Yeah that is true. However games will never proceed anymore without a bit of experimentation. If you can produce the right game for two different elements like sports games and shoot em ups then two lots of gamers will be happy. Just imagine getting up after falling off your skateboard because some guy was in the way and being able to chop his head off with a katana! Justice would be served! LOL!

NEVER combine genres. Why do you think publishers don't really do it often. GTA: san andreas was a good game but as it is an 'action/shoot em up' the RPG element all though a nice new feature really wasn't that good. Imagine if EA games started helping to make Halo 3 or the next GTA!!! Catastrophy...
