Lipsynching in Videogames?
Here’s an interesting bit of news that was released today - Bret Michaels, the lead singer from Poison, will appear in Guitar Hero III. When you play the Poison song “Talk Dirty to Me”, Michaels will appear in your band as the lead singer. However if you look carefully at the news release you’ll notice this tidbit:
“Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock will feature the song “Talk Dirty to Me,” as made famous by Poison…”
“Made famous by” is Guitar Hero lingo that means that the version of a song appearing in the game is actually a cover and not a recording by the original artist. This means that Bret Michaels’ character in the game will effectively be lipsynching to music sung by an anonymous singer trying to emulate Michaels’ voice!
