No matter how you look at it, controversial pop star Chris Brown will have at least two songs in the upcoming SingStar Pop Edition (PS3)... The truth is, both Chris Brown (and Rihanna for that matter) have been featured in previous installments of the franchise. And currently featured in Microsoft's competing game - Lips.
So what's the problem? While the tracklist for the latest SingStar installment on PS3 is finalized for the SCEE region and the game is on schedule to launch in April 2009, PSLS can't help but think something should be done. With many radio stations worldwide still refraining from playing Chris Brown's songs, the "Got Milk" campaign and Wrigley's dropping sponsorship, and other musicians backing out of planned duets - PSLS is not sure if many of gamers will want to sing alongside him either. The royalties for the game and how much money the artist sees per song download are unknown, but what is clear is that the SingStore is a viable source of income. The Edge recently reported on Sony's social success, with SingStar highlighted as the most successful franchise. In fact, the article states that "the SingStore sells one track every 10 seconds" which equates to over 60,000 songs per week. That's a lotta guacamole.
PlayStation LifeStyle makes a few PR suggestions to Sony in the article.
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
To reflect his music's inclusion in Microsoft's Lips.
Is his music available on the disc or as DLC for Lips?
I think what Chris Brown did was absolutely ridiculous. Any man that puts his hands on a woman is a coward, and shouldn’t even be called a man. He should definitely be removed from the game in my opinion.
I don't care or like his music but... ¿What about Michael Jackson?
Be fair just be fair.
And I have friends that still defend him, I hope he gets years behind bars, any man that beats a woman that violently is a coward and a burden on society. And his songs are aweful!
chris brown is a cool kat
when deez women get out of line u have to show dem
chris brown style ^_^
jus kidding, jus kidding!! lol
