good job at listing all 1st party games when the discussion is about 3rd parties

Factor 5 - 3rd party

Ninja theory - 3rd party

Level 5 - 3rd party

Insomniacs - independent, but they do love sony.

And i dont see how FF13 is not a new ip ? it may be called FF but everything about the game is new. Its not a sequal or spinof.

OK, you seem to have (purposely?) missed the point of the post. The idea was there is a prevailing attitude of "Big, proven IP's are the most important." Of course the PS3 will get some new IP's, especially since many companies don't HAVE proven franchises to fall back on. You can't stop new people coming up with new ideas.

I wanted to know, however, what people thought about the undelying trend and the attitude of third parties to do with new IPs (and more importantly, completely new ideas), especially large development houses who have a portfolio of successful franchises. Do they release it on PS3 as a full game with a large development budget and risk heaps? Do they make a smaller cheaper title and release it on Wii? And will the lower dev costs encourage developers to take risks with their games and create something that might not sell?

Will games such as Lair and other "risky" games succeed on the PS3? Will that effect other developers, make them think twice about publishing new IPs?

Also, let's not get started with the "Nintendo only makes Mario" junk. I challenge you to think of one single gaming company who have come up with as many successful new IP's as Nintendo over the last 5 years. (But do it in a different thread please)
