HMX has talked about releasing their own Music Creator title at some point, but also that they wanted to do more than what was in GH.
"LEGO" would be a great code name for such a project.

Think of what I could build ON MY GUITAR

Everyone's gotta start somewhore. And your analogy is absolute shit.
That's like saying "Whoever said OJ Simpson is a murderer for killing a couple of people is WRONG, because Hitler killed like 5 million!"
The lesser of two evils is still evil. Get it or no?

Also, not 100% sure how a Rock Band Lego title would even work, but given the track record of TT and Harmonix I'm willing to at least give them the benefit of the doubt until we get more details.

#13 - Make a Lego Version
04/05/09
It's incredibly saddening to think that even my beloved Harmonix is falling victim to the 'throw meaningless shit out just to make money' virus that originated out of Activision and is spreading across the industry like the Black Death. Ugh. Please be a prank. Please.

I'm crossing my fingers that Blizzard hasn't started going down this route, although all signs say differently.

I guess that's what it could be; more recent, kid-friendly songs. Like a Kidz Bop Rock Band or something. Makes sense.
Still, bleh. Greed seems to be usurping creativity at every step of the development process these days.
04/05/09
I'm ok with that, personally. I'm starting to get fed up with all of the Nickolodeon brand DLC we've been getting lately. Naked Brothers Band? Spongebob? Come on...
04/05/09
Yeah, when SPONGEBOB gets added to Rock Band before Reel Big Fish, I start to get angry.
Sort your fucking shit out, Harmonix. >:[

It's quite insulting that Harmonix has added country, hip hop, death metal, and SPONGEBOB, and not a single piece of ska DLC. =/

I bet they'll soon think about a Disney rock band and such because families could get into that.

* I fear nobody will get the "Falco" joke **
** Despite that it would be actually a fun song ...***
*** I don't think that we only need rock music in RB - in the 80s they also pretended to play their synthesizers with a guitar ...
04/06/09
That song is incredibly popular, of course there are some people who will get the Falco reference. I'd buy a keyboard-enabled version of the game. Get some Elton John, Coldplay, Billy Joel, even a lot of Beatles songs have some keys, and we know they got the rights to those songs.

And seriously, if this is a full game and not some other project...it's still only three RB titles this year vs. well...LOOK AT THE SLIDE.

Harmonix should never have created this idiotic situation to begin with. They should have kept their own brand name, and built from there.

People hate on Guitar Hero/Activision because they're bleeding that motherfucker dry. Do we need 9 goddamn Guitar Hero games a year? Not really, no.
I haven't paid much attention to either, but last I checked Harmonix was still offering ridiculous amounts of decent-priced DLC regularly where as Activision put out maybe 1-2 $6, three songs per pack DLC once in a blue moon.
03/27/09
I'll agree Kotaku tends to be an echo chamber where a lot of people seem to believe it's +1 credibility to bash Guitar Hero. But that's only become the case because a lot of us who really love the genre have found that there's a real difference between what the games have become.
