After watching this neat video about the apparent lack of new IPs in the near future of the video game industry, I've decided to march right over to my "following list" here on the site and see for myself if the situation is really that glum (since I have the tendency to follow new IPs, regardless of their promise ? except sport games and JRPGs).
The list will include only games that are scheduled for release in the year 2012. Here it is (I'll add links to games with less than a 1000 followers):
Captain Morgane and the Golden Turtle
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Asura's Wrath
I Am Alive
Dragon's Dogma
The Secret World
Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 ? can be argued that is not really new IP, but? close enough.
Spec Ops: The Line
TBA 2012:
The Last of Us
The Walking Dead ? Not sure if new IP or just awesome.
StarHawk
I must have missed a few, but as you can see, 2012 isn't short on new IPs. Sure there are more sequels and remakes than original ideas, but that's the case everywhere, not just the video game industry.
Feel free to leave a comment with any games I might have missed, or just to inform me of your great love for original IPs.
Have a great February with tons of new and exciting games!
