ITG3 AC and ITG2 CS announced!

[KingofLight06]

I'm guessing that maybe just that the preview is delayed, so they can have more time to work on the game, so it can be ready by their intended release date.
I want to see the preview as much as everyone else, but I'm sure everything will work out to be fine in the end. Have faith in Roxor that it'll be in arcades by the end of this year at the latest.

AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Call me impatient, but AM getting a little sick of playing the same 134 songs or however it is. I mean seriously, when my SM is becoming more fun than the arcade, you know it's getting old.

UGGH

I would give my left nut for ITG3 right now

Well, it could come off as a threat if we played it right, and I doubt Kyle wants to get rid of his balls any time soon, so yeah, it might just work.

.....But I'm sure as hell not testing this theory......

So I've been thinking about this, and I realized that I'd rather have the complete science regarding ITG2CS than the recent "We'll be at this convention OOPS just kidding lolz" debacle that was an ITG3 preview.

I've said it in other places, but my basic thought right now is that one of Chris Foy or Kyle (I can't remember which) description of Roxor as "Just a bunch of guys who love dancing games" is both their greatest weapon and their biggest obstacle. It allows them to put out a great series, but they've made public screwup after public screwup (The R14 debacle, taking somewhere in the realm of four to five months to get LilQ his machine for winning NAT05, this recent ITG3 fiasco) that they really shouldn't be able to get away with, but everyone gives them a pass because, shockingly, Konami in recent months has proven just as incompetent.

In short, the ITG series, to me, is great in spite of the Roxor games "infrastructure", not because of it.

What "fiasco" are you talking about?

They never released a date. They're also a small company. It takes a lot of coordination between their local staff members to get things out. Give them a break. They're not a multi-million dollar corporation.

Anyone else find it funny that DDR Supernova beat ITG3 to the arcade AND ITG2 to the PS2?

...Yeah, funny...

Personally, I don't expect anything more in the way of announcements until at least Q1 2007 with the way this is going. And of course, I never expected ITG2 CS to come out until 2007 to begin with.

This may or may not be directly related to ITG2CS, but apparently the ITG PC R2 was released, and it contains...the rest of ITG2.

Make of that what you will. More info here
and here.

You guys need patience. I've interned for a game company before and having information go out is VERY limited. Actually, the information that went out was only in one review and after the magazine review they had no other information leaving the company.

Do any of you guys realize the time required for creating a game? Do you even concider how to deal with getting vendors? Have you thought of how to design, create, and purchase the parts for an upgrade or a dedicated cabinet? I mean really, getting the parts designed and programmed is difficult. Then if something is wrong or slightly different in the specs they have to retest the whole design. Maybe if the latency is a little off then the timing is off so then then need to go back in and hardcode a specific area in the game stucture. But if there's an issue with that or some sync issue then they have to either reprogram part of the software, or hardware, OR redue the step charts for compensation. Now, what about the lives they live outside of the company? What about a server going down and loosing 1-2 weeks of backed up date? Yes, there's a lot of what if's but you shouldn't think that all they do is get up and create the game. They too have a life and creating a game is no walk in the park. When the company is small they can create the design they'd like with the all their details but it takes more time. Just try to realize there's a lot more to do than what meets your consumer eye. I know how hard it is because I've seen it and dealt with it. Learn, grow up and be more respectful. If they wanted to give you a crappy version then they would've already released the game. One good example is Blizzard. They push back the games so they can deliever a great product for their consumers/buyers/gamers.
