<<<Are you suggesting that the game industry get creative? :) I think you are right, but for the most part the only thing increasing 3D performance is used for is making the next FPS/RTS/sports game look prettier. >>>

Agreed. But I can't stop harping about LucasArts. There is a perfect example of character over content. They've used technique over technology IMHO. I've played 'em all folks and I gotta say that kilin' ain't what it used to be. You see FPS can survive quite well provided you stimulate the mind as well as the emotions. Success is going to be easier if you have a good base. Lucas built on Star Wars and the object isn't to kill, kill, kill. With Jedi-Dark Forces II you get a more quest-like feeling as you move from level to level. Killing is a necessity not the object. I don't know, I just got that kind of a feeling from it. Outlaws was similar. You knew what your objective was early on and the levels built on themselves. With Duke and Quake is was on to the next level and kill everything as the objective. It is easy to believe that the majority of gamers are adolescents but if truth be known I would bet the majority are in the 20-40 year old range. And it doesn't take them long to realize if whether a game is condescending. They will appreciate a well thought out game over a mish-mash of the same thing over and over.
