Progress would be making your own game, not ripping off someone else's ideas. We're not talking about a genre like FPS or RTS. We're not even talking about a subgenre, we're talking about a specific game that is popular enough to warrant 3-4 ripoff games a generation. |
What the heck, man? Would you want to live in a world where Tetris is the only puzzle game, SSX was the only snowboarding game, and Mario was the only platforming game? Just because Mario Kart did "Kart Racing" good, that doesn't mean that nobody else should take a stab at the genre (and it IS a genre). Heck, some people who owned a PS1 didn't own an N64. Would you deny them some Kart Racing goodness?
Oh, and progress is taking an existing idea and making it better. That's what CTR did. It's better than Mario Kart 64.
