Rock Out With Your Blocks Out

Rumors! On the Internet? Impossible! But if they're to be believed, Lego and Rock Band are going to do a thing. Weird.

On the upside, there's already cosplay out there for this.

Is Traveller's Tales working on a Lego version of MTV's popular Rock Band franchise? That's what Mr. Anonymous S. Ource is telling videogaming247. It's even backed up with a quote of assurance that the news is "100 percent correct." I guess that's more confirmation than you typically get with anonymous rumors about games that may or may not be in development, so hey, take that for what it's worth.

Personally, I think it'd be worth it just to see a Lego singer going back-to-back with a Lego guitarist to shout a chorus into the mic. Most of the Rock Band animations and camera angles would probably be really funny to see with Lego dudes. So I guess I'm for it? It'd certainly be a welcome change from the rest of the Lego stuff, anyway. But what music do you associate with Lego? Kids' music, right? As I am not a parent, that sounds decidedly less cool.

Now we just need to wait and see if the anonymous source is right or not. I sent a shout through to the proper channels, which I think will result in a response that sounds like a mash-up of "we do not comment" and "on rumors or speculation."

I like Rock Band but this idea can go suck a block.

That doesn't make sense but I really wanted to say that.

It wouldn't be necessarily bad but sort of pointless.. Unless it's a skin or a mod or something.

What the crap would be the point? If anything it'd maybe be an expansion to Rock Band where your avatars could have Lego helmets.

I enjoyed the LEGO thing when it first started, but it's getting out of hand now.  The magic has worn off for me.

No more weird Lego games! If any type of Lego game should be made let it be a sand box type where people can just build stuff and share it similar to Little Big Planet.

I think recent LEGO games have been pretty unique and it wouldn't be bad seeing how LEGO Rock Band will turn out to be. But the soundtrack is definitely a point to argue. I hope they don't water it down to "kiddie music" because that will just mean a loss of selling point of Rock Band games.

I would be okay with this if they didn't load it with children's songs. Maybe this is why Harmonix has been doing Naked Brothers Band songs and other Nickalodeon artists as DLC lately. I'm sure I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole due to a pretty much guarenteed crap setlist.

Maybe they will surprise you, Jeff and actually comment.  Do you want that?  Do you REALLY want confirmation that we are getting yet ANOTHER set of Plastic Instruments?  This time ones that come with instructions and you have to build them out of LEGO blocks to play with them?  I wouldn't even want to know if such an abomination is coming out.  I wouldn't even want to know...

Having Lego people as downloadable content might be kinda cool, but there is no way this could be a stand alone game.

if they're doing this, then, if anything, it should be a pack you can download for a female and male character creation feature, with a couple lego themed venues and instruments.  i'd drop 5 bucks on that.
