And I would like to fellate the staff at Harmonix.*
In aninterviewwith Ars Technica last week, Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopoulis expressed a desire to develop a newAmplitudetitle for the PlayStation 3.
“I would love to [make anotherAmplitude]. That game is still close to my heart. I love it. I’d love to do a sequel toAmplitude, actually. It’s an issue of prioritization. It’s challenging enough to keep theRock Bandtrain on the tracks.
Sony owns the series at this point, so the likelihood of seeing a new entry in this classic series of rhythm game on any platform other than PS3 or PSP is next to zero. Rigopolous does further comment that there has been a conversation with Sony about continuing the series, however, which gives this little fanboy the spark of hope needed to set my salivary glands fluttering.
If you have yet to pick upFrequencyorAmplitudefor the PS2, go and track down a copy this very instant. It’s the only game I have ever considered building a custom controller to play just because it’s so cool. Plus,Amplitudehas a boss level featuring David Bowie and I think we can all agree that is the greatest idea ever.
*Subject to the release of a newAmplitudeon PS3, not available in all areas, some restrictions may apply.
