DJ Max catches fever, gets delayed

by Majed Athab on Nov 4th 2008 5:20PM

According to IGN, the K-Pop rhythm game that was supposed to come out this November will be delayed. DJ Max Fever is now slated for first quarter 2009. It's not an entire lost, however. The extra months, says PM Studios, will give developers time to add in new gear, upgrade items, and hidden content.

They're also working on making the title "fully compatible with the PSP-3000" and "perfecting a brand new game engine that is tentatively titled 'BS'." With all "BS" jokes about the delay aside, we're interested in finding out exactly what this change is all about and see if it was worth the extra wait. After all, the wait for a DJ Max game in North America has been long enough.

haha , how ironic that dj max fever catches a fever lol

haha ya i wasn't going to comment but the title was just pretty funny

Yay, somrthing I sent in got posted. Now I feel special.

3000 compatible? Whaa??

I would guess altering some things to deal with the changing of order of the subpixels. a lot of anti-aliasing methods rely on knowledge of a certain order of the 3 colors of an LCD pixel. the "scanline" issue is mainly a result of that, the changing of the subpixel direction screwing up all the antialiasing. ultimately, what that unfortunately leads to is needing to have two separate sets of graphics, one optimized for left-right RGB, and one optimized for top-bottom RGB

I actually wonder if it's not piracy related. The most recent Korean release of the game apparently had a bunch of anti-piracy stuff in it, but still got pirated almost immediately much to the dismay of the developers.

More likely though, they simply couldn't get it into retail. That's hard to do for a small publisher, and this time of year there is a ton of competition (well, not on the PSP, but videogames in general)

That is a good point. Well, that's one less thing I will be getting for my B-day. Or I could import DJ Max 2. I don't know.

good lord I hope not, I don't want MY sing voice SINGING karaoke

Let them take their time. I'd rather have a polished product later, than a rushed product now.

(Pleez make it easier, for the average player)

I can tell you right now that their new game is called black square, It is a different version of their most recent game "Clazziquai Edition" except while CE is aimed towards casual, Black Square is aimed for a more hardcore crowd. I hope they add downloadable content, and have an option to keep Korean difficulty.

Blac square has a gamefaqs page.

I just died a little by reading this....

I seriously doubt it has anything to do with the LCD of the PSP 3000, but probably more to do with the inbuilt microphone

but how would DJ Max be using the mic

I'm glad I imported it a few months ago. Fun fun fun while you peeps gotta wait wait wait.

DJMAX Fever

DJMAX Fever < DJMAX Clazziquai Edition < DJMAX Black Square
the only good new from pm studio is they are going to import DJMAX Technika to US

someone told me dj.max/black square can be bought with new psp 3000's rather than usual whiper snapper psp bundles.. http://www.gamestock.co.uk/psp-deals
the game is loosing its appeal now there's a rumour that it don't play on psp 3000 properly
