Uncharted looks like Last of Us looks Infamous looks like the new God of War in the long, drawn out, masturbatorily cinematic sections they tend to like to show at those things. I'm not sure that would really hold up if you compared the entire first party line ups, but it's definitely something that occurred to me. |
I think this is largely true across all platforms and all AAA developers. Games are *mostly* the same as the games that came before. That's natural. Huge money is spent making most big games. Risks, such as trying unproven mechanics or genres, are very difficult to justify. Many millions can be lost if things don't work out as hoped.
