Well to be fair 4 out of 7 were based on existing properties. Although certainly not fan art in some cases. But here is the list. The existing properties are all in caps. I'm not saying it's a bad thing I'm just saying it is what it is.
sci fi hunter and pet
swamp elder
toy design
GAUNTLET
MONSTER HUNTER
MIYAZAKI
ZELDA
I hate to say it but in the real world game studios start by comparing themselves to other titles. They'll say "God of War meets COD" and so on and so fourth. I'm guessing the pitch for Assassins Creed started with these three words "GTA meets Thief" because it's something an investor can understand. So it is a valid challenge to pull something original out of something contrived. At least it's better than doing things the other way around.
