[General Discussion] Do you have an idea for a unique game? Share it!

It's definately nothing new generally speaking, but I think a boxing game for the wii, using two wiimotes, would be sweet.

Your gravity idea would be interesting, I'd definately give it a try if it came out.

I'm not that sort of creative though, so no ideas like that from me :P

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Second person view?

Viewing you character from the eyes of a different character? I dont understand how that would work in a game...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes yes, as Nintendonomicon said, that is third person view. 3rd person view is the most common, 1st person is uncommon as the only option, but a fare ammount of games give the option, so, its farily common overall. Ive never heard of a game in 2nd person. Even books in second person are rare.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Technically, that can still be accounted as third person. 'Third Person Limited' I believe is the term for that.

2nd person would be very hard to do in a game, because its about 'you'; not a character you identify with, but actually you.

Actually... could any FPS game without character developement technically be called second person view, as the character isn't really existant, and its pretty much just you? Hmmm... 2nd person view is tricksy in non-literary form.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I don't know, wasn't my idea. Seems it'd definately be hard to pull off a true 2nd person feel in a game.

I was speaking idiomatically.
