SingStar free-to-play doesn't look any different to SingStar now, really. 'There's no plans to do another SingStar Dance in the immediate future, no,' stated Bruce. Well, it does as Dance Star Party, but not as SingStar Dance. It was fun (if you had a massive room with space for people to sing and dance) but the crossover doesn't have a future. Sony tried tapping into the Move market before with SingStar Dance, which combined the singing game with Move dancing. 'Oh buy another one buy another one.' Idiots.Įvery owner of a PlayStation Move owns a PlayStation Eye out of necessity, so Sony's broadened its SingStar horizons with one stroke. It's really great for those party experiences when there's loads of people around and loads of people are playing at the end of the night and everyone's just singing - it might be described as singing, others may describe it as shouting - into the camera.' Guests are a pain - there's never a song they like. 'Obviously it's not the two-player, two microphone experience,' Bruce told me, 'but people can have a go and get singing and see if they like it. The Eye is further from your mouth and is meant for groups of people to collectively bellow into rather than as a focused input device. You'll still want to use a microphone if you're fussy about getting accurate SingStar scores. 'But there's nothing in the immediate future that's going to change there,' Bruce said. Shops are essential for shifting SingStar microphones, and inviting other devices to the party doesn't mean Sony has given up iterating on official SingStar kit. 'It was stronger on PlayStation 2 I guess it's fair to say.' Chris Bruce, senior producer 'We'll always be looking at opportunities that come along, and if we think we've got a great opportunity to bring something to market then we'll definitely be doing that.' But there is 'nothing I could possibly mention at the moment' in development now. So is this the end of SingStar in a box in a shop? 'It was stronger on PlayStation 2 I guess it's fair to say.' 'We want to go back and recreate the success that we had on PlayStation 2, for sure,' Bruce said. But it didn't have the same impact on PlayStation 3, and karaoke was usurped by dancing games as the nation's favourite party pursuit. SingStar, along with games like Buzz!, opened PlayStation 2 to the masses and sold by the bucket load. 'It's really just the next step to broaden the audience and to get it out to everyone and get everyone singing again,' senior producer Chris Bruce told Eurogamer. It's Sony's way of opening SingStar up to the masses.

As will official PlayStation Bluetooth headsets and non-SingStar branded USB microphones. But if you do have those they will still work.

Support for PlayStation Eye as a microphone has been added, so you won't need a traditional microphone peripheral to play.

SingStar will be a free download but won't come with any songs - those you buy at the SingStore (prices won't change). This should hit either today or tomorrow. The free SingStar XMB application will appear in the next PS3 firmware update. Yes SingStar is going free-to-play: Sony has confirmed it and I've interviewed the senior producer.
