2 dimensional boards played with pieces representing 2 dimensional points on that board. In gaming this would translate to the Atari-style of gaming we used to love. |
That's good, but it doesn't show some kind of "natural progression". My problem with that concept is that it defines game development that is on some kind of mono-linear track, with every game heading in the same direction. That's asinine, why would all games have to develop the same way? Why wouldn't there be alternative, creative styles of development?

Well the ultimate level of immersion would be to actually put you in the game, ala Virtual Simulation (ex: Lawnmover Man). |
This is highly debatable. Some games have a pure purpose to immerse you, yes, but why should all games try to do only that? Do you have a problem with other people preferring other play-styles?

NOW I understand how difficult people can be about a 15 year-old gaming style. |
The 45-minute press demo, I saw it at GDC. It showed few of the elements you named. That doesn't mean they won't be in the game per definition, it just means they haven't been spotted yet.
And I don't see anyone being difficult, really.
