We need more turn-based puzzle shooters with RPG elements, sandbox destructable environments with CGI real-time particle physics, and flying eyeballs that shoot laser beams from their eyes.

Why not a sandbox (GTA like) in First person ? with interaction like Oblivion

Fallout?

No, we are all excited for the release of Halo: Reach and the next Call of Duty.

I think the idea is that we want the new popular genre to be good games

nope. jost killzone 3 and gears3. srry

There shouldn't be 'a genre' that any developer or platform focuses on. The whole point of gaming and really any industry is to provide variety and depth with many different products for all walks of life. I personally think we need MORE variety and MORE devs taking chances with new ideas. Instead of the same old crap or the new wave which is to take one genre and then try cramming another in a foolish combination. Don't get me wrong, some ideas work well but often times they just add 'light RPG' elements to try and get more sales. In general devs need to go back to the old days where they focused on FUN and NOT PROFITS.... I know, it rarely happens but I can dream :)

GTA like.

you know? like a living city not a wasteland.

Here's a novel idea, rather than having a particular genre that developers will lazily fall back on when they run out of decent ideas, we could say that all genres should be treated equally...

FPS, linear,save the world type shooters need to die fast!

We need fallout 3 FPS games, those are the FUTURE of games.
