Amplitude 2 possible for PS3. Amplitude might come to PSN

Alex Rigopulos, CEO & co-founder of Harmonix, was interviewed about the developer's creations and asked about the possibility of an Amplitude sequel.

Amplitude and Frequency were two of the greatest games on the PS2. They were the games that preceded Rock Band & Guitar Hero, and in my opinion had a greater emphasis on the tracks you were "playing". If this is true, I will buy it day one, no questions asked.

I'm sure there are a few people around here who can share my joy on this subject.

Does the download content from guitar hero or rock band 1 work with guitar hero and rock band 2?

Because if it does then what is the point of having new version come out every year? I only ask because my nephew wants one of them for his birthday

[Will_Smith]

every song available for DLC from Rock Band will work with ALL Rock Band versions... there is even an option to transfer 55 songs from Rock Band 1 into Rock Band 2 ( 3 songs were not available for transfer because of licensing issues)

On top of that Harmonix has promised us that all DLC will be compatible for future Rock Band games.

Now... Guitar Hero World Tour... DLC for Guitar Hero 3 will *NOT* work with Guitar Hero World Tour... the only DLC that will is the Metallica Album DLC for "Death Magnetic".

_____________________________ ________________________

now to answer the "Why come out with a new version every year":

Rock Band 2 was only released because of 2 main reasons: 1) they wanted to compete with Guitar Hero and 2) they wanted to fix and add features that fan wanted like Single Player World Tour. They will *NOT* be releasing a Rock Band 3 this year, they have stated that themselfs.

now as for Guitar Hero, you can find about 3 new versions every year... they milk that franchise to no end. World Tour is an obvious rip off rock band. Guitar Hero Metallica is planned for this year and so is World Tour 2.

Thank you for the VERY detailed assistance.

It looks like Rock Band might be the better choice. That is so greedy to make new music games like that and you can't even port over songs from your older versions. So because of that, Rock Band looks to be the better choice.

Again, thanks very much

One of my favorite Ps2 games.

[BlackIceJoe]

Amplitude would be cool to see on PSN and Amplitude 2 would be even cooler. Now I know it does not say it but I would hope there could be a PSP version too some day. That I think would be cool.

[Johnny Cullen]

Guitar Hero and Rock Band can go to hell if this happens, Amplitude was awesome.

Frequency was... ok but Amplitude and Amplitude 2 would be sooooooooooooooooo kickass.

[Simon_Brezhnev]

lol @ your comment bubbles

[TheColbertinator]

I didn't play Amplitude but I did enjoy Frquency.The music was amazing especially Freezepop's "Science Genius Girl".

[Megaton]

I've never played this game, but I've got a friend who swears by its greatness.

[user858621]

not played either, but if its on psn and has gawjus visuals den day 1 buy 4 me :)

[FarEastOrient]

Will Dance Dance Revolution or Bust A Groove work on the PS360 also?

[Amplitude]

I spent hundreds of hours on Amp online, then they shut it down. FreQremixes went bankrupt, and then the asshats shut down FreQ.com. The fact that Alex Rigopolus even thought about the game floars me. His brother Chris is the only thing that i respect out of Harmonix anymore. They used to be such a good company, talking with their fans. I'll always remember the Amplitude reunion where we got to play with the bands and developers. Liz Entusiasm was there... Freezepop.
Harmonix wont go near FreQ or Amp anymore. Though, seeing the games get some attention for once is always nice. :)
Definately my favorite game of all time.

Oh, and to any of the 30 or so people that used to play online with us, you can still get online. Zanquance connected his PC to the Socom servers and did a bunch of crap, and now you can connect by changing your PS2/3s online configuration. Just create a new one with the amplitude settings. Directions on the Gamespot forums for Amplitude. They used to be on FreQ.com... but you know. He's also making a whole new sequel to Amplitude called Resonance or something, which will allow you to import your own songs. You'll need a modded PS2 though. Go check out the forums and go online once in a while. Swift is on there all the time. :) I'll log on as well if more people begin going on. ...at the moment though, its a desert.

EDIT: Nevermind, They are on the Gamefaqs board. :) They used to be on the gamespot forums. ...whatever.

The new PS3 controller (with the triggers) makes playing these games pretty impossible though, since the higher difficulty levels pretty much require use of three shoulder buttons.

[Amplitude]

lol, i disagree. Playing Synthesized remixes with the BPM set all the way up on insane is way easier with the PS controller. :)
Go try it out again. ;)

[RoguE]

Wow I really hope they make a new amp. Even though Frequency > Amp. I played the hell out of both frequency and amplitude. I still got them both too. I was able to beat both of them again with the DS3 controller too so the controllers triggers wont be a problem.

[menel4]

Frequency and Amplitude were the best music games of the last generation

[infamous_27]

ps2 psn game? oh yeah!!
