Power Gig dev Seven45 confirms layoffs, part of 'natural cycle'

Description

Power Gig: Rise of the Six String is the next evolution of band based music games. The game introduces players to a world where music is power and heroic and villainous rockers battle for control. Each player takes on the role of one of these rockers as they attempt to unite and retake the world from the oppressive rule of the Headliner. Gameplay allows up to 3 players to take on the role of a guitarist, drummer, and singer. The game utilizes a set of revolutionary new instrument peripherals headlined by the SixString Guitar Controller. The SixString evolves guitar controllers from buttons to real strings, giving players a more authentic gameplay experience and providing the option to make the experience even more real through Power Chord mode, which integrates songs’ real power chords into gameplay. The game also uses Seven45 Studios' new drum controller, which will revolutionize how games play drums as well. Both of these peripherals together give players a more true-to-life, immersive, and unique music performance experience. The game also ups the authenticity factor by featuring hit master recordings of songs from major artists whose music has never before been available to play within a music game.
