Most of the game out for the generation and I mean the 3D or in other words, 7th gen games only focused on giving players the feel of action. MGS4 would be an example that the game itself blended in a vast amount of blockbuster scenes, good story telling as well as givingp players enough action. In other words, developers now should focus on telling a good story and I don't mean some cutscenes while giving players alot of action. Throughout much of my experience playing PS3 games, the most depressing would be Dark Sector.
Also, given the proliferation of financial difficulties due to piracy and other sorts of I dont know what, multiplatforming is exactley one of the reasons why they cant make something like MGS4, in terms of story and good script. They focus on the money first. If you look at previous games like Golden Axe beast rider, it offers decent gameplay (still needed much improvement) but lacks a story and features only cutscenes which portrays and informs the user that it is the next area they need to arrive/get to. Games like Resident Evil 5, offers good gameplay in their own concept (3rd person) but still lack a better story to portray character emotions, like putting a camera in a room and watching them interact with each other, Chris and Sheva. Because most of the cutscenes are a few minutes long: Sheva, this way, take cover! then it moves to gameplay. There are some scenes which offer a decent amount of action in RE5 but it needs alot more... MGS4 magnum opus; portraying that once was, epic, brilliant and awesome storytelling.
