Udvikleren bag Rock Band er på vej med musikskydespil

Vi havde ikke forventet at Harmonix nyeste projekt ville være et skydespil, men omvendt kan vi ikke sige at den kreative udvikler har for vane at skuffe, og derfor glælder vi os blot til at høre mere om det hele.

Udvikleren har slået sig sammen med Hidden Path Entertainment, der tidligere stod for udviklingen af Defence Grid: The Awakening og Counter Strike: Global Offensive. Planen er foreløbig at lave et skydespil der lader dig bruge våben der alle er fokuserede omkring lyd, som kan kombineres med andre spil og danne hvad udvikleren selv bekriver som bands. Yderligere bliver det hele gratis at spille og så kan man endda allerede skrive sig op til alphaen på denne side.

CVG har yderligere fået disse keypoints sendt fra udvikleren:

• Music-driven FPS gameplay - Music matters. Chroma features innovative first-person shooter mechanics that tie the game's soundtrack directly to combat, traversal, and more.
• Music is your weapon - Unleash streams of sound and music with your arsenal and bring the musical landscape to life in battle! From deep wobbling bass to the crunch of an electric guitar, crushing metal drums to poppy synths, choose a weapon load-out that reflects your musical tastes and personal style and take your sounds into battle.
• Band together - Your team is your band: Join up with your friends and battle for glory.. Master multiple classes, each with their own unique musical gameplay mechanics and perks, and lead your team to victory.
• Conquer shifting terrain - "Change Ups" at major musical moments dramatically alter the landscape of the battlefield in real time both physically and strategically, raising sniper towers, adding cover, and more in sync with the music.
• Free-to-play, but not "pay-to-win" - Free to jump in and play with deep customization, but smartly designed to preserve a fun and fair experience for all players.
