Rock band Linkin Park has partnered with game developer Team Dakota and Microsoft Studios to create “Guilty All the Same,” a re-mixable and interactive music video and gameplay.
The platform they’re using is Project Spark, a free digital download for Xbox One and Windows 8.1. that enables users to download user-generated content uploaded by others and rework it, or create content of their own, using Xbox tools, Kinect, and SmartGlasses. They can build mountains, rivers, towns and events, including inter-character battles, and share them with other players.
“Guilty All the Same” is built around Linkin Park’s song of the same name (featuring a guest rap by Rakim), the recently released first single from their upcoming album The Hunting Party that’s due on June 14, 2014.
“Instead of a traditional music video for ‘Guilty All the Same,’ we are giving you this as a starting line for you guys to create and share,” said the band’s DJ and sampler Joe Hahn in a statement to fans posted on Google+. “We look forward to seeing what you make with it.”
