Right, as usual alcohol makes us all come up with some weird ideas, and this is my latest one. No stealing it now..

A web page that allows gamers to submit their views on games. www.whatgamerswant.co.uk or something like that.
People would make views on what made a game good, what made it bad and what additions would make a similar game or sequel a lot better.

Then from there make an effort to get developers to actually look at it and if at all possible get some feedback from them.

Just a site where all the views can be gathered in one place.

So what do you think? Could it work, is there similar things already there?

Ok, have set up something very basic at the moment.
www.whatgamerswant.tk

Going to try get feedback on the idea from a few important sources and if it sounds like it could go somewhere I'll get a domain and produce a better site.

At the moment I wouldn't mind if a few of the more sensible ones on here could post a few ideas in the forum just to show the kind of thing to expect.
Cheers

Try gamesTM and/or Edge, they'll like the idea.

Ali, can you change my MSN addy on SO from my old one to my new one? :-)

Good thinking.
Need to get the details for developers now :-(

Where to look though? I'm pretty sure most don't disclose details.
Could always e-mail some games magazines as well I suppose.

I reckon first thing to do would be to E-mail some developers and ask if they'd accept external input from a site. If even one developer gives a positive response, then it'd be worth it because other developers may follow suit if the site becomes more popular.

Who knows, this could be the start of a gaming revolution...

Thats usually just a single forum for it though. This would be an entire site for it.
Has potential in my eyes if it was used by gamers and of course developers. Trouble is getting all the pieces of the puzzle to fit. I will make an effort though.
