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.

Oh definitely... I think the game will look fantastic; but nothing to do with originality.
To be honnest, Halo 4 is not original in any way to me, even if I'm a big fan of the story/universe/gameplay :)
Now, I think games can be good even without being especialy original... Halo 4 is a good exemple.
Also, I think it is a matter of perception. Some people will find one game original and other people will not; and gameplay/story may also play a huge part into the oppinion (this my oppinion at least 
)
