Roxor lawsuit settled, Konami inherits ITG franchise

Define hard. Mines and hands are not "hard" in and of themselves. It is just awkward to those who have never played with them before. It's one more skill to add in playing the game, and I've found that the majority of the people doggy about them are the ones who have trouble making that transition.

And yes, mines and hands are innovation. No one did them before ITG did in a commercial 4-panel dance game you find in arcades everywhere.

Oh, and Manator, this is why no one likes you in OKC.

You guys need to be more positive.

I highly doubt, Konami will make ITG extinct.
Now they have 2 dance games to manage, so I wonder what next.

There's nothing we can do about it other than boycott Konami.

Boycott Konami?
Are you kidding?
With such good series as Metal Gear, Silent Hill, GRADIUS, are you f'n crazy?

Seriously though, if Konami wanted to, they could live on ITG or run it In the Ground.

Whichever. They're choice.

And Soxor, the reason why no one likes me is because I won't conform. kthanx. No more flames. Flame me in PM, thanks.

I know it was stated a while back that Konami is a company and shouldn't just let another company copy their work. Koinami is also a company of humans, and humans can occasionally be caring people. Let's compare for a moment.

Konami successful franchises:
Suidoken
Castlevania
DDR
Metal Gear Solid
many other music games.

(former) Roxor successful franchises:
ITG

Konami is making a shitload of money because they have three huge franchises (MGS, CV, and DDR) and several other franchises that are still respectable. Roxor has (had) ITG, and it is mainly for the hardcore crowd. Konami makes 100 times more than Roxor, and suing them hardly saves them any money. Is it worth it for Konami to (most likely) end a great series and piss off a whole lot of people? I know Roxor copied Konami, but a lot of humans do something called "letting it slide." Why couldn't Konami do this? They should be helping Roxor with their series as a newcomer to the video game market, not suing their asses and stealing one of their franchises that, formerly, basically kept them alive. Since Roxor no longer has ITG, they have to depend on their new series, Tux Racer. If this is a flop, I bet Roxor is done. So basically, if this happens, Konami can be blamed for the ending of Roxor. If you are making a huge amount of money, and you potentially put another company out of business, then you, my friend, are a bitch. I hope youre happy with yourself, Konami.

why should konami help a company that told arcades in the groove was a new DDR game and turned konamis own DDR cabinets into ITG cabs?

exactly. it's like nintendo helping out microsoft on the new xbox exclusive. It's just stupid and will lose them money. Sure, i think konamis suings got a bit outta hand, but helping out a company that could end up hurting your profits is just stupid.

Well, I'm all for a boycott personally. Although I won't be too obsessive.

Now if you wanna see obsessive...ask Z Matrix about how he canceled 3 PS3 preorders because the only game he really wanted was MGS4.
