I did not mention those 2 names for their OWN music i mentioned them because they are very well known for playing other famous composers music like bach and motzart etc.

wow thx for the small spoiler but i can only hope that they don't over do it w/ the rap music. The only rap song i really enjoyed was rappers delight. but this new song well, im not really feeling it.....I don't like the way how all the asain people in the song are trying to look more "americanish" that kind of turned me off a bit. the song it's self i just did not care for =( and is that video gunna be the background? what about the lenght too isn't that a bit long for a song? lastly i heard rumors of 3d arrows. somone confirm this plz thanks

That new song is really awesome. I can't wait to see if it's actually in it.

Debut the game already, AM. ;~;

So far some interesting tidbits of info are leaking out, so I'll update the OP as I hear it.

For now, the first few songs are the hottest news I can think of.

I can't WAIT for the biggest revelations.

I'll quote it here if you dont' feel like backtracking:

FIRST PICTURES!

Straight outta MX.

< ~ Bullfighter's Song, new BanYa

Pump drama is back on stage once again. People actually think the new interface is something to whine about.

I'm *totally* digging the new look. I'm jealous that somewhere already has the game. ;~;

I can't wait til we find out more about the songlist!

I call this a big HOAX!

In addition...

I've hacked Prex 3 enough to be able to see it in any machine. Here's what I have a problem with:

1) The station select screenshot is just the song select screenshot edited, and it's easily feasible to do this for Prex 3. An incriminating aspect is the fact that the Red and Blue arrows are in the EXACT spot for Prex 3 as well.

2) The disc image is exactly in the same position as Prex 3's was; the timer is easily modifiable to be placed in a lower section of the screen than usual.

3) It's conceivable and easy to be able to doctor the interface DAT to display the stable image which shows the channel and the difficulty info

4) The scoring is CLEARLY Prex 3's, since it lacks the Zero multipliers that have been proven to exist.

5) The separate notecounts are the result of the use of the Division mode hack and the use of Division mode stepcharts. By choosing different difficulties each time a difficulty step appears, it's conceivable to get different stepcounts. So it's not iron proof that this is not Prex 3.

6) There is a title screen of this particular machine, and there is no NOTICABLE copyright where it should be. The logo is too flat, and there is no build number. Suspicious.

7) The Intro video with its framerate looks a LOT like a modified Extra DAT.

It's very easy to have it play clearly with the right amount of messing with the interface DATs.

8) It's far too suspicious for a game's screenshots to be released with this amount of detail BEFORE the game has even arrived!

9) AM cannot conceivably expect to sell a mix that looks worse than Zero graphically, even if the rumor that Freevolt is no longer working with AM proves true. This looks nowhere near as polished as even the PREMIERE 2 days!

If AM were lazy, they would've just used the Zero interface again and added the new channels as well as the new songs; that's the simplest thing they could do. Why redesign such a crappy interface and make more work for themselves? In addition, having spent so much on WPF and the promotion on Zero in the past, would it not be financial suicide to make a game look LESS attractive?

I am convinced that there is something amiss with these images, considering how much I've worked with Prex 3 in the past. So I think we should ALL wait for more info from when PIU hits Mexico.

-Exceed SE songs = not present
-GTPS = not present
-Pray = confirmed
-Revival : Guilty Conscience
-Revival : Lazenca, Save Us
-The new graphic designers are called NexCade
-New Easy Station, with lessons for beginners
-World Tour mode = Mission Mode on crack
-'Special Station' = hybrid of arcade/remix/full versions, including Vook, Beethoven Virus, and Kiss Me(!?).
-New Kpop includes Epik High, DJ DOC, Dynamic Duo, among many others

There's bound to be a flood of news soon, so stay tuned.

Chimera CZ. 210 BPM of death.

It is the Mozart remix. I wish I could find out what those other songs are though... the only one I recognize is Witch Doctor #1(a new one).
