have you ever thought of a game were you could make your own game ???

no says phil harrison its too complicated

no says bill gates its too expensive

no says EA no one will buy it

I choose the different ,I choose the impossible ,

I choose GAMER'S CHOICE

if sony and microsoft relesed all the tools for making games but it was shortned to make it easier and you got to make any game you wanted from mmorpg's to racing games to fighting games all from your home and when you finished making a game you submitted it into a youtube style comunity and everyone could download other peoples games

Making a quality game takes millions of dollars and hundreds of people with talent.

Why do people not understand this?

You can not compete.

Let me tell you something

If it was easy...Then everyone would do it.

If it was that easy to make a game on your own then no one would go out and buy games. Besides your not going to make the next Elder Scrolls oblivion or anything close to it. The most you could make was a lame graphics limited effects and a boring map that you know all the secrets to.

no kidding... AAA titles take hundreds of highly skilled and educated people with millions of dollars in resources at their disposal years to create.

of course as many gamers as there are out that. Many people have ideas but games that would be tight. But if you want an extremely grerat game that will sell, you should have:

-A nice development team

-Orchestra (for that quality environmet feel)

-Nice graphics (its a plus)

-A nice box design to advertise the game

-Lots of money to help create the game, along with more advertisement to get many to found out about the game.

(please let me know if I missed a few things, I know that isnt all)

Just some things like that. I not trying to down you or nothing, its just that its a little harder than it sounds.

Yeah I remember seeing that in a magazine once. But I think it required you to buy a PS1 that was for the tools/program.

Coding a Casino game in VB (a very basic simple program), took me over 215 pages of code and plenty of hours. Not to mention that it was just a bunch of pictures, obviously not 3-D in any shape or form. Now multiply the complexity of something like that times a million and you still probably only have a pretty crappy game. You don't seem to understand how difficult it is to come up with a concept, a plot line, a script, proper character design, intricate boss fights, camera angles, scenic level designs, voice acting, properly responsive controls, console optimization etc etc. Trust me, game making should be left to the professionals, the closest we'll ever get to making something for oursleves, will probably be Little Big Planet.

He might be onto something good. Sure you won't be getting AAA games and what not but think about games such as Everyday shooter. It wasn't a huge project and it still plays very well. If any of you are in the whole psp hack scene, there has been amazing development in terms of games made by hackers. All it does is give a freedom, it doesn't mean that we are forced to play them so there really is no loss. And if someone makes a cool game, what's not to like?

look at Newgrounds some of the games there have real quality, give people better tools then some Flash program and they could make a really good games. They would not be as good as real games, but they won't cost as much or their free.

It would be great to have the same tools as devs, But it would cost to much to disturbute it at a resonable price

There is already a game like that, i don't remember the name right now, but it's old, and never had such many features, and still, why would you want a game that's a game creator, you should just start building your own game and that's all

I tryed game design before and it is hard even making a simple game like mario or pacman. Not worth my time. Game design is cool but not, but not fun in my opinion. I even used a thing that is called gamemaker which makes a game easier to make but it is still pretty hard to use.

yea that is a close as your dream is gonna get right now.

i mean I think it is possible to make older version of games like nintendo and maybe supernintendo games with VERY VERY ADVANCED tool kits but even that is stretching it.

I mean I am not gonna sit up here and say that it is impossible for that to happen anything in gaming is possible, but you must understand how many years and hard work it takes to make a game now adays...

But as a dream that would be very cool... and whoever made that game I would like to get them married into my family...lol

Good thought though

and come on people stop bashing him... he is just thinking and saying how cool that would be.

Everyday shooter was made by 1 person. PLenty of games were made with very few people. How can YOU not understand this?

Anyone can make games if given the design engine to work with. Give people the opportunity and it's possible for them to bring creativity to a growingly stale market. Right now we are flooded by crap-ware. Most of the games we play are just rehashes of games we've already played a dozen different variations of. Another first-person shooter, anotehr movie-tie-in-game,more sports. Originality please.
