Putting in my own input. I own 2 machines, ITG, Supernova, DDRE. The Super Nova and DDRE is in one machine, you have to switch drives. Don't ask me how I got them, I have alot of connections and good money. Anyways.

DDR is for beginers that are just learning. Saying that I have to refer to ITG, ITG also has an exelent beginers program. ITG can be played by people just starting and learn fast with its programing.

But! In terms of difficulty and such, ITG takes the gold anyday.

1-ITG has overall harder and faster songs. Refering to the basics as Vertex2(squared) and Legend of Trance(modified from card).
2-ITG includes not only steps, but hands must be used. Pressing a continueous 3 step combos in some songs.
3-As a machine, ITG has better programing. DDR has lots of trouble in compatibility and only accepts DDR approved songs. ITG allows you to install songs you've created or found. Even on my machine i've put a couple stepmania songs on it. Of course completing an actual Stepmania song with your feet is a whole nother story
4-DDR has mostly same step combinations. Rarely showing an 8th step.
5-Almost forgot about the mods. ITG has a massive ammount of mods and options you can add. Everything from boomerang to alternate. Having your arrows fade out is about all you can do in DDR. In ITG you can have arrows Boomerang while blinking in an alternate setting with the arrows spinning and shaking from side to side as a regular step pattern.

Thats just my input. I don't know if it helps much, but I vote ITG.

Just passed Gargoyle Full Version (2,300+steps) and FLOWER FOREVER (2,000+steps). Also grabbed Lawn Wake IX (1,000+steps) and Heaven (1,557steps). Looking for some serious challengers plz, my GS is kfreshdangler ^_^.

Alright now, im trying to add Ridiculous Timing to ITGPC {Mdawgs}. This is seriously challenging, as no RT executable was ever made for the Stepmania 4.0CVS engine. If I do ever finish it, I should be quite famous [although I just won't be publishing the Executable THAT easy when its done XD].

1) Development was practically done on ITG3 and ITG2 PS2, it can be released with little time and money put into it.

2) I'll point out that ITG (NOT DDR) was named the best earning dance game in the arcades.

3) To go along with that, my arcade has 2 ITG2 dedicabs and 1 supernova. They've had to crank up the Supernova to 5 songs (rather than 3) a credit to try and get more people to play it, but it's still getting only about 5% the play time the ITG2's get. If I were to guess, the ITG2 machines are taking about $100 in a day EACH. The SuperNova's probably getting about $15 a day at the most.

4) ITG3 is coming out whether you like it or not. People are going to continue the series through song packs by using the R21 patch on ITG2's if ITG3 is never released. You may as well release ITG3 and make a profit.


Even if you still don't plan to continue ITG (which would be a REALLY stupid move IMO), at least announce it, rather than leaving everyone in the dark.
