Five Versions Of LiPS Planned By Microsoft

Shacknews reports: "When Microsoft announced Inis first Xbox 360 game, LiPS, at E3 they proudly proclaimed it would have music suited for each region it gets published in. There are already five different versions for Europe alone. Coming out sometime in the future are LiPS (English version), LiPS (Italian version), LiPS (Spanish version), LiPS (Swiss, Austrian, and Luxembourgian version), and Lips (Danish, Finish, Norwegian, and Sweedish version). That's a lot of LiPS. What could be potentially awesome is if LiPS' online store allows users to download songs from other regions. There is still a lot of mystery about LiPS like "iNiS stuff" which has yet to be revealed. Unfortunately, we won't find out any of this at Tokyo Game Show since Microsoft doesn't have plans to publish LiPS in the region, which also means you probably won't find many, if any, Japanese songs in LiPS when it ships in North America."

Stupid BABOONS.....AHAHHAHHAHAHHA

they think they'll steal the whole Singstar base with Lips? From what I've seen..........don't think so.

and trust me a lottt of people have singstar on their PS2's and love it, when they upgrade when the ps3 becomes cheaper they'll choose the PS3 rather than the 360 as Singstar is what their used to, Sony's built a very positive brand image for Singstar that I know in Europe and Australia is very strong and 'kool'.

Microsoft is going to need a lot of hard work and patience and great marketing skill to steal Sony's veryy veryyy large Singstar loyal base.

GiantEnemyCrab5688d ago

Considering Lips has features that Singstar can't do they are heading in the right direction. I don't know if MS plans to "steal" any Singstar owners but rather provide a similar experience to 360 owners.

PirateThom5688d ago

Singstar has Ultravox.

Microsoft can't compete with Ultravox. No one can!

THE FEELING IS GONE ONLY YOU AND I, THIS MEANS NOTHING TO ME! THIS MEANS NOTHING TO ME! OOOOOOOOOOOOOH, VIENNA!

if it's a song or artist then yeah, lip will have no problem.

Upload and share videos of yourself singing to one of the songs. It's almost like YouTube. You can make comments and rate the videos. Makes it feel more like a community then just a karaoke game. You can also remove the vocals from the songs but lips should have that feature.

Singing to your music is cool but how are they going to make money off of songs? It seems like the only advantage they have over Singstar. I'm guessing the downloadable songs must be videos.

Singstar isn't that hard to beat dude. The only thing that will be hard to beat is the community. The game itself is barebones. Here is a link to my Singstar PS3 review:

http://n4g.com/Reviews/PS3/...

With competition, Singstar will only get better. Also, they have Singstar beat on one front: Lips mics are wireless, Singstar mics aren't.

uxo225687d ago

I have Singstar for the PS3 and my biggest gripe for it is that the song selection is abysmal. And it doesn't appear that Sony London is really doing much to fix it. They say the main reason is licsening but being that Sony is a HUGE music house, I can't see for the life of my why the song selection isn't better.

If Lips have a better song selection I'll bail on Singstar in a heartbeat. For me in this type of game, it's all about the songs. No songs, no interest. Then you add the wireless interactive mics in lips and mp3 player connection options. If Singstar better get their sh!t together soon, there will be trouble for them.

i think the whole music simulation genre is slowing down in popularity

it was an amazing way to experience new&old music but now its not much more than greedy companies competing to get the next sequel out as fast as possible with little innovation

Andrew Lloyd Webber classics coming to Lips

Fancy yourself as the as the new lead singer in timeless West End shows such as “Cats” or the “Phantom of the Opera”, wowing crowds and being a part of some of the greatest shows on earth?
