U2: Rock Band?
After seeing the mainstream buzz,
critical success, and lifelike virtual recreation of The Beatles in The Beatles: Rock Band it seems the superstar rock band U2 wants in on a piece of the action. In an interview with
USA Today bassist Adam Clayton expresses his thoughts that the band may be interested in bringing their music and likenesses to the virtual stage.
“That could change. I love the idea that that’s where people are getting music, and we’d love to be in that world. We’ll figure something out. What The Beatles have done, where the animation is much more representative of them, is what we’re interested in, rather than the one-size-fits-all animation. We didn’t want to be caricatured.”
Based on Clayton's qoute though it seems that U2 would probably want something along the lines of The Beatles: Rock Band. The band is arguably the biggest act running so Harmonix (or Activision) working with them is only an eventuality held up by the band itself. However in an industry already oversaturated with rhythym games and the genre on a noticeable decline year over year, will an audience be there to support a U2 branded game?
