Is The Last Guardian a new IP?

Technically, yes. They said it wasn't a sequel to SotC or Ico, but took place in the same universe (similar with FFvXIII and FFXIII).

Ok because last time jarrod was telling me that a new IP needs to be a whole new universe.

For example, he said Folklore isn't a new IP because it's in the same world as a very obscure game on the PSP (I don't remember what it was).

I think it's pretty silly. That's why I prefer the word franchise over IP.


Folklore is it's own game. I've heard about that PSP game in question. It was released after Folklore so no matter how you look at it, Folklore's a new IP this gen. And after looking up as much as I could about Coded Soul (the psp game), both games have you collecting monsters to use but that's pretty much it. Gameplay, story, execution, EVERYTHING is different from Folklore. They also had different developers and nothing to do with each other. Only real thing connecting the two is a patch that lets you switch monsters between the two games. Still, stuff like shared content between to different franchises isn't uncommon. MGS4 with Altair's out fit. Teasers of Jak and Ratchet in the other franchises games, etc.
