Why does a franchise which has been critically acclaimed have to innovate again? 

 

Does that mean I have to go to the next Star Wars movie expecting that it is going to innovate? Or do I have to go to the next sports game hoping they innovate? Video games are entertainment. Stregthening on what made the last games excellent is plenty enough. So OP is actually quite right on the mark.

Innovative.... That just sounds dumb to me when we are in an industry where IP iteration is the norm not the exception. 

My point is that a reviewer might think that not being innovative can deduct points of a score. It's not my personal POV unless the franchise is annualized and gets tiresome. More than innovation, it'd a matter of milking a franchise. Obviously that's not the case with Uncharted.
