When I say new ip, I'm talking about a game with no sequels that was original for the time during the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 era.

My vote would go to Darksiders. Ever since the original game I fell in love with the series.

The other would be Mass Effect. To this day I consider it the best science fiction game to have ever been released. It was right up there with my other favorite, Star Control 2.

One other I can think of but I'm not sure if I can count it Demon's Souls. The reason for the gray area here is because it never actually had a direct sequel although it did kickstart the Soul series. However even Demon's Souls was a spiritual successor itself but I'll count it.

What was your favorite new IP that came out during this era?

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Pokemon.

Did I do it right?

 

[jigglet]

R6 Siege

 

[Rival]

Uncharted?

 

[Umbasaborne]

Mass effect!!!

 

[bender]

Demon Souls seems like the obvious answer for me.

 

[Turk1993]

 

[BennyBlanco]

dark souls
bioshock
left 4 dead
RDR

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

Last of Us ?

 

[ProgenitorCastle]

Bayonetta

 

[Clear]

Nier
Dragon's Dogma

and obviously Demon's Souls

 

[Tg89]

Souls. Not even close.

 

[bxrz]

Mass Effect
Bioshock (I guess technically its a new IP?)
Souls

Pick one

 

[Perrott]

Batman: Arkham, L.A. Noire and MotorStorm

 

[vodka-bull]

Mass Effect. Uncharted. Gears of War. Bioshock. Skate. Assassins Creed.

They weren‘t creatively bankrupt like developers and publishers are today.

 

[The Tourmaline Gorilla]

This easily goes to Gears of War, which introduced a cover system and style that many other games follow, to this day. None of the other games you guys mentioned was as influential as Gears of War.

 

[Raonak]

Uncharted, TLOU.

 

[NightmareFarm]

inFAMOUS. Bayonetta is close second though.

 

[ReBurn]

Always gonna be Mass Effect and Infamous for me.

 

[hinch7]

Mass Effect, Uncharted, Portal and Bioshock. Bioware did mess up with Andromeda so there's that..

 

[SEGA_2012]

Gears of War.

 

[intbal]

This easily goes to Gears of War, which introduced a cover system and style that many other games follow, to this day. None of the other games you guys mentioned was as influential as Gears of War.

There were games in the 6th generation which had similar cover systems.

 

[shiru]

Dead Rising

 

[AncientOrigin]

Dragons Dogma
Demons Soul
Last of Us
Uncharted
Savage Moon
There are more but these are for me my favorites

 

[Celcius]

Gears of War probably

 

[Foilz]

If this is best new IP I personally enjoyed then It's Too Human. I know it was unfinished and broken but I loved that game

 

[Lethal01]

Bayonetta

 

[adamsapple]

Mass Effect baybay.

 

[semiconscious]

man, reading all these titles. does anyone seriously believe there's even a small chance of there being as many equally incredible franchises being created this gen?...

 

[Doom85]

man, reading all these titles. does anyone seriously believe there's even a small chance of there being as many equally incredible franchises being created this gen?...

 

[hinch7]

man, reading all these titles. does anyone seriously believe there's even a small chance of there being as many equally incredible franchises being created this gen?...

I mean there's Elden Ring. Potentially Starfield, maybe Wolverine.

 

[Umbasaborne]

dark souls
bioshock
left 4 dead
RDR

RDR actually began on the ps2. Red dead revolver started development at capcom and rockstar sort of took it over, idk the specifics

 

[Topher]

Mass effect!!!

That and TLOU would be mine.

 

[Fahdis]

Uncharted and The Last of Us brought in a new level of story telling to the masses.

Gears of War brought in the mechanics and grit in story and gameplay at the sametime.

Killzone 2 still looks like it can be a PS5 game, on a technical level it was really far ahead (yea technically not a new IP but damn it felt like it).

Batman Arkham and Infamous brought in the feeling of being a real super hero in a game.

Assassin's Creed brought in the freedom of movement and wonder we always had since Prince of Persia along with historical narrative.

Dirt made you play a rally game seriously for the first time.

LittleBigPlanet made you spend some time understanding how user content creation work and you hated it but wanted platformers to be as adorable as it was.

Forza Horizon and Motorstorm brought in aspects of racing that were not seen before, so you invested and got hooked.

Resistance made you play your first 60 vs. player match online the first time.

Demon's Souls started a completely new genre in the industry and now you're damn hooked.

Call of Duty

I’m counting it. Released in 2003 on PC but it’s first console release was on PS360

Bioshock

Last of Us

Gears of War

Uncharted

Ass Creed

This gen is still my favourite by far. Insane amount of new IP and the last time we saw mass improvement in game design and AI

 

[EDMIX]

Assassins Creed
The Last Of Us
Red Dead Redemption

RDR actually began on the ps2. Red dead revolver started development at capcom and rockstar sort of took it over, idk the specifics

Rockstar has stated themselves its in its own universe. As to why RDR2, isn't called 3....

man, reading all these titles. does anyone seriously believe there's even a small chance of there being as many equally incredible franchises being created this gen?...

yea but...going to have to tone that subjectivity lol I don't now what you might find "incredible" so I'll leave my comment based on as many new IP being made. I don't think anyone can truly answer what you gave as that answer would differ quite a bit.

Objectively...the same publishers that make new IP, are still making new IP.

Judas
Pragmata
Exoprimal
Starfield (though Bethesda Soft rarely do new IP, worth bring up)
Redfall
Ronin
Forespoken
Diofield Chronicle
Sony has several new IP being made
Ubisoft has several teams working on new IP
Take Two has almost half of their games coming out will be new IP (sorta the Ubisoft method)

So we still have new IP done by a lot of the same teams known for doing that each gen and even some by publishers that generally had less of this in the past, so I'm sure there will be more then enough for everyone to find something they like

 

[yurinka]

The Last of Us
Uncharted
Little Big Planet
Mirror's Edge
Bayonetta
Gears of War
Dead Space

 

[Rockman33]

Last of us, uncharted, Bioshock, Gears

 

[{insert code here}]

Bioshock, Mass Effect, Dishonored, RDR, Dead Space, Dark Souls, Gears, Uncharted, Bayonetta, Dragons Dogma, Metro, Borderlands.

 

[kyliethicc]

The Last of Us

 

[MadPanda]

As many others have picked what I would, I won't repeat. I'll just say I'm amazed how many new amazing IPs were created during that generation and many of them are active to this day. With ballooning costs and time for development I don't think we'll ever see it again.

I just got reminded how many great indies we got too, like super meat boy, the binding of Isaac, state of decay etc.

 

[existensmaximum]

Interesting to see how many of these titles that you keep mentioning are console exclusives. Probably not a coincidence.

 

[bender]

Killzone 2 still looks like it can be a PS5 game, on a technical level it was really far ahead (yea technically not a new IP but damn it felt like it).

Killzone started on the PS2.

 

[remember_spinal]

Demon’s souls, uncharted, the last of us, mass effect, bioshock, Red Dead

 

[remember_spinal]

man, reading all these titles. does anyone seriously believe there's even a small chance of there being as many equally incredible franchises being created this gen?...

Yes, new big IP are created every gen. Almost none of the games mentioned in this thread were out by this time into the 7th gen

 

[Dirk Benedict]

The Last of Us and Lollipop Chainsaw.... Asura's Wrath. I tie them all together, but that's me. I enjoyed all of them immensely.

 

[semiconscious]

I mean there's Elden Ring. Potentially Starfield, maybe Wolverine.

yep... meanwhile, in the first 2 years of the ps3/360:

new ips released at the end of 2006: gears of war, resistance
new ips released in 2007: bioshock, portal (orange box), rock band, crysis, mass effect, uncharted, crackdown
new ips released in 2008: littlebigplanet, left 4 dead, dead space...

 

[Esppiral]

Too many to name just a few, what a great generation that one was.

 

[F31 Leopard]

This easily goes to Gears of War, which introduced a cover system and style that many other games follow, to this day. None of the other games you guys mentioned was as influential as Gears of War.

You do know Gears cover system is heavily influenced by Kill.Switch? Gears was referred to as Resident Killswitch by CliffyB himself.

How am I the only one to say Call of Duty
