Jubeat - New music game by konami

The Black · 02-17-2008, 04:05 PM

I don't like it.

YouTube - jubeat????????????? 02

Reason?

For me, it looks stupid, needs more than usual amount of memorization, doesn't offer positive reinforcement, unconventional playing angle.

I actually play ouendan lying down. Bleh. :P

From what I've seen, it's like Ouendan/EBA, except without any wacky stories. And square.

Cabinet looks cool, though.

and looks like you don't need to follow much the music in this game

ranatalus · 02-18-2008, 04:02 PM

so are you saying you have played this, the black?

The Black · 02-19-2008, 12:41 AM

nono, I'm saying what I can imagine looking at the video

I won't knock it completely before actually being able to play it, but from what I see, it looks really easy and pointless...I imagine if it IS just touching squares as they light up, that the OST would really have to make up for it.

Yuki Ijuin · 02-19-2008, 06:21 PM

You can get to play it provided it reaches the states you mean.

I agree with you, this is why in my post I've written IMHO

Yuki Ijuin · 02-20-2008, 08:22 PM

Won't knock it completely means will knock it to some extent right? I won't deny there's a chance I might like this game. But I'm still going to knock it until I don't feel like playing it. :P

It looks like it could prove to be a difficult game. The guy was hitting 2 squares at a time at opposite ends of the screen simultaneously.

Let's beg Konami to bring JuBeat to America because IIDX sure ain't coming overseas!!

beatmania is just touching buttons and moving a disc.
DDR is just stepping on arrows.
pop'n music is just touching buttons.

and yet all of those games can be very challenging. Imagine it going fast enough that three or four start to light up before you hit the first note. It could potentially be very challenging and fun.

Don't know what to say... But I hope Konami can add some DIFFICUT stages into this game... *Thought of playing this with one-hand + move your arm around alot... ^^;*

IIDX and Pop'n Music involves you putting together entire songs

DDR has you moving your entire body to music

Get where Im going with this?
