Where I think it's going: more shiny AAA titles who do their best to make things explode as much and as shiny as possible, more gameplay gimmicks from the motion department, even less gameplay and more scripted events, and of course a lot more rebirths because omg who knows what havoc fresh ideas might bring.

Where I hope it's going: I hope Dark Souls 2 will be good. Amazingly good. And then they end the series like proper legend.
