That's two big risks that paid off for game developers this year (the first being MHW).

 

Hopefully this leads to a trend of trying new things.

And horizon zero dawn last year. That's 3 games on playstation within 13 months of each other all taking big risks and blossoming on playstation. Sonys platform never stays still. Games always evolving and I think that's why the ps4 is king. 

I was moreso implying with existing IP. 

 

Monster Hunter made a daring move back to console and away from Nintendo, which numerous people predicted would spell the game's doom. Not only that, but it made the first radical change to gameplay since Tri's involvement of water combat.

 

And now God of War is following suit, shaking up the gameplay and throwing it far away from the series' original style (and origin, moving from Greek to Norse).
