So yeah, the epic battles of videogames, yet another best new IP thread of this generation, but this time I want to focus on which house made the best effort to bring us the best new IP of this generation, was it Sony with Horizon, Bloodborne, Destrening, etc? was it Microsoft with Cuphead, Titanfall, Ryse, etc? was it Nintendo with Splatoon, Astral Chain, Arms, Wonderfull 101? or was it a third party company with the likes of Sekiro, Overwatch, Fortnite, PUBG, The Division, Destiny, Control, etc I think this year we will have yet another new multiplatform IP with Cyberpunk, which so far to me looks pretty exciting with Keanu's inclusion in the game.
I personally think its been Nintendo with Astral Chain, completely loved that game, mainly due to how they managed to make a new game in the character action rpg genre that included a totally new awesome and innovative combat system (in which you could even control your character and your legion with the second stick at the same time and have a lot of mechanics around that), good level design, nice sidequest, awesome music, excellent art, all in all that game felt like Zelda (sidequests+puzzles/dungeos)+DMC/Bayo (balls to the walls stylish free combo based action and dodge based combat)+MG R (Slow motion sword cut what you will like mode)+ Wondeful 101 (mechanic around making some figures with right stick to take the advantage in combat). Some critic went as far as to call it best new ip this gen, and Eurogamer said its platinum game's best game, the game has also been pretty well received sitting at a 87MC and 89 User score in a genre that is usually not that favored (totally awesome games like Metal Gear Rising and Ninja Gaiden 2 are sitting at a 81 for example, even DMC5 which seemed to be a return of the king is just at an equally great 87, while not exactly same genre as Astral Chain (since the latter includes some RPG stuff) they are kind in the same action ballpark)
So era what do you think? who has brought us the best IP of the generation? since its impossible to make a poll that lists all the possible games I split it into these 4 categories (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and third party) which I believe include all if not most of the possible options, please if you vote in the poll it would be great if you can explain your answer to avoid making the thread just a drive-by-drop-a-name-list-a-thon and to share your thoughts with fellow resetera-ers and maybe some of us might even find some new refreshing IPs to play.
