| Think of it like the difference between a slasher flic and an ominous suspense/thriller. They honestly don't have to vary too greatly, but the ones that don't try to be anything more than a generic teen slasher flic are relegated to the "camp" classification. As in, they can be fun to watch for their familiarity (and to make fun of just how poorly made they are), but they aren't stand-outs. You can go ahead and work in a medium like video games with the intention of honoring your favorites, but you've got to think outside of the box if you want it to stand out in a crowd. |
