Beaterator is the music mixer video game from Rockstar Games for the PSP console. Now Rockstar Games has announced that Beaterator will release for the PSP and the PlayStation Network in late September to North America and early October to Europe. The game is being co-produced by Timbaland.
“Beaterator is a very natural progression for us,” remarked Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “Music is incredibly important to us here at Rockstar, and we believe that there are many people out there who share that passion and will be excited about creating music of their own.”
“I’ve worked closely with Rockstar Games to make something completely unique,” commented noted music producer 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.”
The game initially took the form of a simple application on Rockstar’s website in 2005. The music mixing game now features thousands of sounds and loops from both Rockstar and Timbaland. Beaterator will be released for North America on September 29, 2009 and for Europe on October 2, 2009. Prices have not been mentioned.
