Music game lovers rejoice!
Last night, Konami held its annual Gamers’ Day in San Francisco, the city that never sleeps. Little did the company know, but they had invited the VG Fink into their show. Only I can provide the true story of what went on in the sweltering oven that was the small club that the event was held in.
I would have loved to have talked about this last night, but Konami made everyone sign an NDA before entering the show. If you’re not familiar with this “in the business” term, NDA stands for “No, Don’t Alaborate (to your readers).” It basically means that we can’t talk about what we saw until Konami tells us that we can. Otherwise, Video Kojima gets very sad.
The big announcement at the show is that Konami is creating a new music game called Rock Rock Revolution, a spin-off of its popular Dance Revolution series. This new game plays almost exactly like the popular music game, Rock Star, which is, of course, created by the Rock Star, the same people who gave us the Grand Theft Auto and GTA games. The big difference between RRR and Rock Star is that there are two more drums in RRR than in Rock Star. So if you really like drumming in Rock Star, then you’ll like this game two better. You also can’t sing in Rock Rock Revolution, but who ever does that? You look so silly doing it! What if your neighbors saw you? Could you live with that? And put on some clothes when you play these game. Have some dignity, man.
Here’s a screen shot of Rock Rock Revolution. Apparently you can play as some sort of drumming cowboy.
