I wholeheartedly agree with this. Perfect Dark Zero is to this day the game with the best gun-fighting, with something as basic as aiming requiring great precision and strategy. The only rival I can think of is Metro 2033, which also didn't revolve around auto-aiming and jumping around to avoid getting hit.
Overall, my most desired "innovation" would be gameplay taking the front seat back from the cinematic experience. Recent comments by Miyamoto about how the gamers themselves should be the director explained my standpoint perfectly. Skyrim and the original Halo are two prominent examples, and more games and genres should follow their example.
