Black Flags also has a different setting, different characters and a exotic carribean look compared to the American Civil War look of AC 3. Fact is it has mostly the same gameplay elements as other AC games, just like Bloodborne does with other Souls games(gameplay differences in Black Flag are bigger actually). Again only difference between these two examples is the name. Same can be said for so many others like COD, GTA etc. Everyone knows Bloodborne is just a slightly altered Souls game because Sony wanted an exclusive from From Software and the weren't willing to give up Dark Souls 3 for that. That's why it had to be a different IP and name, but that doesn't make it an entirely new franchise or game. Otherwise the game would probably have been called Blood Souls, because a developer would never pass the oppertunity to use an established brand name. Just look at a game like COD: Infinite Warfare, you can barely even call that a COD game but they are not going to pass on a brand like that.

Every single thing i said in that post is correct, but this is going no where. If you like you can start a poll and ask people if Bloodborne belongs in a list of completely new games that this generation has brought but i think you can guess the results.
Anyway by you're definition the new Red Dead game will probably be the best new IP this generation, so you can forget about Bloodborne. Let's say it's called Red Dead Revenge: New name=New IP=Completely new and different franchise apparently. I just hope no other developer picks up on this trick otherwise we will only get rebranded games from now on.
You can respond to this if you like but i won't reply so your choice, no hard feelings.
Edit: Just remembered that by this definition Rocket League applies for this list, so no Horizon is not the best new IP this gen. Probably should have responded with that right away sorry. :-p
