Our friend Josh Randall at game developer Harmonix sends along his latest:
Guitar Hero Guitar Game for PS2
The game comes with a guitar PS2 controller. We’re not allowed to see photos yet, but it’ll look like a guitar with “fret” and “strum” controls. Music includes Red Hot Chili Peppers, David Bowie, Boston, The Donnas, Black Sabbath, The Ramones, White Zombie, and Jimi Hendrix. “You’ll start your rock career playing small clubs and bars, but if you play well you’ll work your way up to stadiums and arenas.” Funny . . . that’s a superb description of my current career.
So, Harmonix — when do we get Keyboard Hero, huh? (or better yet, Accordion Hero?)
Oh, well. I’ll be hacking that guitar controller into Max/MSP the moment I get one.
