Those of you picking up Lips, a warning. Those pretty motion-control microphones with the flashing LEDs are incompatible with other music games that use USB mikes, but may in the future.
Talking to MTV Multiplayer, Lips creator and Inis developer Keiichi Yano mentioned that the Lips accelerometer microphone will not work with any other music games at launch, but is optimistic that it’ll be compatible with other titles in the future.“It’s not something we can do, obviously [the games would require a patch]. I mean, I hope so for Rock Band, Guitar Hero. It won’t work out of the box but it’s relatively easy to kind of get it going.”
C’mon guys. We have Guitar Hero/Rock Band instrumentality love now. Lips should join the detente.
