Talk:Just Dance 2018/@comment-32713584-20180206144833

In all seriousness though, I think it's the right time to think about the future of the JD series. To quote Hardcore Gamer's Steve Hannley in his JD18 review:

"It’s starting to feel pointless to review Just Dance titles since it’s hard to grasp what exactly Ubisoft is trying to accomplish with them at this point, but darn it I’ve come this far and I’m going to see this through, even if it takes until Just Dance 2049. When Just Dance Unlimited debuted, it seemed primed as a service to take over the yearly physical installments as a continually-updated platform to debut new songs into Just Dance, but it seems like it’s now become a way to simply access the back catalog of the series without swapping discs."

Damn, did he really think forward to 2049? By that point today's team of choreographers/dancers would be old-ish already. What would happen, though? My guess is either a new dev/choreographers/dancers team or the JD series already reached its end.

Even now there's already a portion of the fanbase that is discontent with the state of JD today. Lame choreos, bad song choices, not having their fav artists featured, etc..... In some ways I'll have to agree with them - the JD series right now is oversaturated. And the reason for continuing yearly game releases - in our view - is budget to keep the series running and pay for the JD dev team. But for as lovely as the JD dev team can be, I believe they already knew too well that JD will eventually reach its end.

I could see the series ending at most 4-6 years from now. And if the series does end, I'd be so conflicted. Since JD is a really fun part of my life (and everyone else here, too).
