Anyone have any advise to getting Club Master Trophy... in other words what is the requirement for getting the "Club Master" rank when playing Club mode?

---

I was playing on controller for a bit and noticed that when your gauge is full, hitting the analog stick would activate some point generating "star power"-like thing

Did you mean this one?


I think some previous pages away, someone has mentioned that there were only Perfect, Great, Good & Miss. Correct me if i'm wrong.

---

I have yet to get that, myself, even when I played 20 stages and had the crowd excitement gauge maxed out at the end. Maybe we have to fill in that progress bar on the Club Mode menu?

I got that trophy my second time though club mode. Did 20 songs. Also wouldnt mind people that played DDR on my PSN Friend list. Feel free to add me PSN is ChaoticRage.

Yup. It's in the manual.

I myself unlocked Club Master finally. It seemed only a FULL GREAT COMBO did the work in a 4 song Other Clubs run. I recommend everyone to try to work towards Club Master before you let the TRICK level maximums get too high.

This took quite a bit of time, hopefully there's no mistakes =/

btw, not sure if anyone said it yet, but to scroll on the music wheel, you use up and down... The game is still pretty cool though =) First time playing Octo-move, I was thinking "what the heck" but then I realised that it's quite fun.

So... everything is still rated on the 10-foot scale...

Many thanks for this, do keep us updated on the unlocks.

How many versions of New York Evolved are there?

Been a min folks, but wanted to kinda chime in with my 2 pennies on the PS3 installment of our beloved DDR.

I personally don't have too many complaints about this version. When I first saw the licenses, I felt kinda meh about 'em, but after playing them and their steps, they've mostly grown on me. I would have preferred the remix of 'Missing' though, and 'Love Letter' would have been a better choice for Leona Lewis, but all-in-all they aren't that bad.

The thing I'm noticing most about this one is that it seems to be a hybrid of DDR and IIDX. Think about it:
- GOODs adding to the combo (weird)
- the splash after making a step
- instead of an OK after a freeze, it adds to the combo (weird)
- arrows having their own column separated by lines
- judgments going above the steps instead of midscreen

I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting, but I remember YEARS ago after DDR Extreme, some people kinda hoped for a new spin on DDR and some wondered if there would be like a DDR IIDX or something. This seems to be the closest thing to it, and IMO, it ain't half bad, though I do have my issues with this game:
- noteskins are horrible...HORRIBLE!
- not a fan of octomode for CHALLENGE (sigh)
- jump freezes having one arrow that's not colored right (a la Hottest Party1)
- jump judgments can be lopsided, meaning on a jump one arrow will give you a PERFECT, the other arrow a GREAT (wth?)
- not a fan of the CHAIN, or GROOVE thing. Hope there will be an option to stop CHAINs, and GROOVE is already optional.

If anything, I'm hoping Konami will have some kinda patch DLC to give us:
- the old noteskin
- option to turn off the note backdrop
- removing judgments popping up in the bgvids (yeah, annoying!)
- fixing the jump freeze arrows
- fixing the GOOD combo thing
- fixing jump judgments
- turning CHAINs on/off
- maybe even downloadable DDR themes
- edit mode

But anyway, I think this is a solid game, I've been enjoying it, to my surprise actually... Just needs some tweaks that I think could easily fixed with a patch or 2...or 3. *shrug*

A patch would be the best solution to "fix" all these things they've broken since E3 2009, until then, I still have mixed thoughts about this game.

I doubt they will release a series of patches that can assemble another game by themselves.

Basically you're saying the content's good, the engine blows.

I hear ya al2k4, I'm having mixed feelings as well, and yeah Aeron; content good, engine...broken!

And now that I think about it, I'm actually in support of the CHAIN and GROOVE thing that this game introduces. Why? Because it does actually bring something new to the series, unlike shock arrows which (IIRC) people really didn't like AT ALL (myself included). So I say keep those in, just make an option to turn on/off.

So there's no option to turn those off? *sigh*...

What's the maximum number of players supported at any one time? I'm guessing 2 and not 4.

I have to say, all things considered this is looking like it's going to be a good starting mix for a reboot.

We must remember that they are trying to push a dating concept in a world now flooded with crappy knockoffs and more of the same.

We've got so many dance games that have failed miserably (HMS, Dance Factory, plus MANY MORE), and many many other music games around so it's going to be hard to convince new players that this game has something DIFFERENT to offer, ESPECIALLY since they're ALSO trying to please US, their existing fanbase.

I think while this might not be THE ddr mix that pleases us, I think it should introduce DDR to a number of new people aswell as bringing the franchise to the ps3 in a fashion that is at least relatively exciting for us too.

---

I agree with metalhead... though how many times has DDR been "rebooted" now? We should start calling these games vignettes.

Yeah I admit that it's rather strange at that... but then, while it IS quite immensely successful, to keep it successful it will have to morph, if only slightly every few years. I mean if we were playing DDR 1st mix with just loads more songs, would we still be playing nearly as much?

Just like how rockband has evolved. More of the same gets really boring, no matter HOW good the gameplay is.

---

So let me get this straight... Can you play Step & Move using thediagonal pad arrows instead?

If so, then all is not lost; we still have Octo Mode from the 2009 concept.
