RockBand 3 Introduces New Technology to the Videogame Industry.

Music and Rhythm video games started in the late 90s with the introduction of PaRappa the Rapper and Dance Dance Revolution (DDR). Since then the new ways to play video games especially in music games has changed dramatically. In the mid 2000s Guitar Hero was introduced and sold over 4 million copies with its first release. In 2007 Rock Band was released. It introduced a new way of playing Rhythm games. You can now play drums, bass, guitar, or sing.

On October 26th 2010 Rock Band 3 will be released. The developers of the game have worked with Fender as well as the developers that produce MIDI products. They have finally made a game that teaches you how to play an instrument. The drum controller will have 2 active bass pedals, 4 working drum pads, and 3 working cymbals. The guitar controller that was made by Fender with the help of MIDI productions will have 6 working strings and a special pickup in the guitar that the video game can read. The game cas 2 different modes that you can either enjoy the game like the original 2 games or the new version teaches you how to play the instrument. The new game will also feature a 22 key keyboard.
