R2 Video Comments

I say 90% becauase I am thinking in terms of percentage completed until first public beta. He is thinking in terms of percentage completed until our main feature list is finished.

FFR=NOT DDR but R2 is another story. Remember.. it is a solid platform for future expansion.

Cheers,

Wow, I missed the news train by about a year.

Anyway, after watching the video, all I can say is that Synth better upgrade his bandwidth, and FAST.

Cause when R2 comes out, we're gonna rape that motherfucker like a paralyzed supermodel.

I think scores on higher judge setting should be recorded. Having a score which compares to the best scores with J6 would mean that you're really good and stuff. J1 scores should definitely not be recorded though.

1) I'm going to be blunt when I say that's a fucking retarded suggestion

2) ALLOWING MODIFYING ANY JUDGE OF SORT IS A POSSIBLE EXPLOIT FOR PEOPLE TO MODIFY THE PERFECT/MARVELOUS WINDOW AND GO ON VERSUS/HIGHSCORES WITH IT MODIFIED THIS IS A VERY VERY VERY BAD IDEA SYNTH >_<

Anyways, let me address a few things

R2 is NOT DDR ld, Synth was going for being like Stepmania since all the keyboarders play that. DDR = played on feet. FFR R2 = played on fingers. By you being an admin saying something like that it gives people the impression that R2 is supposed to be an online DDR, which it is not.

I don't know what information I can and can't release. Challenge would be pretty pointless when you have online versus. Credits are still planned to be used from what I see.

FFR R2 is going to be off the hook and when it comes out everyone is going to forget about the original FFR, I pretty much assure you of it (I guess Synth just considers the original FFR like his child or whatnot because trust me everyone's going to forget about the original FFR, it's like the old beatmania versus beatmania IIDX) The songs and stepfiles will be much higher quality, pretty much the same as stepmania must-haves.

Yes credits are still planned of course...

And challenge would not be pointless but you will have to wait and see what that turns out to be like...

Awesome job! Congrats to Synth and soccr, and anyone else who's helped with R2. It looks so freakin awesome!

Quesion: Are you still going to be able to modify the directions in which the arrows scroll, like the other one has?

**soccr743** · 09-4-2004, 06:42 AM

Yes, of course adogg... As it said in the movies there is only a partial list of options...

It will be located in the game options with speed and other mods...

What about rankings and score?
Are you just completely changing the original FFR or just making it better?

**soccr743** · 09-4-2004, 08:54 AM

R2 is completely different then the original and made to be more like stepmania in many ways... If you payed attention to the first screen with white type you would see that it says not everything is complete...

And scores are up there such as at then end of the song...

I wasn't saying that FFR was DDR, but everyone was comparing it just to SM, when there was influences from DDR, I mean, SM wasn't the first with the whole, arrows going up the screen concept.

**Kilgamayan** · 09-4-2004, 09:28 AM

I like how almost every single person on the development team has a different opinion of what's going on.

That makes me feel really great. ._.

**lightdarkness** · 09-4-2004, 09:34 AM

Well, as synth pointed out, they were looking from two different perspectives, and to tell you the truth, besides soccr and synth, the rest of us don't know all that much.

**Synthlight** · 09-4-2004, 09:43 AM

It's true, you know how I am. I keep a tight lid on things. Just because someone is an admin doesn't mean they know my plans. There is no conflict of what path is being taken because I know exactly where R2 is going and Soccr is able to execute those plans perfectly. I can honestly say that I have never been part of a coding project that has moved along as smoothly as R2 has moved during the last 4-5 months. This should be apparent from the preview video.

Cheers,

Synthlight
