ITP release date

Markus Heinsohn · 11-03-2003, 06:49 AM

Just wanted to let you know that ITP will be released this year

We will definitely have it done shortly before christmas!

Great news, Markus - thanks.

Hopefully that will keep the wolves at bay from Steve's door.

Thanks, Markus. It definitely helps with the waiting when you have even a vague release date. "By the end of the year" was killing me.

Enkiel · 11-03-2003, 10:11 AM

weee, now that's good news

Randy Rhoads · 11-03-2003, 06:05 PM

can we get some new screenshots?

Joe Canadian · 11-03-2003, 11:57 PM

What a great time to be a sports sim fan... ITP, FOF 2004, TPF, TPB, and a new CM all before Christmas!!!

Trammiker · 11-04-2003, 12:21 AM

Yea Steve, I am pretty sure my wife is going to divorce me by christmas time.

I know I will get ITP, and pretty sure I am going to have TPF. Still up in the air about TPB at the moment, but since it looks like the first to come out, it's percentage is climbing.

I wonder if I can disguise one as a christmas gift for her. Worked for Homer and the bowling ball......oh wait.

Bee · 11-04-2003, 01:32 PM

I'm really looking forward to this game. I love the concept and hope the release sells well enough for a football version.

spleen1015 · 11-04-2003, 09:12 PM

Has beta started yet?

Andy · 11-05-2003, 02:03 PM

Keep up the great work!

bearman · 11-05-2003, 04:15 PM

Rockpile · 11-08-2003, 12:35 AM

I can't wait for ITP!

metsgeek · 11-08-2003, 11:07 AM

Pardon me while I drool

Northernsky · 11-15-2003, 10:49 AM

Just cuirous how ITP became to be so cheap? OOTP was $34 and ITP will be $19.95. Just curious...not complaining. But I'm always under the impression you get what you pay for. So you see I am not upset I JUST bought OOTp5 for $34.05 and you lowered the price to $19.95 a couple days ago... I would have prob paid $50 for it....its worth it.

Treches · 11-15-2003, 11:16 AM

Dunno for sure, but the fact that the game is again developed and released just by Markus and not .400 Studios (like OOTP5 was) may have something to do with it. OOTP has always had a price drop at some point. OOTP4 was around $30, if I remember correctly.

tigersfan · 11-15-2003, 01:53 PM

I do know a bit about marketing, it probably has a lot to do with the fact that the market is completey untested for a game like this, and people will be more willing to take a chance on a $20 game then a $35 one. The plan may be to get as many ppl hooked as possible then release for a higher price on the next version if this one sells well. That's exactly how I would do it anyway.
