Rock Band 3's already been confirmed as Harmonix's next project, but is it the only one? Probably not, and if Game Informer's sources are correct, the developer may also be working on a Natal-based dancing game.
True or not, you don't need to like the idea, but it might be the best move for the developer. I can't explain the worldwide popularity of Ubisoft's Just Dance, but its success has proven one thing: people want to dance. Harmonix recently applied for licenses for a number of danceable tracks, including Cascada's "Evacuate the Dance Floor," Timbaland's "The Way I Are," and… an M.O.P. track? I guess it's danceable, although I've never seen either of the dudes from M.O.P. tear up the dance floor.
I've pinged Harmonix for comment, but my guess is they will have none. For now. But Microsoft's Project Natal reveal is only 10 days away, on Sunday, June 13. We'll keep you posted.

Love, Ramm.
Also, inb4Xzyliac laps this up. -_-
Also, also, June 13th is my birthday. IT'S RUINED NOW!
Then again, no one game is worth $150, especially a dancing one...
*inhales* Ok, all it would take to make Natal a runaway commercial success, while at the same time something I absolutely despise, would be the following:
A dancing game. A Cheerleading game. A Colorguard game (for the mutants). A Karate game (realistic, actual exercises). A Rhythm game (think Space Channel 5). And a basic fitness game.
Those are all easy to execute, cheap to produce, and the opposite of what I want in my videogames. Kudos, Microsoft. Kudos.
But, but...it would be Space Channel 5! My love for the series would war with my desire to not look like a complete idiot while trying to pull off Ulala's moves.
The fuck do I care about a dance game?
And who the fuck wants a dev to collapse because they make a game you don't like? Melodramatic, much?
Dear EA Sports, I don't mind Madden but I hate NBA Live. Please die.
Jesus fuck Rammstein. Nothing HMX does can satisfy you. Just admit you're an anti-fanboy already. Like a fucking dance game is hurting someone.
Dear Listerene, I like original mint but I hate orange. Now I know I can just buy mint but the mere fact that orange exist makes me wish the heads of your company are tied down, beaten to an inch of their lives, and forced to watch their family die before stab and paralyzed. Because I hate the knowledge that orange exist despite the fact that it doesn't affect me at all.
Facetiousness, learn it.
I don't hate Harmonix, I hate the idiots who buy their shit as if it was Jizz from God, much like Apple sheeple.
Keep your beloved rhythm games, I'll be over here playing real games. You know, ones that involve more depth than what is essentially an overrated acid trip. HERP A DERP PURDDY NOTES FALL DOWN!
I know you had a bad day today but my sentiments about HMX have always been tongue-in-cheek. I thought you knew this, bro?
NO H8
Dancing, ball kicking and a paedo simulator - great line up so far!
I'll stick with Move I think, Socom, Killzone and Gran Turismo - or - dancing, ball kicking and paedo sim, hmmmmmmmmmm difficult one that one.
Don't worry, Nick. "Ante Up" tears holes in your shoes in ways 2D platform game spike traps could only ever dream of. It's that great.
Dude, you're so right! Things where you kick balls and dance are stupid. And for giirls. Yuck! No one has ever wanted or bought a game like that. Natal will *definitely* fail. No question. Hardcore titles with motion controls are where the mass market is at! No wonder titles like Dead Space Extraction, Red Steel 2, Mad World, and House of the Dead Overkill outsold those boring kiddie, girlie games like Just Dance and Mario. You've always had your thumb on the pulse of this industry, I've followed your comments, and you've always been so right.
