Dhani Harrison, who was one of the driving factors behind getting the Beatles: Rock Band made, is apparently now a consultant for Harmonix and MTV Games. He’s on tour with his band, thenewno2, and opening for Wolfmother, but he had a chance to interview with the Chicago Tribune, and this is what he had to say:
“I’m working on ‘Rock Band 3′ and making the controllers more real so people can actually learn how to play music while playing the game… Give me a couple years, it’s going to happen.”
The Boston Herald also managed to get some minor info out of Dhani regarding Rock Band 3:
Now Harrison is working on “Rock Band 3” to make it even more realistic. His goal: to get the game to actually teach people to play music, not just to pantomime in rhythm.
I assumed there would be some sort of progression in terms of gameplay from Rock Band 2 to Rock Band 3, but new, realistic peripherals that will actually allow you to learn how to play real music is a pretty significant jump in gameplay!

Music-Infused 0D Beat Drop to Hit Next Week
Posted by nestlekwik - Thu 11/05 2009 - 03:05 PM - 151 Views |

We're receiving word about yet another downloadable game title for the Xbox LIVE Arcade format that is looking to fuse music and puzzle elements together, but for Aksys's 0D Beat Drop, developed in Japan by Arc System Works, players will only have to wait until next week to get their hands on the downloadable.
0D Beat Drop joins the classic falling block pattern puzzle genre, however, the gameplay has elements of rhythmic timing to it. Fans of Puyo Puyo should feel at home with the general gameplay, but the BPM mechanic switches the mechanics up a bit. ... |

Konami trying jubeat again in the US?
Posted by eddie - Wed 11/04 2009 - 11:26 PM - 891 Views |
|
Konami is apparently holding another run of secret location tests here in the US. Today I caught wind that they're testing a modified version of jubeat ripples in the US under the name jukebeat. I was told that the machine was recently at Sherman Oaks Castle Park in California with absolutely no announcement. Its unknown if the machine is still there or has been relocated yet. Apparently the reason for these hidden location tests is because Konami feels that when the community all shows up for them, it's a misrepresentation of how well the game will actually do. Hence the ... |

|
Alpha Station and am-net have both dropped details on the latest jubeat incarnation.
The name, jubeat ripples APPEND, appears to suggest that this will be more of an upgrade than a brand new game, but it seems there will be enough content in ripples APPEND to have any jubeat fan counting the days to its release.
In all, ripples APPEND promises to boast a songlist of over 130 songs, including over 20 new songs to the series. Not surprisingly, those 20 new songs will include some popular licensed music tracks, but IIDX ... Source: http://am-net.xtr.jp/game/profile.cgi?_v=1257328698 |
