After working its way through Kickstarter, Harmonix went pretty quiet on their Amplitude reboot. That silence broke today with a flood of info. This includes a final release date of January 5th, 2016 on PS4, along with an official launch trailer, and the full song list for the game.
Amplitude is the predecessor of both Guitar Hero and Rock Band, having pioneered the rhythm game genre back in 2003, and before that with Frequency. Instead of replicating the guitar and musical instrument playing experience, Amplitude went for more of a video game style. Players moved along a track hitting notes, but it was more of a single player experience, with each instrument being played and unlocked for an amount of time.
The new Amplitude is a sort of reboot for the series, presenting the classic style, but in a slightly new and altered way. Multiplayer has been almost totally redesigned, with co-op and competitive modes being introduced. Along with this comes a new set of songs to play through, which you can check out below via the full song list.
