Are videogames dying in terms of creativity and innovation?

Pretty obvious what I'm asking here. Are they dying in your opinion? In mine they are. There isn't anything innovative or new nowadays. The same games over and over and over again, SLIGHTLY better graphics and textures, a little different gameplay mechanics but in general it's all the same. And in all honesty the grand majority can't hold my attention for 1 hour. We've had lots of the same for the past few years. It's like devs are just set on recycling ideas, making sequels, making -blam!-ing HD remakes of games that haven't even been out for 3 years. And everyone just eats it all up. Seriously the mainstream gamers are the same as the people that listen to mainstream music. No thinking or anything, they just eat everything big corporations throw at them and act like it's awesome. No critical mentality, brain is always off. I love videogames and it saddens me that the market has gone so stale and so devoid of creativity and innovation. So give me your opinions guys. Let's have a nice discussion about a topic that surely everyone would find relevant around here.

  • Personally I think gaming has taken a step backwards, all we get lately are sequels which are reskinned and touched up slightly which are definite sellers (looking at cod and AC) or brand new titles that are having to be overhyped to stand a chance (destiny and watchdogs are good examples) The gaming community have become very demanding in what they want and if something goes slightly wrong then forums explode about it, the beta for evolve is a good example, I've seen thread after thread slamming the game in its beta. The problem lies with both the community and developers. Developers turn out half a game, or a game that's unplayable, players demand too much and a lot of the time just complain instead of giving good feedback. But considering we'll still spend money on games, developers will keep giving out these sorts of games, I'm not sayin stop buying games but developers need to focus more on the game than the money, go back to the 90s and look at games then, good graphics and amazing stories not like now where it's the other way around
