You're not too bright are you? Hype sells games before they come out. If the final product sucks, it'll still sell because of the hype. Regardless if the product can live up to it or not.

See: Halo 2, Black, Fable, Devil May Cry 2, FF Crystal Chronicles, and so on.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, the names they have attached to them automatically generate hype for them. No one would have cared for CC if it wasn't hyped up as being a Final Fantasy game first. DMC2 was hyped up because it was the sequel to the (quite good) original.

In many cases, attaching a well known name to something is practically the same thing as free hype.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
