DDR for PS3?

djray5000 · 11-23-2006, 12:44 AM

can we expect any versions to come out, or do you at least hope there will be? i know the PS3 has just come out and there hasn't been any word on any releases (or planning) for DDR.

Honestly, can we expect one? after super NOVA, whats bound to come out next? Super NOVA 2? SuperNOVA Extreme!?!?! ROFL xD

DDRMAX: DDR SuperNOVA 2nd Mix LOL

Of course, the arcade mixes are usually ported to the Sony consoles since PS1.

i could see them doing something like puting evey song on one blueray disk and shipping it. maybe a few new ones. If they put a new DDR game out, people will buy it. With each one that comes out people will give it a shot. but i do think a PS3 DDR will be seen.

A PS3 DDR? Maybe. but only if Konami is actually willing to bring back the background videos, except implementing the graphical capabilities of the console. They better also put in at least 100 songs per mix, if not more, or else they'd be wasting an enormous amount of disk space (not that they aren't already). I'd also expect a better looking interface, as many of the 3D models in SuperNova were extremely blocky or lazy, almost as if they came from the N64.

If there will be another DDR, my guess is that it'll still be for PS2. At least I hope so. If they'll force millions of people to cough up $500~600 bucks just to get a couple new songs, I think it's back to stepmania.

They should just cram as many songs as possible onto a disc and sell it. If they do something like stepmania where every song shares a repository of 'RandomMovies' and they each script their own order or whatever that should save enough space to fit ALL the DDR songs onto one dvd.

I don't own a PSX, PS2, or PS3, but here are some of my thoughts on the idea (and some thoughts for improving DDR in general).

Graphically, I can't think of anything new that Konami can do that uses the PS3's capabilities (except bringing back background videos). If there is DDR on PS3 (which there probably will be), I think that Konami will use the cuts from Beatmania IIDX for any IIDX songs that appear on future DDR home versions (and arcade versions). Also, I think to see the videos from Beatmania IIDX on any songs imported from IIDX, and I think that there should be full-length videos on all of the other DDR songs (similar to Pump It Up).

As for music, they should put at least all of the music (and steps) featured on all of the PSX DDR games (and possibly all of the PS2 DDR games) on the first PS3 DDR game that comes out. Seeing all of the songs from the early arcade mixes (1st Mix, 2nd Mix (including Club Versions and Link Version), 3rd Mix (including Korean (v1 & v2) and 3rd Mix Plus), 4th Mix (including Plus), and 5th Mix), would also be good, if Konami can fit all of these songs on a single disc.

As for gameplay, Konami can make it more like ITG and add mines, hands, and rolls (DDR SuperNOVA: In The Groove 3rd Mix

), but that would only be good if they decide not to release any ITG titles anymore. At the very least, Konami could be more creative with freeze arrows. I have never seen any eighth notes played on different arrows while a single arrow is held (e.g. L-U-R-U-L eighth note pattern while holding the down arrow), and I haven't seen any sixteenth note jackhammers (or mini-jacks) (e.g. R-R sixteenths while holding the left arrow) while a freeze arrow is held. Those additions (at least in heavy and challenge charts) would make DDR a bit more challenging and varied.

Of course, Konami can make the new DDR games have absolutely no major improvements since DDR SuperNOVA, have the same number of songs as SuperNOVA, release them as PS3 titles, and still sell hundreds of thousands of copies. However, there is plenty of room for improvement, and Konami should always look for new ways to improve DDR.

another cool idea is that they should once again make it like stepmania, where you can create your own songs and do the steps.

I'm sure they'll use the USBand bluetooth to the full effect.

DDR for PS3? I doubt it, judging from the fiasco done by DDRSN.

Monster in a box · 12-01-2006, 04:56 PM

They'll get there eventually, I'm sure.

Morning Blue · 12-01-2006, 05:30 PM

If they do, I hope they release only one game every year, and not one every 10 months in every fucking region. If they must, make all regions of the game have the same songs in them; I'm tried of the whiny Japanese DDR fans. They've ALREADY begun to speculate how much better Supernova CS JP is going to be.

Monster in a box · 12-01-2006, 07:54 PM

Yeah, they should do that. I wonder why they haven't done it yet. Makes no sense.

I could see it coming just like how DDR made the jump from PS1 to PS2. What would be cool would be an interface that both uses the capabilities of the system, and is on par artistically with the much flashier post 9th style IIDX ones.

Also, a sort of huge library of old songs and real-time generated backgrounds for songs would be cool.
