The latest Game Informer has details on Rock Band. Oh, sorry, did I say details? My bad. A fuckton of specific details, almost all of which will blow your baby blue socks clean off. Highlights are, in no particular order:
- The game will ship on one disc, which will contain four campaigns, one for each instrument. In addition, there's also a big band option for four-player co-op madness.
- You can use any combination of online/offline play. Two online two off, one online three off, doesn't matter.
- The vocals have been expanded from what we've seen in games like SingStar. The game's got a phoneme detector, so individual vowels and consonants are picked up.
- It's an EA game. So players create their own avatars, and can create different ones for each instrument the game offers.
- Each instrument character model has had different styles of animation mo-capped, so that you can decide what kind of hip-waggling and stage-strutting they'll be performing.
- You'll be able to design your own band logo for use online.
-
And that's just a taste. Which right now is all I can handle. There's a full run-down over at NeoGAF. You should, you know...go read it.
