but I havent played the game in quite some time to say.
Sonic was put up head to head against Mario in advertising all the time. He was definitely intended to be the Mario Killer, and was probably the most successful at it for a time. Funny enough, Donkey Kong Country was probably the Sonic Killer.
Every time I hear X-Killer I think of that Penny Arcade Comic about Killzone 1 being the Halo killer and I chuckle audibly. I wish I could find it but it is so far back in archives I don't have time to look it up.
I feel like the PSX was called he Saturn killer by Next Generation mag, might be a fuzzy memory at this point.
I believe it was CVG that on one of their covers literally asked "Baldur's Gate: Diablo Killer?". If by "digital media" you mean "post-facebook news websites" then the term definitely existed for a much longer time than that.
Critically and commercially Tomb Raider is way behind. Which is objective. Nu Tomb Raider didn't "kill" Uncharted by any measurable metric.
Personally I think that all the added "depth" in the new Tomb Raider games actually subtract from the core experience, and broadly fail at what they aim for, whereas Uncharted 2 and The Lost Legacy (Uncharted 4.5) are 10/10 games which stand up with the best of the '00s and '10s.
If you prefer the new TRs though, more power to you. They're still great games.
Bayonetta was a DMC killer I guess, at least until last year. But take that with a grain of salt as I have limited experience with both series.
The CoD4 - Modern Warfare 2 one two punch basically knocked Halo off its pedestal as the GOAT console shooter. And I hated MW2 and never owned CoD4.
Halo 3 and CoD4 went back and forth pretty good but Reach MP was disappointing to a lot of people and Modern Warfare 2 came out swinging. Once Black Ops was released it became clear CoD was the shooter to play.

I think there was a whole bunch of pretenders to the "Diablo Killer" title.
Titan Quest, Torchlight, Path of Exile, Grim Dawn... they all promised to shake up the Blizzard formula. And they've all managed to branch out the genre in different ways, usually in the gaps between Diablo releases. That being said, every time Blizz announces something new from The Sanctuary, the hype is still very real.
