I do agree games are changing, but something that shouldnt' have been missed, has been. FPS were indeed created by ID and thier masterful DOOM and Wolfenstein games, however it was not quake or any of its sequels, and especially not goldeneye which revolutionized the genre. It was a small budget, game, pulled from the files of a new gaming company, a project started and dropped and then restarted again. But for all its humble beginnings, it revolutionized the FPS genre, in my opinion, there will never be a better FPS.
Enter Halflife! :D
If anyone has played the single player experience, I'm sure you know what I mean. Add to this the sequels (Opposing force and Blueshift) and the mods (DoD and Counter Strike) and you have a truly endless game, as well made as any game has ever been. I agree that games are on a decline, many are clones and most use cliche stories, twisted slightly over and over again. Until I see a game that exceeds the greatness of halflife, my faith in the gaming industry will continue on its present course.
