Looks pretty...boring. Tech looks neat, but this feels like it would get old really quickly.

For me the question is what other tools will the players have apart from just switching tracks, like having a fader or a beat pad. I actually like the concept, but I'll have to see the complete package before I commit.

I think this will be cool to use in VR, or using the touch screen functionality on a Switch. If they have local multiplayer on the Switch with a "pass the track" type of gameplay that would amazing.

This looks awesome, but I really need another DJ Hero
Honestly I want Harmonix to actually make a more "traditonal" rhythm game, perhaps in the footsteps of a Konami BEMANI game. Those games rock and it feels like the only games that are similar to it are Osu! (which I'm not super into, it feels like most of the songs now are catered to the best players) and Stepmania (and pads are expensive for those!)

Interesting gameplay. Curious if the difficulty will scale up, and if so what that will look like.

Yes please. Another DJ Hero would be incredible.

All the modern rhythm games are on mobile these days. Many of them are good games, but the monetization varies a lot. Of them, Cytus II has one of the most straightforward IAP imo.

I used to play a lot of Cytus 1. I haven't paid money for a good rhythm game, and I want to see if Bang! Dream is good.

Am I going to have to buy more expensive plastic peripherals for my closet?

Otherwise, I'm down for more rhythm games.
Give me another DJ Hero please.

I always wanted dropmix but couldn't justify adding the big plastic yugioh platter to my home (i have too many of those already). I was also afraid that it using a phone app would risk it not working in the future.

An all-digital version is an instabuy for me. I hope it has a lot of songs to play around with.

New trailer



It's up on Steam and EGS.

Can anyone confirm the USA price on EGS? It's £59.99 or £99.99 for the VIP edition in the UK, which seems like a lot. I don't see a price on Steam yet.

I can confirm that it's $59.99 / $99.99 USD. But yeah, it does seem a bit much for me as well, although that would highly depend on the cost for each track.

I hate that this is called a gameplay trailer, because maybe it's just me but I watched that and I maybe saw about 5-10 seconds of what the actual gameplay loop is and I can't work out what on earth you do or how it plays. Is there an explanation anywhere?

This IGN "DJ Battle" video might answer your question. All honesty, I can't help but feel that the game feels a tad bit "shallow" or that it's missing something. Hopefully they'll reveal more gameplay features/modes down the line.

Looks like the VIP is the 25 DLC songs available at launch, some costume bits too. (And +3 DLC for preordering) according to https://www.fuser.com/en-us?section=preorder.

That and the trailer both say 'Over 100 songs', so I guess that's the initial ballpark.

I went all in on Dropmix and still play it every now and then and I still can't grasp what the hell is going on in the "Gameplay" trailer.

There are a few gameplay videos out there. For the most part, what was shown in them was an extension of the party mode from Dropmix, where certain requests are made or challenges are issued that you must fulfill using the songs that are available. I'm guessing that isn't the entire game, and that things like the puzzle mode, having limited tracklists to work with depending on the festival, e.t.c, will probably be in there, too.

I dont think this would win Alternative/Music Rhythm title of the year even if it was the only game nominated.

Is this a game?

Harmonix lost me hard with the Amplitude remake, this will need insane word of mouth for me to consider picking it up.

Seriously. Lots of assholes acting like Harmonix aren't worth anything, when they've been releasing Rock Band songs continuously from 2007 up until today with only a brief break from early 2013 to late 2015. And they spent a ton of time porting every goddamn song to next gen, and adding support for every goddamn instrument (except keyboard) INCLUDING Guitar Hero ones. All while Activision did their best to kill off the genre for good with their lousy revival attempt. Harmonix are the very definition of dedication. Mad respect.
Agreed. Music/rhythm is my favorite video game genre and it sucks to see many people brush the genre off as a "fad". I will always support Harmonix and their dedication to their fans and music as a whole. I hope Fuser blows up with the TikTok crowd and the many people who can't go to festivals due to covid-19.

In the PC version, can someone mod in or add their own tracks and music?

This game probably had an extremely different marketing plan set up for the year, before Covid-19 happened.

It debuted at PAX East in February and it looked like they were going to release in the Summer or something.

I'm in the same boat. I've gotten nearly every thing they've put out rhythm game wise and I really wanted this to be digital drop mix but I think we've seen like 2 smaller preview streams months ago.
Their socials are just retweeting the unexpected DJ promo images you can make and having weekly DJ streams but not gameplay. 🤷‍♂️

The sessions with Harmonix's DJ Zoe on Twitch/YouTube are pretty much gameplay from what I can see.


any idea if those launch DLC songs will be available seperately?

I spent some time with Dropmix and I was in love. As someone who doesn't DJ (nor will I ever) I LOVE messing around with music like this. I'm so super pumped to get this game!

This is the boat that I'm in; I've made mixes on Ableton before, but having something that will allow me to easily mash up songs sounds like a dream come true
