Forums - Gaming Discussion - VGChartz Vote! The Top 5 New IP's of the Generation So Far!

Alright now that the successor of the Wii is highly rumored to be coming soon, and given the fact that we are pretty far into this generation I though it would be interesting to see what VgChartz users feel are the 5 best new IP's.  Voteing will be done in a very similar way to the VGChartz Most Wanted lists due to it being a well know way to vote on the website and an easy one to organize. 

Rules

It must be a franchise or game that has only appeared on current consoles (PS3, 360, or Wii) or be a PC title which came out only after the current generation of consoles started.  It doesn't have to be a franchise it can be a single game such as Heavy Rain and Alan Wake currently are as long as its current gen.

Voteing will be done in a list of your top 5 with the top one scoreing 5 pts. and lowest one scoreing 1 pt, similar to the Most Wanted threads.  Here is my top 5 new IP as an example

1.  Gears of War ( 5 pts. )

2.  Mass Effect (4 pts. )

3.  Assassins Creed ( 3 pts. )

4.  Uncharted ( 2 pts. )

5.  Alan Wake ( 1 pt. )

Voteing will be open for 2 weeks and try to keep the thread mostly just votes currently, at the end of the two weeks I'll post a results thread where we can discuss in further details.  Anyways have fun and lets find out what the users think are the best and strongest new games and franchises!

Edit:  I won't count Modern Warfare 1 or 2 as a new IP since they both carry the Call of Duty label.  For Wii sports, Wii Fit, Wii play etc. just list the Wii Series.

Also Franchises and Single games are being held to the same standard.  Basically if you cast a vote for Uncharted its for the series itself and you don't have to specify a specific title.  The reason I allowed single games to also be voted for is I thought it would be a shame if people weren't able to vote for fantastic titles such as Heavy Rain, Alan Wake, Lost Odyssey, and others as among the best new games this generation has to offer.

Handhelds

SInce it seems there is some demand for DS / PSP lists what I'll do to make it easier on me when counting votes is, make either a seperate list for handhelds besides your main consoles list.  Or make only a handheld list.  When I make my results thread I'll include a seperate section for the handheld IP's.

1. Uncharted

2. inFamous

3. Mirror's Edge

I would have had Mirror's Edge and Alan Wake but they've yet to have second iterations.



It's alright I'm being pretty leniant on the use of IP.  It can only be a single game and not a franchise as long as it is a current gen game.  So stuff like Heavy Rain, Alan Wake, and Mirrors Edge are ok to vote for!



Boohoo nobody mentions Bioshock.

1. Mass Effect

2. Bioshock

3. Uncharted

4. Portal

These are all great franchises, I'm not sure I what the 5th should be, but Infamous (no franchise yet), Assassin's Creed (bad first game), Motorstorm (2 good games, 2 bad) would make a chance.

I understand that's it's about IP and not franchise, but I prefer not to put a single game in here.



1. LittleBIGPlanet

2. Uncharted

3. MNR

4. Gears of war

5. Heavy Rain

i really need a top 10 but there ya go.

 



I'm not sure if we're supposed to votes for new series or new IPs. If for example I will vote for Uncharted, will that count as a vote the Uncharted series or as a vote for the first game (Uncharted: Drake's Fortune)?

If for new series, here are my votes:-

1- Portal

2- Mass Effect

3- Demon's Souls

4- Gears of War

5- Uncharted
