dont worry man, and like double post are pretty much fine here so dont worry about them.

Well that is the basic idea but i dont want to say too much about that cause it could give away the MASSIVE PLOT TWIST... :D

Yeah I know there are LOADS of posts, and alot of the older ones have become obsoliete... Well its due out in 2011 (the year i leave school) and also it is for RF2 although were making it in RF1 first but are keeping in mind the impending port in our desighn...

but with us you never know, could be sooner or later or just for RF1 but Im "pretty" sure of the release date and I REALLY do love the idea of RF2 especially how it is coming along :)

Well, were planning a short demo (I MEAN SHORT) and so I want to make the final name, I have been experimenting with these, all of which have direct relation to the game, although each is a reference to either a different event or idea in the game, please choose which one you think is the best :D

my suggestion to improve the ones you have mentiond is to make them more criptic while relating to the main theme/ main objective/ vital part of the game, the way most games make their name is so that you have to play the game to understand it but can still explain itself.

this is the reason why im choosing the last one, burning is a fuse to destruction, its criptic, doesnt give the game away, but yet it explains itself and make sense but yet needs the game to fully understand it

where as hold my hand i am dieing isnt very criptic and gives the story away a bit too much, to me it suggests that either the main chracter or a character that the player is supposed to like alot is dieing and the player has to save them, the generel story is given away then, if people dont like that sort of game then you have just lost a customer where as if you made it criptic, in my opinion i cant see you loosing customers and potentualy gaining more.

this is just my opinion though

Thank you very much for the feedback, I must say ive got some very differnt views, different ppl like differnt name and none seems to stand out as being superior, so i think im going to go with scotts idea of making it a bit more cryptic, but also trying to include the emotional interest that I think ppl find in the others...
