To be fair, Max Payne 1&2 were developed by Remedy, and LA Noire by that Australian studio that disappeared shortly after it launched.
With that said, it's what happens when you turn videogames into "cinematic experiences". Developments become more complicated and longer. Plus why making new games if the ones on the market still make a ton of money?
Also, have you seen the lack of originality? Rockstar made lots of different games, even the Midnight Club series, but all of that went to hell for the open world GTA and RDR games. At least Bethesda and Bioware try new things.
