I think objectively 2D to 3D was a massive jump. Also the FPS genre which is maybe the most successful gaming genre of all time being invented. Can't even think of a new genre of game that's been created in the last 10 years. I guess the sandbox game Minecraft was a little over 10 years ago, that's one.

Even Minecraft didn't really invent the sandbox, it just polished and popularized it.

A new genre in the last 10 years? Probably nothing really. We're probably past the point of new genres being invented until the technology dramatically changes.

We'll see some wild Genre Fusion though. I'm excited for that. I can't wait to see what happens when we stop just stapling "RPG" to every genre and start to really innovate.

That's not true, we now have strand-type games. ;)

Maybe VR? But it hasn't really burst into the mainstream in spite of it being there and usable for the last decade or so.

VR hasn't solved the problem of "legs". Which are pretty important in FPS.

It's great for playing games based on standing in one place and blasting, but that's the same genre as Time Crisis and Duck Hunt.

VR was also a massive jump from 3D.
