We are getting lots more variety in games very recently that we just weren't getting last-gen IMO. Genres considered niche weren't being made as they were deemed unprofitable because every game had to sell like 5 million (like EA with Dead Space). Games became so homogeneous whether it was a shooter (1st/3rd-person) or open world game. Just about every game with melee combat used Arkham combat. Even a series like Hitman tried to go all mainstream last-gen. There's been a great push from the mid-tier market successfully bringing back genres.
It's true that I have noticed a resurgence in certain types of games that were few and far between last gen (on consoles). I was surprised to see a game like Thimbleweed Park available for PS4, for example.
Developers also seem to be making an effort to remake loads of much older games, rather than just remastering newer stuff. I never thought Wonderboy the Dragon's Trap (Originally for Master System) would be available on PS4.
