DJ MAX FEVER Developer Interview - Open Questions

[eddie]

Thanks to great folks over at PM Studios we are being given the opportunity to interview some of the development team behind the upcoming US release of DJ MAX FEVER for PSP. While we have some great questions lined up ourselves, we decided to allow you, the fans, to get some of your questions answered in the process.

Until 10:00pm Tuesday, Sept. 2nd this thread will be open for you to post any questions you'd like to see us ask the developers. The questions we feel would be the most insightful or interesting to see answered will be used during our interview. When replying please keep your questions related to the series itself and it's development process.

I think I got the biggest one that might be a good suggestion...

1) Will the game use the locked game save feature from DJMax Portable 2, the community was kind of both supportive because you actually had to earn the last ranks with the challenging XC modes, but not as supportive because the game is that challenging that people just want a cheap unlock process. Don't forget if you break 1 PSP (djmax or just damage over time/upgrading to new model)

[Loserbait]

Choose whichever ohoho.

Language options: Will they be the same as DJ Max 2 (ie. Korean, Japanese, English)?
Old songs: How many revivals? Is a list available?
New songs: How many new songs? Any licenses by known American hip-hop/r'n'b artists?
Songs (general): Samples available for songs?
Artwork: Official wallpapers, downloads?
Artists: croove, ND (Andy) Lee, Tsukasa, and Ruby Tuesday, to name a few... Any other artists from DJ Max showing their heads?
EZ2: Any artists (music/graphic) as well as other crew from the EZ2 series that will debut in Fever?
General: Is this heading only for U.S./EU shores or will there be a localized release in Korea/Japan?
Unlocks: What new unlocks can we expect?

And the one question that is on the tips of ALL DJ Max fans' mouths:
Can we expect to see a Limited Edition released at roughly the same time as the standard game's release?

I can't think of any others...

Are there any plans/interests on moving the series onto other platforms, such as Xbox Live Arcade or Playstation Network?

[Corootai_dolphin]

by the way thanks so much for giving the fans a chance to speak our minds ^_^

1.)any chance of seeing previews songs from the new aracde release appearing on this new release. "ie: first kiss" or any other songs that haven't made it to a psp release?

2.) what are your plans for download content? will you do the rock band route, bi weekly/monthly downloads. if you are planing dlc what are some of the stuff we're looking at new art,songs, addons?

3.) if we are to pay out of the pocket for these Download content. are we able to use in game currency or just nomral psn style of stuff?

1:Will the Game have Game-sharing Capabilities?
2: WIll the Games internet feature be other than Ad Hoc? Such as Player vs Player on Network?

[Kσn]

1. what are the differences between the korean versions of the game, and the U.S. version?

2. Will we be expecting U.S. exclusive songs?

3. is there any features that are taken out or added to FEVER, that were not in the korean games?

4. will we be expecting any songs on this version that are on the previously announced arcade game?

[RADIORAMA]

1) Can you guys make the song "Your Own Miracle" a regular selection for the game not a special one where its only accessed for achieving 95% on the game mode I really would like that. Oh and make it have multiple difficulties. One normal style one hard.

2) DJM2 has a problem with using some mods. If an item yields say 10% + GOLD ability they don't give you what the proper amount suggests. It practically makes buying items nothing more than to change the appearance, no noticeable perks apart from looks. Will Fever give you five, ten, twenty, thirty percent extra or will it remain the same as MAX 2's?

[bucknasty89]

are there going to be any chart changes. such s the Blythe chart change in dj max 2 from one.

[zonic505]

1.) Is it going to be like the International version of the 1st game (Korean) & have songs &/or videos censored? I read that (thankfully) you're keeping the so-called "controversal" songs.

2.) The boxart will look NOTHING like the preliminary package cover, right?

3.) If you're going to keep the original lyrics, if there a chance there could be subtitles in the mode that lets you watch the videos w/o playing the game?

[wheeliedude]

1.) Is there going to be proper marketing for FEVER?
2.) Will the overall time needed to unlock content be reduced, or kept the same as the previous two games?

[wheeliedude]

Will there be LE sets?
What is the estimated MSRP for the game (and the LE sets, if they will be made) going to be?

I can answer 1 and 2, since they were already answered in the Siliconera article.

1.)Yes, the controversial songs are being kept.
2.)Yes, the box-art shown was a placeholder box-art.

[zonic505]

1.) By "being kept", that means uncensored, correct?

2.) By "look NOTHING", I mean that they won't use the same art style.

The only thing wrong with Dreadnaught is the image of Bush, but the song bashes a lot of important figures. I'd be happy just to have the song, since that's what I really want.
