Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

NEWS FLASH: Sony STEALS ideas and calls it INNOVATION.

Apprantly I can see some Nintendo fanboys on this forum!! Heck I like all of the componies and I h8 fanboys!! Dear God try something new for once! Nintendo is spiralling down cause they make TOO MANY mario games!! They r reling on this icon to lead them and that's not really a good idea!!! So that's wat I think bout then!!
 
If you go by the overuse of icons, then Sony's just as bad for overusing FF as its flagship title, especially FF7.
 
MS can't really be accused due to its still-short console history, but we all know xbox = halo. So yeah, they've all got their iconic mascots.

Well, as far as overused mascots go, I prefer Master Chief to Cloud.

Blasfamey!!!! J/K Master Chief is cool but I pick Cloud over him any day becuase the master just reminds me of the fall of gamers who like more than just mindless shooters ><

FF is over used mostly because of square, what makes alot of Sonys games over used is the fact PS2 we seen the same games as PS1 just with a bigger number as in being sequel, and PS3 is gonna be no different, so finally when PS3 comes out, alot of gamers is gonna shove it to the side while the Wii and 360 get better.
 
I don't know about that logic. Sequels have worked well for some time, it seems; I'm not sure what there is to indicate they'll stop working now.
 
FINLLY SOMEONE WHO NOS WAT THEY R TALKIG ABOUT!!!! Ppl from Nintendo and Sony and Microsoft need to stop iconising and acutually think of something then the games that made them so rich!!!
Nintendo OVERALLY uses Mario
Sony OVERALLY use Final Fantasy
Microsoft OVERALLY uses Master Chief!!!
The Gaming World is like HollyWood they can't think of anything new that ACUTUALLY WORKS!!!! Cause in the Gaming world it's always either a
First Person Shooter ( Mostly Microsoft!!) Most of the time!!
Action Games ( All 3 r to blame!!)
Role Playing Games ( Sony is cleraly guilty of that!!) Most of the time!!
Platformer Games ( Nintendo all the way on this one!!) Most of the Time
Sports games ( Also Nintendo cause the Mario sports count too!!) Most of the time!
Real Time Strategy ( Pc's r the one's behind this!!)
Dancing or Music Making ( All 3!!)
That's mostly wat I can think of!
Now in Hollywood there r
Action Films
Horror Films
Sci-Fi Films
Comedy Movies!! This also includes spoofs!!
Romance Movies ( or said in a high pitched voice) MOVIES
That's all I can think of for now!!

"Snakes on a plane! We got [bleep] snakes on a plane!"

But anyway, the gaming industry is just plain dead because of how big-business it's become. Why else has Final Fantasy gone from a high-fantasy, D&D-like setting to a techno-fantasy invariably starring an angtsy teenager with an unrealistic sword? Why else have adventure games gone into nothing but action games, where aside from the few games where the skill is in avoiding combat, the idea is to be killing things?

Here and here are some good articles on the matter. It really goes into why innovation is being killed off.
 
While I agree with the whole issue of game production becoming more and more expensive, with the main improvement being graphical, casuing a lack of experimentation, I don't know about the genre deal. The idea that innovation is best in the form of new genres could be flawed... When you have genres as general as "action," there's a lot of leeway for new and different ideas that still technically fit within existing genres.

Maybe we're apporaching the limits of what a modern control setup can accomplish in terms of genre and can try to change that to trigger innovative enough games to have their own genres (can't have much of a fighting game with just a joystick and a button, right?).
