Any new games? New IPs don't exist anymore...Im tired of it.

What colonizing animals we are. Nothing but sequels in the games industry. RE5, KZ2, GTA4, MADDEN 25, ......damnit.

When can there be a new idea. There are only two new IP's i can think of right now. Heavy Rain is one (sort of), and I Am Alive from E3 2008.

Dead Space, Last Remnant, Bioshock, Little Big Planet, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Mirror's Edge, Lost Odysee, Fracture, Too Human, Infinite Undiscovery, Lost Planet, Overlord, Dead Rising, Kayne & Lynch, Army of Two.

All of them examples of new IPs that have been created THIS generation.

And don't forget games like Resistence, Uncharted, Rock Band... other "this gen" IPs that are already successful enough to see sequels.

To say that there aren't original IPs around is rather blind.

There are tons of new IPs around, they just never get as much attention as the huge franchised games, so you don't hear about them as much.

Personally, most of the games I'm looking forward to are new IPs...

Well to be fair we ARE in that 4-6 month period where there will be very little info released about the new games appearing for next holiday season. Nothing really new will be revealed regarding new games till the month around E3. All we are gonna see is just tidbits of information.

Don't worry, there WILL be new IPs, but you actually have to go out and buy them - or else developers and publishers will think gamers care about nothing but sequels, and that what we'll get.

Also don't forget about EA's new "Dante's Inferno", its being developed by the studio behind Dead Space, so it may actually be something more than a God of War clone. I guess we'll see.

If you're not seeing new IP's then frankly it's your own fault. There's hardly a shortage of them, though admittedly they do tend to get overshadowed by the big name sequels. BUt this year saw plenty of new big IPs. No More Heroes, Mirror's Edge, Left For Dead, Dead Space, LBP, and plenty of others that have already been mentioned.

2009 looks like a fine start as well. Keep in mind, new IP's typically don't get years of hype like RE5 since there's nothing to build it on so there will be many to come that just haven't been announced. For the Wii alone there will be Little Kings Story, Deadly Creatures, Mad World, and the Conduit and that's all just in Q1.

If someone had said "Hey guys, list all the new IPs this gen", the thread would have died a lonely death. But when it's all about proving somebody wrong, people collaborate towards the common goal of laying the smackdown on someone in a forum. You have to love human nature.

HiResDes...I think I asked you this a while back but is your sig pic from The Watchmen?darkSIDEechoes

Yeah.

PrimordialMeme

Coming from a guy who pissed all over Mirrors Edge, your complaints come off as pretty much ridiculous.

People like you talk often of innovation but when a game comes out that you can't wrap your head around, you dismiss it outright.

As for original IP's, they are plentiful. Dead Space is amazning, LBP is gold, Uncharted was a solid upstart, Left 4 Dead is polished and incredibly well made, No More Heroes was fun and quirky, ...

What was your point again?

The thing with new IPs this gen is that they are over-shadowed by sequels. Yes there are a lot if new IPs but they don't get that much attention/hype than sequels until it's released and usually it fails on sales.

No one really talked about Resistance, Uncharted, and Assassin's Creed until it came out. The only new IP I could think that got very hyped is LBP. For upcoming new IPs, only White Knight Chronicles and Heavy Rain are getting hyped. Today, gamers want to see/play the new IP first before they talk about it.

what the original poster (OP?) probably meant was that there were no new IPs that he wanted to play...or he was just a bit jaded or something. anyway, you guys scared him off. as proven, there are new game titles this generation, and they seem to be coming out quicker than the classic gaming franchises..

sequels to games of last generation (or previous generations) are taking/have taken a long time to make this generation (SF4, RE5, TKN6, FFXIII, KZII, MGS4, plus any new zelda/mario game). this is in contrast to sequels from games from this generation, like GOW2 and resistance 2.

sequels to classic franchise games are coming at a price though. heavy investment, top-tier talent and having to creates lots of 'cash-cows'. final fantasy is no longer a game, its a media franchise; a banner under which SE can make lots of investment profit.

miyamoto said in an interview recently that zelda takes a long time to make and presumably a lot of that time is spent thinking of new ideas. while wii music (new IP) was made relatively quickly - and probably at less expense too. so perhaps we are seeing new franchise-building as the technology offers more possibilities and the designers move on or tackle a different type of game and a different audience.

world of goo! braid! LBP! (he's probably just jaded or bored)
