Sony owns the name, sure enough, but their own people didn't create it or have any hand in the story or the game. Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft IPs when said as such usually, at least to me, refers to 1st party studios. And ICO/SotC is still one IP. We really shouldn't care about shitty IPs, delete them from all lists and lets see what it looks like. Though they have to be objectively trash as in non-functional like Knack and Beyond. |
Doesnt matter, Sony owns the IP so its there franchise and yes i agree that ICO/SotC should be one as it is the same franchise under different titles.
And stop bashing Knack! :D I actually havent heard a bad thing about that game from anyone other than reviewers. The general consensus seems to be that it's a solid game, not great nor bad. Beyond on the other hand is mixed, i thought it was good while others though it was dreadful, and others found it to be great. If you go look at it's metascore you'll see that the reviews range from 2 to 10.
