(360) New THE IDOLM@STER pics

when i think about this game, viva pinata pops into my head - specifically the part about the marketing towards smaller kids and girls

a game like this, marketed at girls, would completely ****ing own north america.
 
I.....nah I better not say it dont want to get banned.

It looks really good though, I just want English subs with it, with the monthly downloads (hopefully free) it feels like AC:WW, but with underage girls WOOOT!!!!!
 
I assume the addresses are related to ingame? And no idea on the jp live points yet anybody? I look forward to getting my copy this friday. I only hope i can get the face plate too.

I suppose you can buy some at play-asia, create a virtual JAP account and use them there.

Well, in the arcade, the idol will send you email to remind you to take them to their lessons. The 360 version I believe serves similar functions but perhaps not necessary since it's optional?

Oooh, I didn't think they would carry it. And I already made a jpn marketplace account a few weeks ago to grab some trailers like Idolm@ster. Any idea if they can just give you the code over email or does it have to be sent to you?

I don´t know. The item says "ships in.." but you better ask them directly and see if they can give you the number by mail to get it faster.

You may also try some ebay sellers although it has its risk.

The graphics are really fantastic.According to play-asia, no english subs. Can anyone confirm?

It's completely in Japanese. Why would there be English subs?

You buy addresses to receive text messages from that specific idol in game.

lol - it's ... strangely interesting. Only finished one day, but reminds me of a japanese version of Rock Star Ate My Hamster....

she wasn't happy with the Taiko thing humping her on the leg...

hmm... quite interesting.
This one wants to sing difficult songs to a high level... as a result, i get a scowl when i score "normal" on the singing level, and she starts not liking me so much...

hmm....

i might really piss her off and start making her do dancing lessons...

lol... this is sad.
 
It would be cool to see this get translated and published, but I have to imagine the music/voice gameplay integration is too complicated to rework. vireland, we have a challenge for you...
 
AH WHY DOES NCSX SHIP THE LIMITED TODAY AND NOT THE REGULAR ;-; They charged my card too! Tho, it was pushed from 25th to feb 1st.. So I'm expecting it this tues. Then its time to search yahoo j for the faceplate... Unless.... Maybe you can grab me one DCharlie? BTW is it all mainly voiced?
 
My game (along with Rain) is more or less stuck at my post office. The customs want to charge me 123 euros (more than $150) of customs taxes for 2 games. I have no idea what's going on...

I had that happen with a package from Japan where customs mistakenly thought the yen sign was a 7, thus making the value 70 times what it was. Ended up not paying, package being sent back, and asking the retailer to ship it again but with a clearer label :P

Yeah I guess that's what happened for me too. My post office is missing some customs papers so they can't give me the parcel anyway even if I wanted to pay.
It's even more annoying that playasia is sending me this for free...
 
Haha, put me in the same catagory with mail troubles. My fault though. I had it sent to work but looks like I forgot to put the name of the company so it's been forwarded to another address or something. I hope to get this settled for Monday or they figure it out by tomorrow. Ive had packages sent to work before no problem, so I imagine it's the label bit. I seriously hope it won't get sent to someone else and then they open it and ruin my plastic wrap protective cover! And damn NCSX for not mentioning it was shipped out. I noticed people talking about recieving the promo dvd with their normal edition and got curious and checked NCSX. ARGH. If I knew earlier I could have stopped this. Rage. XD
 
Didn't see this mentioned, but there is a free theme available for download on XBL. Japan only of course. So if you want your 360 all pedo-riffic in a way only the Japanese can do it, there ya go.
 
this game is so cool!! i've choosen Miki (the blonde girl) and i'm at level 4th, she seems happy, and i've beaten a rookie audition, and then i tried another audition and i was 4th, but she was still happy. the heart bar is at 14, and i still have 47 weeks left.

the animation is great, i love the voices, poses, and faces she makes, she's so cute!! heh

it's REALLY a shame this game won't come to EU or USA.. fun game

Petition time! Shame it doesn't help :(

yeah, that's true.

anyway after playing for an hour i've started to think that if Namco-Bandai releases this game in the USA and EU, it would sell well, because i think this game seems to be oriented to other kind of gamers.. i mean i think young people, specially young girls, would really like it, and MS needs this kind of games if they want to reach to this kind of gamers

of coure, i know localization for this game would take a lot of resources, and time, but i wish it were at least in english..

Apart from the theme there are some other free packs/DLC of about 200mb each one, that i dont know what they include/add to the game.
 
These screencaps look like the best toon-shading I've ever seen. However these are stills, and don't show the main problem I've had with toon-shaded games from previous gens. Its hard to explain, but previously in toon-shaded games, like JSR or DBZ: Budokai games, the outlines of the characters would not look "right" when showing different angles of a character. It is the line drawing algorithm at fault, and there is probably not way to make it perfect (which lines of a character should be bold vs. which ones shouldn't) without it being hand drawn, or prerendered with each frame edited. Anyway, I was wondering does the game look as good as the stills in motion? Does it have that line problem? It isn't a deal breaker. I was just wondering if toon-shader lines had advanced to near hand drawn cell quality.

Thanks. Its hard to tell with the youtube quality, but it looks really nice (almost cg quality), especially the animation. I couldn't see any real glaring issues with the lines. The noses were handled just by removing a line from it, no matter what angle you look at it. The blonde's spikey hair, which probably poses nose-like outline issues, didn't even look too bad. My biggest gripe after looking at that video, would be it looks like just an animated texture is used as the mouth. Overal very good.
 
I really hope developers decide to use these kinda high-quality cel-shaded graphics for more games. Trusty Bell is a step in the right direction but doesn't look as good as Idolm@ster. Crackdown looks like shit compared to this!

Next-gen cel-shading FTW!

You've gotta be ****in' kidding. Eternal Sonata demolishes this in terms of visuals, without even stepping into the art direction catagorey.

I'm unsure of why this is impressive just because they can stuff a couple of smooth, but completely detail devoid models on screen for what is little more than an interactive cut scene.

Then of course, there's the fact that the game is pretty much the definition of creepy pedophile bait, which is why they spend so much time solely on character modeling. :p

Make her work with Ka-Tun that should do it!
 
I was so close to buying this last night, thanks to DC selling me on the idea.
Maybe I'll get it today.

But please, I beg you... if I ever attempt to sing any of these songs at karaoke, shoot me.
Thanks.

Ok we promise!
 
That cell shading technology is boss. I can't wait to see what other games they make with it. I bet that No More Heroes and that other cell shaded fighter is using similar graphical techniques.

I don't necessarily think this game is "dangerous", but wow. Japanese culture :lol

It would, if it was on DS. It's on Xbox 360. How many girls own Xbox 360?

Those high pitched wails on live are pre-pubescent boys, not girls.
