After seeing alot of discussion on forums, game review sites, etc. about there being no place for newer IP's anymore, I've decided I've had enough and I'd like to talk about this.
In a market flooded with sequels (GTA4, MGS4, RE5, Halo 3, CoD 4, and so many more...), there is a stigma associated with releasing a brand new IP. People seem to think that they are doomed to drown in the wave of constant sequels being brought out by companies who are too afraid to try something new. I disagree with this way of thinking however. With all of the great new IP's launched this year and the year before (Phoenix Wright, Assassin's Creed, Bioshock, Gears of War, and I could go on and on), the future is looking brighter for anyone looking for a refreshing gameplay experience rather then going back to the same old franchises over and over.
Now some of the new IP's are the same tried and true genres, but at least they attempt to be different.
Any thoughts?
