The Last of Us demo is coming in two weeks.

This game is all but original :)
Like many game it will have good graphics, maybe a good story and gameplay... But nothing very original in it.

OP: I think that it is too risky for big publishers/developes to come out with new IPs and esp. new gender.
It is a bet they are not willing to take that late in a console cycle. I really first person games because I find them very immersive; the majority of these games are shooters but you also have other kind of games like Skyrim etc... With the new Xbox / Playstation coming out; we will certainly see some publishers/developers taking some risks and I would not be surprised to see some new and original games :)

Also a shooter can come out with a lot of original ideas...
People should be more open when they are looking for originality. I did not see a lot lately I have to admit but any type of game can bring their own piece of originality. :)

I'd say last of us while perhaps not original (like Halo), are evolving the third person combat/adventure gameplay.
Everything you've seen in the trailer was real time, non-cutscene, non-scripted. Gamers were seriously calling Naughty Dog liars.

Minds were blown.
