Yeah, but maybe the devs should wait until their apps are approved and listed in the Store before running around trying to hype them. That way they're able to advertise a release date that they KNOW they can meet.
I think you have to look at like software in the world outside of iTunes. There is a lot of marketing that needs to take place to build awareness beforehand to boost sales. And delivery dates slip all the time. Is it right? Of course not, but you still need to do the groundwork prior to launch. With iTunes, you're talking about an even shorter timeframe to sales because of the accelerated product lifecycle.
Yeah, I understand the reasoning, I really do. It's just irritating to constantly see stuff like 'look for it in a few days' and then a week later still no sign of the app.
Believe me, I understand where you coming from. It's annoying when you're waiting and waiting, and it still doesn't show up. On the other hand, you may want to check out G.I. Joyride which is apparently coming out tonight if you can believe it and will tie you over until MTN shows up.
I know what you mean - that can be pretty annoying. But as Big Albie says, this all part of the process of trying to sell the game to the biggest amount of people. What I don't like though is why devs decide to say it will be "couple of days" or "Submitted today". As far as I understand it, devs are given the option to delay release to a specific date once the app is approved so why not launch on a set date that you could advertise rather than some random date of apple's choosing? Anyway, this game looks quite cool, just not sure about the 360 degree rotation thing.
Monster car nitro Any news when this will be out? It's been a few days already. http://toucharcade.com/2009/03/05/upcoming-monster-trucks-nitro-for-the-iphone/
I don't have the info, sorry Donkei, but I can't wait to pick this up it'll be a perfect companion to play back to back with a recent pick-up G.I. Joyride. Hurry up Apple!
I wish they convert Trials 2 too: Gameplay video 1 Gameplay video 2 [hqyoutube]25DbdzrU8R4[/hqyoutube]
that would be cool game to be added to ipod touch. i would be doing back flips. double back flips. and triple back flips. ridding just like travis pastrana.
All the website says is that the game will be available in a few days ( which it has said for about a week now), and a link that will work when the app is up and running. No news, no info on the holdup, nothing.
