If you could develop your own broadband based gaming network and had your own engineering and design team at your disposal... What feature would you invent or add, that would be completly different from anything, anyone has ever offered before ? and... what would be the benefit of adding this feature.
Thanks

Oh, and here's another one. How about an 11-a-side football game? 22 players battling it out on the green turf complete with voice contact via mic and headphones?
I mean, if SquareSoft can get hundreds online at the same time to battle monsters in Final Fantasy XI, why hasn't anyone yet produced a playable soccer game where only 22 players can get together to kick each other in the kneecaps?

Base it entirely on Bluetooth technology and be the first company to do so. Benefits include 'Play anywhere', you could go into partnership with 'Bluetooth receiver component' manufacturers and get a kick back on sales that way for a reciprocal share in turnover of your revenue.
Everything else has been done I think. One-off client download gaming sites already exist, as do pay per play sites, monthly fee sites, etc.
Failing the really expensive investment required to go down the Bluetooth route, have a sponsor for each game that you host give out a weekly prize for the 'best player' of that week. ('Best player would have to be predetermined by a number of different factors depending on the particular game). For example, if you hosted 'Counter Strike: Tactical Ops' you could have Sony as a sponsor and they could offer a Sony DVD/Widescreen TV for the player with the most kills that week. In return, Sony could have product placement in each game, e.g. a picture/link to their product on the login screen, or even a product placement in the game itself.
