Recent news has me supporting Roxor even more

The Nail

As I see all of these new generation dance games come out, it really is hard to decide which game to really support.

Reliable sources of mine have informed me of the fact that the makers of NeonFM knew way in advance that Roxor was going to get sued by Konami. Informants told me that the Neon team was getting in contact with all companies related to music(konami, harmonix) to find out what exactly they had to do to make sure their product would not interfere with any patents currently out there. Now, during all of these meetins the NeonFM team kept on mentioning Roxor and their game. They kept on forcing talk about Roxor as if to get these companies irritated about Roxor.

On another case, another new dance sim game (DTX) was having trouble licensing a song because of the woman doing the vocals for a song in NeonFM. They found another singer to do the vocals for their song. They informed NeonFM about their find and that they would not need their vocalist for any of DTX's songs. A month or two later, DTX finds the profile for their newest vocalist on NeonFM's website. DTX tried to contact the vocalist they found(Brigit Jackson) with failed attempts. She has not returned a single phone call and is unable to come into contact.

Now, does this sound like a company that wants to be able see the music game genre continue, or just their own company succeed in making their product a monopoly?

I personally will not be supporting NeonFM at all, regardless of the fact that I think DJ Potatoe is a grade-A giant douche/turd sandwich.

I love the Roxor team from their game to their own personalities. They're great people and this should not be happening to them. Even though i'm sure they will pull through regardless, it still is very disrespectful to pull this on another company that just wants to supply us with a game we will all love.

hm... looks interesting. at least they made up a new pad instead of just copying ddr or pump. the interface looks worse than itg though, which doesnt say a whole lot... both look like high school programming/design class projects.

I'm really not making this crap up. Check out www.neonfm.com It's mainly DJ Potatoe and popnko that are behind this kind of poopy. They always bad mouth ITG and call it the biggest joke ever just to try and make their game look better or something.

let em badmouth itg. honestly, its always been a big joke to me. i dont think i'll ever be able to take roxor or itg seriously because its essentially stepmania in an arcade cabinet. this company is offering something actually new and different. my only hopes is that it will have the songs to back it up. cuz i think the pad layout is rather cool.

So itg is just a big joke to you yet you're playing it and keeping track of your scores? I think the pad layout for neonFM is absolutely ridiculous. On all of their prototype videos it's like everybody is failing the songs, even on super easy stuff.

Did you ever think of Roxor to be a company that keeps all of these DDR cabinets from just being thrown away? Most people enjoy the simple 4-arrow design(hence why pump it up isn't as popular as DDR). People WANT to be playing 4-arrow games. DDR is no longer around so now ITG takes over. You're missing the entire point of this thread.

Listen to some of dj potatoe's stuff. It's absolutely horrible. Most of what he does is taking keysounds from taka, TaQ, good-cool, etc etc and just tries to make his own crap.

If I remember correctly NFM will be boasting StepMania program with NFM stuff and reprogramming.

Maticus: I would relook into DTX, alot of new information just coming out about it looks pretty good. Especially their consultant gameplay designer
