I can't wait for us to move away from the AAA model. I want to see experimental stuff, unique ideas, trial and error etc.
Look at the types of games released in the PS1 days, then look at the PS2 days, there was still great variety, lots of chancer games but nowhere near as varied as the ideas being thrown around with the PS1. Come the 360/PS3 era, it had got to the point where nobody dared take risks, all focus was on technological prowess and appealing to the widest demographic possible,
It looks like the industry is starting to correct itself again. I hope Sony can pull off the whole having the broad content of the PS1 days.
The hardware is good enough now, any game should look good enough even with a modest budget. Lets start seeing more cheaper projects which don't need to be such huge hits to break even and get all experimental again.
