PlayStation hasn't had an interesting showcase in a long time. That's why I totally dropped the brand. I'm over these colorless, ultra-realistic, repetitive games. Even these Chinese games, supposed to be something fresh for the industry, are just generic games with hot girls. I'll never forget the day I saw the opening FMV for Chrono Cross on the PS1 at a cousin's house. To think my SNES RPGs now looked like that was mindblowing. That's when I fell in love with the brand, up until the PS4. Now I'm done.
Luckily, I've always been much more of a Nintendo fanboy, and stuck with them since the beginning, and never got disappointed (maybe a little with the Wiis).

I think you hit the nail on the head. Every game's combat looks the same, the themes are always the same, the colour palette just feels like the PS3 generation but with the contrast turned up and the protagonist is always either a "cool dude" or a "hot girl". I think that's why the Konami octopus game stood out so much; it was one of the only things there not overly serious and (apparently) with a hint of creativity.
