Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Pentavision has returned from development hell to bring fans one last hurrah for a rhythm series that has endured since the days of the PlayStation Portable. DJ Max Portable, while in a similar mold as that of Konami’s Beatmania series, has retained its own identity as a masterclass rhythm series filled with a diverse range of Korean club hits across a wide range of musical genres. While Pentavision themselves may no longer exist, the studio has reformed into Neowiz and brought the band back together for a lasting tribute to the dozen-plus years of DJ Max. In a fitting name of tribute for the first PS4 release of the DJ Max series, DJMax Respect celebrates those years when Korean rhythm games were able to gain a foothold in an ever-growing Japanese arcade market.
