Rock Band 2

[dore]

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.
