Project DIVA F: Recording Gameplays!

As always, a phenomenal effort from you, Magical39! No matter how much I practice, there's just no way I can even come close to your skill. Doesn't stop me from trying though; indeed, you posting this inspired me to have a crack at recording some footage myself. Sadly, I'm afraid I can't offer any advice to your arrow input problem, but I have no doubts you'll prevail in the end. :)

Here's my best attempt thus far on "Online Game Addicts Sprechchor"; controller included, of course. :3



Perhaps I'll make some more later down the track, if people are interested. I'm also totally open for feedback on recording / editing tips, so please feel free to offer your suggestions.

 

Hou, do you also play like that in the Vita (most presses by your right thumb only, rare left thumb presses)? I've pretty much played by alternating right and left even on slow notes.

 

I'm tempted to getting this thing. It's not that highly priced.. Can you do Rin Chin now and gekishou extremes?

do et

 

Commented on the video itself, but it can't be said enough; stellar performance as always, Magical39. :) I've yet to attempt Senbonzakura on EXTREME yet; I'm starting to get some solid Perfects on HARD for many songs now, yet their EXTREME version seems to utterly destroy me; but it's certainly one of my favourite songs in DIVA F, so I appreciate such a good run for a good song. <3

It's only a matter of time before we see a Perfect Sadistic.Music Factory EXTREME with Shy Target Challenge enabled... yes? :P

Magical will no doubt put any effort of mine to shame, but I went ahead and did a Gekishou recording in DT2nd anyway. Enjoy. :)

 

That was awesome. I can't believe you did the quads with one hand without getting fines. I doubt that's possible with a sixaxis. Makes me wonder why I spend all those hours doing DT2nd/ext gekishou extreme perfect normally.

Can you really take out the buttons and rearrange them around? With mini/large? I think I would prefer the typical layout.

Also, how do you find the star notes?

Last two questions sort of directed at both of you guys.

 

For the large controller, you have a choice of either keeping the buttons in the original PS Sixaxis controller arrangement, or you can move them into an PD Arcade-style arrangement. A little switch in the corner of the controller swaps the hardwired configuration of the buttons between the two options, and the domes come on and off with some twisting. Not sure if the Mini-Controller has this ability...

Personally, I use the PD Arcade configuration due to my experience with the actual arcade machine (which I fell in love with), and wanting to recreate that experience back at home. Admittedly, it probably makes some songs harder (Notably Rin-chan Now! and Sadistic.Music Factory EXTREMEs), but I honestly don't care. :P

The star notes on the large controller's touch pad is, I find, a little hit and miss. Most of the time, it's very responsive and much more enjoyable than using a stick (IMHO), but when rapid star-note inputs are required on the Extreme difficulties, using two fingers to pull it off seems to result in "over-inputting". This pretty much relegates a chain of rapid star notes to "All-FINE", with you praying that it happens to register as an unbroken combo... but maybe I still haven't found the right "trick" to using the pad yet. I should try smaller strokes; it seems to work better than larger strokes.

 

I ended up buying the mini controller. After shipping and duty charges, it was probably going to be close to 7 for the large. But that wasn't even my main concern. My main concern is if it would even work on the next project diva game, which would likely release after PS4 comes out, and might be PS4/Vita exclusive. That would suck if the controller couldn't work with PS4. So, I'll probably buy the large one next time. Even though it looks soooo much fun :/

 

Bumping this with a new effort of mine. I recall someone here mentioning that the Chance Time segment in Secret Police EXTREME was outright absurd, so here's me having a stab at it. :3



That segment where you alternate between standard and arrow notes could be easily overcome by exploitng the arrow input trick... but I want those bonus points too much. ;_;

Next up will involve me attempting to defeat Rin-chan now! EXTREME. I don't think my arms are prepared for it.

 

Wait, those videos are YOU Magical39? I ended up watching a number of your videos on Youtube last week when I was researching the mini-controller. I had no idea it was you, lol.

 

Yeah ! Finally registred on the forum xD
I'm from other community of french fans of Project Diva.

So..; Gameplay of Project Diva ?
I do some with my personal HomeMade Controller.

All is on my Youtube Playlist :

But I do some Live on Twitch too :D
And Today, I do one (at almost 18:00 GMT+1)
I have to finish my two last Perfect on Extend, so I can do it on live.

It's a direct stream of the game with a Elgato Game Capture HD, and a camera for my Controller.
Like on this video :



For the live, I don't know how to set a good quality without lag, so I do some try now to see, so you can directly come on my Twitch, maybe I will do something... :o

video unavailable :/

 

Greeeaaaaatt.... Ok :/

So... it's a lot like this old video of me:

Spoiler

But with a direct stream of the game, and not a camera for the game ^^
(On this video, it's my controller in a not finished version, now, this is my controller :

Spoiler

EDIT : The live works great, so, maybe I can start a live tomorrow or this night (In France, it's now 20:20, maybe at 23:00 more or less...)
