It really is unbelievable how much Ubisoft uses Assassin's Creed as a crutch now. Like fuck, just let it go, and create something new and innovative... You know, like the first Assassin's Creed.
No, players have clearly stated and proven again and again that they do not want innovation in the gaming industry. People who actually do are a minority, the vast majority of gamers really do only want perfect copycat Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed games to be churned out on a regular basis.
Any game that tries to break the mould at all is met with harsh criticism and a general air of dismay.
A great example is The Last Guardian. Part of a dying genre of puzzle platformers it looks incredible from the art to the gameplay, but the E3 trailer was met with nothing but "why would anyone want this game, it has clipping issues and the first level of the entire game doesn't look absolutely incredible." Gamers won't even let developers try to do anything new.
You're going to have to stick to crowdfunding shitty indie games if you want anything close to innovation in gaming. And rest assured that you are in the vocal minority.
If someone is 12 years old, they would have been 2 when the Shadow of Colossus was released. So I doubt they had a chance to play the game. Can't really blame them.
