I think we all want to see something new.
Last thing I want from CDPR is for them to start relying on formulas like another developer I know.(Or several I know really)
Here is one thing which I feel sorry for a lot of people for... that some seem to not be able to enjoy a game just because they have played something simmilar befor. I can't imagin having to live like that, where I would be unable to enjoy a new game just because it is very simmilar to a game I used to play.
That would suck, if I had to live like that, in my opinion atleast. I mean, if I had felt like this, then I would probably have stopped playing turnbased rpg games back around about 1999-2000'ish, after having played FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, Suikoden 1, Suikoden 2, and a few others. And if that had been the case, then I would never have found, played, and loved, Fallout 1 and 2, which I first found around 2000-2001'ish... the games which started me on my journey to become a predominantly pc gamer... neither would i have goten to play 2 out of my top 3 favorit FF games, and top 3 games in general for that matter... that of FFX and FFXII. Of course, they are not really turnbased, but in this case it would more be on the aspect of that X and XII are simmilar to previous FF games in various ways.
Basicly... the only criteria I really have for the games I play... is that they are in the genres I like, use the mechanics that I like, have a pretty good story, and are in general somewhat... well... good games. I could care less if they happend to be made with an identical formula as other games that I have played befor... as long as they are somewhat good and interesting.
Same with books, tv-series, movies, comics, etc, really. I would at this point in time not have anything left to read/watch anymore if my mind worked like that... which would suck, because I have a lot of freetime to fill. XD
Heck.. the entire reason that I like the things I like in general is because they follow specific predefined formulas to begin with. XD
