Ratchet Nexus felt like a nice return to the start of the gen and a little bit fresh (despite being exactly the same) especially if you skipped the crap ones!
Yeah, I do feel that gaming is falling apart. A strong PS4 and XB1 are probably good, but I still don't think it is going to end all that well. Just look at the percentage of the total sales of all HD games that were taken up by FIFA, CoD, AC and GTA. I haven't checked the numbers myself, but I am going to suggest that it is an alarmingly large percentage.
The problem is, the market for most games has not grown at anywhere near the growth of their budgets and that's a problem that's not going away

also the price has stayed the same since the NES era about while production costs have continued to grow. Some devs know how to manage their money though. Infamous hasn't sold AMAINGLY but it remains profitable enough to make sequels.

Just about. It's still not very healthy is it when a game requires 2-3m sales. More developers need better control like Sucker Punch (and ND are quite cheap). They also need to reduce marketing budgets, since it's absurd that they often spend as much on that as they do on the actual game
