Nintendo hardly showed anything new AT ALL; have they run out of ideas? (Rant)

ugh no. They get criticized for online pay and Vita handling. New IPS? Hell no

Let me list a few things for you

TLOU = a new IP from their most acclaimed studio. A story driven take on the zombie genre which is currently one of the highest rated games of all time. 

Knack = a new IP from a creator who has been part of franchises like Crash, Jak and many more in the past

Puppetteer = new IP and a very creative title from SCEJ

Rain = Same as above

The Order = A new IP in a steam punk london, in an alternative reality setting, from SSm and R@D

GGs = Yes they have a new KZ but as you can see it's a very different take than the past games. But ignore that for a moment. They also have one unannounced new IP. Word is that's a Gamescom reveal. Speculation is that it's an action WRPG

DriveClub = A team based/first person view focused new driving IP from Evolution. They are pretty big so don't be surprised if they have even more projects unannounced

Even games like Second Son. It's not playing it safe. Total new setting, character, a unique new power.

So No...new IPs are NOT something they should be criticized for. And I haven't even talked about second party stuff like Quantic Dreams unannounced new IP for the PS4

I don't think anyone who actually look at these things and say that with a straight face that Sony doesn't bring new IPs to the table that get people excited. 

I don't think I ever said Sony doesn't bring new IP's to the table... but okay.

Deal with the fact that every developer/publisher has one or more games that they constantly re-create. Sony isn't alone in this, Nintendo isn't alone in this, Microsoft isn't alone in this. It won't stop happening and no matter if Sony or whomever release a billion new IP's, they still re-create a franchise that they had already introduced. Is that a bad thing? Well, that's up to you to decide.

what the hell are you going on about. As usual your arguments are all over the place. Did you reply to me earlier without understanding the context? Nintendo is currently getting criticized to hell and back for not bringing more new IPs to the table. Some said the same can be said for others. I gave facts to show what that is not true. Outside of a few nintendo fans do you see gamers in general point the finger at sony and say hey sony why can't you give us new IPs? lol 

No need to run around the fact..it is what it is. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if ND's other team is NOT working on a new Uncharted. So in summary, issue is not recreating or revisiting same ideas or old Ips....it's the focus on not creating new experiences through new IPs. 

Heck I don't think you can say Ubisoft is in the same boat either. Every year they bring some new exciting new IPs to E3. Good on them 

 

@FOX: Yeah I think that indeed is a problem in a business pov as well. I think they understand it tho cuz Shuhei addressed it a while back in an interview. I think cutting down the number of teams they had and making the current ones bigger is one approach they are using. Number of games may decrease but the quality will likely increase too.

@milkyjoe: A new IP from a dev like ND is exciting. Laugh all you want but TLOU had more people excited than anything Nintendo showed today. For good reason too. ha indeed
