Here's That Rock Band Blitz Trailer You've Been Clamoring For

This is easily my most anticipated game of 2012! Now we just need Harmonix to figure out how to interpret Rock Band song data so it can be played in Umjammer Lammy format.

How many MSP for Dapper Drake?

2 Buttons?! I see........ let meeeee go geeeet something out of my car. *gets in car and drives away*

Eh, wish they brought back the proper Frequency/Amplitude formula. This just seems so watered down. It also kind of sucks that they decided to make it just a Rock Band thing since the abstract nature of the gameplay lends itself to any kind of music.

John Drake is so ugly ,i just want to punch that ugly head,god...

I've been sold a bill of LIES! I shall be boycotting this product until dapper john drake is available as the bar or the ball.

So much anger on the comments.Ease up,any game that would get Arkanoid in my music game deserves at least a passing glance.Or quick look,if you will.

Amplitude! I love Harmonix... bringing back the classics.

I'ma go ahead and stick with Audiosurf.

Soooo Amplitude.

looks like the PSP version, which was pretty fun.

I would hope Harmonix would have seen their own game, since they made it.

Audiosurf meets Rock Band? Looks like it.

"Summer"

So they're looking to be in the Summer of Arcade?

I don't understand this game.

I thought they were not going to make any more Rock Band games. This is a pleasant suprise.

Colour me interested. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go play some Amplitude.

And I have no idea what's going on in this game... someone please explain to me.

Just two buttons? That's all? Man, my interest for this game just dropped a ton. I'm sure it'll still be good... but still.

i don't like the looks of this.

...unless they tie-in some Wizorb action

Doesn't this miss the point of Rock Band entirely? Racing through songs playing what is essentially Audiosurf mixed with amplitude just... Isn't Rock Band! You buy Rock Band to play songs on a plastic instrument or sing, not to play some color coded mario kart racer.

Rock Band Unplugged with an amplitude look. Funny that only a few years ago I barely knew the beatles, and now I recognize all these songs.

No, Amplitude and frequency are barely like this. This is like that really mediocre ipod game they developed called Phase expanded out into a full fledged game. In theory you can say it's like Amp or freq in that you hit buttons on a highway to music, but you could use that logic to say driving in a car down a highway hitting a xbox controllers buttons to music is like amp or freq.

Yesterday I was pessimistic about this game, but today I fear it won't turn out well at all. I am hoping -nay - praying it isn't absolute bollocks but two button lane highway looks horrendously unfun and "casualized". Also the lack of any real effect on the music and not setting up and clearing tracks to customize a song is missing. Also absent is a remix mode. These are KEY concepts that made Frequency and Amplitude what they are. They wheren't just "mash buttons" games, they had interesting gameplay innovations and ideas. Something that this title is lacking and frankly, Harmonix has been lacking since the release of Rock Band 1.

It just seems like someone at Harmonix saw a picture of Amplitude and figured they could mimic it and this is that. It lacks any of the soul and real gameplay concepts that those first games initially displayed with a even worse and cluttered UI.

Sigh, guess i'll be waiting another 10 years for a real Fr3quency to come out.

This totally looks like Frequency/Amplitude to me. Could be interesting.

I have to say I don't understand at all how this is played based on this video.

Dapper Drake, MMMMM HMMMM

Amplitude mixed with RockBand? We shall see Harmonix.

This is pretty much Rock Band for the DS and PSP.

F-Zero in slo-mo? What?

John T. Drake, please explain!

all these plasticky games are the opposite of Rock'n'Roll, Duders ...

It's Rock Band Unplugged.

What is going on?
