Gameplay has become more automatic, especially in platforming. Auto grab, auto steer, camera looking towards where you have to go. In a lot of 3D games you only need to flick the stick vaguely in the direction the camera is pointing and press jump within a large forgiving window, the game will do the rest.
On a positive note, controls have become more standard than the old days. You don't need to get used to the camera movement in every new game.
