DanceDanceRevolution (PS3 & Xbox 360) (International)

The arrows look more traditional in that pic I posted earlier...

True, true. And yeah, this is gonna make for a truly fulfilling DDR experience even for completionists! Imagine how much more challenging the game will be, even with the Balance Board charts/mode. I think it's clear that the Wii version is the header as far as innovation goes for the DDR games. I'm also thinking as to how scoring will be done now and how they'll separate everything. I'm getting giddy just thinking about it. I swear, if Konami surprises me with this release again (e.g., confirming DLC for Wii; adding online play, adding Edit Mode for Wii, reintroducing Doubles for Wii), I'm gonna be ridiculously happy.

The corner arrows have squares around them.

The 8-panel mode is probably a seperate mode, that isn't incorporated into the main game?

IE : Eyetoy Mode on PS2 games, and the Xbox 360 Pop'n Music game.

It makes sense for it to have a different gameplay interface. It already has the interface forced into the middle of the screen.

I have strong belief that the 8 arrow mode is separate from the traditional 4 arrow mode.

What's everyone's wishlist for the four remaining artists whom we know have licenses on the game?

Extreme Ways / Moby
Ordinary World / Duran Duran
My Humps / Black Eyed Peas (ho ho ho, for the hilarity of it)
Enjoy The Silence (Reinterpreted) / Depeche Mode

Technomotion returns!

I find it hilarious how the diagonal arrows are in the same order as PIU.

I see I wasn't the only one who noticed that. The whole gameplay screen just screams SM4

I am dying for a trailer about now. Seriously.

Same here. Or even some conference footage. A trailer WAS shown so hopefully one will come up REAL soon...

Apparently the PS3 controller:

That doesn't look bad actually.

Looks quite nice to me.

Techno Motion will sue

@darknight: I just thought of something, man. Do you think they could incorporate Wii Motion Plus for the intricate movements especially now that they're doing multi-directional Hand Markers?

I can't believe you guys actually think 8 panel mode will work. Have you forgotten why you turn off the Dance Play option? Don't you remember the trouble it causes when you turn it on, and have the corners acting as arrows? The fact is, most people are trained to hit with their foot flat, which means it hits two arrows in 8 panel mode. Even the few people that hit with their toes tend to drop onto their heels occasionally. Staying up on your toes for the whole time you're playing will leave you a lot more sore than you're used to.
I think 8 panel mode will be a big failure simply due to the basic mechanics of how people step.
If you disagree, simply turn Dance Play on for a while, and wonder why you get random almosts and goods in places.
I'm not even going to bother going into Konami only having 2 competent step artists.

As for the songs, Disturbia is the only one I recognize, and I've already got 2 good simfiles for it.

It's a new play style, like DOUBLE. If you don't want to adapt, don't play it. Of course current play styles won't cut it, but that's the point, it's something new, you can't just lazily apply your technique to it. Playing on one's toes is also a fantastic calf workout.

8 panel shock arrows.

We already have that. Doubles shock arrows .
