"The future of gaming is stuck in the past"

All of the comments regarding what people would like to see on the new consoles seems to be a sequel to "X" or "Y" or a game like "z". This is why there are so few original games out there. The developers know what makes money and don't like to take risks. The smaller companies that were more interested in gameplay and originality have mostly been bought out by the companies interested only in making money. The way ahead is to try games that sounds different, even if the graphics or sound may not be great, or your mates might not like it.

Yes that's probably true for consoles, that's why i'm standing behind the PC! Oh and Z may have been a bad game because it came out at the wrong time, but Z2 is looking like a great game! (Hehehe!)
