Rock Band 2
We all knew it was going to happen, but it has officially been announced. The game will release in September (before GH:WT). IGN's interview with Dan Teasdale keeps many details in the dark (saving the big stuff for E3 maybe?) but also sheds light on some important issues.
-The Rock Band franchise will be the first to have cross-title DLC, so all of your purchases up to this point will still be valid and RB1 will still have DLC support. -UI has improved for party-style playing. -Online BWT is hinted at -A music creator similar to GH:WT's seems to not be included, although it seems like a project that they are working on. -Instruments are said to have been improved. All RB1 compatible instruments will still be compatible. -An instrument+vocal mode seems to be in the works. -A freestyle mode is hinted at. -120 songs including AC/DC!!! We all knew it was going to happen, but within 3 months? Nice job, HMX. |

Rock Band's tracklist is very different, namely because there's only two songs that I don't play ever (Paranoid is one, Day Late Dollar Short is two). I play almost the entire disk. This versus GH, where I never play over half of their tracks. Yeah, GH's song list is way better. Also, besides the difficult to see hammer-ons, RB's interface was flawless. No point changing it. |
Re: Rock Band 2 Official
I hate the rockband guitar and the way the hammer ons are, hence why I only play the drums.
Rock Band can have a lot of other good stuff, I downloaded all the Metallica, Disturbed and Avenged Sevenfold songs from the PS store, they need more of that, instead of all this Pixies and Weezer bull**** easy crap. But now that i think of it, Rock Bands songs do own the **** out of GH o.o |

Also, some dude just posted on RB SH this list: Chop Suey - Soad One Step Closer - Linkin Park Peace Sells - Megadeth Testify - RAGM Everlong - Foo Fighters American Woman - The guess who? (I think) White Wedding - Billy Idol You Oughta Know - Alanis Morissette Aqua Lung - Jethro Tull Bad Reputation - Joan Jett We got the beat - ??? Nirvana - Drain You Man in the Box - Alice in Chains Spoon Man - Soundgarden from his playtest (HMX invited Boston-area players to playtest "a new 4-instrument game" before they had officially announced RB2). Either he's lying or he just violated a NDA and will get sued for the leak :) Either way that list is pretty kickass, and follows logically with the bands who are just now getting into the RB/GH scene (as in the ones already announced for GHWT and RR). |

Re: Rock Band 2 Official
2 songs there that are good. Megadeth and Chop Suey

Re: Rock Band 2 Official
:O
if you don't think Spoon Man and Man in the Box are good... well... you hurt my feelings :( All of the other stuff is decent, good for people who like those bands at least. EDIT: also from G4 (cap'd through TiVo) Panic Attack - Finger Eleven/Dream Theater? Chop Suey - System of a Down Give It Away - Red Hot Chili Peppers Everlong - Foo Fighters Kids in America - Kim Wilde Ace of Spades - Motorhead Hello There - Cheap Trick Any Way You Want It - Journey Pinball Wizard - The Who which seemed to be a setlist picture (AtST and MtaF had the DLC icon beside them) |
Re: Rock Band 2 Official

you just don't have good taste in music. I heard that there might be a Bass Solo Tour. |

I'm glad SoaD is gonna be getting in on the mix, though. Just the other day I was blasting Toxicity and I was reminded of how amazing the songs would be to play. Literally every single song on that album would be fun as hell, and the only downside I can see is the vocals being hard or not as fun (particularly parts where Mr. Tankian and Mr. Malakian share vocal duty, or the screaming). ps i just want to echo what others have said: RB has the MOST AMAZING OVERALL SOUNDTRACK EVER, while GH tends to have some great songs and a ton of crap. |

When you take that into account... I really hope that there's a 6 pad set or a second pedal. Having a drum update and two-hundred tracks to start the game with is going to kick ridiculous amounts of ass. |
Re: Rock Band 2 Official
I actually had not considered what the in game player plays. Aside from the scrolling notes and UI, the screen could be black for all I know.
