Sony Europe boss David Reeves has told Eurogamer to expect "the next generation of SingStar" at Games Convention.
We were speaking to Reeves at an event in Santa Monica today and asked for his views on Microsoft's new karaoke game Lips.
"If you come to Leipzig, you will see the next generation of SingStar," he told us. "That's all I will say."
IGN India says: “ Interior Night’s Charu Desodt on bringing Singstar to life on the PS2, winning a BAFTA, and upcoming Xbox Series X|S and PC game, As Dusk Falls.”
This may come as a bit of a shock to Americans, since it never really took hold in the US, but Singstar was one of the most important series ever released on a Sony console. And in January 2020, after 15 years of PlayStation karaoke, it’s finally going to be shuffled off the stage.
This game could live on as a VR game. Karaoke as different created characters or franchise characters from other games. Sing as Kratos or Nathan Drake or Parappa the Rapper, etc and post to social media if you're into that internet thing. Would be funny. And interesting if you had individuals who could really sing. Alloy becomes a virtual singing idol.
Sounds crazy but it's creative for VR. And you could use Dreams to create your backgrounds and music videos. I don't really sing but don't think they should give up on Singstar.
So if you invested potentially hundreds of dollars in the game with DLC songs, will all of it continue to work or are you just SOL now?
I loved SingStar but it hasn't been supported most of this gen. It had a half-hearted revival with a couple of discs but very little of the PS3 library transitioned across. I will probably keep my PS3 just for SingStar when PS5 comes out.
SingStar was huge in the US. Where did the idea that it wasn't popular in the US come from? It wasn't a hardcore game, so the hardcore gaming community never really noticed it much, but the game was a huge money maker for Sony.
Sony is shutting down online servers for SingStar and Driveclub in early 2020.
Extremely disappointing how Sony has treated one of its best exclusives this generation. Love Driveclub. Such a shame it never received the love, attention and respect it deserved from Sony, post-launch.
everyone can make mistakes and definitely Sony made one by letting to die Driveclub, if you didn't know is still best looking racing game out-there , not only looks heavenly stunning but plays awesome as well, not sure how hard affected Sony to take such decision but for what we know is a very bad decision taken.
I can only agree with Yi-Long and masterfox...Sony just made a HUGE blunder with no doubt.
I adore DriveClub and I've been playing It a lot the last couple months. I even just got Platinum in both DriveClub and DriveClub bikes this week. But the multiplayer in both is absolutely baron. There's no matches on either to play online. You need to arrange online meet ups
Karaoke wars?
@pwnsause
that was the funniest comment I've read in a long time bubble to you
I think now that lips is almost here, sony have to really push the boat where they can take it, i.e. disk space...just including a huge amount of the backlouge on one bluray would be pretty cool.
I think they just need to make Singstar as relevant here in North America like it is over in Europe. Advertising out the ying yang.
LMFAO
thats what i needed to start my day.
i'm actually going to look up Singstar today. my girlfriend is not a gamer in any sense of the word. but she loves high def movies and she sings all the time. i mean all the time and knows all the songs from almost all genre's and eras.
so i'm going to pick up singstar for ps2 and ps3 for her. just have to figure out the microphone issues between ps3 and ps2.
