uuummm good ideas just too bad they are already taken, gamesradar is a site that gives developers crap for being unoriginal but this is really hypocritical. All the ideas you have are stolen from other games save for tony hawk which you said the remedy was to stop releasing them. Silent Hill=condemned, Matrix=mirrors edge, GTA=Mass Effect and castlevania=bioshock in a castle w/ swords. what gives?

sorry for the double (now triple) post, im just getting used to this gamesradar comenting buisness

theres nothing wrong with using a good idea even if you didnt discover it
example
mass effect = KOTOR 1&2, fallout... etc
and dont forget that each editor has their own opinions (search 'why games arent scary')
now the glitched pop ad stuck on my screen, the videos chewing up my internet connection, the massive amount of pop-ups and the awsome articles forcing me to put up with this crap is something to gripe about.

im hoping that the massive amount of nothing to buy in GTA will be aleviated with DLC
and farcry2's open mission style would be mint!
"sniper rifle? rocket launcher? assault rifle? IED? garh! so many choices!"

They are giving something to compare to, they could just use words, but then people will take thigns differently and nobody can no for sure what they mean, but by making a comparison like " game x should do something like gameplay mechanic x from game y"

People get pop-ups on this site?

I use firefox and AdBlockPlus and I have never had one. The only annoyance I have is videos playing automatically.

Wow, I have to say that these suggestions are pretty much brilliant. As a devoted-but-frustrated fan of both Silent Hill and Castlevania, I pray that Konami reads GamesRadar!

I totally agree. GTA is awesome, but adding a deeper morality element would make it even better.

I was one of the few people i know who played Enter the Matrix, and i loved it. If you add Mirror's Edge gameplay to that, it would be so much better, i've had that idea ever since ME hit the radar. And oh man if they made a RPG GTA, i wouldnt be able to put that controller down
haha another great article GR

Zelda would turn out jus like Jak2/3 with swords and backtracking, although i do admit it would be cool

I liked the last pic for GAT.
"Don't hurt me. I love the shield." or
"What smells like bacon." [shoot to kill]
Classic!

i agree with gta and silent hill...i mean gta would be better as i thought there was no real noticable differences if i killed or saved someone...also i want it back to unrealistic san andreas...i want it to be so unrealistic that u can drive over cliffs for bout 10000000 yards or watver

secondly just playing thru silent hill games it would be more scarier to open a door and a creature to be right in your face rather then shifting the camera around

great article!

Great article!! I actually just created a profile solely to comment on this. I agree with Silent Hill and GTA most. I love GTA4, but I must admit, after waiting so long for it, I got bored quicker than I expected to. Silent Hill is an awesome game with some really f*cked up stuff goin on in it, and that's what I love about it. The Matrix/Mirror's Edge thing sounds like it could be cool too. Mcdukefan, I agree with you that it is kind of hypocritical, but at the same time I think all games borrow from something else in one way or another. Except maybe Pikmin...what a weird yet awesome game. Where's my Wii Pikmin?!?

The GTA one is both hilarious and a good idea. "I love The Shield", hahaha. However, I think such strong RPG choices would loosen the stranglehold GTA has on the more casual market.

live sucks hahahah

i agree with the grand theft auto they should bring the getting assest part from san andreas where you can make money and hire people you meet to work in buissness you own but also give you stuff to spen the money on like paying rent of buying cars and tricking them out and buying buildings and furniture and stuff i think that that would be a awesome game for this organization to come out with.

I did like the idea of the Matrix and GTA...i never really got into the 'Hill series...so no comment on those...lol @ Tony Hawk "Take a Damn Break"...!!
