'Rock Band 4' Songs: Harmonix Wants You To Choose! Cast Your Vote Now!

The "Rockband" franchise is now confirmed to hit the PS4 and fans are in for a treat as Harmonix wants the fans to choose the songs to be inlcuded in the game's playlist. 

Harmonix posted a voting poll on their website to know what fans would like to see in their upcoming game.

In an interview with IGN, Harmonix COO Alex Rigopulos said that the company is aiming to give the gamers the same "jamming" experience from previous games to "Rock Band 4." However, he stressed that Harmonix is not planning to alter any gameplay feature.

"There is an existing gameplay core that is very powerful and very fun, and we don't want to tamper with that core," the co-founder said. "At the same time, we need to bring something new to the experience."

For gamers who own instrument devices for the previous device, Harmonix announced that it will still be compatible with the new "Rock Band 4" game, noting that the company wants to retain the fun factor the previous games gave but with an added twist that is yet to be revealed.

"None of the games in the genre really delivered a lot of innovation, or maybe the right kind of innovation in the experience during that period," Rigopulos said. "Consumers want something new. We view it as a responsibility to deliver that innovation this time around."

"Harmonix is working tirelessly to ensure that gamers can make use of legacy music and DLC that they purchased last time around and so [too], we are doing all we can to try and make last-gen hardware compatible with Rock Band 4."
