What’s that tapping noise? by Bart

August 14th, 2009

That tapping noise you’ve been hearing if you’ve walked past The Shop lately is the Tapulous crew hard at work putting the finishing touches on Tap Tap Revenge 3.

Sean secluded himself in Shanghai for extra special backend magicianery. Ed swore a specially selected group of Elite Testers to secrecy while they’re testing the beta builds. Krohn7master is spending the Summer with us making sure there will be no dropped taps. Zach is taking a break from his day job approving chat mods to hack in some crazy web features. Andrew’s writing code. Ernest is making green stuff. In short, this is going to be dope.

Tap Tap Revenge 3 will include a Store where you’ll be able to buy awesome new tracks. What else do YOU think will be in TTR3? Comment below. The best, funniest, craziest reply in the comment thread will get an autographed copy of the game when we go live!

  1. holy crap is that ttr3 I see?

  2. Which beta tester??

  3. hahaha that YouTube vid was priceless…the “No Life” Award definitely needs to be an achievement for sure!!

    Cant wait for TTR3!! Keep up the great work Tapulous!!!

  4. Hmm, I see two things wrong with that post. Autographed copy of the game? lol and how do you know who was the 1,000th downloader? Technically wouldn’t it be the 1,000 person to add it to their Tapulous account? : /

  5. wow now I feel like a dumbass for asking that. Didn’t watch the video first :P

  6. I think another feature of Tap Tap 3 will be the ability, at the very tap of a button, to release a dozen rampant beavers into the hands of 49 Mexican folk musicians that are eating lizards in space on a frog with mustard everywhere!

    Thats just my opinion :)

  7. will there still be weekly free song releases?

  8. ITs True!!!! ed made me swear not to say anything, he said that if I said nothing until release he would give me my mom and little brother back and he would tell me who was my father.

    The point is youll just have to keep guessing on whats in TTR3 ;) :P

    With the quintuple tap of the button hidden in the top-right-hand corner as the version number, the number 1 will appear on the screen and increase with each tap. Once it reaches 100, Tap Tap Revenge 4 beta will appear with the added bonus of enabling the iPod replace your toaster, while still allowing you to play Tap Tap Revenge.

    A little known fact about TTR3 is that if you get a highscore within the top 34, 28 dancing gorillas singing cabaret will be holographically projected from the iPhone and if the projection hits your face, it will instantly and permanently tattoo the TTR3 logo onto your forehead. This logo will automatically launch TTR3 if pressed. This logo also contains a radioactive component that will cause you to dance if you are playing tap tap while waiting for a bus. Another side effect of the logo’s radiation is to cure “top ranking players are cheaters” syndrome.
    If you try to resist the effects of the logo then TTR3 will start dropping taps in Trinary that if translated spells Resistance is Futile because TTR3 is AWESOME! The taps will stop dropping if you choose willingly to succumb to the effects of the logo.
    The final side effect of the logo is to make cake several factors more delicious…
    Umm….Cake….

    I’m serious, is this going to be a feature? XD

  11. Trekluver
    August 14th, 2009

    That was weird? On the serious side I think it will have the long awaited retry button, Per-to-Per (OS 3.0), More artists, and all the music I’ve been asking for (Celtic Thunder,Weird Al, and Jessie James), for a low, low price!!!!!! Yep that sounds like it to me! Oh well, I would buy songs by these artists but what would be convenient would be if tapulous could scan you iPod/iPhone and see the music on your device and instead of then buying the track in tap tap 3 they give it to you free! But I don’t think that they can for the sake of money! (I ment privacy, hee hee) Can’t wait for this game to come out! Hey also it would be cool if the $.99 this is going to cost could go towards your first song purchace. Now how does that sound?

  12. I’m guessing there will be a ton of new songs, like when TTR2 came out, and i see there is a new interface.

  13. I think TTR3 will give you the ability to rickroll friends by being able to send out challenges for “Never Gonna Give You Up” disguised as other songs.

  14. Trekluver
    August 14th, 2009

    Hey does any one notice in the picture the song title “Tap Tap Domination”, I hope this means we can import songs from TTR2 into TTR3. Either that or it is included in the game as a default track just like TTR2.

  15. Man I hate you tapulous, making me spend all my money on your beautiful games. And if you actually get some Metallica like the many people playing your apps have asked for all year, then I will be screwed. Why don’t I hand you my $80 now? (That is my estimated yearly spending) No seriously, get some rockers we know!!!!

  16. Ethan/Otoris

    I’m hoping Tap Tap Revenge 3 will feature a built in geiger counter to test how radioactive my fingers become while playing this game. ^_^

  17. Ethan/Otoris
    August 14th, 2009

    Also, maybe a fire extinguisher for those expert level songs that often burn the glass of my IPod Touch.

  18. Ethan/Otoris
    August 14th, 2009

    TTR3 will feature a solo from the smooth tones of Bart. :D Accompanied by the Tapulous staff! Now that is going to be sick!

  19. There will be a song that features the awesome sound of Tap Tap Revenge 3 beta testers playing the game – all set to a brand new version of – wait for it – Tap Tap Domination! XD

  20. You’ll be able to take a picture of a Guitar Hero or Rock Band song and have it INSTANTLY imported into the game.

  21. An autographed copy of the game? Isn’t it downloadable?

  22. OK, fine. If you don’t want the autographed copy of the game -let’s face it, that is UNIQUE- alternatively the winner can requested an autographed Tap Tap Revenge 3 poster (which will look SWEET).

  23. I want a TTR3 poster! :O

    Hmmmm… The crazy-est thing (sorry 4 my English) that can be in TTR3 is… Looping-mode where there is an looping in the “rail”. The “balls” can go tto the looping or can go directy to the tapping area. Hmmmm… Nice.
    Or a No-Rail-Mode… The balls will bounce around, and you have to tap them when they come in the “tapping-area”. So… Maybe you have to use more than 3 fingers…

  25. Trekluver
    August 15th, 2009

    No this “Balls all over the screen mode” is only available on the iTablet set for release in 2039. It will also include a stare mode so you can stare at the balls instead of taping them, it’s briliant StareStareRevenge!

  26. I think of something new about TTR3 will be that instead of dropping the balls will fall to the faces of the developers of the game would be quite funny xD

  27. how we gonna buy the track with the iTunes account, paypal, or something ???

  28. NFreak007
    August 15th, 2009

    “Tap Tap Revenge 3 will include a Store where you’ll be able to buy awesome new tracks. ”

    That sentence has set off alarm bells in my head. The beauty of Tap Tap Revenge 1 and 2 was that it was all free. I personally am too poor (student) to pay for all my new tracks. So what’s going on: will all the tracks cost money, or just some of them? Or is this just a badly worded sentence and they’re still free? (I’m praying it’s the latter…)

  29. In TTR3 there will be a groundbreaking feature that if the game senses you are not playing well a hand will come out of the screen and knock you in the face to wake you up.

  30. Jared Best
    August 15th, 2009

    Whats Tap Tap? XD

  31. In TTR3, there is a mode where every note that you hit correctly gives you 1 point, and then points can be traded in for prizes such as itunes gift cards!

  32. One of the TTR3 beta testers told me, they’ll have a Chuck Norris theme. The taps are little Nerds and if you hit a tap they’ll be splattered and blood will cover the screen. That’s why iTunes told tapulous that TTR3 can only be available for real badasses. You can achieve the real badass award in TTR2 by slamming your device into a wall.

    But that’s just what I’ve heard so far. I hope tapulous will come clear about this rumor soon…

  33. Coconutbowling
    August 15th, 2009

    TTR 3 will be a big flop compared to the others. Why? Since the release of Envirobear 2010, every game has been mediocre. I expect this game will have terrible graphics, etc. This game will also be terrible because of the Pocket God Easter egg allowing you to tap pygmies instead of notes.
    It’s a shame Tapulous has gone so downhill. :D

  34. I want the autographed copy only if it comes with the new and improved logo shown in the movie!

  35. I have a great idea! There should be a button on the menu only visible to those worthy of seeing it, that, upon being pressed, takes every byte of data that makes up the game and re-arrange them physically in the real world. I think this would be a great feature because if a company like Tapulous wanted to give a away an autographed copy of the game, they could then make the winner worthy of seeing the invisible button so that a physical copy of the game could be created in order to be autographed. I really don’t know what I would do if this was not put into the game….. I would actually have to get a life…. No…. That would be unaccaptable…. I am too much of a tap tap addict…. Must….. Have….. Physical….. Copy……. Of tap tap….. To show off….. *Jumps of cliff*

  36. Every track in Tap Tap 3 will include the vocals of Chuck Norris, and every “dot” you have to tap will now be fists. But, don’t expect to finish a song ever because Chuck Norris’ beginner is harder than playing on two iPhones at once with one hand on extreme.

    You heard it here first.

  37. woow it looks very nice :3
    but hey, all the songs will be for sale only?
    there will not be a free catalog like in TTR2? pff that
    will be so sad :/

  38. Why can’t Herman drive with a tractor?
    Herman is a rock. :D

  39. wow..

    good thing i dont know anyone else on the beta list

  40. I want a TTR3 poster! That would be awesome.

  41. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PLAY THE ONLINE SONGS YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO WAIT TO DOWNLOAD WHEN IN OFFLINE MODE! PLUS PROVIDE A FREE CATOLOQUE AS WELL AS A STORE IF YOU ARE REALLY SET ON MAKING PEOPLE BUY SONGS. ANNNNND IF YOU BUY THE SONGS INCORPERATE SOME WAY TO GET INTO YOUR REAL MUSIC STOREAGE FOR OUTSIDE THE APP PLAY

  42. I think they’ll be a feature where the steen projects up like a hologram. That would be sick!

  43. I think they’ll be a feature where the screen projects up like a hologram. That would be sick!

    Tap Tap Revenge is not that great of a game…… XD

  45. There goes another couple hundred hours of my life.

  46. I have the best comment, FUNNY!!!!!! HAHAHAHA dbvwbvsvhbsuidnsvbsuinbvdnvnsdnbvidsbvdnsbindbvnidsnvdnvinsivunbsuivndsinbvdnsbvuidnsviusdnivuninsdivdbiv;bdsvnbidbvis;dnv;uisbvinsbvi;sbv;isbdvisdnvidbvnidnviusdnbviusnbv;isnbvuiosnvvsbvkdsnvnbs’snbnsjblnsnsnonbsnbvos’nonbv’sdnvos’dnbdonbs’nbsdnbosnbsnbsdnbsnbsnbs’nbosnbsnbosnbs’inb isnt it the best?!?! ANd crazy :D TTR3 WOOOOO!!!

  47. They swore me to secrecy as a beta tester, but the features in 3 are too good to stay quiet about. They can send their Krohn7master to tap-tap me to death if they must, but the people need to know the truth!

    Every minute you play TTR3, the game takes care of your responsibilities for you. It does the laundry, attends classes, and goes to all the annoying social functions you hate (you know, the ones where you try to sneak off to play TTR until they’re over but you keep getting caught). I don’t know how the game does all this for you — the programming is so complex I cannot decipher it — but I don’t care how it works, just that it does. I haven’t had to go to my boring job since starting on the TTR3 beta testing: I just play TTR3 all day and it takes care of my job for me.

    It may be the most obvious step toward Tapulous taking over the world so far, but I don’t care. They can have the world as long as I have Tap Tap Revenge.

    August 15th, 2009

    Hells to the yea! Finally a proven fact god does exists! Aahhhahahaha but for realz I’m really excited for the new taptap I’m sure no matter what crazy awesometapulous features it’s got, it will still rock my non existent socks of haha

  49. Hmm, what do I think will be in Tap Tap Revenge 3… Wow, well if I had to make a wild guess, I’d say that you’re adding more ways for you to shamelessly promote the music of big record companies.

  50. TAP TAP THREE!! SUMMER HAS GONE SO SLOW WITHOUT TTR3!!!!!! CANT FRICKIN WAIT TAPULOUS!!!!

    zboy88

  51. You are going to add the software to create tap tracks from our personal music libraries. Then we can offer the tracks for sale in your store. We can either get rich or earn credits to buy other peoples creations.

  52. In the meantime, keep up the good work! I loves taptap any version!

  53. Jedi Nerd

    I’m guessing
    Peer to peer gaming
    Itouch offline submissions
    Red button that half says more, half says restart
    More songs
    Create a song( using simple 3 note rythms)
    An in game clock/play timer
    Downloadable wallpapers
    More ways to get points
    Something to do with those points
    Gameplay recording function
    Whammy bar
    Just guessing.

  54. Aqua-mode so we can play in the shower!

    This is gonna be awesome…

  55. OMG Its gonna be filled with Miley cirus and Jonas brothers songs!!

    So not worth $50

  56. Trekluver
    August 15th, 2009

    Just leaked! The launch themed track is going to be the Barney theme song!!!! My favorite!!!!!!!!!!

  57. holy damb!!! TTR3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hope its going to be better than ttr2. it would def be my main focuz when it comes out!!!!

    Surely TTR3 will include the lovely album artwork of Krohn’s face? :(

  60. Well, tap tap revenge three will become a huge, space cat that devours the entire library on your ipod touch, then will turn into a cliff with miley cyrus on it and you have to yell “jump, jump, jump!” into the microphone. Then you must move to california to download the zulu version of tap tap revenge one. Then you must slam your iphone/itouch on the ground, lie down and try to beat all extreme levels with your nose ( using your nose like a finger) then you must send 1473$ to each creator of this amazing multifunctional app, and then ask them if they will sign the screen of your ipod nano in a pen made of ducks. Thats what my idea is… Or maybe it will have a secret code in which all songs are free… You never no *fades into distance waving hands in front of him* peace homies

  63. Sean Leonard (cyberguyiphone)
    August 16th, 2009

    TTR3 is going to be awesome!! Even I’m no longer a beta tester. But I think the number ONE (#1) new best feature will be a song made up of the Windows noises , beeps and startup sounds and the theme will be the blue screen of death ! With the tap balls themed as windows logos and skulls with cross bones and worms!!!!

    And a serious sidenote:…

    In TTR3 , you guys should put an info screen crediting the makers(Tapulous) of the App. Over a million people have the app, and they should know the (names) Of the gods and goddess who created the masterpiece!!!

  64. I hope u just have to buy some tracks but not the whole game

  65. numbdigits
    August 16th, 2009

    I want to see at least one themed extreme track that unlocks DXChain himself upon FC’ing it. Ideally, the TTR3 credits would scroll past, followed by a giant DXChain head floating by that can be pulled, prodded, and rotated on several axes – similar to the giant Mario head in Mario 64 DS. Pinching, swiping, and slapping it around enough will cause it to squeal “It’s meeee, DXChain.” Then I want to see a full bio scroll past, answering such questions as “Just who is this Mr. Chain”; where does he live? What are his musical influences? What are his favorite foods? Where does he live?”

    Then several remixed, extended versions of death metal-classical fusion songs become available for play.

    I’m dead serious about these features – no joking.

  66. numbdigits
    August 16th, 2009

    Forgot to add that DXChain also becomes a playable character after accomplishing the above. Im beta testing that feature right now, even though it hasn’t been coded yet.

  67. Bill Kurach
    August 16th, 2009

    I can’t wait till it comes out! You guys will be amazed. Trust me, I know. ;) Man, there’s a lot of fake stuff going around. The thing to know is: nothing is real unless it comes from the top (Tapulous).

  68. Trekluver
    August 16th, 2009

    @numbdigits

    The giant head is really the featured artist of the week and available after you rate the song with 1 star, just to releave some stress! Also did you know Tapulous was porting Mario 64 to the iPhone/ iPod Touch before they decided your idea was to good to refuse!

    And who is DXChain?

  69. Purplefridge
    August 17th, 2009

    Ttr3 = pwn^2.

    A great feature would be Omgwtfbbq mode, where the tappers are completely random and out of sync, and have left and right shakes – at once. It will show 3 rows, but there is actually a 4th – nobody knows where the hell it is, but it’s the reason why your top score is 0.01, and -2%.

  70. numbdigits
    August 17th, 2009

    @trekluver

    DXChain is the player who practically elevated the Tap Tap series to the level of professional sport by employing a noob-crushing combinaton of a special “grip” and superhuman tapping ability. He flushed the rest of us right down the toilet until a few (not me, really) were able to mutate so as to step up the tapping throughput and squeeze out a few competitive scores. Some of our scores would be squashed the moment they nudged into the top few places; with other scores he would hang back for short while and think of what do with them at his leisure. Might even hang them from a tree, out back somewhere, and poke and prod them while they twirled helplessly and pleaded for dear recognition. That, my friend, is the legend of DXChain. If you see him in these parts, I recommend that you run.

  71. I’d love to Beta test if I can. Um, I just downloaded the ON SALE TTColdplay last night so I am officially addicted. I think that there should be a feature where you can practice. Like you can make it slower so you can practice at a slower rate.

    Thanks.
    Will.

    August 17th, 2009

    Instead of 2 player mod would be a 4 player mod crazy XD
    Hmm… I think if you must pay money for the songs in the shop. It would’nt be so good. But it would be great if you can win points when you play games. And these points you can spend for new songs in shop.
    Hopefully this instead of paying with money ^^

  74. tottally agree Dodger123, if they want money
    the should keep realeasing premium apps once a while =)
    and keep TTR free!

  75. Omg ttr3 ttly needs to use 4 fingers instead of 3!!

    Well maybe TTR3 will only be $100 (o_O’),and you can download all the songs you want for another $5 then you’ll have to pay a fee every time you want to play the song you just downloaded,and not only that…the app will have 5 songs of your library that you can choose,well just for another $10,ooooh yes!!,while online playing you’ll have too choose the lite version for $.99 or the premium online version for $3…and every time you lose a game,,you’ll have to pay $.50
    but if you win,just $.25 to continue playing,,also in 2 players mode you and your friend have to pay $2 ,YEEES!! just $1 per person!! (sooo cheap!)…and you don’t have to worry for the money!,the american express credit card will be charged automatically and the,credit will increase for every $100 dollars you spend on TTR3!,,,that’s cool because when you get to jail for not paying the card!( =P ) you can continue playing the game and increase not only your 10 years in it! you can increase the fee for getting out!!…yeah!! TTR3 will be AWESOMEEE!,you and your friends in jail will love it! ,maybe your family hate you for spending all the money but…WHO CARES! it’s worth it!,i mean why to spend the money in clothing,house,cars,jewelry,college,and other stuff when you can spend it on TTR3,(it’ll be an invest!!)…there’s no way TTR2 beat this new version!!…

  78. holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!This is going to be %$@#ing sweet. Cant wait!!!!!!!! I LOVE TAP TAP REVENGE. I IT WAS AN ACTUAL CHICK, IT WOULD BE THE HOTTEST ONE EVER. I WOULD GET IT DRUNK, TAKE IT UP TOM MY BEDROOM AND $%#& IT ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!!!!!WWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  79. jk. ignore the above comment. Instead if you reach a 500 note streak, you would get an award called NO LIFE, just like in the video. Only a bunch of chimpanzees with a beaver’s tooth and tail, would start singing Still Alive by GLaDos, while wearing Speedos and start smashing random cheese covered instruments that begin with the letter B. Then a Communist Russian band led by Stalin would pop out of some graves, take out some AK-47s and kill the chimpanzees. Random Colured music notes would pour out from their lifeless bodys instead of blood. The Russians would then dance around for a little bit, then point their guns at you, shoot and the screen would then be covered in colourful music notes. then your ipod will restart and yo will be locked out for ever.lol

  80. I think that when you boot up tap tap revenge 3, once the game starts, you get into sucked into a world of tap tap craziness as you try to hit crazily designed tappers trying to attack you and you shake to get those crazy taps off you! And this is all for one song. Don’t even get me started on the store :P

  81. TTR3 will has pie ;D!

    YAY PIE <3

    To everyone else, I bet that they will sideways rails like the GaGa boss tracks! I just hope that this store has a regular re-stock of fresh (new and classic/old) music for my Tap Tap forte!

    how about sliding taps? more mainstream hip hop? 4 tap zones? more backgrounds? online head to head? points store? user created tournaments? offline score caches? make revenge mode inverted colors like ttr? interchangeable colors for taps? tap tap mini hames/ challenges? tap and pass? team battles? million point reached= some crazy theme? tap tap title sequence?
    well i think im out of ideas…

    I heard TTR 3 will introduce the much awaited 11th column. It will involve some special nose-taps and will require the use of your toes.

    I also heard that there will be a hyper mode after extreme mode that only the pros can use with their super-speed fingers. And to make hyper mode even harder I heard that the tapulous will make use of the microphone and you can sing along to the song for bonus points or in the case of boss tracks it will listen out for clicking, whistling and humming noises from your mouth and stamping noises from your feet.

    If you manage to get a 100% score in this mode, the phone will self-destruct, launching the built in confetti popper. Within 5 seconds the Tapulous team will beam you up to their spaceship where they will offer you to their alien overlords.

    I also heard that Tapulous will be offering a special plug that interfaces directly with your brain. When you connect your iPhone through the dock connector into this plug, your brain acts as a control so that you only need to look at the sphere and nod your head to tap. Although this feature may only be implemented in NodNod Revenge until version 3.5 is released.

    I also forgot to mention the blindfold mode. Rather than an actual blindfold, the iPhone screen goes blank and you have to tap to the beat rather than to what you see. You never know where the taps are and get points for how close you are to the sphere.

  87. Tap Tap Revenge? 3? Autographed? That must be one of the greatest revelations of our time! It’s as if a magical hand of Jesus came down to Earth and said
    “I grant you the power of Tap!”, except all of us had no idea what he was talking about because our idea of Tap Tap Revenge 3 was us rocking out with a whammy bar and singing into our iPhones and iPod Touches with built in microphones.
    When Tap Tap Revenge 3 was released, however, it turned out that one lucky person had the honor of winning an autographed copy of the game and having their Tap Tap name go down on the online boards as a “Tap Tap Superstar”.
    All in all, it seems that people love Tap Tap Revenge, and whether the series of applications, whether a gift from the Big Man himself or not, somehow became better than they already were, people became true masters of tapping an inatimate object with their thumbs and proudly declaring,
    “I AM THE KING OF TAP TAP REVENGE! I DARE YOU TO DEFEAT ME!”

    Love you guys at Tapulous! KaiSteelSmith

    Nah forget about my previous comment. It should have virtual drum sets to hit when the taps fall. It shoudl also have guitars to strum whenever the taps fall onto anyplace of the guitar.

    An autographed 2nd gen ipod touch preloaded with TTR3 and all the songs would be super sweet. Or, as a joke, send the winner a promo code for “Tap Star” – a lame copy of the TTR games.

  91. numbdigits
    August 19th, 2009

    Sorry, I was thinking more of Beatrider and not Tapstar.

  92. I bet you all half a canadian penny they will have 3 player tap tap in addition to 1 & 2 player,

    There should be a band mode, kind of like rock band and guitar hero and stuff, with 4 tap spot things, and free song giveaways

    You guys should make a Rap Rap Revenge, with a mic, and a turntable for even more fun.

    Tap Tap til you Nap Nap you piece of Crap Crap

    :D

  93. I love that video Beacheagle made :P But it’s nothing like the real deal

  94. oh wow a TTR3. Can TTR2 even be upgraded? i think it would be awesome if during game play the way the screen is formatted changes! Like if your in portrait mode then during the game at any given moment you have to rotate your ipod landscape mode (doesnt matter which side) and then maybe back again. OR you can conpletely rotate the ipod 180 degrees if needed. that would be awesome!

  95. Will taylor
    August 20th, 2009

    I think there should be a slider note, so you have to slide from one button to another. That will be great and would work well with guitars and dance music

  96. Why not landscape mode and a editor where we can make game with our song? Maybe more gestures, to have a better game experience. Oh, a 3D experience in the game (it’s good to use our imagination).

    But, what’s sure, it’s that Tap Tap Revenge 3 will be excellant, like Tap Tap Revenge 1 and 2.

  97. Elliot Muir
    August 20th, 2009

    Can’t wait! I think in-game purchase will come into the game with premium songs on the way. I see a ‘retry’ button. Yay! Possible Tap Tap Creater (to edit or create songs). Also, I think you will make a new Tap Tap Original song with all of the staff in the background as a theme!

  98. Let’s see, I think that TTR3 is going to be like the coolest game! TTR2 is cool too, but you know with the leveling up mode, I think that you should be able to spend your points on getting like special songs. Then I am going to guess that there will be a whammy bar where you can’t miss the left or right arrows! That always screws me up! How else am I to play riding my Harley? What??? No one has tried it? Its fun! LOL
    Ok, I am gone!

  99. I think that TTR3 will be awesome. I hope there will be a feature where you get dizzy off of the backgrond. Puke. Gag raflax. Puke again (0_0). Emoticons rock. TTR3 Rox ( With an x) ^.^ ( emoticons, what did I say). Should have a lot of more popular songs like from the top 100. Weeeee, TTR3 will rock out loud. (period).

  100. YES TTR 3 Speculation is the best conversation to be having so near September!

    Maybe we will have User Profiles now in and outside chat room so we can know a little bit about who we’re talking to and not have to ask “asl?!” ;-)

  101. WHAT? PAID CONTENT? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!1!!1!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!1!11!1!!!!!

    Why, Tapulous, why? Please tell me they’ll at least be free for the first week of their release, like they are now?

    But as far as features go, I’d be shocked if there wasn’t a way to import your own songs, and then maybe the app would automatically use the song’s artwork to create its own theme! You could either have the game generate the orbs to tap or you could choose to manually put them in, for more accuracy. I would be upset if that wasn’t included, now that the songs are all paid.

    What’s all this crazy talk about Chuck Norris and Exploding iPhones and Holographic Dancing Gorillas? I think you guys are confusing TTR3 with the random pics people post on Twinkle..

    The new major feature in TTR3 is a sidegame called Tap Tap RPG. It seems pretty obvious with the whole “Experience Points” thing we got going on in the official screenshot above. You can deny it all you want Tapulous, but I have several inside sources that have already confirmed this like eight times. I have all the information on this new Tap Tap innovation including the critical storyline elements, main characters, areas, and sidequests. And of course, I’d be more than willing to talk about this new sidegame! Don’t worry, I promise I won’t spoil any of the plot-twists.

    In TTRPG you begin your epic quest face down in the barren Great Tappin’ Desert. You awaken to find that all of your possessions are gone. You have no iPod, no coins, and no Tapulous Points. You begin to wander around in search of help but find nothing for hours. After roughly three hours of walking, you come across a cave. You cautiously walk inside the cave and notice two fires burning furiously in the center of the room. Between the sets of fire you see an old man, and he mutters the following words to you: “It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this.”

    The old man points to a first generation iPod Touch lying in the middle of the room. Slightly confused and curious, you take the iPod that was offered to you and hold it high, thankful that you could come across such a thoughtful man in the middle of nowhere. You leave the cave and examine the iPod. The batteries are dead. Slightly saddened you continue to move on. Not far beyond the cave you see a road. You begin to slowly step toward the road, and in the Middle Of The Road you find a scroll. The words on the scroll are written in an incomprehensible language. Suddenly, the scroll begins glowing in your hands. Your iPod Touch 1G turns on and a screen comes up that says: “Tap Tap: The Revenge of Chain”. You stare at the screen in puzzlement when suddenly a car pulls over. A dark, mysterious, hooded figure walks out of the car. You notice the initials “D.X.” embroidered on his cloak. He walks up to you and says “Would you like a ride to town?”. You reluctantly accept his offer and your adventure begins…

    That’s pretty much how the story starts off, but there are a ton of other features in the game. In the main town, PaloAltoville, there are a lot of places to go and things to do. There’s the Tapulous Lounge where you can rest and recover your HP and MP. There’s the training center, Power Tap, where you can train to level up your Attack and Defense skills. There’s also a Tapulous Store where you can buy iPod upgrades and other items with “Tapulous Coins”, which you earn in TTR3; 1 for every 1,000 points you get on a song.

    I don’t exactly want to mention too much regarding the sidequests and story as I really don’t want to spoil any of the game. I guess I could mention the sidequest where you go to the Abyss of Dropped Taps in search for the Golden Retry Button, but even that’s kind of spoiling the game… TTRPG is really one of my all-time favorite RPGs to date, I’d even rate it higher than Earthbound which used to be my favorite. The way to story progresses is absolutely brilliant, I applaud you Tapulous for making such a remarkable game! I can’t wait until the public gets the opportunity to play this masterpiece.

    Wow, I am so excited. I think that we would have to use the points we’ve accumulated to buy stuff in TapTap Revenge 3. I hope I do get the autograph… :)

  108. omg!!! ttr3 is coming!!!!!!!!! i am hopeing hat it will have taptap rooms were you can add friends as you talk to them, and im guessing that it will acually be in another universe and we will ahve to travel through cyber space to get to this sacred place of ttr3!! jk, but seriously, if that happens, that would be awseome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and is it going 2 b FREE?? if not then i will cry for twelve years!!! acually ill only prob cry for 2 seconds, but wht eva

    @MajorasMask

    I thought my random thing was the longest but you took the cake and ate it. I really hope it is true though XD.

  111. I think that tap tap revenge 3 is just a big spoof that everyones getting their hopes up for and it probably going to get pushed out of the way for a twilight rpg just like Harry potter 6 was pushed to July from December. But then is going to end up being a house of the dead rythmical rail shooter. I mean tap tap domination. He obviously dominated the level with 87%. But instead of zombies it will have little circles that do the rythm of the song.

    Or… It could end up being just the fix for the lagging on ttr2. It would be awesome either way. But tapulous has made us wait too long for just an ordinary rythm game. I would be surprised if it ended up being a historical game called… The history of tapping and you have to learn the art of tapping all over again. Maybe it will en up being based on one of those dubbed anime shows where there mouths don’t match there words. And it would be called… “the Crouching tapper hidden rythm”. And it will be released in japan first then they’ll realease it in U.S. And it will have dubbed cutscenes and be on of those cheasey platformers. With wicked corny voice acting.

    But then again it could just be ttr2 with the 2 crossed out with a three on top and have the lagging fixed with a store that has one song one it called “banana pancakes” by Jack Johnson. Then people would just be happy to have tap tap revenge “3″.

    Uh oh I think i just spilled the beans about all the new tap taps that are coming out…

    Slipknot tap tap= house of the tapping: rythMical shooter

    Tap tap revenge abridged and dubbed = crouching tapper hidden rythm

  112. Hm, one thing I’d like to see, is when you get challenged, that you could see what mode they’re challenging on.

    More often than not I get challenged on easy or medium and that’s pretty annoying xDD

    I don’t play on any mode other than extreme so I’d like to be able to have challenges on extreme =D

  113. I’m wondering how Tapulous goes about acquiring the music for this game. Do they pay the labels royalty or is it just strictly in return for promotion? Just curious.

    OMG!!!! TTR 3 Will be the best game on the app store, itll have wammy bars, 4 tappers, Landscape mode, custom themes, New interface, Facebook and Twitter connectivity, More Songs, Better have the defult songs :( …..!!!!!!!! ITLL BE SOOOOOOOO AWSOME!!!!!!!!! keep up the super work you do in your labratory!!! Can’t wait, ill give it 5 stars just for releasing into the app store :) can’t wait!!!

  115. TTR3 should be categorised as a religion.

    I basically worship TTR3 more than i do to Jesus or Budha or Hindu .. no joke.

    TTR3 is like a god to me.

    Praise Tap Tap Revenge 3.

    Shinigamiboi-I think this is about right…

    Tapulous: “All notes shall we tap”
    Tapulous: “Not missing a single one at all”
    Tapulous: “At the stroke of 50 shall we all shake”
    All: “Shake to revenge”
    Tapulous: “Shall our hands never cramp and our notes never drop”
    All: “Shake to revenge”
    Tapulous: “We thank you all for coming today and wish you a happy return to Heretics and Killers and ww wish you TapTap’s speed”

    “Create a Taper”

  121. I think there will be a choice of songs in the charts, but then it has to track your location so it knows what place (like UK Charts) the charts are from, so you can play along to popular songs.

  122. And celebrating the release, make a Tap Tap Paramore!

  123. Tap Tap? Who’s there? Tap Tap Revenge 3!!!!! OMG REALLY!!???? I WANT IT!!!
    Ok I don’t know what to say that’s the “weirdest comment” I made you a poem !!

    Tap Tap is better than socks
    because you can’t wear Tap Tap on your feet
    and if you could,
    then it wouldn’t be good,
    because who wants a sweaty iPod?
    Tap Tap is better than milk
    because you can’t drink Tap Tap
    and if you could,
    then it wouldn’t be good,
    because who wants a drenched iPod?
    Tap Tap is better than pie
    because you can’t eat Tap Tap
    and if you could,
    then it wouldn’t be good,
    because nobody wants to be constipated
    THANK YOU GOODNIGHT

  124. Here’s another!!

    Tap Tap is better than toe nail clippings
    because you can’t clip your iPod
    and if you could,
    it wouldn’t be good,
    because nobody wants a splinter
    xD
    Tap Tap is better than sneezing
    because you can’t sneeze out your iPod
    and if you could,
    it wouldn’t be good,
    because nobody wants a snotty iPod
    Tap Tap is better than cable
    because you get entertained
    and that means a lot
    and you all out there should be proud of the Tapulous team
    because they’re completely AWESOME
    and all they’ve done,
    they’ve done what I’ve dreamped of doing
    my whole life
    making graphics
    was my dream
    and still is
    and one day, I hope I can create my own game
    but it would NEVER be as good as Tap Tap

    I like Tap Tap
    it smells like cheese
    Do you like cheese?
    WELL SHUT UP!!
    CHEESE IS GOOD
    AND SO IS TAP TAP
    I like Tap Tap
    it tastes like corn muffins
    and corn muffins are good
    so SHUT UP
    Want a corn muffin?
    Here *gives*
    HAHA I FAKED
    *punches*
    BOO HOO DON’T CRY!!!
    Wait I was the one that said Boo Hoo!
    OH NO
    I CRIED
    NOW I GOTTA PUNCH MYSELF
    *punches self*
    Tap Tap is awesome
    but only because it looks like my dog
    and my dog is cute
    so Tap Tap is too
    My ear is ringing
    “Hello?”
    “OMG SHUT UP”
    “I KNOW I LOVE TAP TAP TOO!”
    “YEAH!!”
    I like Tap Tap
    It reminds me of caulliflower
    and coconut ladybugs
    Mmmm
    Wait who likes caulliflower?
    I don’t
    Does it mean I don’t like Tap Tap?
    *gasp*
    ….
    ….
    NAW I’M JUST KIDDIN!
    I LOVE TAP TAP!
    AND CAULIFLOWER!
    Well bye Santa
    Merry Hannuka
    Bye

  126. Another!!!???
    Tap Tap is better than bread
    because Tap Tap never rots
    It gets new songs
    but bread doesn’t
    bread gets new smells
    and totally new color!
    But Tap Tap doesn’t smell
    unless you wiped manure on it
    that’s nasty
    Tap Tap gets new colors
    and themes
    but the lonely old bread slowly loses taste
    and dies
    and then you end up eating it
    because you’re stupid
    but Tap Tap helps your stupidity
    no not really
    so then you choke and die
    all because of rotten bread
    Idiot.
    Stupid.
    Moron.
    Thanks for killing yourself
    Tap Tap never did anything bad
    the bread did.
    The bread is evil.
    It uses its bread-like-powers
    and calls out, “Eat me”
    You are selfish
    all because of bread
    STUPID

    August 30th, 2009

    I think that they are going to have a few things:
    1-the ability to use tapulous points to create songs for ttr3 using songs from your music library
    2-import tracks from premium, classic, and ttr2.
    3-an all new restart button!
    4-wipe everyones online rank so that everyone can start fresh
