You have no idea how much the Bo/Noah Toku/Tukuhiko Uwabo think pissed me off.

Space Channel 5 Part 2 will not convert people who aren't fans of the rhythm genre. It has amazing art and graphics but it still has the same press a button at a certain time gameplay that got old after Dragon's Lair. I would say it's the best of its genre due to its awesome style but I'm not a big fan of that type of gameplay. Rez is infinitely superior.

um, i'd consider SC5 to be in the genre.

Bemani is Konami's series of music games. So technically SC5 isn't Bemani because it's not Konami. I think that's what Click_Stick was going after.

im sure he was. still, Konami and the bemani line are what the genre are mainly known for. that's why so many people call it that.

space channel 5 owns joo. part 2 is wonderful. judging from their last 3 games, uga is now one of my favorite developers. i'm looking forward to any and all games they're developing.)

I've found this thread to have some of the best discussion of any thread I've checked at TNL for some time.
Slightly skewed off topic, but at least everyone isn't just echoing each other; as is the status quo around here:
"God, I hope UGA announces something."

And SP5Part2 is stylishly brilliant and the presentation is top-notch, but the gameplay hardly engages me.

Still worth the playtime, just to see it all, not worth my $60 though.

i meant the debate over whether bemani is a konami brand or a genre.

i remember mizuguchi mentioning in an interview he'd like to make an RPG. i'd like to see *that*. =)

I'm honestly really looking forward to SC5-3. SC5-2 took the original formula as far as it can go, and 3 is supposed to be something revolutinary. I really want to see it, the concept was ambitious to say the least.

Buuuut... UGA specified their new GC game will not be an SC5 game, so that's still a ways off, I'm sure.
