Homeworld was a major breakthrough due to it's real 3D nature. Cool, that was unique and had a ridiculously cool plot. Next is Impossible Creatures, which will be new and unique due to the degree to which you can modify every creature! Also, very cool and unique.
But the question is, What's next? Can you possibly get more cool and new? But of course, it is always possible. What could it be thou?
IMHO, a next breakthrough would involve something with a near human AI, so that if your connection doesn't work one day, no problem! Just challange a CPU that could proly beat you! Some people say that a computer will never reach the intelligence of a human... well, never say never!
It should also include something that everyone would enjoy. It has to be fun of course! What do people consider fun? According to the most popular games on the planet, Sci-fi, action, and strategy go well together (What game has sold better around the world than Starcraft?). But there are already too many of these. Is there some alternate option that we could resort to? Whatever it is, I must reiterate that it must be something enjoyable and fast paced [I][B]If wanted!!![B/][I/] You might want to just build a nice space city without very many offensive ships, but maybe a huge defensive minefield... (Wow, getting a little homeworldish... but you know what I mean, right? :D)
So AI and a choice of fast or slowness. What else? Well, more minor aspects would include ease of use, graphics and all that.
I definately did not go over everything that is needed to make a great game, so what do you think should be added to make something that would be very successful, new, cool, and groundbreaking??
