Harmonix Developers Talk About Dance Central 3's Most Important Element: Time Travel

Bam

Edit: Fighting Crime... with sick dance moves!

Well good to see that they are having a go at bringing a story to the game. And hell why not GODDAMM TIME TRAVEL IN AN EFFORT TO STOP DANCE CRIMES

Pope!

They should have spent some time showing "THE TIME BELT"

DANCE CRIMES!

also...

BONKERZ.NET

Goddamn it I love you Eric Pope. Throwing in Pax East jokes into PR videos? Fuck yes. Also where's my Time Belt Harmonix?!

Saints Dance Row Central?

No, Alex. DC3's most important element is a move called the "Time Belt".

While the game sounds iterative enough and I'm sure my wife will want it, I wish they would take a year off between games. The fist game was special, the second game was better ... and probably what the first game should have been, but they are going to run it into the ground at this rate.

Dance Central 3: Time Trotters

DCI...so there's Drum Corps songs in this. Interesting.

Oh, Dance Central Intelligence? I guess that's ok too.

RECORD SCRATCH

I like the idea but I'm not so hot on the historic tracks announced so far. The Macerana? I still remember the terror and havoc that thing wrought, Harmonix.

I like everything about this game right up until the point where I have to dance. Or listen to a bunch of songs I don't really like.

Just recycle this plot for Rock Band 4 and I am DOWN.

Time to put those CBS lawyers to work!

Beautiful people, beautiful people, Eric Pope, beautiful people... Just kidding. Love you Pope.

I love that none of them are actually taking the story seriously at all.

It's the right way to approach story in a game like Dance Central 3.

Ridiculous.

If I could be a creep-o for just a second here...

Allison Thresher, call me.

Sorry.

Well obviously it's the dance crime you are going back in time to stop.

I'm sure she'll get right on that creep.

This seems like a neat idea, but I wish they'd be more confident in their story. It just seems to be strangely awkward during this video with some people. I would have rather had Pope talk through most of this.

Dem Sideburns.

A boom box that is a time machine that needs to be recharged with star energy, which you acquire from dancing. Duh!

Das Pope!

Does Harmonix owe Jeff Gerstmann/Ryan Davis/Rich Gallup and that other dude money? Because this sure sounds ALOT like Time Trotters. (I'm only slightly kidding)

Getting hella SR3 vibe from that shit.

They should be using time travel to solve more important stuff like video game crimes.

I want to know more about the DC3 mythology, what is the origins story of DCI

Are flowery arm tattoos a requirement for all employees at Harmonix?

I'm disappointed the time travel device isn't a belt.

Their game story seems pretty solid. I'm surprised that none of the developers were able to manage their composure while talking about it.

Harmonix has more bad tattoos than an episode of The Ultimate Fighter Brasil.

2:10 she is like " am I really saying all this nonsense?????"

Although they never did answer paradox if you do the dougie during the 70s.

Loving the bonkerz.net shout out.

Well that changes everything!

His name is Dr Tan, but now I wish he was named Dr Tran.

Absurd to the point of awesomeness.... but I'm still not going to buy a Kinect.

It's like Time Trotters but with dancing! Finally Giant Bomb can get on those sweet royalties from Dance Central, no more premium memberships ever yay!

Guys, please don't tell Ryan but I've still never watched Time Trotters. Something about associating Ryan with "the trots" has kept me at bay.

It's ok they don't want to watch it anymore either.

This sounds like the most ridiculous shit ever. I love it.

Looks like that third Saints Row game

Now more than ever does Pope look like a marsupial in this video.
