Hmm this is a hard question. I'd like to say Splatoon, Bloodbourne and The Witcher 3. Problem is... Most of the ideas and systems in Bloodbourne are indeed just the ground work from the original Demon Souls (so it would be credited for genre defining right?). Splatoon despite being a quirky and fun game is not exactly revolutionary or extraordinary in any particular area and it wasn't genre defining either. Closest of these titles IMO would be The Witcher 3 because it did raise the standard significantly but it does have weak areas that have burdened the franchise from the beginning making me feel unsure if I would qualify it... On top of that I also don't like the idea of talking about a "sequel" in such regard either personally.
Dunno, just my opinion. Horizon seems like it could be something special. I get the feeling it will be designed too mainstream to achieve that, if you know what I mean. I think it's possible the game will end up playing it too safe to be genre defining and mearly one of many great games we've already had so far.
TBH I don't really worry about this much... I mean if all I got were games that expanded off it's predecessor's Ill be happy. It's the main reason I don't have much interest in playing an FPS or RTS and several other genres in VR. I know what I like to play and it's not like it's a frontier for "new" ideas as it is new gimmicks. Different ways to play being revolutionary would mean having a racing wheel would count and most people don't care for that. Though VR can reach further I imagine but you all get the idea.
Kind of hard to really pin point an ideal mentality for this, little to vague of a topic for me. lol
