"Licensed songs may be too expensive to charge 99c for 3 songs. There is no need to take such a risk if the group is popular. They should be able to charge higher."


Er, that's the point of selling the music packs. It's not a risk at all. This is seemingly working extremely well for Jubeat/Jukebeat on iOS and I'm assuming Reflec Beat as well and countless other mobile games. He's saying sell the base game for 99c with very few songs and then make money by selling packs of music. Realistically, the game just needs to be free with a handful of songs, there's no point in selling the game and then attempting to sell music packs on top of that.

 

[patsu]

In US, Jubeat is free on iOS with 3 Konami songs: Frogger, Contra and Lethal Enforcers. So Konami doesn't take too much risks since it's all their IP ? No need to pay someone else.

The song packs require the users to pay more. So that's fine.

99c is generally the price of 1 song on iTunes. 3 songs for 99c just seem too cheap. Not sure if the artists and labels would allow it since DJMAX Kara seems to use real music video.

I'm not sure what you're not getting here. DJ Max Technika doesn't feature *only* music by Kara, it includes quite a few originals made in-house by Pentavision and other licensed artists. They don't have to include any licensed songs for free/initial purchase.

Jukebeat has licensed music as well.

 

[patsu]

If they don't include licensed music in the base package, like Jubeat, it's fine too.

Like I said, they don't have to take the risk by underselling popular licensed songs.

Now begins the camping of LE Pre-orders...
C'mon Play-Asia...any time now...

 

[T.O.P]

Just hoping that the screen size of Vita won't be a disadvantage for the game (it will)



Still excited as hell, also wish to see more J-Pop/Electro tracks in the game (DLC is good too) and a Clazziquai exclusive pack, plz

It won't.

 

[megalowho]

It won't.

It won't be able to fit in awesome two handed moves like this

 

[Raelson]

Don't really like this. I don't want licensed music in my DJ Max. : (

 

[web01]

Pumped for this game. Was awesome when I recently found out about an arcade that has the actual machine.

Only downside of the VITA release will be having to get another memory card so I can actually play and download DLC because this will not be released in the AUS PSN store.

You don't need two, you can just use one even when switching accounts.

Mmm, Vita's screen is still pretty big, so it might not suffer too much in the transition. If Ouendan can work on a miniscule touchscreen like DS's, I think DJ Max Technika should work pretty well on Vita's screen.

 

[T.O.P]

yeah, that's what i meant, dying to see some gameplay videos on the Vita

Don't really like this. I don't want licensed music in my DJ Max. : (

All the Technika releases had licensed music in it, i don't see the problem e.e

I know, but i really liked that DJ Max stayed away from that before. Oh well, it's not really a big deal.

Those Kara songs are composed by regular Dj Max 'in-house' contributors anyway.

Did you forget about Clazziquai Edition? Those licenced songs were some of the best in the game.

 

[Newline]

First thing came to my mind.

exactly my thought haha

but in any case... man those KARA girls are hot

 

[T.O.P]

I totally forgot about that, and that's one of my favorite games lol. I retract my statements!

September 27th isn't Summer.

yeah while thats ture, atleast it's not that much later, september will be here before you know it.

Personally can't wait for this, and i'm happy it's on Vita, really can't wait to get the track list as it's supposed to be pretty big, really curious to see what all is going to be included in the LE though i'll end up buying one reguardless. I'm just glad that they are actually releasesing the LE in the US aswell.

 

[Roubjon]

Here are some details about the game none of you guys have mentioned:

- Hold Notes & Repeaters employ both the front and rear touch panels. This can be set in the options menu.
- 67 songs will be featured in the game, all with brand new note patterns to accommodate the 3 lane gameplay.
- Some older DJMAX songs included in the game will have new videos just for TECHNIKA TUNE.
- PlayStation Network accounts will be linked to a worldwide ranking system, updated in real time.
- Unlockable multimedia returns with 280 gallery images, bonus videos, and OST tracks.
- Unlockable DJ Icons and Plates are also obtainable in game.

I'm excited because 67 songs is the most any Portable has had to date and the addition of a competent ranking system is finally in place. I can see myself buying a Vita by the end of the week because of this game.

 

[Takao]

September 27th isn't Summer.

To be fair, that's the Japanese release date.

 

[Dead Prince]

i hope the videos aren't compressed.

[cj_iwakura]

Gonna take mad restraint not to buy a Vita just for this.

i'm sure the game bundle won't help ;P

 

[Teknopathetic]

"Gonna take mad restraint not to buy a Vita just for this."

It's the only reason to buy one for the foreseeable future. Whether that's enough for you or not depends on how bad you wanna play it.

Spoiler

Wait a few months and buy a Vita used, they already go on ebay for 150$

Personally, I think Gravity Rush is a perfectly fine reason to own a Vita now, especially if you're going to be buying this down the line too. There's no way I could have foreseen how much I was going to love Gravity Rush.

-67 songs even higher than the arcade versions

such an awesome day

 

[Azure Phoenix]

I can see End of the Moonlight in one of those images which means the returning songs won't just be DLC at a later date. I really hope Clear Blue Sky is in the base game, that means I could happily import without having to worry about not being able to buy the DLC - or wait for a potential EU release.

 

[345triangle]

will buy the hell out of this, possibly only for KARA (though i do dig DJMAX portable)

 

[Rahk]

I can't wait for this!

Hopefully they're also working on a DJMAX Portable 4 though.

Fuck yes. This is just the stuff that DJ Max always needed.

This thing, with so many songs, and proper online leaderboards = wearing out the touch surface on mah Vita.

 

[depward]

I need this game like, now. Right now!!!

 

[megalowho]

http://andriasang.com/con1oc/dj_max_technika_screens/.

Never Say, fuck yeah! Shaping up to be a nice mix of old and new.

 

[hamchan]

I feel like buying a Vita just for this game but I'll hold myself back until a price drop. I also think KARA's music isn't very good but Goo Hara is amazingly hot.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Never Say

I hope Bee-U-tiful is also in.

 

[Ezalc]

Is 3rdCoast in this game? I remember that it was all thanks to the DJ Max games that I got into 3rdCoast.

I think it's a given we'll see 3rd Coast, Forte Escape, ESTi, among the other pillars of DJ Max musicians.

 

[matmanx1]

Any hints on the US release date and if it's supposed to be sometime before or after the Japanese one? I've enjoyed the last couple of DJ Max games on the PSP and have every intention of getting this one but I will most likely wait for a US release.

Does Technika have Clazziquai tracks?

Shame Robotica never made the cut.

 

[T.O.P]

From what i've played/saw (Technika 2)

- Love Mode
- Flea
- Color
- Come to me
- Electronincs
- Freedom
- The Night Stage


No new tracks e.e


I'd die to have some Sakanaction in it btw

[Despera]

I'll wait for impressions before jumping in. I doubt Technika's gameplay would translate well to Vita's small screen.

DJMP titles were the best thing about the PSP. This could be the reason I get a Vita.

 

[hamchan]

All this recent DJMAX talk finally reminded me to buy DJMAX Trilogy off Play-Asia.

[impact]

If SNSD or T-ara is in this game, day one.

 

[Ezalc]

I think it's a given we'll see 3rd Coast, Forte Escape, ESTi, among the other pillars of DJ Max musicians.

Awesome, love me some 3rdCoast. I just wish they made more songs like Reason, easily their best imo.

Anyways, I've been into a music game semi-craze lately but I don't have a vita. This game is probably the only one I'd want on the system but I'll look forward to an OST or something.
