Earlier this week RockGamer reported the PSP exclusive, Rock Band Unplugged. So what exactly is Rock Band Unplugged? Many details have surfaced about this new portable game and we have them all for you, courtesy of Primotech.
Last year Gamespot featured the PSP Rock Band game as an April Fool’s joke. The joke is now long gone, with Harmonix having the last laugh. Rock Band Unplugged is in development with Backbone Entertainment (Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, 1942: Joint Strike.)
Gameplay will be similar to previous Rock Band titles. There will not be a peripheral attachment such as Activision’s Guitar Hero: On Tour for the Nintendo DS. Controls will be similar to the PSP title DJ Max Portable (4 Button mode.) Notes are assigned to the ‘Left,’ ‘Up,’ ‘Triangle,’ and ‘Circle’ buttons. Players can switch between guitar, drums, bass, and “vocals” which use the L and R shoulder buttons.
Like Amplitude and its predecessor FreQuency, Rock Band Unplugged tracks will be broken down into “phrases.” Play a phrase perfectly to earn a multiplier boost and a prompt to switch to a different instrument. The player can choose to switch instruments at anytime, but switching prematurely will cause him to lose his multiplier. Just like in Rock Band, Overdrive will multiple your points and avoid failing a track.As reported by Primotech, the game will include music from Blink 182, Boston, AFI, Kansas, Lit, and The Police. DLC will be made available through the PlayStation Network and can be accessed through the game’s built-in music store. Unfortunately Rock Band Unplugged will not feature Ad-hoc or Online support like the PS2 title Amplitude. No PSP multiplayer? Blasphemy!
