Guest Matt Boch of Harmonix joins Kevin to talk about the latest Rock Band experience that they are using to truly take you to center stage with their first VR offering simply called Rock Band VR.
Available soon on the Oculus Rift, Rock Band VR will use the upcoming Oculus Rift Touch controllers which attach to most existing Rock Band guitars to let you rock out to a set list of over 50 songs when it launches while looking out at that crowd in ways you've never been able to do so without physically being on stage.
We are really looking forward to this experience and would love to hear your thoughts on Rock Band VR so make sure to let us know what you think.
