I think we partly agree - If we don't see (spiritual) sequels to Heavy Rain and L.A. Noire the hole thing will turn out as a niche sub-genre. I don't think the publishers with the big budgets will emulate Rockstar's and Sony's success if we don't see those sequels. But
if we do, at least one or two will make a big budget adventure-like game. Because that's how things usually work - big publishers go where the money is
And as I suggested, I think the market is more or less ready these days, when it comes to story games with adventure elements.
EDIT: Arh, I keep posting in a hurry, without proofreading, etc: I think most publishers will wait a few months and see if the sequels are successful. Kind of obvious, but you never know if people, and I don't blame them, read a forum post more or less 1-to-1
