Harmonix predicts a future where rhythm games won’t need consoles
Game consoles have been inundated by a whole slew of rhythm game releases in the past few years, and there are even more on the way. Harmonix, arguably the party most responsible for the rhythm game surge, thinks that this will stop in the future, but only because gamers won’t even need a console to play rhythm games on.
Game consoles have been inundated by a whole slew of rhythm game releases in the past few years, and there are even more on the way. Harmonix, arguably the party most responsible for the rhythm game surge, thinks that this will stop in the future, but only because gamers won’t even need a console to play rhythm games on.
“I think you could foresee a future where maybe you donÂ’t even have a console,” said Harmonix’s Josh Randall, speaking to VideoGamer.com. “Your instrument can have all these songs and you just plug it into your TV.
“IÂ’m sure it [the genre] is going to start to move in weird ways that no-oneÂ’s even thought of yet. … Outside of Harmonix there are people doing interesting stuff in the mobile space,” he added. “ItÂ’s going to be interesting when it all splinters apart and then comes back together in some form weÂ’ve not even thought of yet.”
