As if the Rock Band (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/rock-band) copy-catting market wasn't getting saturated enough with Activision's Guitar Hero IV (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/guitar-hero-iv) and it's peripheral additions, Konami thought it to be a good idea to get in on the musical fun by announcing their own clone of sorts called Rock Revolution (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/15/konami-jumps-on-the-band-wagon-with-rock-revolution/). How revolutionary.
As far as specifics go, we know that Rock Revolution is being developed by SingStar creators Zoe Mode (http://www.zoemode.com/) and is planned for a Fall release on all major platforms. Details are light though, but we we can confirm the game will feature at least 40 tracks, the ability to record your own songs, online co-op, online versus, some money making DLC is planned and a behemoth of a drum set (which we're calling "the beast") will be included. Really, this drum peripheral has six pads, a pedal and looks like ... well, we aren't sure what it looks like but it looks daunting. Go ahead, check it out (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/16/konamis-rock-revolution-drums-revealed/) for yourself. Revolutionary, no?
