Ok I've just run the figures and spoken with the key stakeholders and I'm pleased to say the agreement is... Sunday 28th Feb release LAUNCH OFFER at £1.79 / $2.99 Euro 2.39 Release world wide in English. (Other languages will be added v.soon) All DLC packs are 59p / $0.99 except some currency exchange TELL EVERYONE!!!! (plus show that launching on a sunday can work - if Rayman beats us then I'll be back here looking for blood!) Hope you guys like it and its worth the wait ;-) P
Whoot just confirms you care so much more about sales figures than you do the fans. I will no longer be buying. It's not like putting it out now would make a difference.
I retweeted your Twitter. But why do you wait for Sunday and don´t release it now? There is nothing to loose with releasing it now instead of sunday. The media buzz won´t be better with a release in two days. My 2 cents.....
INateYou it's a shame that you feel that way, but yes we are a business. Poor sales of Astro Ranch mean there is no money to reinvest in Car Jack 2, Astro Ranch 2 and the other original games we'd like to make. Despite what you think we can't just release half way through the day in the US/end of the day UK. We'd miss a ton of exposure on the new release list. So whilst I understand your frustration respectfully understand that I, and the rest of the Tag team (that have been working to 4am some nights on this game) have way more than you to loose if this doesnt work out well. Anyway back to the fun and random speculation ;-) Any bets on who'll be the first to achieve rank 10 and collect all 30 achievements? p
You guys are lame. For your information, MOST GAMES RELEASE AT NIGHT. I am in Michigan. Touch Arcades new games section is busiest after midnight. Might as well just release it Monday then. And how dare you try to butter everyone up to spread the word just to get you to release the game today then pull this crap. You go spread the word yourself. Rayman will beat you either way, it's a proven franchise. And I hope it does. I wanted Astro Ranch out of boredom more than anything. It doesn't look THAT great. After all this crap, keep it. This week has been the biggest waste of my time goofing around with this thread. Next time, be a bit more professional: Get an approval, THEN post a release date, THEN stick to it.
Glad we finally got a release date, too bad I work Sunday and will not get to download it til late Sunday night... Enjoy the game for me til then guys!
28 hours...wow... And colorsound has great points. Many games release at midnight and Rayman is one of those classics. It is also published by gameloft. GAMELOFT. Lol
