Dance With The Black Eyed Peas
This actually isn't all that surprising. BEP is all about heavily-produced party music, so this seems like a logical step.
I think any artist who can provoke passion (negative or positive) will be successful in some capacity. In the case of BEP, for every person who scorns their work on the internet, there's another jumping around and singing along in a club.
But basically yes, you can generically dismiss them nowadays. Though I prefer to vehemently despise them & especially Will.i.am's godawful obsession with Autotune, & their astoundingly uncreative recent "samples" which aren't so much samples as they are just chunks of the hooks from other songs.
During this whole video I was trying to figure out who would be the publisher/developer would have done this game, then I started thinking what if other developers did this game.
WHAT IF ID DID THE BLACK EYED PEE EXPERIENCE?

I imagine that's the same experience Jeff is having right now.Nice. And quite possibly accurate.
Every publisher does it, people just like to scold Ubisoft when they do it though.

And are you old enough to understand that markets change, and the gaming industry, most of all, has exponentially grown into a business where releasing a game like Privateer or Zork is not financially viable for AAA publishers these days?@warxsnake said:

Yes I'm perfectly fine with Ubisoft's strategy. They are one of the few studios I can count on my hand, that didn't have any mass layoffs or studio closures tied to the recent economic depression.
And if releasing games like this means I get more Assassin's Creed and Rainbow Six, and smaller projects on the side like From Dust, then so be it. Big fucking deal.
@Jeffk38uk I agree. I like a few of their songs but... This is just a gateway drug to more and more terrible dancing games.
It seems a bit odd that it looks like (what I assume is) your avatar is standing in front of the bep with their back to you. More like dancing at them than with them. The MJE wasn't like that was it?

And I'm old enough to understand how the market is driven by race to the lowest common denominator. I'm old enough to understand that it only stops when people don't by shit. And I'm old enough to feel sad when dipshits sit there defending it.
I'm also old enough to understand when a stupid little kid tries to derail a thread because he wants to feel like he's got some kind of not really well considered "point" to make. And I'm old enough to feel sad about that too.
I can't wait for Black Eyed Peas X Saw: The Game
I'm gonna use the SHIT outta that reverse beartrap
Let's just say the irony is heavy, and that you acting like a child in your arguments doesn't help your cause, nor does it help you look mature in your statements. And what is your cause? All you've done is prove to me that you're old. Awesome. How is it to be old like you but still e-rage and fight on the internet?
Maybe you're so old you've lost enough brain cells to match the argumentative capacity of a 5 year old.
Go ahead and reply, I stopped giving a shit about how old you are 5 minutes ago.
I don't really care about your "e-feelings" at all. But given how hurt this long tirade of your's sounds, I guess I did get under your skin. So, I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to take it so hard. I think I'm going to leave you alone now. So, sorry.@Ragdrazi: You call everyone you argue with a kid? What is this, 1990s internet? You think my e-feelings are somehow affected by your trite garbage? You're so old you still resort to that shit?

Just, yeah, don't buy shit. Don't defend shit. Don't attack others for attacking shit. Basic stuff.
*Insert generic, albeit probably justified, dismissive comment about the Black Eyed Peas*
@csoup: define "legitimate group of singers". I mean is it actually legit when everything is just Autotune'd to buggery? Even my godawful voice could sound like Will.i.am's through that much computer fiddling. And I don't even particularly care when people use it to take out a bum note from a song (though I have a personal preference for...voices with a natural character. John Lennon, Tom Waits, folk like that), it's THAT ruddy hideous sound that I first heard on Cher's Believe over a decade ago. As I said in a previous post here, I think the BEP's first 3 records are pretty decent alt-hip hop albums.
I really like the black eyed peas, and I also like to dance. This along with finally checking out dance central 1 & 2 might be a reason to buy a cheap kinect from everyone that's selling them.
This will be the only positive comment for this video.

@csoup: The Back Eyed Peas lip sync on stage.
So what? People are entertained with what they put out and that is all that matter. Stop acting like you need some form of justifiable cause to sprout out of every group in this country in order for them to deserve their fame. Shit, half the "real" crap that tops the charts in the country is as ludicrous as the faked.
I hope the shit super bowl half time show performance will be a level to play in this game, then again, it will probably be DLC.
@csoup: I don't care if you like them or not, but to call the black eyed peas legitimate is absurd. Do you think rebecca black is legitimate too?
@zombiesatemycereal: if you feel that BEP is not a real band then
A. that's an opinion
B. tell that to their millions of fans
