@McFunkypants When we were shopping Fractured Soul around, THQ once said the game was great but so new they didn't know how to sell it.

@GrantTheAnt I suppose being great and fun isn't enough; the mass marketing aspect is significant. Imagine 'great' frog legs at mcdonalds.

@McFunkypants Yeh, always been told to do something very different to stand out. Realised later that this means art style not mechanics.

@GrantTheAnt I think this is true. Just a little different, like putting bacon on a burger vs mcsquid.

@McFunkypants @GrantTheAnt I think it's because people need to be able to describe something in terms of something else.

@rojomojogogo @McFunkypants True. And, do people really want something genuinely new? Or do they want more of the same?

@GrantTheAnt @McFunkypants Well I think the saying is "people don't know what they want until they see it"

@rojomojogogo @GrantTheAnt or wait, that was Jobs.
