IMO it will be the hybridization of 3 genres: FPS, Sandbox and RPG. Developers will try and cash in on them, some will succeed (Borderlands is a good example) some wont (Crysis probably wont be a sustainable franchise long enough).

You just described the fallout games. 

Yes and no. Yes in the sense that the Fallout games (after 3) had all the elements, no in the sense, that RPG will probably take a step back and shooting/cinematic "WOW" moments will be in front.
