Final list of fifty-eight tracks locked down as the countdown to MTV Games' gig continues...
MTV Games and Electronic Arts have today confirmed the final line up for Harmonix's upcoming 'performance simulator', Rock Band. Set for launch in early 2007 across Europe (but released in North America in time for the Holiday season), the game brings some of the top bands from the past forty years together with the promise of full album downloads in the coming months.
"Our goal with Rock Band was to give players the chance to experience an amazing cross section of music from the last four decades, and our final list of tracks includes everything from emerging bands to iconic artists," stated Paul DeGooyer, MTV's Senior Vice President of Home Entertainment, Music and Games. "The overwhelmingly positive response from artists, music publishers and record labels made the final selection process challenging, but extremely exciting. As a result, 51 out of 58 of the final selections are based on original masters, giving fans an unprecedented way to get closer to the music they love."
Eric Brosius, Harmonix audio lead stated, "Now that the disc track list is locked and Rock Band is being prepped for manufacture, we are working with our music partners to set an exciting download schedule, both for launch and beyond. Through DLC, players will have the ability to take a deeper dive into the music of the artists featured on the Rock Band disc, or further explore different genres of rock or additional bands if they choose."
