Quite Possibly the Stupidest Announcement at E3 2010
So E3 2010 is going on at the moment in the US, and it's an been quite an interesting show. As most people would suspect, a lot of the show has been focused around Motion Control and 3D Gaming - both of which have lead to some of the best and worst moments of the show all round. Yet funnily enough, those weren't the worst announcements to come out of the show.
Lately, Konami have been really weird - announcing just the most random licenses to pick up and make games out of. This is the same company who tried to make a game based on the 2003 events in Fallujiah, and successfully made a game based around Saw, and are currently in the process of making not only a sequel to that, but also a Lucha Libre wrestling game (that's actually looking pretty cool to be honest). Yet that's pretty tame compared to the news that the latest announcement of a Glee themed Karaoke Revolution title.
Yes, Konami will be releasing a Glee themed Karaoke Revolution title.
I don't know where to begin with this.
I mean, I can understand the reasoning (THE SHOW IS SHIT HOT, AND IT MAKES MONEY) behind making the game and licensing the show, but it's the core concept that just baffles me. If you're not at all familiar with either - here's a quick summary. Karaoke Revolution is, surprisingly, a Karaoke title where you sing a whole bunch of cover versions of iconic songs. Glee is a sugary sweet TV show where actors sing a whole bunch of cover versions of iconic songs.
So...effectively, I'm singing covers of a cover.
Umm...what?
This is also the same year that saw Ubisoft present a Laser Tag game where the game is just a way of keeping stats, a game that is played by measuring your breathing via a not-Vitality Sensor and a Driver reboot that sees the main character of Tanner controlling other characters and shifting between them like a ghost, due to him being in a coma.
Good god, I just won't understand people. Still, least it makes sense for Karaoke Revolution to go for cover versions of songs, but this kind? Yeah....no.
