beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro (AC) (Japan)

REMIND YOU OF ANYTHING?

Holy shit, new Siren artwork

Love it.

I'm assuming it's paying homage to 10th Style CS's cover.

Teaser site launched: http://p.eagate.573.jp/game/2dx/20/p/index.html

Holy crap the gameplay interface changed...

---

No more weird ass aspect ratio, 4:3 all the way!

Here's a detailing of what changed based on the loctest http://rapid09.blog135.fc2.com/blog-entry-107.html

Huh. Looks nice but I hope theres still the 2P side/bar graph on the other side of the video. The assymetry of that pic looks kinda bleh.

Holy shit.

It looks very nice, however I'd also like to see what it looks like with 2 players

If the background movie is *THAT* big, wouldn't it become an easy distraction? Unless if the BG Brightness was set at 20% or lower...

And if there was an audience of spectators, which would they pay attention to first? The BG Movie, or the Gameplay on the left?

But these would make for sweet BG-Movies's for Stepmania (eventually).

I wouldn't be surprised if the BG looks like that in that pic because of the e-AMUSE not being used in that gameplay. It's been said that the graph and the video can switch positioned by the player and since the graph isn't in that picture I'm thinking that's how the BG video space will naturally display.

But no matter what exactly is happening with it, I love the new look. This definitely seems to me to be a new chapter and generation of IIDX.

Oh cool a new version of DJMAX--- beatmania IIDX
Seriously though, I'm digging this new interface. I'm really curious as to what the 2-player mode/14-key mode would look like, though.

You know...if people want to focus on gameplay, they are welcome to it.
If people want to focus on the video, they are welcome to that.


I get bored watching people play the same thing over and over again that a BGA is a good option to view while waiting.

I usually draw my attention to the BG movies to ignore the fact that some charts escalate past 1000+ notes

But seriously, that looks so cool. Like everyone else, I'm curious as to how 2 player/14-key mode would look like. But imagine all the BG movies from this game--it would be blindingly HD

Honestly this worries me. BGAs like She is my Wife being in stretch-o-vision. (and not that's not a Healing-D-Vision remix)

---

Wasn't She is my wife released in the last Visual Emotions DVD? I think all of the BGAs there are fully scaled to size and not squashed. Perhaps they'll use that one? Case in point, the Snake Stick video extracted from the DVD below (the video repeats the BGA for some reason)



EDIT: It seems that the user that posted this video on YouTube also has other BGAs in their proper aspect ratios. Take a look at them if you're interested.

---

I hope they do use the Visual Emotions scaling of the videos, or else I see them pulling off a GFDM XG on the older videos (ie. old aspect ratio in the tricoro interface, imagine that).

Today is the launch of the new cabinets, and according Remiwiki, new songs.

Missing DJ Mass MAD Izm* for now

UPDATING!!!

Good point. This is the first time Mass MAD has not been on the default songlist.

---

Or he could be in charge of the Extra Stage.

Oh my

and of course the first video we got just had to be the song we already know.
