Timbaland Making A Game With Rockstar

2K Games announces new PSP beat-making game, Beaterator.

[monkey602]

Beaterator ?? seriously? what kind of name is that for a game?

[krazy14kraz]

I know. It is the same name of the web game that this game is based on.

[PataponKnight]

Sounds like Chris Brown's kinda game.

[ElementX]

It's funny cause it's true! I saw on some tabloid that they got married! OMG they're both pathetic. Chris should go to prison and become some man's b!tch for once.

[DelbertGrady]

He sings like if he was one already. And no matter how hard he tries he will never be the new Bobby Brown or the new Ike Turner. He just doesn't have it in him.

[LoVeRSaMa]

Whats with all the Rappers and RnB artists making "Gangsta" games of themselves which blatently rip GTA.

Atleast if this game is like that he will be working with the creators of GTA.

[solidt12]

It won't be a game. It will be an App to make beats with.

[krazy14kraz]

sounds like an interesting game

[Madgunner]

I love timbaland's beats one of my favorite producers

[Kevin McCallister]

Same here. I wonder how in-depth it will be.

[DelbertGrady]

Would be cool if it lets you record samples. Does the PSP have a mic?

[RememberThe357]

It'll be good. The man has produced some of the best R&B and hip-hip songs out there. But lets do hope it's a fun little game.

[rockleex]

Or Pharrell.

Before anyone knocks Kanye West, he may say stupid stuff, but he's still one of the best producers out there. Not only that he's also one of the best rappers in the industry right now. Not to mention... he's garnering plenty of new fans outside of the Hip Hop genre with his song Heartless right now. ^_^

[Zeus Lee]

Bad idea,won't work unless it comes with an Add-on of sorts.

[RememberThe357]

It's been done before. There was an MTV game of the same concept that worked pretty well.

[XLiveGamer]

Whoa a beat making game?

[Timesplitter14]

Timbaland making a flop with Rockstar

[inFAMOUS_KRATOS]

great job sony!! go ahead push rockstar and other 3rd party games to make games for psp. the greatest handheld alive!!

[socomnick]

yea this games gonna suck. Guitar hero clone with a much less talented genre, making silly beats with the help of computers instead of having some talent and playing instruments.

[name]

Serious? The guitar is the easiest instrument to learn ever. And at least 60% of rap beats are made using instruments. People like Dr Dre have their own orchestra made for that specific reason. Then you have rap groups like the roots who do it 100% live. This is the problem, you have people who don't play music as a form of expression and the love of it, but just because they think being a rock musician makes them more important than regular people, especially other music genres. It's the form of elitism that attracts the demographic it has already.

[Madgunner]

thank you name for the comment .. i agree

[pixelsword]

Complaining about a game you've never actually seen in action and trying to down it by comparing it to a game that doesn't use an ACTUAL GUITAR.

If it was a beat game fashioned after a drum machine, a regular controller would be more apt than a controller shaped like a guitar; and at least the skills applied to a computer-centered beat game translates into the real world, unlike GH.

Besides, we all know you hate it because it's a Sony-based game.

Before Halo Wars, you've probably never even played a RTS game; if you bought HW in the first place.

[inFAMOUS_KRATOS]

not all people like rock music. i hate it i think is annoying as hek!!bunch of emo singing to loud sounding beat or instrumentals!
i want a hiphop game i wanna make beat and share with my playstation buddies or post it on youtube i know psp is capable of dlc too!!

[shutupandplay]

Thin headed is labeling rock music as "bunch of emo singing to loud sounding beat or instrumentals!" THAT is thin headed. Oh, and just to be fair, RAP sucks because I don`t think soulja boy is any good.

[krazy14kraz]

@Shutupandplay: I'm pretty sure that Soulja Boi isn't the only rapper.

[solidt12]

I like classic rock like the stuff you hear in Guitar Hero Legends of Rock but the new stuff I am not into that much. I am a Hip Hop head.

[inFAMOUS_KRATOS]

hope is very random!! i wanna make some beats and put them on my ps3

[Madgunner]

the more i actually wished it was ps3.. i could see BIGGER possibilities with this... Like Home integration direct youtube / PlayStation.com Integration and stuff like that. being that the ps3 is a much more capable system... they can go beyond that

[slave2Dcontroller]

knows the way/
to reach the top of the charts/
maybe if I hang with him/
I could perfect the arts/

[shagari7]

What's up with most people on this site? anything that has hip-hop or rap on it, most of you just shoot it down. Open your eyes and explore other things in this world then you will be able to appreciate the other things. I have been listening to rap since i can remember, i know there are faults in rap today but there are still great rappers out there. Likes of Lupe Fiasco they are real good, give them a try. Back to my point, i used to listen to rap only but few years back i decided to broaden my view on music because i found myself hating on everything else. I listened to RnB, Electronic A.K.A Techno (the likes of daft punk they made me to listen to more genres), i listened to rock too, Nickelback, Linkin Park,Duran Duran, Bass Hunter, ETC. These are just a few of the musicians i've listened too and what i got was a more balanced and wider range of music and i like them, Daft Punk being one of my favorite bands. All am saying is f&*king open your mind and explore other things because you never know what is out there(there are lots of good things to find).

[Simon_Brezhnev]

i guess they hating on rap cuz its always top of the charts lol

[shutupandplay]
