Apart from all the marketing chat and the publishing chat and the PR chat and the Hype-o-Meter chat, I guess this is really the point, we want to admit it or not.

When Gray Matter was announced the reaction was pretty much "Oh my God, it's Jane Jensen!", 'cause - through the years - gamers have looked at her as a synonymous of great games. As everything, there are supporters, detractors and indifferent. Over analyze the subject, in my opinion, distract from the base: let me do an example, Bill Tiller's "A Vampyre Story". I never really liked his games, and even if publishers/developers/PRs flood me with pre-release material, still I'm not looking forward this title.
