When will we see the next "genre/generation defining" game??

No, I largely consider Gears to be a refinement of Resident Evil 4, which is genre defining. See? Obvious problem.

I disagree on that, but agree to disagree there. I can see how you would view it as a refinement, but I think the difference between the two games is too massive to simply be considered a refinement.

Yeah, I had this discussion a couple of times in a few places over the years. I was actually originally on the other side, for the record. But this is what I'm referring to generally: it's rare for there to be a general consensus on what a genre-definer is!
