I was quite disappointed to hear this, but I guess it counts, considering it's a popular game.
On the upside, Viber was sent in for submission.

I was disappointed also as I never cared for Temple Run but it is a very popular game and it's good to have it on WP8. I hear Temple Run 2 is better. Wonder if we will ever see that? I really just want Waze for myself. My wife wants instagram. It's the only reason I haven't been able to get her to move from the iPhone to WP8.

I have a feeling that TR2 will be coming soon, but I'm not 100% sure. I also want Instagram. There have been leaked images of it being on the store, and rumors say that it will be released in May.

Yeah I played it for a minute and got bored. Maybe im just not a gamer. I want more productivity and tool apps.

Yep, I'm the same way. I like browsing through the tools + productivity section more than I like browsing through games.

Belfiore should just "shut up and ship". Unless the next teaser is notification center.

^ This. In his defense though, getting buzz is his job...but I'd rather buzz about an exclusive app, not an old port.

I want to fight Joe in a cage match for hyping up Temple Run.lol

 

[Squatting Hen]

I like Temple Run. I am not a heavy gamer anymore and it gives me the chance to play something for a minute that I really don't have to care about getting to a save point or completing a level.

Everyone has a different "big" app. I want MLB At Bat, Hulu Plus and the Official Roku App.

 

[electriclamb]

He should have been hyping up gravity guy 2...

 

[fredolay69]

All I want in this lifetime is for Hulu to come to WP8. Once that happens, i will be the happiest Windows Phone user ever. lol

 

[downhillrider]

personally I think there was something else cooking and it got delayed or put on the back burner. temple run while nice isnt one of those must have apps windowsphone needs. it wasnt even temple run 2.

 

[Villain]

Temple Run was a huge gain... as long as we get temple run 2 soon.

 

[deadwrong03]

its jus a game who cares It shoulda been a bigger apps along the lines of oovoo instagram or something else major let down wasn't worth teasing

 

[jmerrey]

I can understand the hype if it was Temple Run 2, but hyping the previous generation version is absurd.

Belfiore actually dm'd me on twitter and this was the app :/

 

[Jazmac]

That's nuts. Temple Run? TEMPLE RUN?? Are you kidding? A VP?? This cat has one cushy job.

wow,
temple run is a huge app for us to get! yeah its an old app, but the more reason we should have it already! hopefully temple run 2 comes out soon, they're probably testing the water with the original one, and from the over 1000 rates and reviews its gotten in less than a week, it means that a lot of people were waiting for it and have downloaded it.
Also not to mention that we also got Ruzzle the same week, which is a huge new fad game (over 35 million users, and it only launched in January on the Appstore) that all the teens/college kids are obsessed with, and I thought we weren't going to see it for Months, for us to have it only after a month and a half since android got it is huge!
Give Joe Belfiore a break

Only launched in January? You might want to check that, me and my girlfriend stopped playing it last year. Android and ios respectively.

Personally I like Temple Run and wouldn't have mind Joe Belfiore hyping it up so much if it only worked well.

Or am I the only one who finds TR laggy and unresponsive to the point of being unplayable?
