Is the Garden Warfare series dead?

@Vinniebread I really hope we see more games in the Garden Warfare Franchise, lots of players still play these games, even Neighborville, so I cannot see why they cannot continue the series, or at least decide, if there was no new shooter coming, to continue updating the current ones. There has been no news whether a new shooter will come out or not, but I might make a post at some point, what I would like to see in a new shooter, based on what went well in GW2, BFN and some new content that would be cool to see.

@TheSprinter85 Yeah I hope that too, but with a bunch of people behind the team leaving the studio in a very small amount of time and lack of Plants vs. Zombies news, it kinda got me worried.

@Vinniebread I'm honestly really worried about the state of the franchise right now tbh.

Bfn flopped hard and gw1/gw2 overall had/have more players and were more successful so I doubt even if we get a new game we wont be seeing much of bfn anymore if popcap been paying attention to the sales. (I plan to soon make a post about the concept art of bfn which was drastically different from the final product and ask what people think about it).

Pvz 3 only got delayed due to the MASSIVE backlash from playtesters and fans if they knew of its existence as many don't (thank goodness it was so bad). Remember how successful pvz 1 was that even the mobile sequel of pvz 2 got its place in gaming magazines annoucing the coming sequel of pvz1? Good times.

Sadly popcap then went radio silent on us entirely abiut its rework (is it too much to ask for communication and another classic game on consoles these days that feels like a genuine sequel of pvz 1 and 2s best parts and not stock mobile game bs, consoles would also work better at portraying the 3d artstyle they want to go for).

The supposed mmo game just dissapeared off the face of the earth as it also got a lot of backlash and I cant find any news about it.

The radio silence, bad decisions as of late, fans bailing on the series, voicing their disapproval about its current path, popcap vancouver renamed Motive Vancouver and the devs have been assigned new projects lr left the series.

You know its fitting how the last pvz game before bfn was literally named heroes because it truly feels like the series has lately gone from heroes to zeros in the span of 1 game and anothers beta.

@stukapooka Yeah, I don't see why PopCap possibly isn't going to make a GW3, since with the right marketing it'd be a * money machine again.

Yeah, PvZ 3 didn't feel like a Plants vs. Zombies game at all, it felt more like a * mobile game. Even though I didn't like the Freemium concept of PvZ 2, it at least felt like a good game.

Exactly, that's why I'm concerned about Garden Warfare/the franchise in general, we've heard nothing from PopCap and I'm afraid that if they come back, they'll announce a * mobile game again that literally nobody on this planet wants.

MMO? What do you mean? The game that they held a survey about?

Lmao, yeah.

@stukapooka Yeah exactly, but that won't happen probably. A remaster of the first GW1 would be cool though.

@TheSprinter85 Yeah same, but I honestly doubt it.

@Vinniebread Would a remaster really work with gw1's older mechanics and less content though because even if you give the game better qol changes and bots we still wont have things like graveyard ops, several maps, and the rights to promotional characters like chester chomper. Since the game is also backwards compatible on newer consoles many people probably still have the game to this day and wouldn't particularly care for a remaster or would get possibly confused sbout which version to buy.

The advertising would have to be heavy if bfn is any good indication of how much the lack of hype and advertising can sink your game.
