Sony has announced a music festival simulator game for the PlayStation Vita. In BigFest, you’ll be able to “create and manage the ultimate music festival,” involving discovering new bands and creating your own lineups. You’ll be able to attend other players’ festivals and engage in some kind of co-op play.
BigFest was first spotted in January. In a PlayStation Blog post by Steve Oldacre, managing director at On The Metal studios, BigFest is described as follows:
“The game’s essence is “your music, your way”. You browse and select music from a large online music catalogue, which will be regularly updated. The music you choose is more than the soundtrack to your game though. You’ll be promoting your bands, taking them from unknowns and making them super stars, giving them the tools to do their job and sharing your efforts for them with your friends – who will have an influence on how well you do. And the game will be using real bands, so along with having lots of fun, the game will be breaking real bands in the real world.”
