This thread weird. We needing to make new genres of game to say shyt is a new IP? 
Does Elden Ring, Sekiro & Bloodborne Even Count As "New IPs"?

It would be like if square Enix called every final fantasy game a “new ip”
No, it would be like if square enix called every rpg they’ve ever made final fantasy, just because they’re all turn based and star protagonist with big swords
Stop it.
Final fantasy games are much more varied than Froms last couple games.
From just likes to pick a new name each time. But anyone being honest with themselves knows they are all part of the same series of games.

Sekiro has far different traversal/movement, progression, items and stock weapons, no armor, linearity, combat, an actual plot with a real protagonist, and completely different setting and themes.
If thats not enough of a distinction for you then a lot of games aren’t new IPs
I thought I was the only one
The gameplay is the same.
Just like final Fantasy games have all that “new” stuff but are still considered the same IP

You get punished for playing Bloodborne like Dark Souls.
You can't play BB like Dark Souls. BB stripped out too many Souls mechanics for it to play like a true Souls game.

Since the threadstarter obviously hasn't played this game like that and hasn't done his real due diligence, Does this even count as a real thread?!

They even have a shield in Bloodborne as a joke weapon
BB is action game with RPG elements. Dark Souls is an RPG with action elements.

And sekiro is just an action game
At least every FF game has a different battle system.
The only thing similar about those games is the way the world is structured. Mechanically the games are vastly different.FromSoft literally just swap settings with the same ol' Souls gameplay and call it a day
bloodborne -victorian london
sekiro - feudal japan
elden ring - medieval europe...again
it's like saying each assassin's creed game is a new IP since they swap settings, and iterate on the gameplay about as much as the soulsborne games do
It's like saying that the assassins creed series is exactly the same as the far cry series because the way the world's are structured is similar, but Mechanically those games play vastly different from each other.
