OOTP6 - speed up release ? - OPEN for comments - Page 11

jazzrack · 04-01-2004, 09:52 PM

while i would have no problem waiting, I would LOVE to get my hands on OOTP6, The H2H thing is nice, but was not a consideration in my purchase

Modern Relic · 04-01-2004, 09:52 PM

I guess I too am in the minority. I can wait. H2H should rule quite nicely!

Merlino · 04-01-2004, 10:02 PM

If really all we are waiting for the the internet head-to-head play I say relase it a.s.a.p.

thomamon · 04-01-2004, 10:11 PM

I say so too!

PittPanther · 04-01-2004, 10:52 PM

When companies do this, it makes me wonder. Title Bout ditched the role playing feature of its release to get the sim out quicker. Now we have to wait for next year's version to get at the career, or role playing mode.

Who could forget the fiasco of TDCB awhile back?

I would say wait until you get everything in that you want before release. It just seems that you run into less problems that way. But I know I'm in the minority here, so I imagine that you will release it anyway.

I would love the head to head feature as it would really improve a league I have with a few friends.

Unfortunately, I can't help but think I've been in this muddy water before. Deja Vu?

thomamon · 04-01-2004, 10:54 PM

I just wonder howmany people will use head to head? If my online league wanted to use it for the WS I would use it for sure, but other than that I probably won't.

dankrzyz · 04-01-2004, 10:59 PM

Just wait until you can offer us another fine product - not some buggy, half-finished, sorta-version.

You know the people who say "I want it now! I want it now!" will be the same people who, hours after its release, will start complaining how many flaws, bugs, and missing features there are. Be strong. Release only <i>great</i> products - like we're all used to from OOTP Dev.

Trust me. You'll still get everyone's $30, this week or next!

Lucas718 · 04-01-2004, 11:00 PM

I can honestly say that H2H is a feature I will likely never use. I don't think many will object to getting the feature in a patch somewhere down the road.

Rizon · 04-01-2004, 11:14 PM

Hey, when you're at the 6th version, its ok to release the game early!

Right?

Ok maybe not

Rizon · 04-01-2004, 11:18 PM

Well, the joke sucks without the picture showing up

Oh well, +1

Steve Kuffrey · 04-01-2004, 11:24 PM

Yikes........I always hoped that game would turn into something good.

Peanut 11 · 04-01-2004, 11:34 PM

Arguments against the game's early release are illogical, immature, inarticulate, inappropriate, uninspired and unhinged.

Markus will release the game in 17 separate, interlocking pieces.

Go in peace.

MASchiel · 04-01-2004, 11:46 PM

I don't want the game .... I need the game. LoL

CMH · 04-01-2004, 11:47 PM

The poll is unfair.

There should be a Yes, I can wait for this feature. As of now, the YES option makes it seem as if people don't wanna use the h2h feature - which is something I'd like to use in online leagues.

But, if the game is already ready then why wait for it to be released just to get something in it that will be in it in a few weeks, anyway?

So I say YES, I can wait for this feature!

Mike D · 04-02-2004, 12:00 AM

Half of me wants the game because I'm going to be off Saturday and Sunday, so a weekend release would be nice, and yet the other half of me wants the H2H feature in the game also. I can wait, but won't pass up on the opportunity to pay the game.

Thanos · 04-02-2004, 12:02 AM

Whatever happened to the old Hardball series anyway?

I voted for early release. H2H is something I may never use anyway.

merlin9761 · 04-02-2004, 12:10 AM

i have the week off coming up so i just hope its out by monday

MidnightPyro · 04-02-2004, 12:14 AM

Yeah, I really want to play the game this weekend.
I think Henry just gave up on us.

So much for 1 thread, eh?

Kezzek · 04-02-2004, 12:26 AM

I'll vote Yes, if it means that Markus will take enough time to make the H2H feature rock solid and a great addition to OOTP.

Before starting this thread Markus said he hopes to have it out by the 15th. Moving it up a week would still miss this weekend. By voting us, I think a lot of people mistakenly thought the game would be out much sooner.
