I thought I saw a thread like this before but couldn't find it. Wanted to share a new idea I had and see if anyone else had good ideas as well. Post 'em here!
My idea:
You remember that game "Bust a Groove"? It was a dancing game, before DDR ever came out, in, like, 1998 or something, around the time of Parappa the Rapper. Controls just like DDR, but there was no dance pad. You just used the controller.
Anyways, when the song began, they just did a normal rocking back and forth. As you got higher combos, their dance moves became more and more complex, until they were really jammin! But, if you made a mistake, they just went back to the left-right shuffling.
I want to use this idea in Rock Band! Your button presses should have an affect on the animations, I think. This is too complex of a project to be put in a patch for Rock Band 1, though...
Basically, as your multiplier gets higher, your character starts rocking out harder and harder. Drummer starts bouncing more, guitarist starts walking around, singer starts dancing around...
If you make a mistake, the guitarist will stop dancing around, get a focused look on his face, and just stare at the guitar strings until you get your multiplier back up. Drummer might look confused and miss a few notes before slowly getting back on-beat. Singer would stand still and hold the mic close as he/she looks down.
So, yeah, I hope that HMX takes this under advisement. It's something that I wish they put into DDR and Guitar Hero, and it's fun to see that kind of interaction between how you well you play and how the character performs on-stage.
Anyone else, post your opinions about my idea, or post your own idea!
