OOTP6 - speed up release ? - OPEN for comments - Page 5

MidnightPyro · 04-01-2004, 03:47 PM

Now all we need is a word from Markus about what's going on...

KWhit · 04-01-2004, 03:47 PM

I vote to go ahead and release it.

Bluenoser · 04-01-2004, 03:48 PM

I voted no. I can see where this is going. It'll be like last year when the financial co-efficient got left out, to be added later. Right......we know what happened to that.

Sorry for being one of the negative minority, but the track record speaks for itself here.

As well, I've never been a fan of releasing an incomplete game. Wait until it's all done and ready to go.

I really think he needs to wait till he gets the game complete.

That is all.

Agree 1000%

"OOTP6 will be released when it has been fully tested and found to be ready."

Must I remind you all?

Imagine if Markus would have said before OOTP5. Hey guys I can release the game without manager mode and add it later. Manager Mode was a big add in, and now so is Head-2-Head. It really needs to make it in the first release. 1) Because people like statfreak have been waiting years for it. 2) Some people buy games when they are released just to try it out and they never come back for the patches. What if Head to Head was something they were looking for and they never knew it was coming. I say Markus needs to wait, stop listening to the crying bitches and get the game out when it is complete and not a day sooner.

If you feel this way I am sure you can wait and download it when H2H is in the game. But over 125 people disagree with you and I believe majority rules.

Gromit · 04-01-2004, 03:49 PM

jaxmagicman, maybe you should come right out and really say what's on your mind.

sonicky · 04-01-2004, 03:49 PM

great feature markus but can definitely wait till the update

Edit: I'm not trying to be mean... but don't say you won't use it, when you might get interested in it later.

I know what I'm interested in, and I know what I'm not interested in. I have no desire whatsoever to play in a 64 team history tourney, unless you could could somehow figure out a way to make it go through 20 seasons in a week. :P

I'll repeat myself: I will never, ever use this feature.

That being said, part of me still hopes the release doesn't happen for a while.

Do you, then, believe that lynch mobs are a good thing? Just curious...

birdsofprey02 · 04-01-2004, 03:54 PM

I got a feeling the pre-ordering will be shut down very soon.

couldn't have said it better.

I've been waiting 4 years for this to be put in... I've preordered based on the advertised features and to be honest would feel cheated/lied to yet again if H2H did not make the initial release.

I am sure Markus has every intention of including it, but unexpected bugs will pop up and the majority will f'n bitch about a feature that needs fixin'/upgrading. Once again H2H will fall by the wayside.

Regardless, as it stands now I'm fed up with the way OOTPDev does business and v6 will in all likelihood be the last version I buy.

Ragnar · 04-01-2004, 03:55 PM

I'm buying a car next week and they said they were gonna send me the engine in 2 weeks hehehehehe

MidnightPyro · 04-01-2004, 03:55 PM

I can understand why people are concerned about the game being released early. However, Markus has stated that H2H mode WILL BE IN THE FIRST UPDATE. A majority of people would like the game before this is finished. So basically, it's a win-win situation for everyone. The people who'd like H2H will get it with the first update, and those who'd like to get OOTP6 as soon as possible will be able to do so.

birdsofprey02 · 04-01-2004, 03:56 PM

Why would anyone want to do H2H right away anyways? I don't plan on using it, but even if I do try it, I definitely want to play solo for a few seasons to get a feel for the game. So with that said, it can definitely wait. In 2-3 weeks, i'll be ready for playing against all you nutheads.

Andy · 04-01-2004, 03:57 PM

Markus already said that H2H was 50% done so I doubt he would just scratch it entirely after already starting on it. If not in the initial release, I have no doubt it will be in very soon.....

airportis · 04-01-2004, 03:58 PM

You people are much to hostile. You have no idea how ready the game is so you can NOT SAY there will be unexpected bugs. Do you really think Markus of all people would make this thread himself if he did not strongly feel that the game is ready other than H2H? None of you know so it is pointless to argue back and forth.

Yeah, and the financial co-efficient, as pointed out already, was supposed to be in an update of v5... that still has yet to make it into the game.

Steve Kuffrey himself told me H2H would be in v3... maybe he meant v30?!?

likewise, you have no idea either, so shut it!
