Re: Rock Band 2 Official

They could have atleast changed or improved one large aspect of the game..

They still haven't unveiled the drums yet, and they did say there would be a specific improvement to it. I just hope they charted the old songs for DLC with a tablature-type chart that the game would interpret rather than a straight hardcode. This way, they can take the notes the DLC had and put them on different colored pads if it makes more sense on a more robust drum kit (which I am sure they have, even if it's not as robust as I've been so vocal about my desires for).

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.

things

The tabs thing is actually brilliant. After all... you do see that the drummer in-game is ALWAYS playing the correct piece of the kit, regardless of what the pads are doing. They even have it down to details like hi-hat pulsing, open hat, bells on cymbals...

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.

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.

Good one, my taste in music cannot be wrong, because everyone has a different taste in music.

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

Now this list has some good music, I don't think Panic Attack is going to be Dream theater, prob Finger Eleven. Dream Theater would be the **** on Drums since Mike Portnoy uses lots of double bass.

which seemed to be a setlist picture (AtST and MtaF had the DLC icon beside them)

Looks more like a download center picture mixed in with a setlist:

Look how creative they are, what amazing new graphics and its not the same exact thing at all amirite.

Why fix what's not broken? Also, you guys need to know that it'll be released for Xbox 360 first, from what I've heard.

Re: Rock Band 2 Official

Also, besides the difficult to see hammer-ons, RB's interface was flawless. No point changing it.

Hyperspeed

Re: Rock Band 2 Official

For those who don't know, Rock Band has it's own version of hyper speed. As you move up through the difficulty, the scroll becomes faster. Aside from maybe ride the lightning the scroll is never tight enough to warrant the use of hyperspeed...

Unless of course you're too used to it, then yeah.


By the way.. It's a nice day for a White Wedding.

Re: Rock Band 2 Official

All of the GH games do that^^ but I think RB's was slightly faster than other games, though. An option would still be nice, though, and I think enough people have complained that it will be added in some capacity.

Omg no way, we did not know that.......... Every GH game and rockband obviously get faster as you go into the harder diffs..

An option for hyperspeed is needed.

Re: Rock Band 2 Official

I hear that hyperspeed mods may be available for this game.

Re: Rock Band 2 Official

I'd still rather buy GH4, Guitar Hero always has better music.

Aerosmith is not good music.

Re: Rock Band 2 Official

Aerosmith is not good music.

probably the truest first post i've read

Re: Rock Band 2 Official

Aerosmith is not good music.

I meant the regular game, not their mini versions like Aerosmith, that band has no business in a GH game, especially having their own game.

Re: Rock Band 2 Official

I'm sure this is gonna be better than GH4 because of the set list. If not anything else, the songs in GH4 are gonna suck.

Putting cymbals on the drum set would rock though for RB.
