PlayStation Universe takes a look back at some of the games and moments where David Bowie's music struck a chord in videogames.
Dance Magic, Dance. He will be missed. This is ground control to Major Tom, signing off...
Ended up doing quite well with ziggy stardust on GH; was only on medium but I still consider it an achievement 😃
Wasn't David Bowie in a Quantic Dreams game during the PS2 era?
These tracks wouldn’t be half as big if it wasn’t for Activision’s button-shredding megafranchise.
The writer of this article is obviously musically incompetent. Free Bird, nor Lynyrd Skynyrd, owes debt to anyone concerning their music and especially concerning Free Bird. It is one of the greatest and most highly ranked songs in the history of rock music, not to mention it contains one of the top ten guitar solos in rock history. I realize that in order to be considered great in the music industry these days all you have to do is copy something that someone else did years ago, but you should do a little research before making totally ridiculous and inaccurate statements.
Surprisingly enough, Thanksgiving is the perfect time to rediscover this gem.
Funny, went to my Daughter's house over the weekend. We played Rock Band, first time in about two years. It was just as much fun as I remembered.
I honestly never thought I'd play Guitar Hero again and just by happenstance my family bought some used guitars. I'm having a real blast playing it.
Never thought I would either, as much as I loved the game, I just stopped playing. Used to have "Rock Band Nights" at the house with bunches of people over... then, people just stopped coming and I just never got into the game as a solo person, it was always local multiplayer that was so fun... NOT WAS, IS so fun.
I am just not sure if the games are ready for re-release. I play RockSmith now... it is fun playing it solo since it is more of a practice simulator.
This is the game that got my son into wanting to play a real guitar. He cant play this game anymore as it throws him off when he was so good at it years ago.
Like I said in my article, Guitar Hero is definitely one of the factors that pushed me to learn drums and, later down the line, piano. Guitar Hero gave me my first taste of how much fun musical expression is.
I've only dabbled in Rocksmith, but it was fun and pretty practical. I'm also not sure if rhythm games are ready for a comeback or re-release quite yet. I think something like "Guitar Hero: Reunion Tour" would do well if they try and cash in the nostalgic value.
@ Sayburr: "Rock Band Night" was a frequently used term for me and my mates too !
OH, man, I loved our Rock Band Nights. A few adult beverages, a couple of crock-pots of food, and (at the end) 1089 songs to choose from... and I was 41 at the time of release, an old geezer playing.
Things kinda fizzled out with RB3...
We got you activision... GH WT is not a platform... har har har... just and expensive game with DLC... Sony droped the price maybe you Activision can grow some and have a back bone. You cowards who don't deserve to destroy the industry you are in.
But isn't this one of the reasons people are starting to say Rock Band is better? I don't have the game myself so I can't say for certain, but my neighbor has it and said all the dlc from the previous rock band works with rock band 2. If that is indeed true, then Activision truly are rip off artists
