Finally, the latest in the IIDX series was released yesterday but the upgrade will happen in September 25th which is 5 days away from now. This is the first IIDX game with HD graphics which may have shifted from the 640X480 resolution to 1280X720. Previously, for first to ninth styles, the resolution is actually 4:3 but the visuals are purposely squashed to make the whole thing fittable into widescreen monitor. The widescreen monitor eventually stretches the game’s resolution to 16:9 screen mode and that looks impressive even until today with 19th Lincle. The gameplay interface is redone for high definition and the results screens pictures return ever since the previous IIDX games. However, the total notes information is longer on song results screens and the song results screen is somewhat different in this one compared to previous IIDX games. Normally, you get to see the song results screen with the number of notes done from poorly to perfectly as well as the total number of notes depending on the song. To add more freedom, you can move the score graph and the video panes to whichever location you want as well as see how you rank on a specific song against other players in the same game. It may be similar to other rhythm games when comparing your scores against other players’ in specific songs in specific difficulties.
