Ahh but you have all taken the word clone to be something else...if I make tetris, it won't be a "clone", it will be a remake. And anyway, you obviously didn't read my post, I said in most cases.
As far as I know, SonicX is a copy, and I think that is wrong.
And Pete, I know that only a handful of people are going to play it, but I can still create publicity for the game quite easily...http://www.gamehippo.com.
Even if the game is 5/10, many people will play it. With a unique hitcount of something like 10000 unique hits a day, that's publicity. Take into account that a game stays on the front page for ~14 days, thats 140,000 unique people that see the game.
It's just that people jump to conclusions that the game will be unheard of simply because it isn't a copy. Obviously, that's bollocks, otherwise everyone would be playing only pong and nothing else.
