Rock Band 3 To Get More Realistic
Touring in support of his new album with thenewno2, Dhani Harrison has let slip an interesting detail regarding the next Rock Band installment. The son of Beatle George Harrison has apparently stayed on at Harmonix after his work bringing The Beatles: Rock Band to reality.
In a chat with the Chicago Tribune, Harrison said, “"I'm working on Rock Band 3 and making the controllers more real so people can actually learn how to play music while playing the game. Give me a couple years, it's going to happen."
Harrison also dropped hints with the Boston Herald: “Now Harrison is working on Rock Band 3 to make it even more realistic. His goal: to get the game to actually teach people to play music, not just to pantomime in rhythm.”
What do you think of this potentially new direction for Rock Band 3? Are you excited by the new realism or will things get too complicated?
