Pre-release thread: THE iDOLM@STER: Platinum Stars

[Clear Blue]

Something about these new models have a MMD vibe on them, hmm...

Maybe I'm just not used to them yet.

Any SideM DLC?

Thanks, for posting.  Now that I'm seeing the screenshots clearly, I guess my speculations on the stat/game mechanics is probably wrong. 

When selecting an idol, there's 3 stats listed.  Appeal, Burst, and Omoide? (does that mean memories?)

New article, 1 new image included.

According the the article.  It says scheduled release date 2016.  (Well, that's another game to get this year.)

Looks like READY!! is in this game.

Also, drop shadows don't look the "X"s anymore.

Well, that's sad. I liked the X shadows, it already was like one of iM@S' signatures or something haha.

EDIT: Looks like the X shadows are still in game! It's not very noticeable, but you can totally see it a bit! Thanks god lol.

It seemed strange for me that they removed the X shadows, as even Starlight Stage has them.

And btw I totally LOVE that Hibiki model! She is one of the best looking models in the game so far! <3

Any SideM DLC?

Throw me some Dearly Stars DLC and we'll talk. They're still relevant!

Right guys?

Guise? ;~;

Give me my Million Live DLC with Shiho this time and I am going in, son!

Thanks. That sea of red glow sticks man.

Somehow that stage really reminds my of the stage at 10th...

would love me some jupiter, dramatic stars, SEM and High x Joker xD

I'd be fine with any CG as long as it's not more New Generations.

(love laika plz?)

[Nagi]

I need Triad Primus. Please please please. (Also, Beyond the Stars and Overmaster better still be in the game, or at least as DLC. I can't imagine myself without being able to produce Project Fairy without their image song and costumes! w)

[SideM]

How about short Ryuuguu Komachi style episodes for all of them? A guy can dream

[Roswell]

I hope they show individualized costumes soon, identical costumes can get boring when there's too many of them :x
I also think the new models look a little off in the face, but I really want to see them in action before saying anything else

You know it's a sad state of affairs when people start talking DLC.

But in hindsight, one might as well hold off until inevitable discounts.

I'm interested in what that variable tune tech is about. We already can choose different idols to sing so it's not that.

Not tune, toon. As in, toon rendering.

Sensitive Toon is what they called their shading algorithm in Im@s 2. They're doing something a little different here, but they're calling it Variable Toon.

Yep. We don't even know all about the game yet and it's already begun.

Ah that makes much more sense, thanks.

On a side-note, I wonder if they'll change up the idol animations during commus. Those images in the article are the same ones we've seen, like Chihaya holding her right arm.
