I was excited about Lips when info about it was first leaked last month -- despite visions of Frank-N-Furter's dramatic red mouth from the Rocky Horror Picture Show (thanks for that, Jim), I'm a sucker for any game in which I get to wield a microphone. In fact, throw myself and fellow editors Nick Chester and Chad Concelmo in a room with a karaoke machine and a few bottles of alcohol, and we'd be some gleeful sons of b*tches.

Thankfully, I'm not judging the level of fun I will have with the game on these first pics posted over at Gamekyo. The mics look pretty glitzy, which is fine, but the actual ad features an guy making an incredibly goofy face with four overly excited friends wearing similar shades of the same expression. I hate faked enthusiasm. No guys, we're really excited! REALLY EXCITED!

Screw it, all I care about is that you can upload your own songs. For all I know, I might look equally douchebaggy wailing away in the privacy of my own home. Someone ought to come take some pictures of me so I'll stop picking on other people. More on this title next week, after we get a chance to rock it out proper at E3.

The guy in the middle has no lips at all. Irony?

VampireChrist

pretty sick light-up mic

Stella Wong

I'm really curious on how this one will work out. I love any games that lets me sing my own songs.

Bob Muir

So...what's so special about this, other than singing your own songs? Or is it just more Singstar/Karaoke Revolution? Seems disappointing so far.

Agent Orange

If you're referring to the red lips in the opening song, those are actually Magenta's (Patricia Quinn) while the lips used for the movie posters and the box art is Columbia (Little Nell). Though I find them far less frightening than Curry's red lips, seeing as what they were attached to. *shudder*

Teta

Do u remember Corky from "The life goes on" show?


Now check the guy from the middle.

iNiS is the same developer who made Gitaroo Man and the Ouendan/EBA series(s).

Nice to find out this is their mystery 360 title.

Slick Icarus

I wonder how accurately it will generate the "note highway". If the tech is there; I can't wait to rock the mic to some anime themes and some Led Zep. If not, FAIL.

topgeargorilla

vertical meat lips.

Conrad Zimmerman

@Agent Orange: Creepier still is that the voice given to those lips is that of Richard O'Brien.

Ooooh, I can't wait for the crapload of failvids to hit youtube when this comes out.

Batthink

The fella second from the left, he looks like he made a grab for the guy in the middle's crotch.

Maybe that's why he looks so excited... >_>
