Pretty much every 8th gen game follows the design philosophies of its 7th gen predecessors but tarts up the visual polish. Even the consoles themselves are pretty much just more powerful PS3s and 360s.

I see. I thought you were going to name a few titles that went for originality yet sold poorly.

Aside from the indie scene, where small budgets make risk more viable, originality is, in my humble opinion, very rare this gen. Nobody wants to take the chance of investing in an unproven idea for fear that it will fail. Established formulas are a safe bet that you can attach a lot of money to without much fear of it backfiring.
