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?
Views?

I remember the developers (Bullfrog I think?) of Dungeon Keeper did something like this on their site when they were making the sequel. I remember posting a bunch of stuff. Bet none of it got used...
Good idea - You could base it on a YaBB forum.
Why not check out www.yabbforum.com

www.whatgamerswant.com is infact already a site and is currently under development.

Bah, hope their site turns out pants.
Anyway if anyone is at all interested in helping out and seeing if we can get somewhere then let me know.
As they say. No harm trying....

Yes. That would be a good idea but one thing........ You can already do that here and at www.totalgames.net
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.

COFFEE RULES!!!!!!!!!!
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...

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.
