It seems we have hit the technology/price limit and at the same time Nintendo is expanding on different ways to use the Wii... Ideas will run out soon (We already have lots of sequals for games soon.) Wonder what route everyone will take in the next generation? |
I wouldn't say that sequels to first generation games implies that the developers are running out of ideas. I personally suspect it means that the games were considered very successful by publishers, and developers are taking it as an opportunity to expand upon their original efforts.
You have to consider that, while we're seeing sequels, new games like Bloom Blox are appearing which seem to be using the Wiimote in a clever new way (and at the same time are using a physics engine in a true gameplay defining way). At the same time, games like PES are also using the Wiimote far more intelligently than previous versions of the game, and the gameplay is evolving to become far deeper than was available in the previous generation.
