It will come as technology matures. Your first true unscripted conversation with an NPC will feel like magic. And we still have mind control, eye control, and emotion control to look forward to. Not to forget advances in 3D display technology.
On a more short term note, procedural gameplay, evolving narrative, advances in radiant AI. Hopefully next gen has enough memory and cpu power to provide these new experiences.
This year still had it's impact on me with Terraria, Pixeljunk sidescroller (that last level is amazing) and Dark souls. And the amazing HD version of Ico and SotC.
