It’s been confirmed that Rock Band 3 will include keyboards. Cnet’s article on the game has a picture of what the new controller will look like. (Honestly, while I might get the game, I don’t see myself shelling out more money for this particular controller. It’s not like anyone that I know is ever lining up to play with the drums when we get the game out.)
But, here’s my question: does this open the way for a Bon Jovi edition of Rock Band?
Think about it. Dave’s keys are a defining part of the Bon Jovi sound. This development would open the way for a true Bon Jovi experience in the gameplay–and would open the way for including ‘Dry County as a playable song. (My arm hurts just thinking about it.)
Up till now, the number of Bon Jovi songs available for Rock Band/2/Lego has been very limited. So far, all we’ve got are the songs that come with the discs, leaving us gamers with nothing more than the Big Three from Slippery When Wet. We’ve been arguing for a Bon Jovi DLC pack since the release of the first Rock Band, but haven’t got it so far.
At this point, with Harmonix and Activision cranking out Guitar Hero and Rock Band games for every band in the world, there’s got to be room for a Bon Jovi one. They’ve got the back catalog–and enough backstory–to fill up a game on their own.
