Sounds interesting, it being f2p is a cause for concern though...

I think FTP is this games biggest asset. What we have here is a game that promotes unsigned bands. That means lots of new songs and tunes to use in the Sharefactory, which then promotes them further. If Sony play this right, it could be a huge franchise with far reaching implications for any aspiring artists. There is absolutely no reason why you couldn't promote your own band or your friends bands.

Yeah but as someone interested in playing it it just makes me wonder how they are going to monetise it. It could be either a game worth playing or not, depending on how they do that.

I think it's designed as a promotional app and the only DLC will perhaps be the locations and stage settings, but those won't in any way hinder the heart of the game. Perhaps in the futrure, when there are bands that become successful because of this, you'll be able to download tracks (or even albums) to other audio devices for a small fee set by the artist.

Like I said, if this catches on, it could become the Youtube of unsigned bands.
