Move over rover, and the gamers take over! Ok, I admit that the obscure Hendrix lyric was a bit much, but considering how excited I am that Harmonix will be making the Fender Stratocaster for the new game ROCK BAND, try a little tenderness.
Ex-developers for Guitar Hero are working on a new game for EA, and MTV where you can jam with your buds and create the ultimate rock band. Roland synthesizers (awesome), and BOSS guitar pedals have apparently signed on as well, although there is no word yet on drums or microphones. They have a few songs planned, but no official word yet on the play list, but it should run the whole rock gambit (no RUSH please).
Let’s just hope that MTV won’t muck this up like they did their music channels. As far as EA goes, well, we’ll see. Hopefully it will be a nice way to channel our inner Clapton, Page and Stevie Ray.
