Did you read OP

"I'm not talking graphics, but more concept, story type thing. Your idea can be lame, ridiculous, stupid, or even great; just so long as it is fresh and new.

Honestly I skimmed it, though I still stand by my edit I made while you typed that post.

It's something that probably hasn't been made before but it's still a completely unoriginal basic sandbox coped game.

Fair enough, though I would say that it would be very difficult to come up with a game in today's market (which is preceeded by hundreds of games) with something that was not inspired in some way by some other game.

The sandbox formula has been done before, but that does not mean that a game can't take that mold and make it fresh and new. A game where you are the poacher has never been done before to my knowlege, and in my opinion that aspect of it makes it fresh.

 

 True that you can take something like a sandbox game and still try to make it fresh but what you're suggesting is something along the lines of a GTA clone (or whatever sandbox game you want to pick) with a boring hook.  I'm sure you think your idea is edgy and clever but I'm sure the people that made BMX XXX thought the same thing.

And there are still plenty of original games being made today.
