Rock Revolution track list revealed?

by Alisha Karabinus { Aug 6th 2008 at 10:00AM }

There's nothing like anonymous tipsters when it comes to (what may be) the best new info. Someone forwarded a purported Konami e-mail to Kotaku that contains the track list for Rock Revolution, their upcoming bid at securing a place in the corner of living rooms all over the world. Both the good and bad news? If you've ever played any other music game, you've probably run into some of these songs -- and many of the bands -- before.

Wow, I'm surprised. I like this setlist a lot. Might have to pick this up along with GH:WT, assuming it doesn't suck.

lobotomies4free @ Aug 6th 2008 10:14AM

tell me that's not the real cover

jan_halmes @ Aug 6th 2008 10:17AM

There are games I don't care about, then there are games I really don't care about, and then there is Rock Revolution.

Seriously, the gaming world does not need another "kareoke with Key-tars" title. Rock Band and Guitar Hero are pretty much the same game as it is.

godsend100 @ Aug 6th 2008 10:25AM

Nice list, but i wish that so many songs didnt overlap between Rock band, GH and now Rock Revolution. Its really annoying having to play the same songs, especially bad ones, over and over in all my games :(

Shad0wguy @ Aug 6th 2008 10:42AM

Well, while I hate to say it, I think I will be buying this. While half the songs have been done before the new tracks make me want it. Spirit of Radio and Paralyzer are reason enough.

KeegdnaB @ Aug 6th 2008 10:59AM

They're all covers if I'm not mistaken.....not original versions.

Maattp @ Aug 7th 2008 5:36PM

I have to say that rock revolution has done a great job in crushing GH and RB with an outstanding song list. Hopefully the gameplay will come close to them too.

techfreak713 @ Aug 6th 2008 10:56AM

so will this game work with guitar hero controllers? otherwise, its a no-buy for me. if it does, then i will probably pick it up.

sn1per @ Aug 6th 2008 11:31AM

The Wii version of the game is all air guitar and air drum. There are no instruments.

I haven't cared less about a Bemani game since SuperNOVA2.

Note to Konami,
You suck....its your own fault you didn't bring GuitarFreaks and Drummania over here years ago. don't think you're making right with the world by releasing a ripoff of a ripoff of a ripoff of your own game that you thought Americans would never get.

Congratulations on your buffoonery.....now where's that US Arcade release for IIDX Empress

CubeGuy @ Aug 6th 2008 1:39PM

Subtract one 'ripoff'. Rock Band isn't a ripoff.

KeegdnaB @ Aug 6th 2008 4:01PM

I know it isn't...its just an over generalization for simplicity's sake.

Hafk @ Aug 6th 2008 11:16AM

I would get this for Pull Me Under, but James Labrie's vocals are going to be slaughtered.

I'll wait until the better games get it as a master.

velocitySTRIKE @ Aug 6th 2008 11:24AM

Sk8r Boi seems to be everywhere a music game exists nowadays.

sn1per @ Aug 6th 2008 11:39AM

From Gamespot:

"Instead of instruments, it will use the Wii Remote to offer "an air-drum and air-guitar experience," letting players use motion to have their characters perform scissor kicks, smash their guitars, or light their instruments on fire. It will have the same modes and recording options as the PS3/360 edition, but will not support vocals."

No thanks, Konami.

Mr Bunky @ Aug 6th 2008 11:43AM

This game is a rental at best for me.

If Konami has the balls to charge $50-$60 (depending on the version) for a poor rip off chock full of covers, I'll laugh my a$$ off.

klepto88 @ Aug 6th 2008 11:55AM

This is game is a sad joke.

Dustin724 @ Aug 6th 2008 12:31PM

This seems like an ok setlist.

Except for the fact I've played most of these songs before.

Dylan F @ Aug 6th 2008 12:38PM

I'm deffiently not going to pick this up. It looks like a combination of Rock Band songs and Guitar Hero songs. You can right off the bat see songs that pop out at you that you notice from other music games.

Tann @ Aug 6th 2008 12:42PM

too bad they're all covers.

bukizzle715 @ Aug 6th 2008 12:47PM

All the songs are covers?? Nevermind then. I'll just stick with GH.

myles_sauer @ Aug 6th 2008 1:59PM

This game actually has quite an awesome setlist I think :| Even if they're all covers. Cum On Feel The Noize? I've been waiting on that one for a while. Still of the Night by Whitesnake? Yes please.

Might have to rent this one.

ChibiKawase @ Aug 6th 2008 3:25PM

Wow, Whitesnake without "Here I Go Again" or "Is This Love"? Avril Lavigne? Linkin Park!? SKID ROW?!? ...They must be intentionally trying to fail. D:

Haohmaru @ Aug 6th 2008 4:44PM

LOL at "Sk8er Boi." As if terming Linkin Park "rock" isn't bad enough...

J2M @ Aug 6th 2008 4:49PM

hey linkin park rocks but covers SUCK!!!

Abscissa @ Aug 7th 2008 12:37AM

"Youth Gone Wild", sweet, one of my all-time favorite songs. :) (Now I'm really curious as to the quality of the covers).

But... "Skater Boy"? Come on, it was bad enough when "Can't pick decent songs for an American audience" Nintendo stuck it into Elite Beat Agents, but now another game from another company is using it?

I can't help but wonder if the record labels are offering game companies a discount on song licensing if they agree to include crap like "Skater Boy"...
