Huh. We have more remakes in the Top 22 than new IP's (WWHD, FFXHD, KH1.5). At the dawn of a generation.

This could end very poorly.

Gamers always want new ip's in their fantasy world but they rather spend their money on established franchises in reality.

Not saying it is good or bad thing. Just an observation and even an annoyance considering how many times people complain about lack of new ip's.

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.

Let's wait and see, I agree.

But even the games you mention from respected and succesful studios, Titanfall (1 vote and 1 point for the Xbox360) and Destiny (1 vote-2points for X1, 1 vote-2points for PC and 2 votes-7points for PS4) aren't exactly doing great.

oh so true

Yea, the transition from 7th-8th gen isn't as dramatic as it used to be, so devs are still using the same game engines, and the same IP's. I mean Call of Duty and Battlefield are right off the bat going to do well on the PS4/One, so there isn't much incentive to make a new IP.

Then again, there are more then just 2 new IP's. There's Titanfall, Destiny, Wonderful 101, Tearaway, Freedom Wars, Bravery Default, Drive Club, Puppeteer, and Cyberpunk. 11 is what I count

Also depending on the game design on "X" it could could as a new IP. XenoSaga was very very different from XenoGears, and XenoBlade was very very different from XenoBlade. None of the plots overlap, but then you could relate this to FF since every FF is fairly different and unrelated.

OP: It's nice to see X up so high. It was so hard to vote this month, with GTA V gone, I really don't have a 5th game which I'm hyped for. Like JEMC said, it's all sequels, and what's worse is most of the earlier releasing titles are shooters (Battlefield, CoD, Killzone, Destiny, Titanfall, etc).

@Michael-5: To be fair, I was't talking only about the number of new IPs, but also the interest for those games.

C'mon, even Lair was more hyped!

Based on what we've seen of "X", it's either Xenoblade 2 or a Xenoblade spiritual successor with Xenogears influences. If it actually ties Xenogears and Xenoblade mythology together without any legal issues with Square-Enix, I would be extremely impressed.

I'm really surprised and dissapointed that Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze isn't higher. It is the sequel to the best 2.5D platformer ever made, after all.

Edit: Also, David Wise. Let us not forget David Wise's return.
