My big problem is that as much fun as it is, it’s still just another geeky shooter game, but I’ve figured out how to broaden it’s appeal and make it stand out from the pack, with just a simple name change.
1. Everyone knows that tentacles are the in thing for 2010, put it in the title.
2. Marcus, it’s just a nothing name, give him a strong regal name like Richard, then market them as the stars they are.
3. Gears of War is again just a poor title, it doesn’t explain enough about what people can expect from the game.
So with that in mind, I would release this title under the new name:
‘Dick and Dom vs The Underwater Alien Tentacle Monster Of Doom in Happy Wacky Space Chase (now with girls)’
Even though I have no background in marketing and sales, I’m betting it would sell like hotcakes.
