I am eager to find out what they do with L.A.Noire. I also liked Shenmue a lot, never got to finish it though since the Dreamcast was only on loan (and I played Grandia2 with it first). I think there is room for more open adventure games. Atm they are also either half action or rpg but I don't think they'd have to be so. Action elements alone I don't really care about but RPG action is sometimes very much at place. RPGs can become a grind though so it would be refreshing to have the grand adventures without excess monsterkilling and this is where more open adventures could come into the picture.
