PlayStation LifeStyle found mention of the patch (v3.01) on a french gaming website. All indicators point to the April 16th release date. However, PSLS has more information about the separate, and later, release date of the voice-control patch.
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
i haven't really touched the game for a long time
doubt i will for trophies.
they need better and more songs
the ONLY trophy patch i want is:
MGS4
Valkyria Chronicles
this calls for more singing with my leprecaun friends while drunk!
French -> English (thx Google):
"Sony announced an update for the next versions of Singstar PS3. The game will be in version 3.01. Specifically, it will mean the arrival of the trophies, and a new look for My SingStar Online. This patch will arrive April 16, a day during which the SingStore and My SingStar Online will be unavailable for 8 hours, time to put in place new. A second update will arrive April 22 to introduce the Voice Control feature. It will select a song by saying its name into the microphone, simply! This system will be included in the next part of the series, Singstar Pop Edition, as shown in the image below against"
