This. I have not played Death Stranding but the other three are on another level. You will be hard pressed to fin better games than those this generation.
Never forget. That thread was the fastest I've ever seen a thread move.
"Objectively". But that is at least answering the question in the OP
this isn't what OP is asking, though?
**edit, i suppose it is. But it's still 3rd party for me.

Fair. I guess I felt the game series they ran with was pretty fresh.
This is probably the correct response. 3rd party has brought far more new IP than any of the major ones.
But this is just new IP. I'm not saying I'd choose MS personally, but you have:
Ori
Quantum Break
Sea of Thieves
Titanfall
Cuphead
Ryse
Sunset Overdrive
ReCore
Some other stuff like D4, Crimson Dragon
Vs
Bloodborne
Last Guardian
Dreams
Days Gone
Order 1886
Death Stranding
Horizon Zero Dawn
Some other stuff like Astrobot, Concrete Genie
I can see why someone would choose either list. Myself, I'd take Sony's just for Horizon. But all we're talking about is personal taste.
Example: I might get flayed by this thread for saying it but I peraonally found Bloodborne to be a reskinned Souls experience I had already played multiple times, and couldn't bother finishing it. Yet clearly tons of people here think it's mind-blowing. To each their own. If you thought Ori and Sea of Thieves and Sunset Overdrive were the best new IP this gen, that's reasonable.
Pillars of Eternity
Overwatch
Sekiro
Papers, Please
Stardew Valley
Kentucky Route Zero
Celeste
Hollow Knight
Outer Worlds
Outer Wilds
Control
so many more
Third party easily.
This IP is 50 years old.

Fortnite shits on everything else from a great height to the point not having Fortnite in your platform will actively hurt it.
Horizon has better combat than a lot of games in the same genre
I fail to see what the difference is b/w this thread and the other "best IP of the gen" thread... like doesn't the consensus of that thread already tell us what studio brought the best IP(s)?
I refuse to vote. Without any of these players current gen becomes weak.
For my part bloodborne nioh sekiro horizon and driveclub are indespensible

Well, it's obviously third party if we count that as a whole.
- Destiny
- Overwatch
- The Division
- Planet Zoo / Planet Coaster
- Fortnite
- Hearthstone
- Sekiro
- Control
- Celeste
- Hollow Knight
- Life is Strange
- PUBG
- Cuphead (this is not a Microsoft IP)
- Rainbow Six Siege
- Project CARS
- Overcooked
- Rocket League
I mean cmon how the hell can 3rd party lose, its literally every other new IP ever vs 1-4 great new ip from the second best competitor there which is Sony

Why is third parties a separate option that presumably includes hundreds of gaming companies? How is that a fair comparison... I think you'd have to put the other 3 together then?
Like this isn't even well thought out console warring... What if you compare the output of the whole gaming industry vs 3 singular publishers, oh my who would win?

1P : Sony easily by a mile, you could probably put the other together and it still no competition.
3P : Annapurna great output, probably the greatest surprise of the gen.
I don't think it makes sense to look a 3P as a whole, if we are talking about 3P should be one publisher.
And Sony against Annapurna in my opinion Sony takes it.

If we compare them to each third party individually they easily are the best. If we are lumping dozens of third parties and comparing them to a single publisher, then yeah third party would have the edge due to the sheer number of them, not really a fair comparison though.

Sony or "3rd party" wins.
Nintendo's new IPs have been kind of fringey feeling. Some unique ideas that don't make for compelling final full price games to me. I don't think we'll ever see a new Metroid or Zelda type of IP from them. More just random goofy side projects like Arms. Which is kind of depressing even if they're not bad games strictly speaking.
MS obviously doesn't really even attempt to compete in this topic.

Wait so all 3rd party are grouped into one ?
How the fuck are they not objectively the best then. Theres more new 3rd party IPs this year than all 3 console manufacturers put together for the entire generation. Its just meh to see the Nintendo and Sony votes , every poll on this place is just a fanboy war between those two companies anyway.
In every metric 3rd party comes out on top with titles across a variety of genres.
The two biggest new IPs this gen are 3rd party PUBG and Fortnite.

I voted Sony. They have been killing it on the new IPs this gen for me. Horizon is one of my fav games, really enjoyed days gone last year too.
