Thanks for the input. Sounds like it really is more frustrating to you and team than us...I doubt Apple even understands their own approval process...it seems so different during certain times of the week even. I really think the approval department is completely separate and distributed from Apple's main HQ. How that baby shaking app got approved, but CJS is rejected after two and a half weeks for something minor makes absolutely no sense. It just proves that they are extremely stringent and test every single aspect on actual games of worth, but yet have some automated process for no name apps. They just approve those continuously while the well made and high profile games get an extra level of testing that is just unnecessary and time consuming.
I havent been paying much attention to this thread but this game looks like it will bw good. I dont wanna get my hopes up over anything but it looks really nice. Good luck with the release and all, I wish I could buy it but I cant really afford to buy any apps atm. you need reviewers/testers/friendly promo codes lemme know cuz i'd still really like to try and review this game. Good luck with the review process, esepcially after that baby rattler app lol
I'm happy that he said that if it's approved soon, it'll be released on sunday. Very excited for this game..
Veteran lurker of this thread rears ugly head ! Ive lurked this thread from the start and i feel like a veteran. I'm very disheartened to hear a probable release date I don't know what i'll do on my phone at work if this game does eventually come out and this thread dies .... I've checked this thread every few hours for so long it's addicting. I'll have to up my dose to get as much in as possible before Sunday.
Paul, I will cross my fingers for you and everyone here that it will get approved in time for a Sunday release. I am looking forward to it.
It will come. No matter what happens, it will come. Edit: Can a moderator please get rid of the silly tags on this thread.
So now that the rumor has been deemed true for the submission of NFS, it looks like CJS will get pushed back in line again. That really sucks for you guys, I can see what you mean when you say it's cursed. I'm sure most of their attention is going to go towards the cashcow EA to push that game out asap.
Yeah, I heard Need for Speed is coming out next week! If so, I feel bad for Tag Games, because that will equal in a noticeable loss of sales. Even though people are saying "Oh I won't buy Need for Speed now", I can guarantee that 90% of them will end up buying it... Here's to hoping it comes out before NFS so that Tag can get the best out of it. Thank you, that gave me more hope.
Paul had said they were gonna launch on monday or tuesday, but he changed it and said if its approved theyll launch sunday; probably because of need for speed coming next week
This is all speculation, people who will buy the game will buy it when it comes out, and people who don't, won't. So until it happens, whats the point of getting too excited.
I think it will be a popular game. No bias here (I actually bought Payback) but Payback leaves a lot to want. The game is boring, seems uncreative, the environment is drab, the interface isn't refined enough, etc... CJS seems to solve a lot of that stuff through basic stuff such as having colors and the storyline it has. And since it's the only game to come besides Payback, people have no choice other than to try it if they do or dont like Payback. I think if it gets good reviews it will sell well.
Yeah, I gathered that they wanted to release last Tuesday, but because of Apple's delays and pressure from upcoming games (possibly?) they chose to release it on Sunday IF approved.
It really doesn't matter why they didn't release it, it just needs to come out without more delays or people will get angry. But, when this game is released, they are gonna make a killing!
I'm sure that this has been mentioned before, but I don't have time to go through 132 pages of posts, but how much is this game going to cost when it comes out?
So... looks like EA released Trivial Pursuit yesterday. Do we still think NFS will be released next week then? Interesting to see what the approval time for NFS is compared to CJS! While we are waiting we'll be running a promo code competition to win one copy of each of our previous iPhone releases on the Car Jack MySpace site today. Thats four free games! Do take a look and add us as a friend! www.myspace.com/carjackstreets cheers
Lol with EA you never know, I really think apple should be more consistent with approvals: - all developers should know how many days it would take - should be no difference between small/ big developers And for tag games, I really don't think NFS will take crowd for your game, maybe in the first week but NFS will sell al lot only based on the name alone, but I think it will be only in the first few weeks. A game like yours will sell more constitanly for a longer time. And all people complaing about the delay pff, come on don't you think TAG games want it on the appstore asap?
all in all, i would say that the premarketing was too pre. Better waiting for the approval and then do premarketing stuff, and then release. But afterwards its easy to say this! Sad, but let's hope the game rocks so it will sell as hell and TAG can continue their projects. And lets hope for CJS that NFS doesnt come out today or this weekend...EA seems always there for a surprise...positive or negative. Pfff! =)
