Have game developers run out of ideas. Nintendo is an example they keep on bringing out the same games e.g. Metroid, Super Mario, Super Smash Bro's. Don't get me wrong I love most of these games I think they are superb but I have to question developers ideas cause we seem to be going round in circles. Most of the best games out now are a series e.g. GTA, Final Fantasy, Mario and Luigi and 007. I think we could help them out by sending them ideas of what kind of games we want.
Please feel free to critise and post your opinions. Could we gamers start a whole new type of games? I would to see more reality games but would that be too boring. Personally I am not that entertained with the Sims I think EA Games are milking the game for all its worth because they just keep on bringing out more expansion packs when they should just bring out one game that consists of all the expansion packs.
I personally are a massive fan of the Final Fantasy series but I question that squaresoft is running out of ideas the scenarios are just getting repetitive and frankly a bit boring. *Shudders* I cant believe that Nintendo haven't yet released a new Secret of Mana. If they did I for one would definitely buy I am hugely entertained by it and it is getting sold on ebay for the SNES for a lot of money even the people with the boxes for it are getting a bit of dosh. Why? You ask, simply because it boosts the price.
Has anyone heard anything about another GTA cause I thought it wasn't as good as the GTA3 probably because where it was set. I like grim streets of Liberty city compared to the Palm Trees of Vice City. I was able to play GTA3 again and again. This frankly didn't bore me but I just can't be bothered even completing GTA:VC again it was a struggle even for me to finish it. The only reason I did eventually finish it is because I was getting made fun because I hadn't finished it.
Should be games longer than the already are? Max Payne and State Of Emergency for the PS2 are examples. I finish Max Payne in 3days and the same for State of Emergency I had to take them back to the shops I bought them from and get a new game. Remember feel free to critise and post your opinions.

Yeah but you think they could read some novels and get ideas from that or just sit down put a list ideas down and work from that or they could ask gamers for help.

True!Sercet of Mana is very similar to Final Fantasy but it seems that squaresoft seem to make and have made alot of RPG's along the years. I thought Final Fantasy 7 is the best in the FF series and probably always will be because it was a cracking storyline and the characters were very cool looking and its graphics were like nothing before it. The Tomb Raider series has never appealed to me(Lara has)but I have read a review of the Angel of Darkness and I think I heard it has some esponiage in it am I right?
The problem is the duplicity, no, the outright hypocrisy of the average gamer.
They all want to jump up and down screaming for original games, and yet, when an original game comes out, they'll leave it on the shelf, terrified that it doesn't compute and conform to normality, and then pick up Tomb Raider Chronicles or something.
It's enough to make me sick.

Well...it's hard to make a genuinely new and original game because you can't bank on its success. Jet Set Radio, Rez, Monkey Ball - they're all great and innovative but they didn't sell by the bucketloads which is a shame. Franchises seem to have the rule of the roost and since games are a big business, they'll continue to get the backing of our hard earned money or producer's money.
BTW - Secret of Mana was a Squaresoft game. I'd like to see a sequel in conjuction with Nintendo but FF could be very good. I like the idea of the multiplayer role playing game. It's similar to Secret of Mana in that respect.
