Gaming concepts

[retrolinkx]

TL;DR the thread.

If I get what you're saying, I do believe that people in the industry are running out of ideas but normal people like you and me haven't.

If many of us who have these ideas get into the industry and somehow get these games into the market we could see some nifty decent games.

I have ideas for games, one of them is an prison in which people have to fight in to get out, they fight in a cage. You fight in groups of five and you have to take down another group of five which the guards choose, the main character would be a sort of grimdark faggot who doesn't tell people why he is here, but eventually does, the game would be similar as the Warriors game play wise, and the prisoners and guards will throw stuff into the cage that you could use (rocks, bricks, chairs, sometimes even a gun) and the story would sort of movie like, cutscene wise, you also have to train your character like in Ready to Rumble to put up his strength, stamina etc. (I know this isn't a thread to show off gaming ideas, but it's just an example of what I could think of for a game)

I'm not saying that we need more idea guys, but if the concept can be remade to be different, then it could change the concept to be different for everyone else.

Take FPS's, that used to be arcade shooting, now there is realism and arcade, there are even TPS's now.

Strategy have changed to be TBS and RTS.

Believe me, we haven't run out of ideas yet, but in terms of something revolutionary (2D to 3D for example) won't happen for a long time.

I believe the above is relevant if I read everything correctly.
