Fans Go Wild For DDR3 At Konami Party in SoCal

Ripten: "Last night, we were invited to the official Konami launch party for DanceDance Revolution 3 (DDR) held in Culver City, CA. Konami revealed their latest iteration, five years in the making with a star studded extravaganza."

CrzyFooL5009d ago

I will never, ever understand the appeal of DDR.

aselah5009d ago

LOL that's ok...some people are extremely hardcore, I just enjoy it for the dancing and exercise.

RageAgainstTheMShine5009d ago

Konami is in great debt for the PS One with DDR!

even the control set up was patterned to the Dual Shock!!!

jaredhart5009d ago

Chicks dig it and its good because it helps keep them in shape.

CrzyFooL5009d ago

Bullshit!! If you use DDR to stay in shape yer a friggin tard.

Chris_Hansen_Rocks5009d ago (Edited 5009d ago )

why?

the Deutsche demokratische Republik had 0% unemployment and a social healthcare system america only can dream of

there was also no internet which means that the kids were safe

beardpapa5009d ago

back when DDR was a huge craze, girls were gaga over boys that could freestyle in ddr. youtube those korean ddr competitions.

e.g., something like http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I LOVE DDR! I seemed to drop off the face of the planet for awhile. Glad to see it's making a come back!

LBD_Nytetrayn5009d ago

Could never get into DDR... always afraid that the mat will slip on our hardwood floor, even if it probably wouldn't.

Chromer5009d ago

Did you honestly just say that a game which requires you to move your body and is the same equivalent to running, swimming, etc. won't help you stay in shape? You are an idiot and be quiet. Back in high school, when my track team didn't practice, we would play DDR to keep ourselves loose while still getting an aerobic exercise. Plus it was pretty fun.

Keep your mouth quiet about things you obviously don't understand or frankly know anything about. Also just in case you say there's no credibility of DDR helping you lose weight:

tl;dr - Shut up.

Man, I miss SoCal. Could have gone to this and had my picture taken with Naoki "Very Very Excite" Maeda.

Since The Contra Revival Shows Konami Still Cares, How About A New Castlevania?

Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"

shinoff218327d ago

Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those

XiNatsuDragnel27d ago

Castlevania fighting game for wii needs to be remade plz

Aphrodia26d ago

well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.

It’s almost like Metal Gear is a well known franchise

just_looken85d ago

Horrible news more proof todays "gamer" is just a cow ready to be milked.

That mgs collection is no better than my ps3 copy but my ps3 copy has 0 server restrictions i always roll my eyes when reviewers or these new "youtube gamer" channels show off the information books on a webpage via a trash in game browser or the lack of controller support like it s a good thing.

Also GOG still has a better version mgs 1 or use the duck ps1 emulator.

Well time for the peace walker remaster pc port 480p 20fps needs a rtx 3090 or 6900xt to run with dunovo konami account then a govt id check.

just_looken83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

All the bonus content on the new collection needs a konami server to load them up if you pull your lan cord only the games will work but that is temp as those games are digital goods.

When i said digital i know there is a disc version games are on the disc i was referring to the pc version and the patches after the fact but yes ps5 has a disc version.

Here is the online bit

As long as it's not like Twin Snakes. And I hope they have the option to keep the original PSone voice tracks, which is a huge part of the appeal for me. The Twin Snakes voice tracks sounded worse, and had lame script changes as well.

Babadook7112d ago

Of Course. Go straight to the near perfect source.

porkChop112d ago

It's likely going to be handled just like Delta.

just_looken112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

Its probably like resident evil 2 remake.

for those that do not know fans remade that game until the garage scene but then was shutdown by capcom a few years later bam RE2 hd remaster.

In 2016 fans used unreal engine up until the raven fight it was a full hd remaster square shut it down took everything so why not use there work.
