KV> Sigh,  get through your head.  The FF7 advertisements 
 KV> helped attract people 
 KV> besides FF veterans.  
  But the problem with that is that most of the people who weren't already 
Final Fantasy fans had more than likely learned about it months ago - not in 
ads, but in magazine news.  I don't think much of the general public would 
actively go for that game, especially when the only images they show are 
cutscenes.
 KV> Quake was heavily advertised in 
 KV> magazines and the net.
 KV> The reason it wasn't advertised on TV because there 
 KV> isn't a big market for 
 KV> advertising computer games.
  Actually, it was hardly advertised at all, if you'd noticed.  Magazine 
"advertising" was largely brief snippets about it in E3 reports, with the 
occasional major article.  Net "advertising" came from people who'd heard 
about it and were excited enough to put up dedicated sites or articles.

 KV> Thanks for telling me about test drive 4.  I'll just

  That's "Carmageddon," and I don't know if it's ever going to come to the 
PSX - it needs serious hardware on the PC as it is.
 KV> Doom2 is better because it was fun I 
 KV> thought plus the frag

 KV> also like the add-ons you could d/l off the internet
 KV> for it.  In quake your
 KV> guys falls upside down or whatever.  The add-ons weren't that 
etacular.
  So... what you talk about being so good in Doom II was in Doom, and there 
were plenty of good add-ons for Doom as well.
  And as for Quake, the death animations are more, well, animated, and varied 
to boot.  Your character can slump down, fly forward and spin around.  And of 
course, you can gib people and let those heads fly.
