When you're spending $300M on a game budget you don't want to take a lot of risks. But I don't think there's any lack of creativity coming from the market as a whole. Most dire pronouncements on the state of games are only really true if you ignore indies.

Like honestly, I think GOW and Spider-Man and Horizon are fine, but I'd rather see Sony put out several AA games that take risks than crank out another sequel to those.
