Lips details, Lips facts and Lips love

In a sit down discussion with developer iNiS's Keiichi Yano, the chief creative officer for karaoke game Lips, Joystiq learned quite the factual load of Lips information. Informative highlights including mention that Lips will support both the Zune and iPod but will not use DRM'ed music, the microphone is in fact dongle'less, every song included will be a master track and feature the original music video and game scoring will be enabled with all custom tracks.

1.4 - @1.2 Ok I should've been more clear.............
PSN is lacking the number of demos that Live has. PSN gets demos after game releases, Live gets them before

When I said "like Live does" I didn't mean PSN didn't get any demos, they're just delayed and come out later than they do on Live

I should've said "in the same manner as Live does" My bad

Plus with Qore, you can now pay for your demos. Even Silver Live members get demos free

Okay? So PSN demos get delayed, so this means they're copying? Oh yea, forgot, MS invented demos like they did avatars. My bad=P.

"Plus with Qore, you can now pay for your demos. Even Silver Live members get demos free"

LOL, you kidding me? Qore is an online magazine, nothing more. And you do know that before Qore, occasionally magazines came with demo discs, right? BTW, Qore owners just get demos first.

Just face it, everything from Windows Version 1, to Internet Explorer, to Vista, to the Xbox. Everything MS has proved is that imitation is their strongest suit. And imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. =)

1.8 - The whole situation with Qore and Xbox Live Gold recieving demos is funny.
"Plus with Qore, you can now pay for your demos. Even Silver Live members get demos free"

Naruto was a Qore exclusive download for a week and was then released to everyone else. If your with Xbox Live and your on an Xbox Live Silver account, you'll have to wait a week to download newest released demos. Example...I can't download the new Too Human demo or the Tales of Vesperia demo since I'm on Xbox Live Silver. I can download multiplat demos a whole lot earlier on PSN because of that. Multiplat demos aren't exclusive to Qore. The only demo that has been Qore exclusive was Naruto. Every 360 game demo is exclusive to XBox Live Gold (Paying members of Xbox Live) for a week. With Qore it's not like that. Not ALL of our demos are exclusive to Qore users.

"Ah yes, like I'd pay for an online magazine when I can get all the gaming news free on the Internet?!?!? Is Sony trying to rip people off?"

Like Microsoft charging you guys to download themes isn't a rip off? We get those for free and they change the icons, sound, message notification boxes, web browser cursors, and multiple wallpapers. Overall they're much better then what Microsoft is charging us for, you can create your own, thousands available on internet, download them for free off the PS store, possibilities are endless.

Lets not forget I can watch the Qore episodes on YouTube but Microsoft charging for 4 wallpapers & a guide background is simply ridiculous. Biggest rip off but it gets even worse.

Lets not forget about how Microsoft charges us for gamer pics. There small as hell. Complete rip off. I brought a street fighter II game pic for some MS points and it was a rip off. I can't believe they charge for that.

And on top of all of that Gold users (paying for Live) still get ads on the dashboard. Go figure.

But back on topic.

I'm really surprised this game doesn't have a YouTube like service like SingStar has. Did I miss it? I don't think so..... Guess that'll be the ironic difference between the two versions. SingStar isn't just a kareoke game but it has a community. The YouTube like service really made it next gen. And I don't see any camera support for this game too. Two very big features that are missing from this game that makes Singstar on PS3 next gen.

Demos on PSN all depends on developers when they want to release them. Not Sony fault some of them released after. Not all demos released after the games released.. most released before the game... Just to let you know..

Really though,

Microsoft is releasing LIPS, why does that anger you to the point that you feel a need to come into a 360 thread and bash Microsoft and the Zune. Then you act surprised when ElementX attacks your comment.

There are several features that are in lips that are not in Singstar. I mean, you guys are starting to go overboard with this copying crap. I guess all of the current console makers have copied Atari and the makers of the original Pong game.

Anyone that makes a shooter is copying wolfenstien, and some of the earlier shooters. If someone makes and game and someone else makes a game in the same genre, it doesn't necessarily mean they are copying. For godsakes, if no one ever duplicated anyone's elses efforts, we would be still playing pong on a black and white TV.

lol

guess you forgot about playing on the internet for FREE like everybody else does except MS and MMO's and you have the cheek to talk about getting ripped off. I dont have to pay for qore but its like buying a magazine where as you have to pay for gold just for you to know if your mates are even online. That my friend is a ripp off.

I might like this game, I love music and the great thing about it is the feature of bringing your own music in. I mostly listen to hip hop and they said something about rap songs may be played differently.
Shut this user up Let user speak
uxo22 - 516 days 9 hours ago
3.1 - I totally agree
I own Singstar and it currently has 12 songs in rap and 12 songs in Rnb, yet it has 200+ pop songs, over 120 rocks songs, 60 - 70 indie songs. Sounds to make the Sony doesn't want people that listen to hip hop and Rnb to play their game. I mean, I can't make this sh!t up, look how long singstar has been out and they only have 12 rnb songs, do you know how many great rnb tracks are out there?

THOUSANDS!!!

To be honest, it somewhat offends me, I will definitely be getting Lips and playing my own sh!t. If the features of lips holds true, singstar, will be getting put on mothballs.

To much jealousy,anger and all the seven deadly sins centered towards a little karaoke game called LIPS.

Well Sony has Singstar, so the f"ck what?So because the ps3 has a karaoke game, no other console is allowed to have one?Did Sony invent karaoke?A singing game is something that every console should have weather you like it or not.

The trolling on 360 news sometimes is disgusting.

9 - I thought this was about LIPS?
Why did this story have to degrade into another sh*t flinging match.

Anyway. I don't really follow the whole DRM issues, so when It says we can't use iTunes music ect, where else can we use our music from in LIPS

10 - Like I said in one post...,
MS took the concept of Lips from Sony. Just like Sony is about the take the concept of "Live Aware" from MS. Cell phone manufacturing companies took the concept of "Touchscreen" phones from Apple. Blockbuster took the concept of Online DVD Rentals from Netflicks. Mercedes Benz had the slim security card that you walk up to your car and it unlocks without you touching your car and other Automobile companies took that idea. Push-button start also was another concept taken. I can go on and on. It's called innovation technology. Don't let ignorance blind your train of thought.
