I mostly said that because in every discussion about sequels and new IPs, people end saying that publishers only invest in new game ideas at the start of a gen because people are more open minded and search for new experiences. Well, this gen is starting and from all the new IPs announced so far (Titanfall/Destiny, Ryse, Project Spark, Knack, etc.) none of them has made it to the top twenty. If that's an indication on how the games will perform sales wise (which isn't), our hope for new games will rely on the hands of small/indie devs. |
Let's see next year. Hopefully something big then. Miyamoto's new ip should be coming too. Interested to see what that turns out to be.
The new ip's that do get a lot of hype come from developers with proven records i think...Destiny - Bungie (Halo), Titanfall (Ex COD) and The Last of Us this year from Naughty Dog. It's pretty hard to launch a new compelling ip these days as market is already quite saturated with really big games and smaller ones. There is space for $30-40 games that could be fulfilled this generation. Again let's see.
