Hmmm... I know there is a common demand for something new in the comunity, but there really is dificulty in coming up with origenality for every new game. Not having tested Sarah for myself I don't know what areas you would feel are to much like SOD, but there are often games in the sighted gaming world that are similar in nature. What sets them apart is a different storyline, different graphics, and sometimes different effects. For example, we now have GMA Games GTC. If another game developer is wanting to make a tank game the next dev would be hard pressed to make the new game so different as to make it sell. Else the customer base winds up saying, "I have GTC I don't need another tank game. i want something new." My question is what can we as developers do differently that adds origenality to an old idea to make a game so that it sells. Phil certainly has a different storyline for Sarah, but is it effects, the castle layout, or what is it exactly that draws you to say it is like SOD?
