I’m replaying SUPERHOT (again) and it’s got such a great core mechanic that I can’t believe we’ve not seen more developers use it, or build around it.

What game mechanics seemed like they’d be the next big thing but …didn’t?

    I have yet to find a game that expresses power fantasy through movement like Warframe.

    Warframe movement is super smooth, very fast-paced, and yet extremely controllable and complementary of game mechanics.

    Bullter jumping across levels, bouncing on walls to turn around and unleash a burst of fire, super-jumping 30 feet high to get perfect view of enemies, it does everything perfectly. You absolutely feel like you’re a specter of death reaving though the battlefield.

    And every time I play a gamme, I feel glued to the ground and wished it has Warframe’s movement.

      Titanfall boiii!

      It’s not quite Warframe, but it’s damn good.
