The reason why most modern games are crap is because 2010's complexity to programming a new game beats the fantasy out of the software students' brains.
They are transformed from young men with fantasy into robotic databanks who can store a gazillion informations, like full-hd, environmental HDR, dolbysurrounded, triplebuffered, antialiased, softstenciled and physX'ed graphic engines. The minimum requirements to learn these is way too high, and so the gameplay suffers.
For most classic games it's the same problem, just that they have all the gameplay, but wish for better graphics. So I have an idea about Crysis and Dwarf Fortress getting married. Both run simultaneously on a computer, where DF occupies the CPU and Crysis occupies the graphic card. Everything that is happening in the CPU shall be passed on as ASCII-graphics to the graphic card, and Crysis picks those up and creates a vivid 3D-world on the monitor.
