Kickstarter Successful, Amplitude is Officially Coming

Dan writes - "It took nearly the entire 18 day campaign to happen, but in the final 24 hours the Amplitude Kickstarter has officially hit its goal of $775,000. That means that an official successor to 2003 cult classic by Harmonix will be making its debut on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4."

I was watching this just a few hours ago and it was about $6000 short.

I was unsure if they were going to reach it... its so interesting how fast/ effective crowd sourcing can be.

It was also weird watching the amount funded rise slightly every few seconds/minutes.

Interesting stuff.

Also! i didnt realize they are making this a PS3/PS4 Exclusive. Amazing stuff :)

The Amplitude name is owned by Sony so it's not going anywhere. Can't freaking wait!!

[GameSpawn]

Hot diggity damn. I'm glad they got funding for this. I freaking love Frequency and Amplitude.

@Mikey

This type of music game played in this style is owned by Sony as they own the first two IPs. I'm pretty sure Sony BMG music also plays into it as all the music in Frequency and Amplitude (and most likely also in the Kickstarter funded one) was Sony licensed music.

Hey, it is easier to afford music licensing if you share the IP's licensing. I'm pretty sure Harmonix paid next to nothing in music licensing fees for Frequency and Amplitude since they effectively handed ownership of the two IPs to Sony.

Congrats to the entire team over at Harmonix, It should be a great game!

[Nexusthorn]

I can't even imagine playing Knife Party's Centipede on a decked out version of Amplitude.

Man, it's gonna be a long wait...

(Yeah, I know the song might not be there in the final version, but it's a possibility)

[TheTowelBoy]

I put up 70 big ones! :D

[Ausbo]

70 G's?? Niceeeeeeee.

[NatureOfLogic_]

Welp, I only put up 20 little ones at the last minute.

[Obamanationn]

what the hell they had like maybe $10.50 like 3 days ago , ppl love waiting last minute

[xX1NORM1Xx]

soooo glad they made it i wanted to contribute but thanks to wtachdogs and mario kart preorders being taken out of my account today i couldnt im gonna get it when i get a ps4 thou for sure

[kwyjibo]

Sony, you no longer have to pay for exclusives, your fans will do it for you.

[mkis007]

Lmao good point! I put 200 myself lol.

[hot4play]

Thanks to all who helped kickstart dev't! Amplitude will def be day 1 purchase for me. Cant wait to play the sequel to one of my PS2 faves and imo the best music/rhythm franchise!

[lonelyplayer]

There's a stretch goal for adding online mode. you can still contribute!

[WeAreLegion]

So happy!!! I can't wait!

[DigitalRaptor]

Backed and backed... So glad this game is coming back.

Just another game, set and match, proving against all the indie hate going around.

Those saying "no-one" cares have been proven wrong time and time again. This is how beautiful independent ventures can be. That trust between fans and dev team is something special. Can't wait to see more.

[jukins]

So glad my first significant "donation" to a kick starter. I had my doubts it would be successful but so glad. Funny thing is I doubt my fingers are fast enough to be as good as I used to be lol.

[SliceOfTruth888]

Lets hit that stretch goal

[Soldierone]

I think this is the second exclusive Sony has gotten from Kickstarter lol

[Jeff257]

I Still have both Frequency and Amplitude for PS2 so I put down 40 for this. I am soglad it got funded and I really cannot wait to play this.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Last night Yoshida and a lot of other gamers went HAM on twitter, and helped it reached its goal. Good job guys. Now there better be a physical version, I don't do digital. Like to own my games.

[Jeff257]

It is going to be a digital release for 19.99 for anyone who didn't fund it. I don't think they ever did or even plan to make it a physical release.
