Add Rock Band developer Harmonix to the list of developers working on video games for next-generation systems.

A recent job posting says the candidate will "work closely with our world-class artists to bring their work to life on brand new IP and next-generation consoles."

Other job listings on the website that could be related include building a music game that's a "unique motion-gaming IP" that features combat encounters as well as player exploration.

Aren't music games a dying genre?I mean,wasn't that the reason for guitar hero getting axed?I don't play them personally because I believe there is no depth and I like a great story.I guess some people just like to play their favorite songs or something?

Maybe its just me ,But does anybody still play Rock Band.. I thought it was pretty much dead, especailly since rock smith came out.

How would a title like they described even work?

I'm thinking something like brutal legend maybe
by Applesteak Friday, May 04, 2012 at 11:24 AM

Rock Band 4. Make it happen. Please

Here's hoping that it's going to be "Cooking with Skrillex".

p.s. why are you here go watch Avengers already!

I don't know whether to be interested or not. Kinda over the idea behind music games, but I'm up for a new ip.
by new traditionalist Friday, May 04, 2012 at 12:25 PM

let's hope it fully uses next gen tech instead of being a copy and paste rockband game with a good artist like rollingstones.

Will keep it under observation...

Some people fail to realize that Rocksmith exist and you play a real guitar.

Isn't that last bit exactly what Theatrhythm is?
by dewdrop97 Friday, May 04, 2012 at 12:47 PM

seems like quite a few devs are hiring for next gen consoles. expect to see some hardware at e3 next year
by briefshot123 Saturday, May 05, 2012 at 03:03 AM

I still play and download weekly. Don't know about putting in combat. Would still be interested in new IP though.
by euro2012 Sunday, May 06, 2012 at 06:56 AM

let's hope it completely employs subsequent gen tech instead of becoming a backup and paste rockband video game using a excellent artist like rollingstones.
by Meta77 Monday, May 07, 2012 at 11:39 AM

Seems most studios are going to the next gen.
