sephfire Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 http://www.usatoday.com/tech/gaming/2007-04-01-rock-band_N.htm In short, Harmonix, EA and MTV are teaming up to bring us the successor to Guitar Hero: a full band variant featuring not only guitar and bass, but singer and drummer. With original artists instead of cover bands. And internet multiplayer support. This is the most important thing that has ever happened.

watkinzez Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 This is why I said it was good that Harmonix shed itself of the Guitar Hero licence- give them the freedom to make the next step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CE Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 It's real, they've been working on it for a while. Also OLD Seriously people, if it gets here after Kotaku has it, it's old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Well, it's not that farfetched. And it's about time they let you sing to the tunes you're playing, because let's admit it, we all do it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super-Duper Sombrero Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I fear for the song selection. Agreed, but I'll still probably get it anyway... Singing? Gansgsta rap hero, anyone...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicPoster Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 oh man i wonder how they will ever do it maybe they will put all the different intraments as differerent tracks or something and then you can like do so much of one track and then move on to the next track...you'd have to like play all tracks and then all the songs would be by the original artists and stuff and then you could like even remix the songs wouldnt that be a sweet game oh wait they did that before its called amplitude you bitches should play it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sephfire Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 You realize what this means: official OCR Rock Bands. We've even got pixie for killer vocals. It's too perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soma Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Sounds really expensive. Guitar hero is awesome but 90 bucks is kind of pushing it. I was hoping GH for wii will be less expensive because i'm hoping the wiimote plugs into some kind of empty guitar shell. So how are they going to package this game? 3 different skus?

ILLiterate Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 The obvious problem would be the drum set. The only good drumset game I can remember was DrumMania, and the set up was pretty big. Also the game is heavily missing keyboards. Damn, I really never liked this game, I'm such a Bemani loyalist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifirit Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 This is a very interesting concept, i.e. "greatest thing ever," and provided that Harmonix can fine tune it, I'd definitely pick it up. Next thing we'd need are "Rock Band" battles. Band against band; brother vs. brother; rock apocalyse the likes of which karoke bars or high school auditoriums have never seen before. Ok, I'm getting carried away, but it's still a cool idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike911 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Geez, if EA has its grimey omnipotent hands on the track list the game is doomed... *nightmares of EA Trax from the past* Harmonix needs to be in charge, seriously. They've done well with picking songs in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've done well with picking songs in the past. It sounds like Harmonix is the main creative force here. EA and MTV are just opening up some new possibilities Harmonix couldn't access before (and I imagine EA will be publishing the game as well). I may be wrong, but I'm not too worried about it.

Antipode Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 The price of this game is going to be ridiculous with all the peripherals... Also, though that article only said PS3 and 360, IGN says that the harmonix ceo writes it will "absolutely be on wii".

Guy In Rubber Suit Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 This is exactly what I was wishing for future Guitar Hero installments. I enjoyed the GH games but for some reason, despite how awesome they were, always felt like they were lacking something. This game sounds like it's going to be the answer for everything. So what bands do you hope they get? I hope for more Megadeth (Holy Wars and Tornado of Souls please!), old Metallica (Orion or Fight Fire With Fire would be sweet), Slayer (Raining Blood!), more Pantera, more Jimi Hendrix, some AC/DC, and if they can some Death but I doubt that.
