The recently formed 4MM Games, comprised of two Rockstar co-founders Jamie King and Gary Foreman, recently announced a new project in collaboration with Def Jam Interactive. The game, entitled, Def Jam Rapstar at first glance seems like a Karaoke Revolution or Singstar-style flow to the beat and pitch of the music. However, the gameplay itself is not the real catcher with this game. It's about the networking.
GameDynamo - "Looks like Konami and Autumn Games are due in court. City National Bank claims that the two companies defrauded the bank of funds totaling $14 million dollars related to the development of Def Jam Rapstar. According to City National, the two companies lied to the bank to secure Autumn a line of credit, claiming that revenue from sales for the karaoke title would cover the loans."
they also lied to us about Silent Hill HD Collection being everything like the originals. Shit, I take them to court too.
That game did not sell at all. Ouch...I still have 18 copies sitting around at work.
I wish they would've made a new Def Jam fighting game like Fight For New York. Now that would've sold! That's what happens when you try to follow trends.
With this gen since online is so big. WHy dont they being back games like Def jam FFNY on PSn or xbox live with online play that would be amazing. I would love to play all my old ps2 games games online like nfl 2k5,fight night,twisted metal black,ssx,granturismo3 etc.
Eurogamer:
The developers responsible for 2010 music title Def Jam Rapstar are being sued by record label EMI for allegedly failing to clear the rights to tracks featured in the game.
hahahaha that's rich you would think all that stuff would be taken care of um I don't know before it launched lol
Contracts with music companies can be very detailed & difficult. Depending on the songs used, the music label may have rights to the song, but don't issue royalties to that artist anymore. & to deepen the situation, that artist can then request $, for the usage of the song. Not to mention the multiple artists that may be involved. Things like that would cost the music label $.
"& they don't want that,-Nooooo!"

But it could just be a case of "no, you can't use that song".
However;
Damn! 54 tracks? I thought maybe a handful or so.
That's heist.
June 23 marks the spot when Def Jam Rapstar, Lockwood Publishing, and more make their way into your home. Your Playstation Home that is.
Now I can show off my (absolutely no) musical talent to all my (soon to be non existent) friends!
I deleted Home awhile ago to make room on my ps3. I think Home is completely boring and has long ass load times.
I go back to it like every 4 months or something like that and it's always the same, plus almost everybody on there is either trying to get a fake girlfriend or some shit or just standing there holding the psp on the pause menu.
/facepalm ...
first the long ass load times are gone,
second it's freaking easy to find something to do in home.
Third it has been proved in Several event ( co-op or not ) that if you talk to people in home normally , they will answer normally ..and in most case don't hésitate to help .
Be it sodium one, Xi , aurora , or sony events ( move event for example) or countless others ones i've played , i've find many players and people willing to help /or play ..the problem here is not HOME but you being unable to socialize enough.
I dunno , check alphazone or the sony foroms.. getting into the home community is easy and simple .. i suspect that you're going every x months, and don't TRY and of course it's home's fault not you. you probably didn't even try to get into Home events . i mean there was a time where people were lining up for street fighter tournament , resistance matches in HOME ... that's how diverse the community is ..
as for myself have found several very good burnout paradise players ..
there is always something to do in HOME try it ( FOR REAL this time)
