Rockstar’s latest, Beaterator, to hit the PSP this September
Next month, Rockstar and Take-Two interactive will be releasing their latest PSP title, Beaterator. The title was developed by the same studio that brought you the portable versions of Grand Theft Auto, namely Vice City Stories, Liberty City Stories, and the recently released Chinatown Wars. The new game will be available via the Playstation Network as well as on UMD, most likely in preparation for the upcoming release of the PSPgo.
Unlike those other titles mentioned however, Beaterator is more of a music suite which takes many of the tools you’d find in a studio and throws them into a music generator, making it easily usable by anyone. This allows you to easily create beats on the go. Famed music producer Timberland apparently contributed to the direction of the project, providing insight and lending his experience to the development of the title.
“I’ve worked closely with Rockstar Games to make something completely unique,” said Timbaland. “Beaterator is like taking my music studio and turning it into a suite of tools anyone can use. We can’t wait to hear the beats people make and share with the world.”
Apparently it was originally created as a flash application on the Rockstar website, but recently they decided to build on that, as it gained popularity. The title should be avaliable in North America on September 29th.
