THE iDOLM@STER > THE iDOLM@STER Platinum Stars
Pre-release thread: THE iDOLM@STER: Platinum Stars
mariokirby:
First, I would like to thank everyone who watched the stream and telling us what happened. That’s very kind of you all.
I’ve watched the PV several times, and I have my own pros/cons. This is just my own opinion/speculation. I understand the game is only 60% completed.
Remember, this is just my opinions (which are wrong sometimes).
Pros
-Better graphics
-Character models look pretty good
-Concerts generally look better (Ex. Lighting, more camera angles, etc.)
-Hair moves more naturally during dances
-Opening song sounds great
-Have camp scenes similar to office scenes in OFA where idols interact with each other in a 3D environment (the camp site)
-Have a level up system similar to OFA (like the EXP and Idol rank), but still distinguishes itself by having Appeal, Burst, Omoide stats with rankings on each stat (except Appeal) instead of the usual Vocal/Visual/Dance stat
-Stage outfits look pretty good (according to yukibro, they may do more than just boost stats)
-They have changed the Rhythm gameplay mechanic to resemble like a real rhythm game, but keeping certain im@s specific elements like memories and likely bursts intact.
Neutral
-I didn’t see Festivals or Auditions in the PV. Just Lives and Stage for You concerts. Maybe, I missed it or something.
Cons
-Image type based on CG (Not saying there’s something wrong with cute/cool/passion, but I would prefer vocal/visual/dance since it makes more sense. Vocal/visual/dance is seen as idol skills/talent while I see cute/cool/passion as just personality types.)
-One on one communication with idol still has 2D background
-Seems like their default casual outfit is their camp training wear (this may limit idol communication places since you wouldn’t go to a mall or a restaurant with your camp training wear. So, I’m a little worried that communications maybe less emphasized here when compared to concerts.)
Anyways, this game is #1 on my "games to get list". Can't wait.
EDIT: I see some you people have changed their avatars. Cool.

I'd just like to say that waking up at 7am to watch a stream is not worth it. Especially considering that PS itself wasn't shown off until the last 15 minutes. Although having Twitter on another tab did help with the occasional boredom especially with animagic and Scotty's tweets.
Anyway, onto the game itself. It looks so dang pretty. I know some were skeptical about the models alone but I feel seeing them in motion should alleviate some complaints.
I hope to make this my first iM@S game, so I have quite a bit of Japanese to learn in a few months time.

That's good. But, I really think you should also play the previous games like Im@s 2/OFA just for experience and knowledge. (Im@s 1 maybe a pipe dream due to expensive region lock xbox 360).
Remember, there will likely be DLC where you could spend much more than the game itself like the previous games.
But, I understand your situation with regards to ownership of PS3/PS4 in your place.
EDIT: The PV song is stuck in my head. But, it's a good song, so that's okay.
Nakiame:
I've dumped the stream for myself.
It's mostly usual funny talk-show, but if you missed it and want to catch-up feel free to dl.

I still like the older models better, but I am okay with the new ones.
