Sony: We're more comitted to creating new IP's than others

I forgot about Demon Souls which has an 89 metascore. Sony clearly outclassed the competition last generation.

what a great list of games u have there hahaha in 7 years is that all?

Xenogears. Xenosaga. Xenoblade.

Three different games, three different IPs, all sharing the same metaphysical theme, all made by this same developer.

This is going to be a new IP too. You can be skeptical all you want, I don't much expect anything from your opinion especially when it comes to non PlayStation stuff, and it won't change the facts.

Isn't this just stating the obvious?

xbox is just halogearsforza. Nintendo has a hard on for a plummer and an androgynous Elf boy.

Says alot about the fanbases for each system tbh.

That is like saying each numbered Final Fantasy is a new IP. Agree to disagree.

No, it's not.

It's like saying that Bioshock and System Shock are different IPs, which they are. Sharing the same meta themes and developer doesn't make them the same IP.

See, I'll give you this- X is still a working title. If it is explicitly announced as a sequel to Xenoblade (which it might be, now that Nintendo owns Monolith, they might make them work on a sequel to a highly popular title), then sure, I'll concede it's not a new IP. However, until then, there is zero reason not to consider it a new IP.

No, thats just new ips that I thought of off the top of my head. Im sure theres more. u mad?

Not true. Sony had the most new IPs last gen. Even pushed them late: Beyond, TLoU, and Puppeteer.

@mems_1224:

You mean like Too Human scoring a 5.5, Ninety Nine Nights scoring a 5.9 and Blue Dragon scoring a 6 on gamespot? Even that generic piece of shit Crackdown couldn't even score an 8.

Cool, now if only they made the best new IPs.

Cool, and I personally appreciate that.

I would also appreciate those IPs being better. I'm not expecting homeruns everytime, but I would at least like your worst case scenarios to be better than mediocre. Because there was a good chunk of sony ips that frankly stunk sans a game or two.

Quantic Dream was confirm to be working on a new IP.

GG was confirm to be workig on a new IP as they were working of KZ:SF.

Santa Monica Studios should be working on something, right now they are just helping out Ready at Dawn studios on The Order 1886.

Media Molecule said they were done with LBP, so lets see what they come up with.

Then we have the WarHawk/Starhawk devs, they have to be on something (I hope to god its a real WarHawk game this time).

And the Motorstorm devs, what are they up to?

Well, if you want to use GS and games that scored an 8 they also published State of Decay(same score as TLOU), Battleblock Theater, Iron Brigade and Monday Night Combat. Then you also have solid games that got a 7 like Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Charlie Murder, Skulls of the Shogun, Ilomilo and The Maw.

The motor storm devs are making drive club aren't they?

It's definitely true. Evidenced by this gen.

I dont think they are the ones, if true.... then thats a huge step down and really disappointing.

Googled it and they are the ones making it.

When I play games like Puppeteer and Little Big Planet, I get an appreciation of Sony's creative potential. But a lot of their new IPs are pretty mediocre or bad, too.

Their recent "Kart" and "Smash" attempts have failed pretty badly. Knack didn't do too well.

I didn't know he had a new IP coming, that's great news!

Cant help but laugh at the damage control here, Sony published The Last of Us, Puppeteer, Rain, Tearaway, Beyond Two Souls, and Knack this year, and thats just off the top of my head.

They also have Freedom Wars, Drive Club, and The Order:1886 confirmed for next year, and thats just what we know about.

ah.......................... ****

What a waste....

To bad most of their "New IP's" tend to blow.

And Sony wishes they have something that they can milk.

There is a reason why Mario and Link survived for so long while their contemporaries flaked out.

@mems_1224:

Problem is, Arcade games are no reason to own $400 and $500 hardware. I didn't buy a 360 at launch with the expectations that most of the best games released would be something my dated laptop could handle.

You can't say for a second that an XBLA title can come even close to being in the same league as a Halo, Uncharted, TLOU or a Gears of War. I mean if that's the kind of gaming I wanted to do, I would just use my $200 Acer and play cheap games from Steam.

social degenerates and pedophiles?

More commited to abandoning old IPs everyone cares about for New IPs. Love it Sony!

Although they do seem to be caring more about their IPs than they did in the past. Maybe now we'll see a new Med-Evil.

lol

All MS is committed to is buying timed dlc exclusivity which is of course anti consumer.

Good games are good games.

I don't doubt that based on recent history. But new IPs were not a big time pay off financially for Sony TC. But they have been critically.

Cool I guess but I don't care if a game is a new IP or not so long as it's good.

Well, they're doing pretty solid. A lot of mediocre titles, but some great ones.

For once, i agree with Finalstar!

I think im going to be sick :(

Better than anything new by Microsoft or Nintendo.

More of a payoff than any news IP by Microsoft. I would say Nintendo too but garbage like Wii Fit and Wii Sports sold a ton in bundles.

Also taking chance on these games must not be a huge risk because they keep doing it.

This.

Also, people may call Mario out for a constant stream of games, but SM3DW changed more since Galaxy than there are differences between, say, Killzone & Resistance. Sony aren't really innovative in the sense that Nintendo or even Valve have been. Their highlight over the past generation in terms of unique IP would probably have to be LittleBigPlanet.

@mems_1224:

That's a cop-out and those games are only there because Microsoft is too cheap to fund AAA game development. They would rather spend their money making retro clone mini-games and locking down 1 month early COD content. I bet those checks written to Activision alone could have funded a retail AAA exclusive.

Heavy Rain, Beyond, Puppeteer, Starhawk and Tearaway were pretty innovative whether you liked them or not. What has Valve done recently?

good games are good games

Sony had the most AAAe exclusives this past generation and most of them were new to this generation. God Of War III, MGS4 and Killzone 2 were the only carry-overs from the previous gen. #truthfacts

Sony loves to do a lot of talking. I don't really see anything come of it.

@StrongBlackVine:

The funny thing is, Heavy Rain was offered to M$ first. They turned it down because they found the story content to be too objectionable. Same would have been true for TLOU just based on the opening footage. Not like TLOU would have ever got the green light to begin with though had ND belonged to M$. Just like Bungie leaving in order to be able to make anything besides Halo, Naughty Dog would have been told they could make Uncharted only. Maybe even with a Kinect spinoff.

As for Vslve? They haven't made jack shit.

Good AAA game >>>> good indie game. IMO.

So agree that Journey shouldn't have gotten GOTY last year?

I see you do some typing and most of it is worthless.

Haven't played it so I can't comment. Also the preference for AAA is just my own preference, not every one's. Just as I don't like traditional RPGs for the most part, but I wouldn't say one shouldn't be GOTY.

Anybody who's got even the slightest semblance of rationality knows no other platform holder, possibly no other company in the industry, pushes new IP as much as Sony does. To argue that point is just stupid.

Yes, apparently it's a big project too

I like Suckerpunch way more than I like Naughty Dog.

I see you are worthless and most of the time typing.

This is why Sony first party is great. They make something for every one.
