With Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour competing for shelf space, who will come out on top? Many believe World Tour to be superior, due to its music creation mode. What does Rock Band 2’s lead designer have to say on this?””We’ve dabbled around with stuff like that before, with Frequency and Amplitude, and we learned a lot of lessons from it,”” he said. More inside “”The main one is that you can’t do it half-arsed. If you want to do a way to let players create and distribute music, you have to go all-in – not just do it as a bullet on the back of a box.”” Claims Dan Teasdale. “”We actually want to find a way to for people to create music and express themselves, but when we do we want to make sure that people can sing, or the songs can be longer than three minutes, or that you can have more than 1200 notes, or that you’re not tied to some dodgy sample somewhere. We want to make sure it’s an authentic experience and it fits on the platform.””
So Rock Band plans to do music creation sooner or later, only better. Come on, did you really think we could avoid a game of cat and mouse like this?
