28 Killer New IPs for 2008

From Gameplayer... "For us to truly feel like we are in a new generation of gaming, we need to see original IPs that bring fresh faces, worlds, gameplay mechanics, and stories to our games libraries. It's like we're great explorers crossing oceans to discover fresh new lands. For the games listed below, we are the pioneers, witnessing a new generation of series take flight. 2008 will be defined by a lot more than GTAIV, MGS4 and a zillion Mario knock-offs!"

From what I've seen, I definitely would have put Project Offset over some of those (especially Army of Two).

khrisnifer6714d ago

Prototype looks crazy good - can't wait to play it.

MK_Red6714d ago

Prototype is indeed one to watch for.

As for Project Offset, I definitly agree that it is bigger than most of games on that list but there is no proof that it's a 2008.

resistance1006714d ago

InFamous, Littlebigplanet and HAZE top my New IP list.

Heavy Rain, White Knight Story, The agency and Alan wake also deserve mentions

cmrbe6714d ago

know if infamous is coming out this year? That is 1 IP i am really looking forward to seeing any news about

resistance1006714d ago

Well the trailer said release 2008. I suspect it will hit towards the end of the year.

And given the time that sucker punch have had to make it, im guessing it will be ready this year.

avacadosnorkel6714d ago

I bet Resistance 2 comes out before Infamous. And that's sad because then Insomniac will have released 3 dope games before Sucker Punch makes one. Same goes for Killzone 2. These studios should be ashamed of themselves.

cmrbe6714d ago

I am definitely getting all of them.

resistance1006714d ago

'These studios should be ashamed of themselves.'

I disagree, while it is amazing how fast Insominac are making games. You have to remember that Sucker Punch and Naughty Dog both work with them aswell and vice versa. sucker punch also just created PAIN.

Also how do you know that sucker punch have been working that long on the game? It was only annouced in 2007 so chances are they didn't start it until late 2006. For all we know they could have been working on things such as HOME in that time.

Bunch of these games aren't making it out in 08. Heck, the first one they had listed, Sabatour, is a prime example. How can they release that when Pandemic studios has to finish Mercenaries 2 first...and that isn't supposed to be out until August now.

SlappingOysters6714d ago

Pandemic have multiple studios dude: they also now have plenty of new help in the form of big daddy EA.

I think a few of these games will slip into 2009 too, although at present there all 2008 babies.

For me its Borderlands, Spore and Haze that have me excited. Warhound looks sweet, although Chrome was a bit lame so...

TwissT6714d ago

Im looking forward for Infamous and Alan Wake and Too Human, they look interestig.

Grown Folks Talk6714d ago

need to look up disagree in the dictionary to see what it actually means. I guess they know what you're looking forward to better than you do.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio57d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing57d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9257d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit57d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing57d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9257d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
