Ahead of it's time? Go play Fahrenheit please.....

If a type of title never catches on, fans of it keep saying that it is still "ahead of its time".  Like Fahrenheit is supposed to be this to.

What fans have said this?

Who said Fahrenheit was ahead of its time?

A bunch of people over the Internet have.  One of the things said about something people like, but doesn't catch on is that it is "ahead of its time".  Heavy Rain is now being said in this article to be "ahead of its time" and will fail.  I am not saying ALL fans will say this, but sometimes fan do.  Only time I see this being true is if the concept finally catches on, and then you look back and see that a game actually was "ahead of its time".  I don't think one can say this about Fahrenheit.  It is possible it is a game concept will never catch on in a big way.

I was talking about HEAVY RAIN, which I haven't seen any fans, at least not on VG Chartz (where we are), claim that.

Heavy Rain hasn't produced sales numbers yet, so it is hard to say a game is "ahead of its time" when it actually ends up maybe doing really good numbers and shows that "it is its time".   Actually I did overstate a "bunch" there, but did find people who are fans of a game that doesn't sell well will say the game is "ahead of its time".
