Well, I'm not saying that "in the past, everything was better". That's not true at all. But it astonishes that, while hardware, graphics and sound have tremendously increased in quality, the gameplay hasn't. In fact, in Doom 3, there was no evolution at all! It's just getting more cineastic...
Let's hope that it's not as bad as Doom 3 in matters of interactivity. Do you remember that, after the first Doom there was Duke Nukem, where you could interact in a lot of ways with the 3D environment. There were more things to do, special weapons, cameras, holoduke etc. That was then. But now, in 2004, the level of interactivity hasn't increased at all. With some exceptions, like Deus Ex and System Shock, it's still the same game as 10 years ago. Has gameplay been replaced by hype?
