One of my friends just told me about this. Before Rock Band came out, I was telling him that Rock Band 2 probably wouldn't exist. So... Rock band 3 probably won't exist

It makes me wonder what will happen to Guitar Hero. Last I heard, they only had rights to make a guitar based game =/
Is that why they're following ITG's footsteps and allowing custom songs?

what i don't get is that the game is actually different by a considerable margin compared to konami's offerings. (as opposed to ITG, which from a design standpoint is practically identical to DDR).

just another big eye roll to Konami....

How can they possibly win this, though?
To win a claim like this, you need to prove that your patented product's success was undermined by the copy, and there is no way they can show that.

Guitar Freaks and Drummania were never close to being mainstream hits, and hardly have any common market with Rock Band or Guitar Hero.

I think Konami will not only look bad for doing this, they will also lose the case.

I really hope they lose. Rock Band and GH4 look so much better.

Rock Revolution = SuperNOVA
Rock Band = ITG
GHWT = R21

I think he was making a quality comparison, not a hardware/design, comparison.

To the dude that asked about Guitar Hero, Neversoft/Activision pays royalties to Konami, so it's all OK there

Hopefully the worst that comes out of this is just some simple payments, I won't be happy if I can't get RB2!

lol, check out a quick part of konami's press conference.

3:17 - Lauren Faccidomo is on stage to talk about Rock Revolution.

3:18 - The Sheenas, an all female Ramones Tribute band is on stage to play real instruments and generally rock out.

3:19 - Smelly guy is so excited he got out of his seat to stake pictures. I almost barfed when he squeezed by me.

3:20 - Lauren Faccidomo is rocking the 'eff out.

3:21 - Lauren and a Konami guy are playing Blitzkreig Bop on the game now. They suck at it. Daemon would have been better at the drums.

3:22 - Everything about this sounds awful. The cover is terrible. the sound effects for missing notes hurt my ears and THEY FAILED THE SONG!

3:22 - And it's over. Konami ends the press conference by failing at their own game.

got this from IGN.
