Yes, and it can be a great thing if done right. However, a major shift like this at this time is rarely done well, and just making some twist for the sake of it has ruined quite a few movies. When you start off a movie as a merry musical about the toils of the farmer and then suddenly switch to slasher horror (or the other way round), you better do it well and still do not alienate the crowd that came in for the original movie.
And also, if all games suddenly introduced a random mob of guys to gangbang the girls, that wouldn't subvert any expectation anyway, since after a while we'd get used to it. So maybe one can pull it off, that doesn't mean that the others are lacking. Even if most games only tried some kind of twist like that, not all the same, we'd only wait for the twist. And never know beforehand whether or not we really like a game.
