I really hated these games. As a beginning/intermediate guitarist, my brain would get confused when I'd hold something that's shaped like a guitar, but without strings.
@Kariodude Normally I hate these kinds of "biased" comments, but you sir, nailed it like a 14 year old boy and his first time with a call girl. Nailed it throughly.
I kept wondering why in my little Joystiq widget on my google homepage doesn't mention downloadable Rocksmith songs and now I get it, especially after being reminded about that "review" and I use the term loosely since "hit piece" is more accurate.
At 45 I'm well past the "fanboy" age, but Rocksmith is a heck of alot of fun. I don't do my current set list everyday I play, sometimes I play a song at random, other times I visit the arcade and others noodle around on the technique challenge and every once in a while play with the amps setup. Shoot my wife is starting to get jealous of it, she's not been jealous of a video game since Metal Gear Solid on PS1... and that was a WHILE ago...
Quickly looking at the screenshots for this, I see ALOT of wasted screen space especially that first shot with whoever that douchbag is...
Joystiq, whatever the Rocksmith development team did to peeve you guys off, I'm sorry. Hopefully they'll man up and apologize and perhaps buy you breakfast or something nice. If you tell me what it is, I'll write them a stern email and hopefully they'll set things right and you guys can give Rocksmith it's proper place.
My concern would be with the projectors themselves. To have the image projected on a smallish dome, the distance would have to be close. I've got a lovely Lumenlabs evo 1.1 (about 1600 lumens) and in my small room the 60" image is freakin' bright, which limits the time I can spend xbox geeking.
There would have to be some kind of recomendation as far as lumens to distance goes. Would it be more appropriate for a lower end projector such as the "Torpedo" or the horid "Zoombox".
Either that or this is really intended as a "this is so cool" type of thing as opposed to a serious gaming device.
