The reason is that we are starting to hit the ceiling with what can be done with standard games. With fighting games, what more can be done other than increasing the amount of characters? What new things are coming other than enhanced visuals? More of the same is something that we should never accept. I see so many critisisms of games like Heavy Rain, Dear Esther, and Asura's Wrath that they can be only loosely defined as games. We should see this as a good thing. Original experiences are healthy for the mind and I see too many critics wishing for the same gameplay we have seen. I don't ever see this same thing done with movies. In fact those movies are usually the best recieved. I think some people can be more accepting of these games. When a game provides a movie like experience, I love it as I think combining mediums is one of the best things you can do.
