Can I just say... this looks COMPLETELY different from what everyone was expecting back in January. Totally different interface, looks kind of like ultramix. Lots of licenses (YMCA yay...), and a Akira Yamaoka song from Silent Hill! (Your Rain (Rage Mix)). Eye Toy support also looks... interesting... kind of like a Para Para + DDR Cross or something... plus other modes...

Discuss!

[Shin-Peter]

WOW!! E3 is busting out all the interesting games this year... Last year, just sucked... I can safely say that US DDR now kills JAPAN DDR.

[Craz]

:O YES YES, that looks so hot

[Bryan]

Wow, talk about Konami pulling out all the stops. I'm waiting to see what fun the Eye Toy brings to DDR. I'm sure TGA will be on top of this little craze. And I didn't expect the interface to change at all, that really floored me. Again, it's not as design savvy as I had wished it to be, but we'll have to wait and see.

[Darius]

Wow... just... wow.

I can't wait for this to come out, I"m really excited... looks AWESOME....

I see drool all over the this thread. Hopefully no one slips.

[Devil Warrior]

Its almost like Konami wants lots of licenses, since Karaoke Revolution did so well, they probably want to get something off that. Sure, Bemani songs are nice, but not everyone likes them as much.

[Craz]

Konami seems to bet getting their asses in gear. Maybe they might make another arcade DDR Machine afterall

/me holds his breath, really hoping that they do so.

[Ghost]

i can see it now, the completion of my evil plan to phase the arrows completely out of ddr is drawing nigh! HAH HAH HAH! :guin:

[Devil Warrior]

Who needs arrows when we have the EyeToy?

[Radio]

What happened to the stomping arrows game? Someone please tell me where the stomping arrows game went.

[Devil Warrior]

All those leave/vine things are covering it.

[Junior G-Man]

"Highs off U" and "The Reflex" have sold me on this game

[Ishbo]

Who needs arrows when we have the EyeToy?

That is true.

[Dipstick]

Am I the only one who looks at this new interface and sees the unwed child of DDR Ultramix and In The Groove? Or am I on some LSD trip here?

That and here is to hoping that Konami bothers to make some interesting and/or difficult stepcharts for some of the new songs, unlike with MAX or MAX2 US (hell, even the ones from Extreme were bleh -- but they were more fun, at least).

Nope, I see it too Dippy. You aren't the only one...

[Junior Asparagus]

Well, we'll see how they come out in the finished product....but the songs I played weren't simple 5-6 footers like they've put in the US home versions in the past. They were fairly interesting.

[KenpoCoyote]

Whoa, where are you guys seeing the song list?! I visited those two links and couldn't find it! Anyone have a link to the full or so-far song list?! k thx bye

[Shotgun]

Oh SNAP yo!

[Dr. J]

this looks awesome!!!

[TraumaFox]

The interface makes me want to cry. :crybaby:

[KenpoCoyote]

It's like the interface for DDR1. What I think Konami is doing is returning DDR to its "roots." Squaresoft did the same thing with Final Fantasy IX: "FF9 returns to its “roots”, meaning the story and plot will be shitty and predictable once again." Let's hope DDR Extreme (which should be called "DDR X-treme" or "DDR SEXtreme") doesn't fall victim to the same poor judgment of developers and blow 60 FPS ass-chunks.

[Hi-C]

looks awesome but we will have and wait and see what its like when it comes out, cant wait!!

[DDRFREAKRI]

Its looks good , but I dont think that it is gonna have some really good songs that the DDR Extreme (JP) has. I am gonna end up buying it anyways because I think It might have Witch Doctor and Senorita(Speedy Mix.) Oh yah I also found some confrimed songs for DDR Extreme (US).

They also say that there is going to be maybe all of the characters since ddr started on this game, I am not 100% sure of this so dont quote me. There is also said to be in the 70 range for songs.


Does anyone know how many characters the DDR Extreme (JP Import) has???

[DJ_Midnite]

Im pumped for this, Move Your Feet will have the video too^^

[shinigami_2057]

I give up. I really, really do.
