"The first music orientated video game I can remember playing was Bust-A-Groove on PSX. Does anyone remember that game? With all those anime characters dancing in 3D and you had to press in button combinations every four beats? I loved that game. I still love that game. You know what? I love music video games in general. They’re easy to pick up and play and there’s just so many different types and different ways to play them on every gaming platform to date."
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
What happened to you, Lady Gaga? You used to be so pretty :(
Dance games are having a resurgance, meanwhile music instrument games are dying....round and round we go..
Pozzle? Are you insane? That beast was never "pretty", unless you are using that word as a prefix for ugly. She looks like a man who had a sex change to be a woman, but the sex change failed. Also, she was clothing like she is a retard. I hate fashion, but seriously, this bitch wears stuff she finds at the garbage dump. Cuts holes in it and wears it looking all manly, with weak music.
it looks like she's got some weird grey moustache thing going on in that pic lol.
