Harmonix Launches Kickstarter for Amplitude Remake
Harmonix has turned to Kickstarter to fund an Amplitude remake.
They’re looking for $775,000 to fund the remake of the 2003 cult classic. I may be wrong in my facts, but I think that’s a lot of money.
At the time of writing they’ve already received $140,028, with 17 days left to go.
For those of you who don’t know, the original Amplitude was a musical rhythm action game that paved the way for the likes of Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
When answering the question they asked themselves, ‘Is it a sequel?’, they said:
“Our aim with this Kickstarter is to be humble in our expectations. The current goal is to make a faithful Amplitude “HD” – the core experience from PS2® re-developed for modern gaming devices. We certainly have LOTS of crazy ideas that could blow this concept out. Your contribution, feedback, and community input will decide where this project will land and how many crazy ideas we can incorporate!”
The reboot will be coming to PS3 and PS4 if funded, with a Vita port one of the stretch goals. Check out the pitch below.

Hi all, I'm Dan 'Nailz' Naylor, News Editor for the site (and I've just realised there's a pleasing alliteration to that). Almost all the news posts you see on the site are either by me or written because I say so, and we try to make them a little more interesting than a regurgitated press release so I hope you think we're succeeding.
Normally I'll be sinking my time into the latest RPG, but I'll play almost anything, with racing games a particular favourite. Owner of a Wii U, I have no regrets purchasing the console, though Smash Bros. hasn't left the disc tray since Christmas.
You can find me on Twitter and PSN as MacShanks, and feel free to hit me up if you have any questions, queries or feedback!
