DJMAX RESPECT V Steam Launch | Early Access | $50 with 20% off Launch Price
- Thread starter Dest
- Start date
Wait, the trailer has KDA from League of Legends playing and visuals for Get Jinxed at the end. That's kinda awesome.
My only exposure to DJMAX was Technika Tune, and I loved how that played on the Vita. Surprised to see that this is not only not touch screen based in any way, but also not kpop.

Okay, I know this works great on a keyboard, but really though, are there some Launchpad-Styled PC controllers out there that'll work with this thing? I'd love to jam out to some dedicated buttons if possible.
Most dedicated controllers use Beatmania IIDX arcade style buttons, as linked on the last post of the last page. Theoretically, there's nothing stopping you from using something like a Korg Nanopad 2, Beatstep, a midi fighter, or whatever you want with Bome's Midi Translator to map midi notes to keyboard inputs.
oh shit good idea. I wonder if I can use my mpk mini for this or if it would be confusing only having 4x2 pads... maybe I can use my Circuit Lol
First time using a keyboard for DJMAX and what a difference. Going to try messing with some midi inputs too, got a Beatstep lying around. Those arcade controllers look like a lot of fun, but just knowing I can up my game by finally moving away from the PSP/DualShock layout is exciting.
Are the "updates" all paid dlc?
Shame there isn't local 2p support. You figure the overhead to render 2 sets of notes isn't high.
I'm hoping the lack of local 2p support is just a result of this being a somewhat stripped down EA version. I believe it exists in the PS4 version.
I'm kind of surprised they bothered putting this in early access. The only thing that really jumps out at me as missing are controller button prompts. No arcade mode I guess, but I don't see them mentioning it anywhere so maybe it's gone for good.
I just wish there was a way to unlock all the songs instantly, it's going to take a long time for me to unlock them all again.

Monkey's paw.
They offer a method....but it's the same way you unlock all songs on PS4 & it's via $15 unlock key DLC.
All this DJMAX talk reminds me I never got Technika Tune on Vita. Should really play that one of these days.
It's so good and I'm praying they drop a song pack based on that version as the game has several songs that never made it off of that version like 'Take on Me' by Cuve.
It was really cool with backpad buttons too. It also had licensed kpop.
Tell me about it. I'd pay quite a bit for a port of the Kara songs from Technika Tune, I used to play those all the time on PSV and at the arcade.
Whaaaaaat, I never knew about this, and I have a Midi Fighter 64... thanks for the heads up! :) Gonna try it out later tonight!
Bit of an odd question, but can you set this up to use a touchscreen monitor for lanes (like, if the game has support for playing with a mouse it should work)? I enjoyed Technika Tune and play a ton of rhythm games but I'm terrible at the traditional DJ Max style of vertical scrolling lanes with insane note spam unless I can use touch controls, I find a regular controller too hard to use.
Edit: Seeing people saying on the Steam forum this has no calibration options for syncing audio with the notes. What the hell.

Nope, not at all. The way the notes are set up (8 button and rotate/turquoise notes), I can't ever see it working.
Playing on keyboard might take you some time to get used to, but its so good and accurate once you do learn it.
Bought this fast last night and jammed on it for a good 45mins. Played controller but will try keyboard today. Love that it is now on PC!
Are you supposed to be able to unlock stuff in AIR mode? It mentions earning rewards, but I played it for a bit last night and didn't notice anything. I like the idea of that mode, but if I can't unlock songs with it, I'll be sticking with freestyle for the foreseeable future.
If you love rhythm games I can't imagine you wouldn't love this. The series has been around for a long time, if you search youtube for DJMax you can see a ton of gameplay videos.
Konami
Apparently they have a patent for that (PS4 was apparently kinda different, maybe its effect is kinda negative on a monitor+keyboard), and it wouldn't be the first time they get sued by Konami.
Maybe someone can mod that in or something
If you like rhythm games its generally considered one of the best, and the UI/presentation in RESPECT is fantastic - it rivals the Persona games as far as I'm concerned. Just be warned it gets brutally difficult at higher difficulties so there's quite a learning curve and you're gonna have to be willing to fail a lot before you see noticeable improvement.
The EZMAX is very very worth it, and you can use it for more than just DJMax as well. Bought it for the PS4 version and it's very fun to play on.
Errr, almost every rhythm game ever has timing calibration options - Project Diva, Voez, Starlight Stage, Groove Coaster etc. - with Persona and this being the two exceptions. You literally cannot release a rhythm game without the ability for people to account for display response times, even 1ms out is noticeable.
Do you happen to know what the differences between microswitches are? Is it just the pressure required to activate it? The question mark isn't giving me any info on any browser I've tried.
What's the difficulty curve on this like? Is it like guitar hero where there's a normal curve of like 20-30 songs on normal or above then a brick wall like Raining Blood/Jordan 3 songs from the end? Or is it more like Lumines where tempos get varied and the more difficult songs are spaced out throughout your progress? Or is it like Rock Band where you can just unlock everything by playing enough times, regardless of your progress?
Eh, that's what I've read. Some might have reached an agreement with Konami or maybe it only affects cerain rhythm games, idk.
This sounds completely ridiculous and now I'm thinking about double-dipping to try this out with my MPD218 pad controller. DAMMIT.
To be honest, using a standard 4x4 drum pad controller seems a little weird unless you only plan on playing 4k.
I'm a DJMax beginner (kind of? Haven't played since DJMax Online, not counting Technika games) and I started at 8 keys, it's fine.

Whatever the reason I hope they get it resolved. It isn't bothering me, but on some setups it is probably unplayable.
Yep it's just the pressure required to activate it. Cabs usually use higher weight but lower weight is easier on the hands. I personally use 100g switches but it's all down to preference.
They should just bring the calibration from the PS4 version over. Yea it isn't perfect but it would help out a lot.
The patent probably only effects rhythm games that are keysounded to the music, and none of those on the list are. They either have their own hit sounds or don't have any keysounds at all.

A press and hold should work. You actually don't have to rotate them at all.
+The OVERLOAD? skin is nooice, will use that until we get the DLC skins later.

Are there any decent cheap ($50) controllers that work well for this and TapSonic? I have an arcade stick and I tried re-mapping the buttons for 4Key, but when I go into Air mode, whenever I press certain buttons, it keeps going into AutoPlay and entering the message screen.
As mentioned earlier on in the thread, its possible by using a keystroke mapping software called Midi Translator Classic. It took me a few hours to figure the mapping out, and I still need to fix the Right Shift key, but I got it working on my Midi Fighter 64.
I did a stream of me using it last night:

You can, but 8B is a bit if a mind fuck at first. I might suggest 6B for a bit to get adjusted and go from there.
Question!
Best dedicated controller to buy? Any good options?
SC stuff?
But just to say, there are folks who have cleared the mega hard 10B mission songs with a controller. Anything can be done lol
Some songs got an additional SC difficulty that's above maximum and is intended for keyboard play. Mostly it includes more multi note combos.
