FFRock + Disturbed = Yes
Since the moment I started FFR over 5 years ago, I have had a short list of milestones that I had hoped to accomplish. 500,000 members was one of them, engaging and building an online community was another. Among my list (and I am not kidding) was to have Disturbed as one of our artists featured in one of our games.
And today we have just that, full permission from the band.
Chicago being my hometown meant I had a certain admiration for Disturbed. I felt that during the mid to late 90′s and beyond, they kept rock alive in this city and across the nation. Always bringing a distinct musical and vocal flavor to everything they touched. Now here they sit, validated veterans of rock that understand how times are changing. They see the value in reaching out to online music communities and games like FFR and Rithum. This is where the youth lives and the youth needs to be exposed to their music.
Occasionally I will push an artist that we believe in over here at FFR. Today though I going to whore out the links because these guys deserve every bit of it. It’s truly an honor. Thank you to all the band members that made this possible.

Click here to visit the Disturbed myspace page (check out the FFRock Widget!)
We are also featuring the very first FFRock widget here on FFR. FFRock is a completely backwards compatible 5 key supporting widget that was built in admin castle while we spent 2 months in California. As time goes on, expect FFRock to evolve. (oh the plans we have) All of you veterans make sure you scroll down to the heavy levels! Expect some hard as hell FFR levels to follow in the near future.
You can play the Disturbed FFRock Widget HERE
Thanks to everyone who took part in this project, you know who you are. Keep watching, this is going to be a fantastic year.
Cheers,
Synthlight

Disturbed rocks! My friend LOVES Disturbed so he should be really happy.
As for FFRock, I’m not a fan of the Guitar Hero style gameplay. I usually just play the Standard files so I can stick to my 4 keys. However, gameplay aside, the design is awesome. I’d like to know who’s responsible for the wicked graphics in the FFRock widget.
Posted at 9:43pm on April 22nd, 2008
Woah, Disturbed?? I can’t believe you’ve got their permission! I can’t wait for their songs to start being made in FFR. They’re awesome! Thanks a ton, Synthlight!

@ LD: This is my 5-key setup:
A: Left ring finger
S: Left middle finger
D: Left index finger
F: Right index finger
G: Right middle finger

I used to be a huge Disturbed fan (and still enjoy listening to them here and there), so I believe this is a really good catch for FFR; probably the best band we have permission for.
Posted at 9:45pm on April 22nd, 2008
Holy crap Disturbed! Seriously one of my most favorite bands.
Posted at 9:46pm on April 22nd, 2008
Haha, I was actually just watching various interviews with them about an hour ago.
Wonderful job to all involved. Disturbed is a great band. It’s great to see them supporting music through all kinds of mediums. Rock on.
Posted at 9:52pm on April 22nd, 2008
Woah sick… another game
Posted at 9:53pm on April 22nd, 2008
Wow, This is going 2 B nice
Posted at 9:53pm on April 22nd, 2008
I had the same problem LD.
Great game though, I can see where your going with this.
Posted at 9:54pm on April 22nd, 2008
Disturbed kicks ass. I know you guys are trying to promote their new stuff, but we need some old classic Disturbed on there! Down with the Sickness, their cover of Land of Confusion…etc.
Posted at 9:59pm on April 22nd, 2008
wow nice get!
Posted at 9:59pm on April 22nd, 2008
The only complaint I have is the sync of the songs
.
Posted at 10:00pm on April 22nd, 2008
Wow. Holy Hell. Thus starts a new age of FFR.
Congratulations. You’ve blown away all expectations.

wow ffrock is amazing O_O im in love and demand moar.
Posted at 10:09pm on April 22nd, 2008
Yes, more FFRock please.
Perfect Insanity on heavy is awesome.
Posted at 10:13pm on April 22nd, 2008
I wonder how long it will take to get a guitar hero controller to work with this -_-’
I can’t get used to the keyboard lol I feel like such a noob!
Posted at 10:14pm on April 22nd, 2008
I found this a few days ago.
Posted at 10:32pm on April 22nd, 2008
blarg, are there plans for keymapping? This is hard to get used to…
Posted at 10:34pm on April 22nd, 2008
Offbeat wtf.
Posted at 10:41pm on April 22nd, 2008
I don’t think I can describe how happy I am to have Disturbed’s permission.
ps I have plans for an oni version of Perfect Insanity if anyone’s interested.
Posted at 10:44pm on April 22nd, 2008
Lets just say I have been experimenting with a custom app and hardware and leave it at that ok?
Cheers,
Synthlight
Posted at 10:45pm on April 22nd, 2008
I’m aware of the offsyncness of some of the charts… waiting until all the fixes are in on the game before i figure out whether it’s the game that made it off or just the charts.
Chaz: A guitar WILL work for this… we’ve tested it. Just need a keymapping program.
Posted at 10:46pm on April 22nd, 2008
this type of design i could have sworn i seen on an admins profile but i cant remember
i dont like the set-up though
Posted at 10:51pm on April 22nd, 2008
So how does FFRock with all its graphical goodness + awesomeness not lag, while FFR The Game sometimes does even with low-quality? (okay, my computer sucks, but my point stands)
In any case, this is great.
Posted at 10:57pm on April 22nd, 2008
ahha the graphics were made by plaugefox weren’t they? the results look like his avatar
Posted at 10:57pm on April 22nd, 2008
Tass, do you have any suggestions? I’ve never keymapped using different hardware before. What guitars has it been tested with? PS2? PS3? 360? …wii?
Posted at 11:25pm on April 22nd, 2008
Dude FFRock is so amazing, Love it plus disturbed is amazing i seen them live once and im gonna see them again during mahemfest. I love FFR!
Posted at 11:30pm on April 22nd, 2008
Chaz, I’m guessing a 360 guitar would be the easiest because they’re already USB.
Posted at 11:39pm on April 22nd, 2008
Bingo.. I have played FFRock with rockband guitar, guitar hero guitar and rockband drums. Works brilliantly but you need to have this custom proggy we are working on that sets up the keymapping for you and runs in the systray.
Cheers,
Synthlight
Posted at 11:42pm on April 22nd, 2008
oh that makes a lot of sense, haha.
Posted at 11:43pm on April 22nd, 2008
i cant wait for that!
Posted at 11:43pm on April 22nd, 2008
dude, animarithon next year with FFRock is going to be ridiculous. I’m already excited.
Posted at 11:54pm on April 22nd, 2008
I can use my guitar hero controller? Epic as hell, and thank god I bought that USB converter.
Posted at 12:17am on April 23rd, 2008
WOW
this is
EPIC
Posted at 12:21am on April 23rd, 2008
Your telling me this is compatible with the Keyboard, Guitar, AND Drumset? Holy crap, this is the most intense thing ever. o.o
Posted at 12:32am on April 23rd, 2008
holy shit i love disturbed
major lrops
Posted at 12:32am on April 23rd, 2008

Posted at 12:37am on April 23rd, 2008
Dude. How did you get full permission from Disturbed? They’re like—BIG!
Posted at 12:38am on April 23rd, 2008
PS. I call stepping Down With The Sickness…lol
Posted at 12:55am on April 23rd, 2008
Hoooly crap. This is insane. Future updates should include keymapping for the rare people (like me) who don’t use a standard QWERTY keyboard.
Posted at 4:00am on April 23rd, 2008
Dreams DO come true!
Posted at 4:13am on April 23rd, 2008
This is really fucking cool guys, keep up the good work!
Posted at 4:31am on April 23rd, 2008
Wow only one word Awesome !
I love Disturbed too and what a pleasure to see that ^^
HeHe it’s a bit hard to finished them in heavy
Posted at 4:42am on April 23rd, 2008
this is great news! disturbed is awesome! gunna get there CD through this site.
Posted at 6:50am on April 23rd, 2008
I am definitely gonna play this new game with my drum i’m counting on you for the little drummapping proggy !!! This is the kind of things that make this site #1 in the internet.
Posted at 7:22am on April 23rd, 2008
Full Permission? I’m inventing a new smiley to describe how happy I am.
o<:-R <– That’s me with a party hat on smiling idiotically.
Posted at 7:23am on April 23rd, 2008
.. jklsdfljksfdkjl
when I read this the first thing I thought was “hell yes”
this really is awesome.
congrats =O
Posted at 7:30am on April 23rd, 2008
I wonder how hard it would be to mod MRichards FFR Keymap program for FFRock?
Also, reiterating. o<:-R
Posted at 7:35am on April 23rd, 2008
wow i like this game!!
Any chance of making the “arrows” or lines, scroll up?
Posted at 7:50am on April 23rd, 2008
as mentioned above, do we have permission to use ALL of their songs??? and this is completly awesome. it has a nice Beatmania feel to it, just no scratch table. and i i like the whole concept behind the chains appearing when your combo goes up by 5.
Posted at 7:56am on April 23rd, 2008
Nice… I love…
Posted at 8:30am on April 23rd, 2008
OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
HELLLLLLL YESSSSSS!!!!!
DISTUUURRRBED!!!!!!
RRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!
Posted at 8:53am on April 23rd, 2008
Hell yeah
Posted at 12:35pm on April 23rd, 2008
Awesome. Absolutely brilliant
Posted at 12:36pm on April 23rd, 2008
OH MY DAAAAAAYS
OOOOWAH AH AH AH!!!!!
ORH ORH!
I was saying Disturbed when synth wanted suggestions !;;! NEW ALBUM OUT JUNE 3rd!
Posted at 12:37pm on April 23rd, 2008
Interesting development, congrats on this very impressive milestone!
Posted at 12:41pm on April 23rd, 2008
Not loving the widget xP
At least it looks amazing though…
Posted at 12:46pm on April 23rd, 2008
WHOOT! disturbed is an awesome band.
lets get that dragonforce permission next.
Posted at 12:58pm on April 23rd, 2008
Go to http://rodryan.thebuzz.com/pages/linksandguests.html
Under April 23, 2008, look for where it says “Disturbed Video Game”. I sent them a different web address to replace the rithum.com one. Synth should be interviewed by that station. The DJ is so cool.
Posted at 1:06pm on April 23rd, 2008
Wow. This is just awesome.
Also cool that AHK scripts work with it. (brb plugging in guitar)
The chain graphics are a little distracting, but I’ll get used to them, and they’re cool anyways. I think it also quits early at the end of the song, but that might be just me. It seems to start to fade a second or so before the last note goes by.
Posted at 1:25pm on April 23rd, 2008
….No.
I do not agree to this… thats all I’m going to say. XD
Posted at 4:04pm on April 23rd, 2008
WOW YES I LOVE IT. Anyhthing other than Disturbed yet though?
Posted at 4:41pm on April 23rd, 2008
LMAO offsync and guess what… theres INVISBLE ARROWS (keys w.e) but love it STRICKEN!
Posted at 5:09pm on April 23rd, 2008
i don’t like this at all…
Posted at 5:54pm on April 23rd, 2008
awesome, even if it is offsync
Posted at 6:46pm on April 23rd, 2008
So is Disturbed just using FFR as promotion for new stuff or do we have full access and your just starting with the new stuff? Eitherway this is sweet. Even if Disturbed stole Land of Confusion. They did it well, it just isn’t the same…
Posted at 8:20pm on April 23rd, 2008
Could you put the keymapping program on the front page when you’re done working with it? It would make our lives so much easier.
Posted at 8:30pm on April 23rd, 2008
the song seems to be a half second off….
Posted at 10:18pm on April 23rd, 2008
How would one go about getting permission to step a band’s music? Say Interpol? I would love to step some of their stuff. Who all do you have to ask and how…
Posted at 12:05am on April 24th, 2008
I’m with Swabber on this one.
Posted at 12:08am on April 24th, 2008
@ TD_fendergirlie, having Interpol in this game would be the best thing ever.
Posted at 12:38am on April 24th, 2008
i dont know if anyone has mentioned this, but i found two glitches, first is the song ends a little early, that or i suck at the end… lol
but the there is secret arros like in old ffr with this one too, cause when you start the song, i pressed the a key and it started my combo… you might want to fix that
Posted at 12:39am on April 24th, 2008
arrows*
Posted at 1:25am on April 24th, 2008
I like the artist, the concept, and the game play. Excellent work you guys. But I do have a few comments about this.
Lets start with the bad. Theres no right way to put your fingers on the keys to make it work. Maybe have it just four, or have the fifth the space bar, as it is very difficult to use five fingers on the same space on the Keyboard.
And to end on a good note: I really like the fact that if you break your combo, the chains on the walls come down, showing you that you broke the chain. And the greater your combo grows, the more the chain grows.
Again, great work everyone here.
Posted at 1:26am on April 24th, 2008
Also, the notes to music ratio is a little off. The beats will come about 1 second before you hit the note, forcing the song to end earlie. And thats my final notes on this new game.:D
Posted at 6:20am on April 24th, 2008
I’m getting better at this!
Posted at 7:54am on April 24th, 2008
Guys, It’s just like playing guitar hero. I just lift the keyboard up. The only problem is that a-s-d-f-g are too far up to reach comfortably, But i still manage to pass the heavy songs.
Posted at 9:08am on April 24th, 2008
I can’t imagine how many jacks are going to be in this game…
Posted at 11:26am on April 24th, 2008
As in they’re really bad.
Posted at 11:33am on April 24th, 2008
Wow I can’t believe there’s only like one or two people who don’t like Disturbed…
:shakes head:
Posted at 11:43am on April 24th, 2008
alovepwns face or w/e
Disturbed have talent. They have a good sound and are good at what they do. I don’t see why you have to knock the band, just because you don’t like them, it doesn’t mean they ‘suck dick’.
Posted at 12:52pm on April 24th, 2008
pavonin: likely not as many as you’d think… the focus of the game is still keyboard, not guitar.
Posted at 3:47pm on April 24th, 2008
man, please, please make this grow, this game is amazing and once you guys fix the bugs and expand the ideas and bands more, man…this is gonna be amazing (and it already is)
Posted at 8:23pm on April 24th, 2008
OMG DISTURBED IS AWESOME!
Posted at 10:31pm on April 24th, 2008
Cool, it’s up

omg the widget is an exact resemblance of guitar hero lol
Posted at 5:54pm on April 25th, 2008
I think it’s more like Rock Band.
Posted at 8:59pm on April 25th, 2008
GRRR That ReRicked song….I JUST BEEN FLIPPIN RICK ROLLED! CURSE YOU ALL!! IM ACTUALLY NOT GONNA PLAY THAT SONG ANYMORE. #1 MOST HORRID SONG OF ALL TIME.

Posted at 2:19pm on April 26th, 2008
I hate the 5 key deal.
Posted at 5:22pm on April 26th, 2008
nobody likes this widget but disturbed is a good band
Posted at 12:40am on April 27th, 2008
Will a Guitar Hero guitar work with FFR R1?
Posted at 3:39pm on May 17th, 2009
DISTURBED!! YES!
