What if in the future there is no knew ideas and we are stuck with the same games all the time. At the moment I guess it is not really that big a problem because there is actually a lot of games with new ideas, take Black and White, its a god sim but like no other really and it was a brave choice to bring out such a game at this time.

Well what other kind of games are there around to develop on in the future not really many I guess.

Sports - Fifa year in year out - they even brought out Cricket if thats not running low on sport games ideas what is?

History - History? some of you may say. All the games like Age of Empires 2, Caesar, WW2 games all running low on ideas soon, you can't really make up the past can you?

Racing - All you do is go round a track and all they can do in future is update graphics

Fighting - I suppose is one area that may last a long time before the gamers get fed up of constant shooting.

Simulations - Good area, combat flight, The Sims and there is a few intersting Sims coming out this year, this could last long

Well what do you think? will games ave new ideas every now and then? or will be stuck with sequels and copies of others? Well I guess we will never know until the future, crazy business gaming :D

Imagine a game where you own a games company and you have to lead it to success!!

You would have to develop the right games and choose right developers etc.

On the subject, remember Airport great idea for game but was poor but that is what will be needed in future for ideas!

If we get desperate we could get stuff like McDonalds worker Sim or Sim Cafe owner

All they can do in RAcing games is improve the graphics yes but they add more realism to the game.
