What are the best Post-Dreamcast franchises?

[Ikagura]

Sega didn't stop making new things after they stopped producing their last console and quitted the hardware side of video game.

Yakuza is a common example but are there others you may love to talk about?

I really enjoy Valkyria Chronicles and Virtua Fighter.

They publish Total War which has some games I’ve put a lot of time into, and Persona is very popular

 

[SkunkyBeaumont]

Does the Phantasy Star Online/Universe/Portable count?
Doesn't Sega own Atlus....?

 

[MrFabulous]

Valkyria Chronicles is a great franchise, some dips in quality aside, all of the Bayonetta games came out under Sega too. I'm pretty sure they still own Atlus as well and they're doing really well. They publish a number of surprisingly good games but many of them are more known for their developers.

EDIT: I was slow on Valkyria and Atlus lol

 

[SkunkyBeaumont]

Jynx you guys.

 

[RustySK]

Puyo Puyo Tetris would be one.
That little series is like the Peanut Butter with Chocolate or Strawberry Jam with Gouda Cheese of gaming. Two flavours you wouldn't necessarily think go together, but damn do they ever!

Vaklyria Chronicles is another.
I'm personally mostly a fan of the first game rather than later two, since it just has such a unique feel to it. Yes it's anime World War and all, but it's really not as whackadoo as that may suggest. I appreciated how relatively down to earth it was.

In spite of the magical boobie lady and her laser lance.

EDIT: Shit you guys are fast!

Phantasy star as a franchise predated that and Online started on the Dreamcast.

Jynx you guys.

Which is?

We all said something about Sega owning Atlus within seconds of each other.

 

[ShadowsofCreation]

A few of those franchises didn't start after the dreamcast though. Puyo Puyo, Phantasy Star and Online both began on the Dreamcast or prior.

Only one I can think of that hasn't been listed already would be Monkey Ball, and even that is debatable since the original arcade version was built for Naomi. Does that count as Dreamcast for the sake of this?

 

[ChadBelmont]

Surprised nobody mentioned Yakuza/Like a Dragon yet.

 

[Somnia]

Assuming this means franchises that they STARTED post-Dreamcast right?

Monkey Ball is def a fav! If Condemned counts I adore both of them. Conduit (the FPS games on Wii) also rocks and it is a shame we will likely never get the third game. The Hatsune Miku games were a big reason I got into rhythm games beyond just Rockband/Parappa and I actually just started replaying Diva F 2nd to go for the platinum on my Vita.

Some of my fav one-off titles that might not count as franchises are Gun Valkyrie, a highly underrated third person action platformer on Xbox, and Billy Hatcher.

Yes.

Shenmue and jet set radio hmmm skies of arcadia..
Edit I think I miss understood what you asked .sorry.

Yakuza/Like a Dragon has definitely become my second favorite franchise lately. The games are charming as hell and beating down them thugs is always a blast. Beat-em-up is one of my favorite genres. I love the martial arts aspect a lot.

Easily Valkyria Chronicles and Shining.

 

[Sayo]

Well modern Sega is Sega in name only so I have a hard time even classifying these franchises as true Sega franchises, but I'll play along and say that Super Monkey Ball is their best post DC output.

 

[Auriiya]

Black lagoon heard it may be getting new entry in the series or reboot
