Acclaim is creating a first-of-its-kind massively multiplayer club dancing
game.
Our brand new online game called DANCE! has been kept secret while under
development, and now will be ready for Closed Beta testing in the coming
weeks. DANCE! is a really fun and addictive FREE online game that brings
the best chart-topping music and dancing gameplay right to your PC!
- Synchronize with the beat to perform the hottest club-style dance moves.
- Play with your friends and compete in dance battles to see who can keep
up.
- Customize your character just the way you want to look, with cool
clothing, accessories and special abilities.
- Meet other male and female players online, become a couple, or even get
married!
DANCE! will also include an unbelievable roster of hit music from some of
the top music artists on the planet (The amazing playlist is soon to be
announced!). As it's a game for you, we're putting the final power of
choice into your hands--by signing up, you'll be invited to vote for the
best songs.
The game is directed by video game industry veteran David Perry. "I've been
a huge fan of dancing games for years. For this game we've been secretly
working with incredible developers to be the first to bring a really cool
Massively Multiplayer Online Dance style game to the market," says Perry.
To register for the DANCE! beta testing team, simply sign in with your

See you on the dance floor!

*DANCE DANCE*
Omg how F&%$ing stupid lol
Sounds like DDR + The Sims + Online. A different approach, that's for sure.
I am the type of player where I like to do everything and anything from time to time.

Nope. Even worse.... Dance-offs.
While this is certainly not for me, I am happy that somebody is trying something different. Instead of the 75th game that is exactly the same as all of the others, they are at least doing something new. The reason we rarely see any innovation can be easily seen by the reactions of the posters above me.
...
I'm all about someone pushing forward in the MMORPG genre. Just like my post in the Static Rewards thread indicates. However, I'm free to voice my distaste to this genre. I see others declare their unhappiness with WoW and other games of that nature, does it mean we're going to stop developers from making WoW clones?
I see what you mean, but I think that it's obvious that we're not afraid of new ideas, we're just turned off at the idea of a Dancing MMO (don't we already have one called Guild Wars?).
be a magician or an elf in real life, thats why those type of games are
so popular - they allow people's fantasies to come tru, in simulated
world of course, but thats as close as we can get to a faptasy world
atm. Dancing mmo? I doubt it will be popular, why play a dancing game
when you can just get up your chair and dance for real? Unless this
game somehow allows you to transfer your physical dancing moves into
the game like dance dance revolution game where you actualy perform
your dance physicaly. Dunno, at this point this idea sounds crazy and
silly to me.

Sounds like they're marketing this towards the 8-year-old girl demographic. I wonder if there's much demand from them?

That
actualy worries me a lot. You cant replace real life with simulated.
This trend needs to be discouraged before it goes out of hand... next
thing we know, the whole world will be hooked up to virtual reality
living their lives in a computer simulation, neglecting real life
completely like in Matrix... that will be the end of us.
We need games that helps us live our fantasies, not replace our life.

While this game holds NO interest for me, i still say let them try.
Just because i dont like it,doesnt mean it will fail.There may well be enough people out there who do, that this thing could actually float.If nothing else i will be interested to see just how many subscribers they get and what they do right and wrong as they develope the game.
I was very suprised when i got the email. I guess they just mass emailed everyone with an acclaim account.Funny things is, i didnt know i even had an acclaim account .
Maybe some people are going to play this, not for long tough.
Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware
"Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."
