Changes to future DLC for PS4

[Seraphim_Rez]

Last week there was a live broadcast regarding future DLC plans and updates to DJMAX Respect on PS4 and the PC version. This was only streamed in Korean, but the official DJMAX Discord posted a basic summary, both of which will be posted below.

 

Of the various announcements, the biggest is that the PS4 version will no longer receive any future collaboration DLCs due to lack of time and resources.

 

"Development team discussed a lot about adding new DLCs in PS4, and we decided to add DJMAX-related DLCs (such as V Extension 2 or 3) in both V and PS4, but from now on, all collaboration DLCs will be only added in V, not in PS4. We decided this since we use a whole different development model between PS4 and V, thus it takes way too much time to prepare both DLCs for PS4 and V in every three months."

 

This is disappointing as in the same stream a new collab DLC with Nexon was announced.

 

Below is the full DLC summary.

 

"New DLC Information
1) 2021. 10 - Collaboration DLC with Nexon
 - 21 tracks (9 remix tracks / 12 original - remix tracks are keysounded)
 - Short preview for 2 tracks > 1 original (D&F) / 1 Remix (Maplestory BGM remix by jam-jam + track for teaser video was a remix from Kartrider
2) 2022. 01 (Hopefully) - V Extension 2 DLC
 - 20 tracks (most likely, we will announce more info later.)
 - Includes new tracks Leezu, Nien +@ (same as above, and Bexter quoted, Nien's new track is incredible)
 - All completely new tracks
3) Plan for 2022 - 2 More collaboration dlcs, and V EX3.
4) We got more getting ready for the future."

 

During the free talk segment was the news that addition of more older DJMAX songs is unlikely due to the difficulty of digging up and restoring older assets.

 

"Free Talk
1) BEXTER : Nien new track is incredible.
2) No hard judgment effector for freestyle planned for now.
3) no plans for more emotional sense songs. It's really hard for us to even dig up the resources since it has been at least 17~18 years. Hopefully, we may have some free updates for the tracks.
4) Is there gonna be more non-rhythm game collabs? > Maybe. There are many great games & IPs. Future is open for both non-rhythm & rhythm game collabs, if it's possible and applicable.
5) P1/P2 Soundtrack possible? - Same as emotional sense tracks, the resources are limited and hard to dig up. But we will consider it in near future.
6) Will there be more broadcasts? - Yes, we have been quiet for last year & 9 months with broadcast, but we will try to run live broadcast whenever there are new track DLCs in the future."

Oh wow, that is BS, and I just recently got the Portable 3 and Estimate DLC.  Guess this means now the PS4 game will now become inferior due to not having the collabs.  Here’s to hoping DJMAX Technika Tune, Ray, and Q get their packs though, I hope for more of the extensions to get on here.

A Technika Tune and Q pack just got released (no trophies though, unfortunately), and considering V Extension 3 got released on Steam earlier this month we'll hopefully get that soon...

At least we got it.  Better than being left out completely.

...so I just found out about PS4 trophy lists having a limit of 128 (which is the exact amount of trophies this game currently has), which might also be a reason for the lack of trophies, especially considering it has things like missions. It's possible to get more by setting up a separate trophy list, but who knows if they'll do that just for VEX 3... Eh, at least I'm happy to get the DLC packs either way
