RB has *snicker* competition from Konami!

[screwtop]

I couldn't even get that title written without laughing. Konami announced Rock Revolution today, to the excitement of...nobody. Both Joystiq and Giant Bomb reported that the game will feature the standard guitar/bass/drums, but no vocals! The drum kit is some 6-pad + bass pedal monstrocity. No word on the guitars yet (Konami was demoing with the Les Paul).

As for the soundtrack, there will be around 40 songs on the disk, with DLC planned. The songs include:

Blitzkrieg Bop
Magic Man
Round and Round
Sk8er Boi
Walk
We’re Not Gonna Take It
Run to the Hills
*** On Feel The Noize
All the Small Things
Spoonman
Still of the Night
Dr. Feelgood

That's right, you too can completely skip over the Avril Lavigne track alongside 2 of your friends en route to playing Spoonman!

This does beg the question to HMX: Where's the love for Pantera? RE. SPECT. Walk. Whaddya say!?


Seriously...Avril Lavigne? I'd have preferred a Five for Fighting Song. Or maybe Six Pence None The Richer. Or a kick to the junk.

Yeah, I just saw this too.

Hrmmm... I sure hope this does not start a wild exclusivity war.

I'd like a Snickers.

i saw the trailer for this, it looks so horrible, although Motley Crue, Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister, Heart, Ratt and Whitesnake are awsome bands that need to be in Rock Band(I know Motley Crue is already in), this game is just a big ripoff and will sell nothing

[ForgottenHero]

Could care less about the game, but those songs! Walk, We're Not Gonna Take It, and best of all, Dr. Feelgood!? We need these songs!

[screwtop]

I'd like a Snickers.

See, the key is that Snickers always satisfies. That's why it's so good.

Awesome! Not only do I love competition, but Konami is known for making great games. How can you think this is going to suck? It's coming from the company that brought you Dance Dance Revolution, the Guitar Freaks, Drum Mania, Keyboard Mania, BeatMania and Metal Gear Solid.

Looks like a rip-off of BOTH GH and RB.

Ohhh! I got FIVE HEARTS!

[Valerian]

I am affraid it's a bit too late for Konami to joint the party... Especially if all the instruments are incompatible... How many drum set and plastic guitars are those guys expecting us to have in our home?
