Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a good weekend and rockin’ Holiday! We’re kicking off this week’s Member BattleCries with a post by Axe Head Vamp who delivers a huge shout out to those developers that aren’t afraid to try new things. In a sequel-driven industry, I agree that it’s refreshing and rewarding to see new IPs emerge and succeed. Here’s our Member BattleCry of the Day:

My EBC goes to the developers trying new IPs and actually putting an effort on getting a good quality game out with support and also to the gamers for supporting the new IPs such as Batman AA, Borderlands, Dragon Age. I think that by us supporting the new IPs shows them that we really appreciate new and innovative ideas and that we will support it if it’s a great game and not one of those generic shooters or the shovelware that we see at the stores.

Although I haven’t played Batman AA and Borderlands, I have experienced Dragon Age and agree whole heartedly. A well crafted fantasy land with deep history, memorable nations, characters and political and religious systems to rival that of most novels is not an easy task.
I am all for supporting new IPs that I can totally get behind. Only thing is, with stories such as this I actually want the sequels and for the adventures to continue. That’s the same for a lot of games I invest in though in case of titles like MW2 and L4D2 it’s more for the advancements in guns/maps and tools. I would never want companies to spend too much time on new IPs when they are already onto a good thing (personal preference) but I also believe that they shouldn’t be releasing their sequels on a yearly basis and instead fill those gaps with DLC.
The only thought I have on the matter is that if we support their new IP’s we’re gunna get a sequel from them continueing the loop of sequels we don’t wanna see.
Imagine seeing Fight Club 2 wouldn’t that suck? Why should we see Bioshock 2 then?

Money.
Because I agree with your point, My EBC goes to them even more for believing in new IPs and supporting new ideas.
