Harmonix Considering Led Zeppelin: Rock Band

Harmonix, makers of the famed Rock Band series, are primed and ready to unleash Green Day: Rock Band, their second band-specific game, following The Beatles: Rock Band of last year, in just a few weeks on June 8. However, if some is good, more seems to be better as the game-maker has posted a survey today in hopes of gauging interest in the next big thing.
The survey is short and sweet; only two questions long.
The first asks, “would you be likely to buy a dedicated Rock band video game by ANY of the following artists, knowing the game would contain music ONLY by the specific artist?
The options are:
Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Queen, U2 and Led Zeppelin.
The next question asks, “which artist would you like like to see in a dedicated Rock Band video game,” where you can select up to three of the above options.

only if royalties go to all the musicians zeppelin stole from.

silkrevolver5852d ago

some of the stolen stuff disappoints me... but there weren’t that many stolen songs... some of the allegedly stolen are really more of a stretch than anything.... and some of them were popular folk lyrics that everyone uses. So songs like Dazed and Confused make me sad, but for the most part... Zeppelin rocks....

eagles19905852d ago (Edited 5852d ago )

They didn't steal dazed and confused. Jake Holmes' version is completely different. Whole lotta love on the other hand.....

Led Zeppelin changed EVERYTHING....Having said that, that was in 1968 thru 1979...kids today never heard of them...other than mom, dad, grandpa and grandma telling them how great they were.....I would be surprised if they went for it...They don't use the original music...it has to be re-recorded by studio musicians....their Lie's the problem....BTW...Zeppelin KICKS ASS...Every musician knows that...geezzz...Who remembers the immigrant song...

hamoor5852d ago

yesssss thats what am talking about
More real rock and leqve the crappy teens rock to guitar hero
ROCK BAND ALL THE WAY
Cant wait to play stairway to heaven :)

Smacktard5852d ago

Oh man. If they made a Led Zeppelin Rock Band game, it would be the first RB game I'd buy =U

NastyLeftHook5852d ago

this may be interesting, we will have to see when this comes out. but they must have the best led zeppelin songs if its going to touch my ps3.

PirateThom5852d ago

Wait... wait... wait...

Wasn't there something about Harmonix LOSING Led Zeppelin masters when making Guitar Hero and the band refusing to allow them access to any of their material... and, basically, scrapping music games entirely?

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

badz14974d ago

cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

isarai_lee86d ago

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6

lodossrage120d ago (Edited 120d ago )

Wait,

The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.

NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.

thorstein120d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator120d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow1120d ago

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
