And seriously, why does it feel like everyone expects "new ways to play" to only come from gimmicky hardware rather than the actual games? 

 

Because many game styles have been stagnant for the last couple generations, we get the same old FPS and other genres we've had for decades. And it's amazing how some people completely lack imagination & think that a dual analog controller is the ultimate evolution & there's no need to improve it anymore. 

I never said that. I agree that we should improve it, but I don't think gimmicky features or motion controls like kinect or the wiimote "improves" hardly anything... all it does is simply change the method of input, a lot of the time simplifying and limiting gameplay possibilities to great extents. I'd rather us build on designs that work. That's not to say the experimental, "innovative" shit doesn't have its place, it does, but as peripherals and not the default input device.
