OOTP6 - speed up release ? - OPEN for comments - Page 10

crackpott · 04-01-2004, 08:00 PM

Wow, I'm not going to read through all this.

Let me add why "Yes" makes sense though. Head-to-head is primarily for online leagues. If Markus can include it in a patch 3 weeks from now, that's fine, as most leagues will be converting to V6 either in a while, or even if immediately, they have an offseason to go through, in which case H2H is not needed right now. Add it later. Game now.

...of course I vote for a quick release. I can surely wait for HTH.
Thanks for the option, Markus.

If and when head to head is the only thing holding up the release then I vote put it out and add the H to H in the patch.

edm · 04-01-2004, 08:09 PM

I say, release it, only if H2H play makes it into a patch at a later time. I kind of remember a situation last year where spring training games were touted as a feature, before the games release. Only to be told, upon release, that it could not make into into the game and would be implemented in a patch. Yes, I understand that STG were never promised as a feature after the games release, only that, it would possibly make it into a patch.

I have to admit, I'm kind of taken aback that this feature has not even been put into the game yet, at all. Yet is listed as an official feature. Of course, I do not know very much about coding a game, so maybe this is normal.

With that said, I'm very excited about the game and look forward to its release. So as I said, as long as H2H play will make it into a patch, a month or so down the line, release it, what the heck

The sooner the better.

I would rather see sooner than later. I've got a 3 day weekend coming up and would rather spend it with OOTP 6 than yard work.
I mean, I've got a wife and kids for the yard.

Mudfrost · 04-01-2004, 08:26 PM

My weekend starts tonight. Ready!

MidnightPyro · 04-01-2004, 08:36 PM

Yeah...I'm on spring break, so I'm off today, tommorow, weekend.

Then next week is a 4 day week for me with Memorial day, so tommorow mornin Markus time would be great for me.

KenM746003 · 04-01-2004, 08:40 PM

When is Memorial Day on your calendar?

Memorial day is still in May, right?

jazzrack · 04-01-2004, 09:07 PM

a better question would be to ask where he is, many other places other than the USA have a memorial day

88% of the community says earlier :P
That's a rather large majority.

Dargone · 04-01-2004, 09:43 PM

I voted for now but I could wait a few weeks longer...

Kane182 · 04-01-2004, 09:48 PM

I'd like to have H2H in the initial release. I see I am in the minority, but personally I can wait for such a cool feature.
