Stop and think about some of your favourite games. Do they have any serious flaws in them? Could you make them a little better?
What I want you to think about is should developers try and get more help before finalising a game? Maybe by asking fans and gamers like us or maybe combine with another developer and both work on the same game.
I think that both these ideas would improve games, a combination of both could help to produce great quality games that will sell like hot cakes.
Think about it for a moment.
you run around shooting badguys left, right and centre while you try and escape a building with graphics and gameplay like red-faction then you stumble across a car park and steal a car. The game then involve you having to drive to your secret hideout. Maybe driver style or something with GT3 style graphics. Then if this dosn't show a way of being really succesful you ask everyday gamers like people that come on here how they think the game should play. Get input from those who know best, the people who play them all the time.
I think developers work on their own too much, I know its probably because they want more money and even though their games aren't the best they could be people still buy them. But maybe some developers will realise that working alongside others could help produce games that are greater than those already out today.
This may even help them get more money (At the end of the day thats what they want). Surely better quality games would sell more?
So what do you think? Would you like to see developers work together for some games or would you like to see them ask gamers for advise. Answers to the usual address please. (HERE)

In a perfect world developers shouldn't have to ask everyone to help them make a game or ask people what they want in a game because those things are their jobs - they should already know how to make good games people actually want. However, as this rarely happens, developers definately should ask around to make sure they make a decent game.
Yeah maybe game develepors should team up and make games together, two top quality developing teams can only produce good things.
I also agree that developers should ask fans what they want, on their websites or something a simple pole would do just as long as the public get to have their input into the game and seeing as it would be what they want they would be more likely to buy it which as you said is what the developers want.
I think that say developers like Nintendo/Sony/Sega/Rare etc should have say a compo where people e-mail them with a few ideas they would like a game based around on and what things they would want to see in it. This would then let companies have time to create a game the public wants for their next gen machine.
I mean dosent everyone want a choice in the games they buy?

After reading lots of PC Formats, I have come to the conclusion that Black and White is very flawed.
