Games and originality

[loadedstatement]

Do you believe the gaming industry is losing its originality. When there is one idea it seems like every publisher jumps on it and it loses its affect. Example:

Dark and light worlds-LOZTP, MP2, and numerous others.

Were wolfs- zelda, the new sonic, okami, ect.

I also firmly believe that FPS are a genre that is severly afflicted by the fact that games aren't original and this inturn limits the gaming experience. Many FPS have become genric and have similar story lines involving space marines and what not.

Solution: I believe that downloadable contenet will let indie publishers show their creativity and give the gaming industry a much needed surge.

Any thoughts.

 Light/Dark words - paper mario

 

And I think there is a ton of shovelware coming out these days.  But I think there has always been crappy games.  We just soon forget them and only remember the greats.  When Hannah Montana DS outsells Layton 4 times over in America, something has gone wrong.
