They are looking for more than just mindless shooting.

I bet many of those gamers are absolutely loving Heavy Rain, then. It's not in first person, of course, but it offers a startlingly different and challenging take on what a game is traditionally supposed to be.
In which case, it seems to beg the question. What can the adventure game offer these gamers that would thrill and challenge them that the current glut of zombie/space marine/WWII shooters can't? Besides converting to real time 3D, wouldn't the adventure game have to have a major makeover in terms of gameplay and exposition? Or should it stay fundamentally the same?
