This morning's Top Story is the news that Ubisoft is keen to prove with its upcoming title Rocksmith that the music game genre is far from dead.
Ubisoft's Rocksmith, coming later this year for 360, PS3 and PC, promises to "revolutionize" the music game genre. It'll apparently do this thanks to its ability to use any real electric guitar featuring a standard quarter-inch jack as a controller, rather than requiring specialist hardware designed specifically for the game.
Features of the new title include gameplay that automatically adjusts to the player's skill level, and a design which apparently makes reading music "visually fun and intuitive." Not much in the way of actual game footage has been revealed thus far, but this statement perhaps means we can expect something a little different from the typical Guitar Hero/Rock Band note highways. Perhaps something a little closer to traditional guitar tablature?
