No such thing as Innovative anymore.

The ONLY thing really innovative had been real 3D introduced by the PS1 in 1994. Since then everything has been a rehash of the same thing. Right now the only two things driving games is graphics and story.

Gameplay hasn't been seen since the original Ninja Gaiden/Battletoads. Now everything is hand outs.
Most games out now uses EA's formula of the Madden curse. Same game with something different and if your lucky better graphics.

Real Innovation is when VR is properly up and fuctional for the masses. Til then all the games appeal is gfx and story. Period.

Oh your mistaken.

You see about a decade ago, Microsoft redefined 'innovative' to mean "Slapping a new look on someone else's years old idea and claiming it for yourself."

So you see almost every new game is 'innovative'.

Most of the innovations happened in the early 80's. That includes the first real 3D game.

Well the first video game was at MIT back in 1964 and all of 5 people saw it originally.
When I say Innovation I do not mean the creation of it. I mean it's mass use and appeal.

It is sad however that almost all tech today is just reinventing the wheel originally done in the 80s however. I keep thinking something occurred that created this tech boom of that era.
