More rhythm games.... - Rock Revolution & Ultimate Band.

Well, we know about "Rock Revolution by Konami.


Read the Wikipedia article.

Rock Revolution is an upcoming music video game developed by Zoë Mode and HB Studios for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS and Wii. The game will be published by Konami. It was first revealed on May 15, 2008.[1] It is similar to games such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band, as the player plays along with music on specialized controllers directed by on-screen instructions. The controller will be a Guitar and Drum set peripheral on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, while the Wii version will use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk for "an air-drum and air-guitar experience."[1] The DS version will utilize gestures performed on the touch screen, and will also support vocals using the system's internal microphone.

Like the upcoming Guitar Hero World Tour, the game will also include a mode in which players can create their own tracks, along with a free form mode that lets players experiment with their musical instrument of choice.

Rock Revolution is unrelated to Konami's other guitar and drum simulation games, DrumMania and Guitar Freaks, which have been popular in Japan as well as in North America through importing.

Yes, I know this is a repeat but let's discuss.

and NOW another one. Exclusively only for the DS and the Wii... "Ultimate Band"

Read the wikipedia article here.

Ultimate Band allows players to play guitar, drums, bass or be the front man in a band (though vocals are not supported).[1] The Wii version follows the fortunes of an upstart rock band, with the player building the career of their customizable character, unlocking bonus songs, venues and accessories.[2]

Unlike other music games, Ultimate Band forgoes the use of specialized peripherals such as guitar and drum controllers, relying mainly on the Wii Remote and Nunchuk for the Wii version, and the touch screen and stylus for the DS version. For example, to play notes on guitar in the Wii version the player must press a button combination on the Nunchuk while strumming the Wii Remote up and down.[1] The DS version will also allow players to create and record their own songs,[2] and have greater song customization options.[1]

Ultimate Band features support for Disney Interactive's DGamer community network.[3]

Looks like everyone is trying to get into the music game business. With Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero World Tour coming out, do we really need these two other games?

Now, Discuss!!!!!!!

Before this kicks off,

Konami, who's making RR made Guitar Freaks and Drum mania, so they where there FIRST before Guitar Hero

[crazy.neo]

They suck. GH and RB already take a head start, and there's nothing they can do about it.

@Marvin: Completely different games and gameplay, only same genre.

If you look at the bottom of the first post he said that they where trying to jump on the band wagon when Konami drive the band wagon :p

[crazy.neo]

That's the thing, I don't think they do. I think that the differences between games are so vast, it makes for a completely different experience. Guitar Freaks always felt like DDR with left/right to me, and I never saw it as a real guitar "simulator" as I see GH/RB.

But yes, Konami drove the band wagon first, in what concerns rythm games, and have much more experience.

[MarvinPA]

I still think Rock Revolution looks good.

[MasteromaN]

Nope, this one looks good !

Dammit! It's the rise of the Rock Simulators! Too many games to choose. But I heard that you can use the wiimote and the nunchuck for that 'air guitar feel' on Rock Revolution. That's gonna sell out in the piracy market!

"I heard that"

I hear lots of things

I heard Rock Band 2 will have 3 free blowjobs out of the box

[KORE]

ok, Konami built the bandwagon

but then they got booted off by harmonix
and then harmonix hopped in a sidecar and gave neversoft it's old one, and neversoft proceeded to renovate it and give it a killer engine with flaming tailpipes

because GH will always be better quality than RB.
ALWAYS.

Konami needs to stop trying to hop back on their old rickety wagon, or they're going to get run over

[vedicardi]

because GH will always be better quality than RB.
ALWAYS.

In your opinion

Have fun with that

You know, since apparently having an awesome engine means having horrible graphics and idiotically large ho/po windows and charts made by scorehero retards

[omfgdrphl]

And really bad animations from a very small pool of animations.

You wouldn't believe how many midgets they can fit in those Rock Band boxes.
