DDR Uni3, DDRX, DDR HP2 officially announced! (56k Warning!)

[Zonic]

Did any Extreme AC revivals make it in?

[Alexi Stuvok.THV]

So I was looking through the data on the DDR X disc, since Konami likes to leave random songs elsewhere on the disc. Of course, I found one in the SOUND.DAT file. Problem is, I have no idea what it is. I think it sounds like what plays during SMM, whenever you complete a character's story. It's length could make it a DDR song, though. If anyone else has found it, what are your thoughts of it?

So has anyone messed with the timing option in DDRX?

Uhh, I wouldn't exactly consider X either mainstream OR able to gain more people...

Still having fun with it. I like SMM, actually. It's not the most fun thing ever, but it gives me a good laugh.

Thoughts on DDRX:

-I completely agree with everything Wolfman Jake said earlier. I think is a very decent mix and will keep me entertained for a while.

-I don't really care that most of the songs are new. I really slept on SN2 and didn't pick it up until like 2 months ago, I was already new to most of its songlist, DDRX is almost completely foreign to me, yet I still really like it. I've been playing DDR since 3rd Mix was the newest mix and I can honestly say I don't really care for too many pre-SuperNOVA songs anymore, of courst I'll always have my favorites but I think I've heard every pre-SN era song played to death (don't even get me started on Extreme songs). Yay the remaining SN2 songs and Soul Crash!!

I'm glad KONAMI put in the effort to create a whole bunch of new songs for us! They're not all gems, but most of them aren't too bad! Especially now that I'm unlocking stuff.

-SMM is fun. It's kinda slow but its about time DDR at least had some kind of storyline. Either way it beats SN2's crap dance master mode or whatever it was. I also like all the updated character art we get to see and character models. Kudos to Konami for including Alice.

-The licenses do kind of leave something to be desired. 30 Lives, Wine Red, The Sound of Freedom, and Synthesized are some of my favorites, we could've gotten some better choices but there's also some very good KOs this time around that are like license quality (Darwin's songs, Insp------n, S---- W---).

-Lots of background videos , the ones for new KOs (like Flourish) look even higher quality then, for example EX2's "exclusive" videos.

-The hottest MODE SELECT theme since EX . Can't wait to hear it remastered on the Megamix (EX's remastered theme was amazing!)

-My only complaints thus far: The announcer is horrible, what were they thinking? Why are Nonstop/Oni the SAME damn courses. Lazyness on Konami's part. WHY NO ONLINE MODE?!?!

At first DDRX kind of reminded me of a PS2 Ultramix. We've got a lot of "indie" new music but the stepcharts are pretty bomb. Good work to KOA!

As to the announcer, I honestly don't know what to think. I've said it before, and I don't think that the the Urban theme was the best idea, but its something different so I'll take it. That said, if Konami is going to go with themes like this it better change up EVERY release, kind of like Pop'n does. Also, multiple announcers and unlock-able announcers would be AWESOME. I'd love to see at least two choices per game (one could even be an old school announcer).

Also--AKIRA. Give Me Akira.

OOps, stupid double post.

[violently average]

THE ANNOUNCER SHOULD BE PUT TO DEATH FOR HIS CRIMES AGAINST DDR.
ONLY NOT DEATH.
JUST...MAYBE PROBATION FROM KONAMI OR ITS GAMES FOR LIFE.
INCLUDING DDR.
ESPECIALLY DDR.

I have both Wii & PS2. I like techno / dance music...I loved ITG, DDR Max 2, and Extreme 2. I thought the first Hottest Party Wii game had some awesome songs. I liked the addition of the hand moves too, but thought they only worked like 75% of the time.

My question is: To those that have played both these new games, is it worth picking either up? I'm sick of being let down by DDR's music lately...thought Super Nova & Super Nova 2 were a waste of money. They each entertained me for about 1 week each, while games like Extreme 2, Max 2, and ITG have entertained me for years.

Also, has the nunchuk sensitivity been fixed for HP2, allowing it to register every time?

X seems to have a theme going with dance/trance. Here's a few examples:

Got the game today!

At 1st, I thought, "oh, the new announcer isn't so bad." THEN I PLAYED SMM. My God, he made the old announcer sound amazing. I turned him off, but unlike the old announcer, he's STILL annoys me when I choose me music!

SMM is alright. I KINDA like not having to go through & get so many points for a song (& COSTUMES!), but the story is "meh", though it still has its moments.

Once I unlock everything, I'll give my opinion of the songlist & such.

Also, LOUIS-CONCERN III IS AWESOME. I laughed when I 1st saw him.

Going to edit sig so I don't have to hear "WHAT'S THAT ANIME PLAYING DURING TRUST?!?" & "WHICH ANIME IS PLAYING DURING VENUS?!". Believe me, it helped during EX2.

Oddly enough, the announcer will shut up for boss songs.

Yeah, SN1 was the rock mix. Here It Goes Again is actually the best rock license we have ever gotten aside from Rock Lobster (though it still could've been replaced with a better song). Girigili and Venus are GREAT.

Now I'm beginning to realize that this game is a lot better than people say it is. The licenses are close to the least interesting (kinder, truer way of saying worse than most other games), but it gets better as I listen to the. but Here We Go, Sound of Freedom, that Edun song, U Can't Touch This, and a few others are pretty darn good. Would've preferred more mainstream, but hey, why complain about what we didn't get right after the game comes out? Not until they ask for feedback. The stepcharts are great. The KOs leave something to be desired, but if you didn't get SN2 JP, they're pretty good. The originals aren't that great except for a few that X JP are guaranteed to get.

This mix is actually shaping up. And the announcer isn't THAT annoying. Cheesy, but not that annoying. They could've done worse. Say, an emo or surfer, or stoner announcer.

"Gosh, you're so good, I cut myself because I can't be that good....." Or.... "Your dance was so depressing I could cut myself." "GNARLY!" "Whoa, total crash man." "Eheheheh, you're good...." "Eheheheh, you failed, awesome."

Another few things, what is the Secret Folder in Information, and is there a "You got all songs!" announcement or something? I think I got them all....

Secret Folder? Songs from Disney Mix on the master playlist? It makes me wonder if there is more on DDR X than we have found out by now...
