Covak Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Look out Rock Band and Guitar Hero? http://uk.media.xbox360.ign.com/media/142/14254449/vids_1.html Err... http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f95/jarosh-gaf/rockrevo.jpg It sounds like a complete bomb to me, but if they're going for controller compatibility maybe we'll at least get well-built controller alternatives out of it...

dogbert Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Here's a direct link to the hands-on from IGN. It's by Kuju's "casual" studio called Zoe Mode, probably most famous for "Dancing With the Stars" etc... It's a strange piece of jumping on the bandwagon from Konami considering their Bemani/Guitar Freaks history. The biggest issue here though is the lack of individuality we're feeling from Rock Revolution. If it's really going to be worth it to buy a new drum set (and perhaps a few guitars, if you don't already have some GH3 axes to rock with), the game better offer something that no other competitor does, and it can't just be two added buttons. More difficulty is great, but we'd take the Rock Band note layout over Rock Revolution's current offering any day of the week. More notes or not, it just isn't as fun; at least not yet.

Covak Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 40 licensed tracks. All covers. There'll be some sort of DLC. And so much for good controller alternatives... http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/05/15/konamis-music-games-come-full-circle-with-band-centric-rock-revolution/ Wowzers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Well,if those are covers,then at least they are good sounding covers. Whitesnake's "Still Of The Night" pretty much sounds spot on. It doesn't mean that the game is gonna be good though. Judge for yourself... http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/15/konami-jumps-on-the-band-wagon-with-rock-revolution/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
