Classic homage ahoy? Looks alright...

Like certain genres. Most games that come out now fall into a handful of genres. Way, way back it used to be a single guy could make a game all by himself. Now that games take millions of dollars to produce companies aren't willing to take a chance on something unproven unless it's from someone like Shigeru Miyamoto or Hideo Kojima. I think that when money enters into things the art suffers for it.

All definitely true. But a lot of modern games are good too... they just aren't as innovative, overall. And yes, the larger the team gets the more the vision is probably going to be compromised... not always true, but with a small group there certainly is more potential for focus.
