Ah, a fact is it? Amazing how a fact on a product can exist before the actual product itself does. In other words, that is an opinion of yours. Until the game is sold and we can view the actual demographic, there is no fact such as you claim. It's very brave of you to tout facts but refuse to show age or location so we can get a picture of your overall personality. Likely as brave as sending women in to blow themselves up in shopping malls.
What the fuck? Did you just...? No, never mind, I'll leave that one.
Anyway, yes, it's a fact. Of course facts about a product can exist before the product does, when the fact in question concerns the pre-release hype surrounding said product. What I was saying is that LBP has a phenomenal amount of buzz surrounding it, especially for a new IP from a new developer. It may well be unprecedented.
Yet, I'll answer your question. Thus far, I've seen maybe 30-50 people rallying for LBP. I certainly hope that for the developer's sake, that they sell more than 30-50 copies of the game. Yet, I guess to you, 30-50 people is a massive amount of people. I guess that holds true if you are from a small farming town.
I am from a small farming town!
Is this helping with that demographic profile you wanted to build on me? (Incidentally, I'll give you any information you like, but I don't see how any of it is relevant to the topic besides "I am more than 11 years old").
And if you think there are 30 people rallying for LBP, you're in denial. Every gaming forum on the planet has a sizable band of cheerleaders for the game, and Sony is intent on pushing it as their premier title of the year.
Lastly, don't tout about what is/has been seen before in the industry. A lot of devs are looking at LBP with a raised eyebrow, trying to figure out what the actual angle for this development is. Its pretty sketchy. Of course, this doesn't mean failure, it just means something unorthodox.
And as a developer, you have the inside scoop on these things, right?
