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 )

nah that's not opinion, that's objectively true. Everyone has their own tastes and grown up in different eras, so they appreciate originality differently than say someone like me who has been around since before nes. (I also think this gen is more original than any previous gen. It's exploding with indie titles and new ways to play)
