LEGO Rock Band Confirmed By Harmonix’s Dan Teasdale?
It’s not like we didn’t see this coming, but at least now we have a 100% solid source. Harmonix’s Dan Teasdale published his full presentation from GDC, including a slide that listed every Harmonix game coming out over the next year, including Rock Band for PSP, The Beatles: Rock Band, and Lego Rock Band. Problem is- Lego Rock Band hasn’t yet been announced.
Teasdale got wise to his egregious boner and promptly fixed the PDF, but as with anything posted on the internet, nothing stays hidden. The PDF, though interested in its entirety as well, also holds a bit of information as to the future of the Guitar Hero franchise. Not only did Teasdale reinforce my theory that the Guitar Hero franchise is dead in the water (That’s about 20 games in two and a half years. Christ, Activision! Harmonix only made 3 games in two years!) but he also displayed rumored Guitar Hero games, such as GHDS 4, GHWT Backstage Pass, and Guitar Hero: BH and MC. No idea what either of those acronyms mean, but I can only hope it’s not Buckethead and Motley Crüe.
Of course, since the LEGO cat is out of the bag, what could this game possibly have regarding LEGOs? Hit the jump to find out.
My Predictions:
•Lego Note Charts – the standard red, green, blue, yellow, and orange rectangles will be replaced with LEGOs, and they’ll break whenever you hit them.
•Brick-based songs – The first tier will probably be along the lines of “Brick House” by the Commodores, “Brick” by the Ben Folds Five, “Hip to Be Square” by Huey Lewis and the News, and “Square One” by Coldplay. Last tiers? All of “Thick as a Brick” by Jethro Tull.
•LEGO Instruments – New instruments! A LEGO guitar, LEGO microphone, and LEGO drums. The LEGO drums are much louder, mich less tactile, and easily broken. But it’s cool, because they’re LEGOs. If they break, you can just put them back together yourself. For this reason, there is no warranty.
•LEGO World Tour – You start off as a greeter at the Legoland gift shop, playing songs for tourists at they enter the door. But you eventually get enough fans to move around the world- to other Legolands! Livin’ the dream, kid!
•LEGO Vehicles – The current Rock Band franchise sports regular vehicles that move you across the world, but none of that crap gets into LEGO Rock Band. As a matter of fact, traveling is very difficult. You could just walk, but then your feet would get stuck in the craggly, symmetrical LEGO ground on occasion. You could drive- but your wheels are bricks. It’s a hard knock life, son.
•Special shoes for drumming – Double LEGO bass pedals. That is all.
•Release date and price - April 9th, 2025 for $196. They’re square numbers.
