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?

Games that feel like tool-assisted speedruns have a lot more potential than Superhot’s last-scene-in-The-Matrix simulator. It should be a general compromise between turn-based and real-time combat. Like VATS without the menu. Looking is a free action. You don’t have to dodge bullets to make tactical combat more visceral and vice-versa.
