Dance Dance Revolution [PS3]

[JP]

I have no idea what sort of following these games have now but just read about this on C&VG.

Yes, DanceDanceRevolution fans, it?s true?we?re bringing DDR to the PS3! And we?re bringing YOU to the launch party. Thursday evening, August 12, in LA. Join us in person, on Twitter, or on Facebook for exclusive, interactive, fan-friendly, multiplayer Music & Motion fun. Stay tuned for more exciting details.

No mention of formats apart from PS3 but that could well change, I wonder if Move will be involved in some way?

Pfft, I win by virtue of having my name in red.

this was announced ages, and then seemed to disappear.
i was waiting for it to resurface. i assume it will have some move stuff added. but i'd be happy with a normal mat version.

Pfft, I win by virtue of having my name in red.

Yeah, what?

They'll have to make a dance mat for it then, won't they? AFAIK none of the previous versions were USB.

The loss of the old style controller ports killed my Bemani addiction. I tried normal USB converters but the lag killed it, then I got a special adapter that was advertised as being specfically for GF/DM, and it was almost perfect - but almost is not good enough at high tempo and I ended up having to play off beat. Do-able, but not fun. I guess the same problem will exist for the DDR controller.

Well this looks like the 360 version is cancelled as it's not listed?
This was supposed to be out last Christmas on both formats and disappeared, nice to see it resurface.

[Number45]

Yeah, what?

I posted the same story at the same time, but I obviously deleted mine before you saw it thus making that comment seem completely confusing.

I thought it was some sort of DDR in-joke that I wasn't understanding.

I've only played the two games on my iPhone and also seen the mad arcade videos but this seems to be hard work from looking at the arcade versions. It'd be nice if they kept the Japanese music in the game as I think it seems perfect for this sort of thing.

[JP]

No idea if this a good thing or not.

For the first time in the history of the franchise, DanceDanceRevolution PS3 will feature a truly interactive dance experience via PlayStation Move as it challenges players to use both their hands and feet simultaneously - providing the most rhythmic and realistic dancing experience yet on PlayStation 3!

Additionally, compatibility with the PlayStation EYE allows players to take pictures of their room and add dance club components to transport their home into a virtual club.

Does anyone still play DDR nowdays? seems weird for konami to still keep pushing these out.

Used to love the ps1 versions but now it's a bit stale, the arcade DDR scene is nothing like it was, i'd rather konami push one of their other bemani franchises a bit more, like for instance a proper version of pop n music for one of the home consoles. Wii version dosen't count as it was an abortion of a game.
