Have we had a generation-defining franchise this gen?
- Thread starter Fiery Phoenix
- Start date
Not super huge but probably enough to let some of the studios enough time to release one more game on the platform.
This generation was all about battle royale, so yeah, Fortnite.
Soulsborne might count as well, but I see them more as a decade defining franchise considering Demon Souls, and Dark Souls 1 and 2 where originally previous gen games.

Gonna agree with a bunch of people here. I feel like Destiny popularized the "MMO-lite" genre. MMO's have generally been relegated to PC and have a different kind of depth. Destiny made that style of game accessible to the console audience.
And Fortnite obviously.
What's with the Death Stranding posts though? Lol.

Fornite for the f2p success and Destiny for the big GAAS moment.
EDIT: And very difficult to find defining AAA franchise when having two great episodes of a single player AAA games during the same generation is so difficult to do.
On indie side we can use Ori maybe.

It's Fortnite.
The 'column inches' generated for a loading screen earlier this year alone puts it in that category.

Every console who had a Knack, sold 100 million units. It's Science.
I think Destiny easily has the biggest compilation of design trends that have seeped into everything else.
Padded quest objectives, loot, shared-world, "hold-to-press-a-button" schemes and stifled content with expansions being sold at slightly less than reasonable prices.

If you're lucid enough to recognize Warframe is undervalued, then obviously it doesn't qualify as a generation defining franchise.
I think we share the same point that it's a generation defining game
oh, right haha sorry for the misunderstood.
i believe it perfected the formula and combat and came right at the beginning of the gen. was a great comeback after Dark Souls 2.
