So, there are threads on clichés within games (I.E. Silent Space Marine)

But there's NOT one on the clichés we always see with the development.

For example, whenever you see an interview with a developer making a sequel to a much-beloved game, they always say "we want to EXPAND the universe" whilst flailing their hands about like they're holding a massive ball between them.

Reboots always want to be "faithful" or "loyal" to the original. "Realism" "Sandbox" "Much darker/grittier" are buzzwords thrown about.

What language or gimmicks have you seen developers or anyone talking about an unreleased game use?
