* PS3/XB360/Wii/DS
* Guitar/Bass/Drums/Vocals (DS only)

And with the late to the game card...Konami!

The UI is ugly, I would rather have had a reskinned GF/DM UI.

Unfortunetly I think Konami will get screwed by this and suffer. I really don't think the market can hold three full fledged music games (at what $170 a pop).

I find it odd that this information came out only days after we got the confirmation about Guitar Hero IV details.

So what are your thoughts? Are you as pessimistic as me?

I know I'm pessimistic about it. It will take something amazing from Konami to steal my finances away from Rock Band at this point in time.

Talk about late to the party.

And it seems odd that vocals are not included. That's a big negative (unless maybe they are going to add all the songs and vocals to Karaoke Revolution: American Idol Encore - which I doubt).

I'll get it because I get all music games, but I just don't see the point. The songlist is just OK.

The drums do look nice and better than both RB and GH4. But I'm not having any more 'contraptions' all up in my living room.

I'll be sticking with the RB franchise. I've got too much DLC to ditch now.

However, if the game is compatible with RB and GHII controllers on the 360, I may pick it up once it hits the bargin bins/ebay/used bins.

Whaddahfuck, Konami?! You seriously couldn't just bring over GitaDora V4 instead of this Rock Band rip-off (ironic, I know), could you? At least that game's (V4) unique presentation differentiated itself enough for it to not scream out "Hey! I'm a carbon copy of the competitors' drum/guitar sims!" The drum peripheral looks nice though. Too bad I can't use said peripheral for GitaDora if I ever wanted to import the games in the future

(I heard the CS-style drums/guitar for the games suck buttocks)!

See, it comes into full cycle. Rock Band/Guitar Hero ripped off Guitar Freaks/Drummania, so Konami is gonna rip off Rock Band.

It's too late, Konami. People are going to claim that you ripped off Activision, despite you guys being the 1st guitar/drum simulator game creators....However, I must admit the drum kit is VERY nice. MUCH better than the Drummania CS controller.

Also, you know WHY I play your guys music games? The music. You guys have more ORIGINAL music than covers/licensed music. & with the songlist, I've already lost most interest....This could be a chance to bring over some of the best GF/DM songs.

Do you honestly expect Americans to prefer an Asaki track over Blink-182 or even Dream Theater

Oh man, this is lame. The only positive I can see about this whole ordeal is that drum controller looks like it'll be better than Rock Band's.

Seriously, Konami is going to screw themselves with this one. Even bringing over Guitar Freaks/Drummania would've been more feasible than this. Sure, Americans wouldn't know what the hell all those Japanese songs are about, but at least they'd be different and actually fun to play as opposed to playing the same type of crappy mainstream US music we ALREADY have. And when I think about it, if they're not even including vocals, what would be the difference anyway?

Ugh, I'll stick with Rock Band for my PS3 and the occasional trips to the arcade for my Drummania fix.

Congrats, Konami. You just fucked yourselves up in the ass with a jackhammer with that move.

well the drums do look a lot better than the competition. But too little, too late.

edit: they have Dream Theater and even I don't care because Pull me Under is one of their most popular (worst) songs.
