So, I finally wanted to place top 10 in the world for ITG, with great dedication now. But, lots of people are saying it's Dead? Is that true? I mean okay, now people can pass Strangeprogram on foot and Vertex BETA, etc. Is it? I kinda get down on myself because I see ITG is a great game to get movin and not sitting next to the xbox all day... I wish I was a little older so I can live the moments of going to the sweet tourneys and hangin out with Lil Q and such. Meh... Someone tell me what's really up, thanks a lot everyone.

its not really dead, I would say probably people don't have as much access to the game since its such a rarity now that they can't make cabinets anymore.

then again people are just getting lazier =P

Ahhh that's maybe why.. I just thought it's really dead because lots of people on ITGFreak say that. I do know, is it for the lol's? Who knows..
But do you think it's worth trying to get top 10?

ITG is not really dead. People say it's dead because it's hard to find. there are only so many ITG machines, i've been to atleast 30 arcades/movie theaters and i've only seen 2 ITG machines. and 1 of them broke down.

and to add to that. DDR is more known. and has some of the best songs on it (not meaning steps)

yup you're right. Konami has Intellectual property rights (they own ITG)
Roxor is not gone, though. The only thing they lost was ITG. They still do other stuff.

I'm pretty sure I played on a dedicated cab at Roselle, IL, Brunswick Z. There were no custom songs or anything and pads were PERFECT. But 45 minutes away from me :[

lack of machines and dedicated players are the reason like I said.

In your case you have to drive 45 minutes to get to a machine. If that were me i'd probably go maybe once a month if I had the time.

and even that doesn't give you enough time to try and get better when you hardly have access to something.

Yeah yeah.. And my dad won't drive me there, leave me there, drive back home, then I call him to pick me up again. It's too much of a long drive. Man.. maybe I should re-consider what I'm gonna do.

Konami claimed they found a Dance Dance Revolution Code in Roxors ITG program and they proved it. So they sued Roxor

This is false.

The lawsuit was over intellectual property and violation of Konami's hardware patents.

In The Groove is dead, both as a franchise and as an ongoing series. The community will deny this up and down because hacking machines to put on Basshunter and STREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAM while turning the theme into a green color = BRAND NEW SUPER-OFFICIAL GAME to them.

What was left of ITG3 went into PIU PRO. Go play it, it's by most of the same team and aside from the 4-5 panel conversion it's essentially the same.
