Rumor: LEGO Rock Band in development
According to videogaming247 and their super secret "source", LEGO franchise developer Traveller's Tales is currently hard at work on their latest brick game: LEGO Rock Band.
Supposedly, during a Radio One interview, a UK Traveller's Tales employee confirmed that they're working on a new LEGO game and that it's releasing in 2009, but exact specifics were withheld. That game being LEGO Rock Band, or so says videogaming247 and their sources who claim their information is "100 percent correct." LEGOs and Rock Band? It's an odd mix, but it could be tasty. Kinda like potato chip and peanut butter sandwiches.

Sounds like a very bad mix?
I won't buy it at least...

Sounds like Rock Band. With Lego characters. Can't think of what else they'd do. Except Lego guitars, that would be cool!

you sure its not just a joke?(lego halo)

I despise people who make Lego plural.
It's a brand name not a noun.
I have lots of Lego.
I have lots of Lego Bricks.
Deezul @ Jan 4th 2009 10:52AM
Nerd powers, activate!
Then you should know the proper spelling is LEGO bricks, with LEGO in all caps.
Go to the LEGO website, see for yourself.
Back on topic, I'm gonna say no. Why not just have some DLC that allows you to make your players look like LEGO figures?
And now I must go get the bricks to make my own LEGO drum set as pictured.

"I despise people who make Lego plural"
You really need a hobby if you have the time to add people to your "despise" list over something so absolutely trivial. Let it go, man.

How do you live with all that sand in vagina?

Legos.
Suck on that.
Boff @ Jan 5th 2009 4:35AM
I have to be honest and it does annoy me a bit too! (Not enough to write a comment on it though. Oh hang on...)
Pez @ Jan 4th 2009 10:36AM
If this is true they gotta have Fell In Love Witha Girl by the White Stripes. Hehe. But somehow I get the feeling this rumor is false.
slycooper_rocker [patapon defence force] @ Jan 4th 2009 11:11AM
nah if this is true they won't have it. jack asked lego to include some bricks to make them with every single and they said no and then it became a hit and they asked if they could do it and he basically said f*** off. a guy could wish though.
Dean KraZ @ Jan 4th 2009 10:38AM
this sounds so stupid whats the point
Deck @ Jan 4th 2009 11:17AM
I really liked Lego Star Wars. Mostly because I am a huge Star Wars and therefore it was a fun way to play through the stories.
Though these Lego things are getting ridiculous. And this is just going way to far.
Tann @ Jan 4th 2009 11:36AM
I honestly cannot see the point in doing this!
LegendaryRedass @ Jan 4th 2009 11:54AM
Perhaps it will be some sort of Rock Band themed platformer and music will be your weapon against the oppressive confines of athority.
+++volume+++ @ Jan 4th 2009 7:29PM
Now that would be outrageously sweeet!
Huey2k2 @ Jan 4th 2009 12:39PM
OK I've been a big fan of all the LEGO games so far... but this is just getting stupid if it's true.
Rock Band with LEGO characters? Sounds exciting?
Bobluling @ Jan 4th 2009 12:53PM
Fail, no other word for it.
Studley @ Jan 4th 2009 1:04PM
Plenty of good song options for Lego Rock Band.
Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall
Starship - We Built This City
Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees
The Kinks - Plastic Man
Coldplay - Yellow
The Maccabees - Lego

I can see this being a Xbox Live Arcade game...that would be pretty cool just release a XBLA Lego Rock Band, still play like the real Rock Band but just with lego characters in the back ground, have 10 or so songs in it charge 800 points and support it with downloadable songs and you got yourself a winner.
Make this a full retail game and you just have yourself a failure and you have one of the worst ideas ever.
Spike @ Jan 4th 2009 5:45PM
i would consider buying more plastic instruments, times like this i wish i got music games on the 360 first
Roan @ Jan 4th 2009 1:24PM
I will punch myself in the throat if this happens.
Perno @ Jan 4th 2009 1:32PM
I'd pay more to see that than for LEGO Rock Band.
Stevets01 @ Jan 4th 2009 1:28PM
Where's LEGO Back to the Future already?
josh @ Jan 4th 2009 2:17PM
i heard another rumor that the next lego game was going to be "lego harry potter" which i think is more realistic then a "lego rock band"...
Kenneth Sy Su @ Jan 4th 2009 4:07PM
WTF!!
This makes me feel like punching babies
lasersanchez @ Jan 4th 2009 4:38PM
I understand the appeal of Lego movie/comic license games, but I don't really understand what the appeal of this would be.
yo Naturale @ Jan 4th 2009 5:18PM
LEGO my wallet.
Darkharmony @ Jan 4th 2009 5:54PM
I don't care if it's true or not I'm just getting tired of all the music games, enough is enough. We've had something like 5 in a year I think? Can't they just add stuff to these games with DLC?
Perfectance @ Jan 4th 2009 8:56PM
Lego Guitar Hero yes, Rock Bank no. I don't buy it. This goes against the principles Harmonix was built on. (pun intended)
Mikemyerz666 @ Jan 4th 2009 10:31PM
thats a stupid ass rumor, so you'd have to buy rock band again just to have LEGO characters, dumb idea, keep with the LEGO Harry Potter.
Roxxorsmash @ Jan 5th 2009 8:16PM
Why can't they just make a LEGO game where you build things?
zapot8 @ Jan 13th 2009 1:53AM
i would so buy that provided you could build the instruments out of bricks.
