‘Guitar Hero’ Out, ‘Rocksmith’ In…
According to the Hollywood Reporter, videogame publisher Ubisoft has announced a new title called ‘Rocksmith’, which can be played using real electric guitars.
The company is reportedly in negotiations with Gibson Guitars to sign up for a game and guitar bundle that is reported to cost around $200. Rocksmith will be ready for a September launch and feature 45 tracks including tunes from the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Nirvana and more.
Ubisoft’s senior VP of marketing Tony Key distinguished ‘Rocksmith’ from ‘Guitar Hero’ by describing it as “a music experience” as opposed to “a party game.” (No word on what type of game Key considers ‘Rock Band’ to be…). “We will create a new generation of guitar players” he said.
Sounds familiar…
