I'm sorry, but I have no idea what the big idea is about that game. Everything about it looks bad and generic.

The concept art they showed was interesting I guess, but I have no idea why people flipped over it. Still though, some people like certain things, so it's cool that they get excited about it.

And then they released those screenshots.

Those screenshots almost made Cruise'n look good. Why again are people so excited about this?

Its Warren Spector!! Don't you get anything?!

Yeah, but it doesn't change the fact everything about that game looks terrible.

Hell, even Miyamoto made Wii Music and Romero made Diakatana.

You should be glad it looks terrible. Good graphics are evil and will eat your dog and poop on the porch.

I can't say I'm excited about this game myself, expecially if it aims for the Kingdom Hearts audience, I really, really tried to like those games since they were Square-Enix projects but I just couldn't.

Like twesterm, I really don't get the attraction of this game.

I really hate the phrase "market the hell out of" in OP, too. Just bugs me. A lot.

Marketing "the hell out of a game" doesn't necessarily even guarantee success, either. Chinatown Wars on DS had adverts every 15mins in the UK for about a fortnight solid back in Easter, yet it sold atrociously. I'm sure people will counter this by saying "yes, but Epic Mickey's content is much more suited to the Nintendo demographic than Gran Theft Auto", but I have a strong feeling the exact same thing is going to happen. Just my hunch.

LTD stands for life to DATE. As in, sales to the our current point in time. There is no possible way to predict LTD sales, that'd be predicting the present.

Lifetime sales would be the correct term.

OT: If it doesn't look good for the game right now. I agree with Twesterm about it looking marginally better than Cruise'n.

I think Wii fans would just like to see some 3rd party game do big numbers. Something other than Carnival Games... They tend to get their hopes up with each new thing. Reminds me of Conduit which also looked like a generic shooter from a studio with no experience in FPS but got people super hyped. Don't get me wrong, I liked Conduit, I just never expected it to be all that.
