Timbaland talks with USA Today about Beaterator and Rockstar
Timbaland talks with USA Today about Beaterator and Rockstar
It seems as though every second day we're seeing some news or a video for Beaterator, the game which for over two years since it's original announcement was as quiet as a church mouse. Now there appears to be news floating around about it just about everywhere, even in the USA Today newspaper. Earlier this week USA Today had an exclusive interview with Timbaland to discuss the game:
"Beaterator isn't about pushing buttons A, B, A, B," says Timbaland, "It teaches how music is made and lets you be the person making the music. Young songwriters and producers, or those who just want to experiment, have never had such a deep tool to make music while on the go."
He also discussed Rockstar, and briefly described what it was like working for them...
"When Rockstar approached me to work with them on Beaterator, they warned me it'll take a couple of years to do this right," recalls Timbaland, "They weren't kidding. I can't tell you how many times I went into the studio to record new sounds, so I hope my fans will appreciate all the work."
Seems that certainly a large amount of work has been put into the game by Timbaland, and I for one have to say I am impressed. It's always terrific seeing the mainstream superstars we know and love working on the games we're anticipating, it's one of the things that has made the voice acting in the Grand Theft Auto game's so spectacular.
The game is shaping up to become rather popular, and we're all interested in seeing what else Rockstar has in store for us over the coming weeks. We'll keep you posted as always!
