<<<"There's a dreadful shortage of new game ideas actually being developed
......bean counters in charge all follow
the sequels = guaranteed profit mantra......
Same thing Hollywood ...... crappy sequels and "remakes".>>>>
True ..."Call Of Duty: Die Hard With Online Elder Scrolls Hobbit"
"The imaginations are out there....."
I don't know so much....Comp. gaming is 30+ years old.
It can't be 'New' & exciting for ever.
A 20 something programmer must see the industry as dull & uninviting
The hardware advances drive a lot of new-ness in game design.
IMO there has not been any meaningful hardware advances in (say) 10 years.
Just bigger, faster, more glossy...not new.
If the computers/consoles were (say) ten times faster than now
their ability in terms of A.I. & game structure complexity would be
not much more. Online Multiplayer advances also IMO has hit a ceiling.
