lapistoria too.

Pendual and Lapistoria were dissapointing.
Copula and eclale were massive improvements.
prop was ok, though I look forward to Quebell

also 400 posts yae

I mean, at least it's not SPADA...

copula's theme is a 5% downgrade from Pendual. Pendual had matching colors (either white/grey or purple/black) and more animations on each screen. The generic movies in Pendual were better. (And fewer!) Pendual's theme had perfect sfx for each menu action. The dual voices were nice too - a huge improvement over the unintelligible Max Maximizer. copula isn't really worse, it's just not as slick. Train whistle. I'm pretty sure the gate shut animation is from 8th style . IIDX still has the best themes of any Bemani game in my opinion. I wouldn't rate copula above Pendual, but even if I did I also wouldn't say there's a gap between them. How could you?

eclale was a huge improvement over Lapistoria yes. But Lapistoria looks like it came out 10 years after Sunny Park. That's what I mean about games having an identity. DDR hasn't had that since the "vs 2nd Mix" gimmick.

Sure the theme may not be the greatest, but...you're missing the point...

There are more movies in Copula though that aren't generic.
There are waaaay better songs in Copula than Pendual.
The content isn't disappointing.

If all you are basing it by is just the theme...then God help you.

Gahhhhh I'm so behind on the music from the last game. This chart does look kinda fun, song is a bit generic though.
Looks like the characters and background visuals are the same as the last one.

Wow, everyone's divided on this new chart.

It looks above average. Maybe biased because the difficulty is in my "fun" range; doesn't really feel understepped, at least not after the intro. Song is... also above average, I guess. So B+ song overall? Yay?

i think the chart is fine
the song is what i have problems with
not normal, given my penchant for U1

---

It's still on DDR 2014 as a preview song, so we have no clue if the visuals will look any different when it releases. (they will, at least the GUI anyways)

Anyways, as far as themes I think PENDUAL was trucking beautiful. SPADA looked neat too, although a tad on the edgy side. COPULA seems...eh to me, but I can see the appeal. Music is too subjective to be able to really say WOW THAT MIX OF (bemani game) SUCKED unless it's like really bad. As far a specific songs, konzert v anyone?
...how did we even get to discussing IIDX again? And why am I commenting on games I haven't played? aside from bms files of 1st-spada

Ok, so we don't have any information about this game, and I'm aware of that (lol 11 pages of hype already).

But does anyone know (or have an estimated guess) of when we'll get some sort of info about the game? Not when the game will come out or anything like that; just a guess on when we'll actually get anything beyond a title page and "PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR".

This week's BeNama will almost certainly talk about DDR, at least for a little bit. Hopefully we'll get at least location test details out of it.

I want to believe that there may be a Location Test either on march or april

This is an exciting piece of news to see on my visit here today!

At this point I'm just happy to see something new and fresh happening in this franchise because I was a little worried about it, admittedly. Even if it ends up not being available around me, after being so disconnected form anything current happening in DDR between X and 2014, it's just feels good for me to actually see new things unfolding, aside from the occasional song addition that I'll never get to see and experience for myself. Looking forward to see what happens next!

I might die if the Loctest happens whilst I'm in Japan...

I might die harder if it's a couple days off.

Late to hop on the Hands In The Air bashing, but i'll join anyway. Wow this sounds generic. More of the same style, not that i'm surprised. Steps are so-so, i'm sure the lower charts are better but nobody sees to play or care about the lower charts as far as I know.
It's not something that would make me want to play the game.

---

Pendual was the best style to come along in a long time, your taste sucks lol.

Surprised this was announced while I was at MAGFest? Definitely.
Optimistic about the new theme and possible UI interface changes? Totally.
Will this live up to the hype? Honestly, can't say for sure.
Will Konami fuck this release up? Almost 70% guaranteed.

But all in all this was a pleasant surprise, especially coming from me. Yo Konami, don't fuck this up please?

Hey guys, Do you think there will finally be a 20 footer? or do you think the rating system is gonna be changed? Will we get a new MAX song? Or a new Evolved song? maybe the results screen will only go up to A lol Anyway, Im hyped for this!

---

I'm, like, 50% sure we're FINALLY going to get a song rated 20 in this new DDR game. But, I can't prove anything just yet. We'll have to just wait and see!

Why do you need 20 footers ... ?

19 footers are all you need ...
