Title: Funny thing said by Tim Schafer Post by: IceBladeX on August 08, 2004, 01:40:53 AM Tim Shcafer, genius behind such games as Full Throttle and
Grim Fandango said something great in this interview at http://www.gametab.com/news/130760/ GS: What does it take to sell a crafted, adventure game in today's all-Doom, all the time environment? TS: Well, I'm not in sales, but I did learn one thing from Full Throttle. PUT A BIG EXPLOSION ON THE BOX. Psychonauts is going to have two explosions on the cover, so it will probably sell twice as much as Throttle.

I know alot of people who rent only sports games and games were you "blow shit up in". Title: Re: Funny thing said by Tim Schafer Post by: Mike Leon on August 08, 2004, 06:05:03 PM I've declared many times how much I hate people for doing exactly what we're talking about. It's a sad but true fact. A large portion, if not the majority, of video games sell based entirely on the packaging.
