Acclaim hops on the dance game train

Umm...isn't this what O2Jam/DJMAX is?

Or better yet...Super Dancer Online? Which stole the DDR gameplay style, labeled their game client in the taskbar as "DDROnline", and even STOLE DDR songs (Paranoia is one of them). Link to that game is http://sdo.com.my/

IIRC, you can get married in that game.

This Dance! game sounds virtually identical to Super Dancer Online, but i'll give it credit for being the first non-asian (even if it's international like Malaysian ones) MMORG, and for (probably) not pirating songs like SDO.

I am really looking forward to this.But I do have some questions.

1.Didnt acclaim go out of bussiness?

2.Is this going to be something on a website like runescape or is it something that will be bought in stores?

3.Will High Speed internet be necessary to play it?

4.What the heck is so great about getting married?

And as for the game milk chan referred too,I had never even heard of that game until you mentioned it,so maybe its not that popular anyway?

SDO really isnt much of an MMO game but rather a DDR-ripoff you play online with some slight MMO elements.

This seems like its gonna be a bit more high-budget and made for US than SDO. I'm interested, but the songlist concerns me. Since i'm getting a new vista computer early next year, i'll probably buy this game(a free MMO game that involves gameplay i love...WIN-WIN!!).

And there have been worse ideas. Look at auto-assault and planetside...those where worse AND they costed monthly fees.

anyhow, i checked wikipedia and apparantly, acclaim is now simply a brand owned by activision that will make a lot of online games.

He could have given me $100 000 and I would have come up with something for him that DIDN'T stink of failure.

Hm..I think I see where they're coming from with this...It's actually a rather good idea (or at least what I thought up is a good idea, maybe I shuld be in charge of this game). They're trying to take the feel of the arcade community (such as weekly trips to the DDR machine with the same bunch of kids) and the online DDR community (like DDRfreak), and combine them together.

This has some potential. You could walk around in a virtual community (maybe even control it on your dance mat

) There could be areas set up where you can buy things (mods, songs, noteskins, etc.) and other areas, or maybe even custom made Dance! Cabinets located all over the world where you can play songs, either alone, or if someone was in your party, you could do VS. You could talk to people, make freinds and I guess even get married (WTF?

) Maybe they could do something, like if you walked up to a guy playing, you could see his screen, sort of like a PiP (Picture in Picture)

Your scores could save up from song to song, and you spend your points on unlockable things to make the game better. And of course, there would be a highscore list, where everyone can look at how they rank, and how all thier friends look compared to them or whatever.

This could be pretty cool if they did it right. It will definately help out the people that don't get to go to an arcade very often get more into the dancing games.
