Hey ERA, what's the best new IP introduced this gen?

[FelipeMGM]

So I started playing Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds yesterday and that reminded me of all the great things this property already showed in its first game

HZD is a technical marvel of an open-world RPG with a neat concept and very intriguing and well-delivered story. Creature design is pretty unique for the medium and the machines make great enemies for its really fun combat. So yeah, I would comfortably say the debut of this franchise was a pretty great one

Not only that, but because of all of this merits and how much I enjoy the game, personally I would pick Horizon Zero Dawn as the best new IP introduced this gen (at least on the AAA scene)

So now I'm curious to know what fellow ERA members think. What title is the best new IP for you this gen so far??

 

[Novel Mike]

New IP? I don't love it as much as other people do but I'd say Bloodborne.

 

[catboy]

Bloodborne her power and impact.

imo it is just incredible, the way it all comes together to create something genuinely memorable and exciting is what makes it the best new IP this gen for me.

 

[Sheng Long]

I will also echo Horizon. It's now a major franchise that I expect sequels to.

 

[nasirum]

Bloodborne. Absolutely the best new IP for me!

1. Knack



2. Horizon
3. Bloodborne

Does Gravity Rush count? Then Gravity Rush.

 

[Rei no Otaku]

Definitely Horizon. Playing the DLC now and it really is just reminding me how great the game is.

 

[GinoFelino]

Bloodborne, no doubt

Second place goes to Rocket League

 

[purseowner]

Prey
Arms

 

[Kyry]

I would say Splatoon.

If Wii U doesn't count, then Horizon is my runner up.

 

[OldBenKenobi]

I would say Bloodborne, ORI, and Horizon.


Edit: totally forgot about Overwatch!

 

[Xenosaga]

Bloodborne

 

[Poutine Runner 2049]

Gotta be Bloodborne for me too.

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

Bloodborne. Simply because it was the one I put the most time in.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Golf Story

 

[Deleted member 1413]

The Wonderful 101 is probably my favorite new IP in awhile.
Great characters, music, world, gameplay.
Love it to bits even though I know it'll never get a sequel.

 

[Psamtik]

Overwatch, and I don't think it's even close.

 

[PayForYourGas]

Horizon for sure.

 

[Bigg]

Overwatch.

It is so fucking great to see a revival of the TF2 style team-based shooter.

 

[Feichaw]

Overwatch. There's no doubt in my mind. Still my most played game.

 

[Plasma]

Horizon or Sunset Overdrive for me.

 

[Grim Patron]

ARMS, Gravity Rush, Horizon, Sunset Overdrive

 

[butman]

New IP? I don't love it as much as other people do but I'd say Bloodborne.

First post wins!

Thinking about it, I think it comes down to Bloodborne or Horizon to me. Bloodborne feels a bit more like a Souls game instead of a brand new IP though, so I think I'll have to give it to Horizon. I just love that game, it's fantastic at nearly everything it wants to accomplish. If they can iron out some of the slight issues, give us stronger side characters and stories on the "current civilization" side of things, and refine combat further, we'll have a real landmark of a sequel in a few years.

 

[White Glint]

It's absolutely Bloodborne.

Also I don't want it to become a franchise. It should stay singular and perfect like it is now.

 

[takriel]

Bloodborne and Horizon.

 

[Take5GiantSteps]

Sunset Overdrive
Cuphead
Rocket League
Hyper Light Drifter
Titanfall

I don't think Mario + Rabbids counts since that's a mashup of existing IP, but throwing it regardless. Surprised I wrote so many XB1 games!

Edit: I didn't think that Gravity Rush or Splatoon would count, but if they do then add them to my list!

 

[Deleted member 135]

Horizon 100%. Nothing else comes close.

 

[Infernostew]

Horizon and Bloodborne

 

[Z..]

Splatoon, by far. Wii U does count. No mention otherwise in the OP so one must assume it counts.

 

[Dog of Bork]

Bloodborne and HZD are close, I'd call it a tie.

 

[tiebreaker]

Does Gravity Rush count? Then Gravity Rush.

This.

 

[strife85]

bloodborne /thread

 

[Zukkoyaki]

I liked Bloodborne more than Horizon but I'm going to say Horizon. It's going to be a household name for PlayStation for a long time.

 

[itshutton]

Unanimous, Bloodborne or Horizon. Sonyera.

You need to reply to this thread in order to see this content.

 

[MajulaDream]

*ahem* Bloodborne

 

[maximumzero]

It's easily Splatoon.

 

[kc44135]

Bloodborne.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Bloodborne or Horizon. I can't really pick between them because they are both fucking phenomenal.

 

[Lokoline]

Horizon: Zero Dawn for me.

 

[Agni Kai]

Horizon Zero Dawn. I just love every single part in this game.

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

Bloodborne

Followed closely by Prey (if it counts) and Horizon

 

[Zebei]

Splatoon

Such a great aesthetic and really fun gameplay to boot. Most importantly, it still has plenty of room to grow and improve like any good IP should.

 

[Silky]

Still Sunset Overdrive for me. Nothing comes close. I have yet to be impressed by a game in the same method Sunset Overdrive has impressed me.

 

[Touha]

Bloodborne, Nioh and very soon likely Ghost of Tsushima.....

 

[BGBW]

Jump Up, Super Star!

 

[RandomTiger]

lol that Horizon image, Horizon for me too.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Splatoon, Overwatch, and Gravity Rush for me.

 

[cakely]

Even though it's essentially still a souls game, I have to go with Bloodborne.

I would also give a shout-out to both Until Dawn and Let it Die.

EDIT: Yeah, and Overwatch. How did I forget about that?
