" rip-off of rock band"

arent they the same makers?

Siesser6576d ago (Edited 6576d ago )

Harmonix and Red Octane put out Guitar Heroes 1 and 2 together. They've since split ways, with Red Octane partnering with Activision, and Harmonix with MTV Games, whom they've been with before through the MTV Music Generator games.

And as for all of the copying claims, don't forget that neither of these two games was the first to do what they do; that honor lies with Konami and the Beatmania series: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

"Konami has not produced an American version of DrumMania, since MTV Games holds the US patent for "drum simulation games", which MTV took full advantage of with the release of Rock Band." Does that mean GH will be paying some kind of concept royalty to EA/RB?

From someone that have Rock Band, I have to say, that drum set look a lot better than the Rock Band Drum set.
But don't they have to change the name of this game now, because it an entire band now, and not just the guitars

You cant play drums on 3 or 4 pads next to each other, its stupid, if you want to play the song/drums correctly you need at least a proper electric kit, but then again if your up for a bit of fun or a laugh, i gets its perfect, but if your hoping to learn the drums from this or rock band, forget it. Its a game at the end of the day, not an instrument.

BeaArthur6577d ago

Yeah if they are going to add an intrument add a base or something.

MyNutsYourChin6577d ago

"directly copy"?

What do you mean? Rock Band's drums don't have "cymbols" or 6 elements.

Top 10 Celebrities Making Appearances Video Games

Unreality Mag writes: "It’s always fun to see something out of the ordinary when you’re playing a video game. Most times it comes in the forms of funny songs or a game glitch you didn’t expect. And sometimes the game will toss in a celebrity which might throw you off (meaning a good thing).

But here I wanted to focus on celebrities who appeared in games that weren’t so obvious. Games that didn’t really have a celebrity focus yet a celebrity appeared in that seemed almost random.

Here are 10 that I enjoyed the most."
