Anyway, I'd agree that the adventure genre is definitely lacking in innovation and originality.
Change the basic formula too much and it's not an "adventure game" anymore; it becomes a sub genre. Nobody makes side-scrolling beat em ups anymore, which was a popular genre in the 90's. The 3D beat em ups that are being made today are not consider as the same type of game as the side-scrollers because the game play is too different. The same thing would happen with the adventure game if people lost demand for it, it would become extinct and a new sub-genre of the original would take over.
