heres and idea for an expireneced coder. A Grand Theft Auto game. not the PS2 3d veiw but the old (top veiw). I think that would be a popular game if someone could make it.
The good coders don't like to make ripoffs.

Well put.

legends like gta2 should never be ripped off. they may be marvelled at but never attempt to take something like that and make it your own.

Not really... it's the same thing everyone says when discouraging unoriginal games. =P

I think there was mainly an issue with the wording. If someone wanted to make a mission-based vehicle game with mature themes, there should not be much of a problem. When someone mentions a title, people get upset thinking about actual content being stolen. A problem with this is that describing some game genres without titles can be rather difficult if you are not drowning in the jargon already.

It's not like MORPGs are original either. It's all in the implementation.

PS: Sure, GTA2 had an army. However, GTA had music that kept its place when you got in and out of cars. If you got killed right before your favorite song came up, you could steal the proper car and hear from where you left off. As for missions... Er, there are missions? ;)
