The IP really matters. Humans are habit-animals, they prefer to stick to what they know.
Had Jensen come up with GK4 instead of Moebius, the amount of backing would've been significantly higher.
Same will go for Tom Hall. Let him make Anachronox 2 and you'll have all the fans of Anachronox backing. Let him make something new, and you'll only have a fraction of the fans of Anachronox backing, and he'll have trouble raising money.
Why do you think sequels are so loved by producers? Because if the original was even remotely successful, the sequel will outshine it in terms of profit... Even if it's bad...
