what in the blue hell makes you think good charlotte is a good band? i've never seen such shameless (and otherwise pathetic) self-promotion... (example: "hi welcome to all things rock...i'm benji this is my brother joel...we're from the band good charlotte [buy our cd now because we're have our own mtv show!!!!]) not to mention that their music sucks and sounds like manure hitting the fan...did i mention that no drummer wants to play with them?
do yourself a favor and listen to some actual punk...go get some ramones or sex pistols or something _________________

I ment pop rock / pop-punk, not real punk.
anyway, didn't they say in the interview with Akira Y. that they are working on another DDR, though maybe I misread it _________________

The real question I wanna know is WHY?
Why would Konami kill DDR? It's blowing up in america right now and from what media i've seen it's real popular in japan. So why would Konami go and discontinue such a popular simualation like ddr???
It's not as if Konami has any real compition for DDR Games so there is no threat to their business.
I guess it's just one of those great wonders of the world that no one will have a answer for... _________________

Incase you don't want to read the whole thing.

So yeah, don't quit playing and they won't quit making.
And to go along with the thread you have to be real careful when picking punk songs for DDR. Stuff like Across the Nightmare ect is close, but not quite like some of the American stuff you've suggested. Personally I think they did a great job with the new songs that came out with Extreme, so just do somthing like that again and I would be pleased. |

Konami announced DDR Exteme is the final mix.
DDR is dead in Japan, and you haveto realize they really dont care about how popular DDR machines are in the US. Remember, they arent even supposed to be here for that matter.
And another DDR mix would thrill me anyway. The game is getting boring and rather repetitive. I barely find myself playing it nowadays. _________________

Although I have my doubts about the interview with Akira Y., I also have doubts about Extreme being the final mix for DDR. It could probably go either way depending on demand.
Oh, and wasn't the full announcement "DDR Extreme will be the final mix on the current cabinet"?
Edit: Personally I want licensed songs from the Dancemania EX series, Speed 10 and Speed G, Trancemania 3, and FantasiA series...

You named the two bands I despise the most. Don't even get me started on that generic crap-music that sounds like absolutely nothing at all.
I don't want any of that stuff on DDR. It's a dancing game, and it needs DANCE MUSIC. i.e. More stuff from IIDX, and more Dancemania stuff. period. Also, if Konami wants more Japanese players to get back into it, they need to put more J-Pop on there... like Ayumi Hamasaki or Utada Hikaru.... yes, it would cost them more money, but it would get them more of a mainstream crowd.
And where did they say it was the last one? The way they designed it, it could go either way. I think they planned it that way.
Let's analyzing!!
1998 - DDR came out in 1998, now there's a song named that. With the B2U dog in the background.
Dance Dance Revolution - A song named after the game. Sounds like a final goodbye.
More songs than any other mix - Going out with a bang
No subtitle. It's not 8th Mix, it's just "Dance Dance Revolution Extreme". (Although if you look closely during the menus you'll see some stuff that says "MAX/03".... kinda saying it's MAX3.... but it's not). :-P
A new Trip Machine and a New Paranoia - Once again, going out with a bang.
Then we have the flipside:
"We're Starting Over!!! Thanx to all the DDR players!" - This can be interpreted as starting DDR over again (like with IIDX).... OR it can be thought of as Konami saying they're leaving DDR behind to work on something else, and DDREX is a final thank you to the DDR players.
Konami hasn't made any official remarks about it being the last mix to my knowledge. When Beatmania ended, they made a "Beatmania -Final Mix-". DDR is more popular than 5-key, so I would think they would let us know ahead of time if it was the last one. Of course, you could also say they were holding out just in case DDREX got the same or more attention than MAX2 did.
So you see, it could really go either way. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. DDR still has a lot of players, in both the US and Japan, but it needs something big to jump-start it again.... and that might be what the marketing people at Konami are thinking up right now.... we'll just have to wait and see.... if it exists, it's gonna hafta be big, and Konami knows that. DDRMAX didn't work. They have to do more than that kinda thing.... and if they are working on it, I can't wait to see what's up their sleeve.

Actually, that "MAX/03" statement refers to the number of stages available in each mode (Single / Double / Versus play). If your machine is set to 4 songs per credit, then you'll see "MAX/04" (it actually says "Max Stage" if you look carefully). |

^Agreed.
Dance Dance Revolution should contain mainly dance music. The occasional speed metal, jazz, whatever wierd new ethnic songs that Re-Venge comes up with, and variances are fine, but adding songs from GC etc would be goig too far and won't happen. If you look, the few songs that are put into DDR that aren't originals or remixed old originals are *@$&ing old. Let's Groove, So Fabulous, Over the Rainbow, Never Ending Story, need I say more? _________________

DDR mixes need to be diverse. If some people vote for American pop music, heavy metal, and other forms of music then they should be given a chance in a new DDR mix. Regardless of how other people don't like their presence.
As for Extreme being the last arcade mix. Seams dubious after reading the interview. We'll see for sure. Only time will tell. |
