Power Gig: Rise of the SixString
Description
The true evolution of the band video game experience is
set to occur this fall when Seven45 Studios unleashes
Power Gig: Rise of the SixString for the PlayStation 3
and Xbox 360. Power Gig’s use of exciting, new
technology offers gamers a more authentic and fun
experience, while transporting players to an entirely
new universe, with its own mythology, politics, heroes
and villains, where music rules all.
The SixString Guitar Controller features Seven45’s
proprietary technology that can distinguish and
recognize gamers’ input all along the frets, making the
guitar as easy to pick up and play as any other band
game button controller. This technology means that, not
only can players enjoy the traditional beat-matching
gameplay that will be familiar to fans of the band game
genre, but also a new mode that Power Gig
introduces—the option to switch on chording, or chord
play. Chording presents the added challenge of playing
the game using chords that require specific finger
placement on the strings. The guitars also include all
the guts of an electric guitar so players can plug their
SixString guitars into any standard amp to jam with their
friends.
Power Gig also includes the revolutionary AirStrike
Drum Controller, which gives gamers the most
immersive drum experience available for a game by
providing for complete freedom to drum with truly
realistic movement, and without the distracting sounds
of peripherals already on the market. The AirStrike
drum controller consists of two drumsticks and a small
unit that rests by the player’s feet that features unique
technology that can differentiate the right drumstick
from the left. It is this recognition that allows gamers to
play the drums with much more true-to-life movement
than the drum game peripherals already on the market.
This new, engaging style of drum gameplay offers
opportunity both for more creativity and more
challenge. All of Power Gig’s instrument peripherals
are also compatible with all major music videogames
currently available.
Music industry superstars Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews
Band and Kid Rock have each entered into exclusive
agreements with Seven45 Studios to provide songs for
Power Gig: Rise of the SixString. The deals mark the
first time ever that songs from each of the three artists
will appear as part of a band video game. Power Gig
will feature a robust song list featuring major label
artists and emerging talent from the indie scene.
