Oh, there are attempts at bringing the old style back. I mean, look at the new franchises - Dead Space is quite immense, The Elder Scrolls are doing perfectly fine, Fallout has never been as colourful as today, Wasteland is getting a sequel and dungeon crawlers are slowly getting back into the mainstream with titles like Legend of Grimrock, The Dark Spire or even Etrian Odyssey.
I think we have a bright future ahead of us as long as we open our eyes, start buying the "good" games and stop putting more water on the mill of those which are not good and are only "going on thanks to their namesake".
Normally I'd name a few titles here, but I'd probably get stoned for it.
