The Triad: X, Hottest Party 2, and Universe 3 | E3 Brouhaha

[Reenee]

E3 stuff goes here...

Taj He Spitz has some excellent artwork in my opinion.

Also , hello reworked DDR max 2 dance gauge.

[Reenee]

X looks like it's trying to be edgy and urban. And not to be nitpicky but the way the STAGE text looks on the lifebars has some more blur than it needs to is bothering me. And I dislike the reskins of the SuperNOVA stages. I'm getting hints it's trying to back to its roots in terms of graphical style though but in a modernized/reiterated manner.

Universe 3 looks BEAUTIFUL.
Enough said.

Hottest Party 2's characters look slightly tolerable for some reason. And the way the two avatars were interacting with each other give me hope that the quality of the first game is still present here. My most anticipated out of the three. And the way that it's a full-featured game like the PS2 versions is even better.

EDIT- Universe has Marvelous now. Hottest Party is using EXTREME-era videos in their stages. I see that spinning heart and the rising sparkles. Heh.

DDR X

OK, I'm probably being a bit stingy, and it probably is only a beta-ish thing, but I don't like the look of the interface at all. It looks like an amateurish SN2 recolour. And the 10th anniversary stage just looks plain wrong.

UNIVERSE 3

Senses!? AGAIN!? Damn, they really love that song. Anyway, loving the fact that they're using something other than Arial...until I realised how often they used it...and is that Less Than Three I spy!?

Hottest Party 2

What's that bottom meter supposed to represent? *strokes beard* Otherwise, same old, same old. But with Miis.

[Dream Traveler Klonoa]

It's great to see that we're getting all the songs from SN2 that we didn't get in SN2 US like TimeHollow and Poseidon.

I like the DDR:X stages. At lease they're SOMETHING now, rather than just a platform with floating blocks. They really look better than the SN/SN2 stages imo. And the characters also look nice.

I reckon X might be a filler game until the next AC game is released, since it looks like SN2 US is gonna be unlocking stuff until November. They'll probably give us a heaping of all the stuff we missed in SN2, along with maybe 10 or so new Konami originals. T'would be nice anyways.

I'm surprised no one is happy about a new Kors K song in Universe 3.

I'm pretty happy about the end of that trailer!

[Riku]

X looks awesome, but if it follows the American trend of giving us a large percentage of the songs already found on SN2 Jp, I'll pass.

The Universe franchise appears to be taking yet another nosedive into what seems to be overly colorful graphics and constantly repeated songs (lets Senses go already). However, I do agree with Reenee. As overly colorful as the game looks, its pretty as hell. The Pump it Up like interface looks pretty cool. I just pray that the fix the the problems that have plague the series since Universe 1 was first released.

HP 2 looks interesting to say the very least. I'm not overly fond of some of the licenses they choose, but the KOs can definitely make up for it.

I'm anticipating X the most for the possibility of fresh new songs, the graphical overfall, and the possibility of a Japanese CS variation with a brand new song list.

Congrats on another video of your making it ontoa DDR game.

Also , were those.. LYRICS on an American DDR ?

[TyTigeriku]

Is that Less Than Three?

Huh. Sweet. :3

EDIT: OH MY GOD IT'S VALENCIA

AND GUY

and fursuits

BUT VALENCIA IS BACK WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[FFR4EVA_00]

The stages for DDR X are actually interesting. Hopefully it's a good sign. Also, Taj He Spitz looks like a somewhat harder standard chart than what we're used to with SN and SN2. Then again, it is slower.

[Cali]

That didnt just say Kors K, It said DM Ashura Ft Kors K. That could be cool.

[Chewphoria]

What is this song?

[FFR4EVA_00]

Universe 3 looks amazing. Graphics are amazing, DJ Mode sounds interesting, and most importantly, Your Angel. To me, "feat. kors k" means he might be doing vocals. Despite that, it's a good sign that there will be a fair amount of Konami Originals in this game, which Universe 2 had a serious lack of.
Also, @Chewphoria: gee i don't know i mean it's not like the title is right at the bottom of the picture

[Mantic]

I can't wait to hear the DM Ashura feat. kors k track...especially if kors k is doing vocals. It's quite nice to see some overseas collaborations going on here.
