Auto Play mode - some of the ign screenshots show Auto Play at the bottom of the screen
Now somebody go get me a demo disc so I can extract the tentative song list. Whee!

You have to be a member of the press. The Gamer Advisory Panel doesn't cut it. Sorry.

From the look of the screen shots, the actual music video for Days Go By will be the background. That good enough?

I went over to Gamespot, and they've added about seven pictures for DDR Ultramix. After inspecting them thoroughly, I found these song titles in the backgrounds:
CONFIRMED BY DDRSPOT
Let's Talk It Over
Look To The Sky (True Colors Mix)
UNCONFIRMED BY DDRSPOT
Candy (Heart)
Drop The Bomb (The imfamous "first" screenshot)
Sana Morette Ne Ente
The Earth Light
The appearance of Candy (Heart) is VERY intriging. Looks like the X-Box owners are getting a "best-of" U.S. collection, and then some.

From what I've been told, the actual music videos for Days Go By and Take Me Away (Into The Night) will be used as the background FMVs during gameplay. I, for one, can't wait to freestyle to Days Go By. =\;-D
Edit: Just talked to Mel, Breakdown is a speculative song, but hasn't been tested yet. Couldn't hear him too well over the floor noise and crappy cell phone reception on my end. They said they'll head back over to the booth later and see if anything new has come up.

That's not fair. Now I have to go out and buy an Xbox  .
Oh and is that all that konami was talking about? What about that thing you guys had posted earlier about them coming out with a new game or something that has you singing and dancing and stuff. What's that all about???? All I know is I can't wait to get my Xbox and stuff cause then you will know who the best ddrers are out there. The only problem is making sure both players are using a pad and not just using the controller because that is just like cheating and It will not really prove anything,

Puting the actual music videos in the background was a good idea. Now Konami can be lazy (when it comes to video creation) while still looking pretty cool

It's because everyone's on the floor, and it's not like people are running back to upload pictures. I believe only one of the mods there actually has internet access, and that's at the hotel.
We'll get them eventually, just be patient.

I'm not sure if any xbox owners looked at the pictures closely... I have a couple comments about the xbox version
1. Screen shot of Drop The Bomb??? will it be on xbox version??
2. Little yellow combo text stand for longest combo? (maybe)
3. Is there a new grade system because theres a letter near the score box
Anyone notice these comments or are they mis leading |

From what I can tell, the big counter is PERFECT combo, and the little bar is just normal combo. That's pretty cool.
Ultramix sounds great so far (QUICKENING!!!!! MIND PARASITE!!!!!!), but those screens look... a lot like DWI/Stepmania. Meaning very low quality, but the characters look good.
I'm already happy with DDRMax2, Twilight Zone is in it

Actually this could be a great thing because you could have online tournaments. Instead of having to travel thousands of miles you can play the tourneys right online.

Heh. Argie Phine. Seriously speaking though, sounds interesting. :wonders if Max2 will feature hellish ONI's featuring more than 17-21 songs: |
