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.

Re: Rock Band 2 Official
I'd still rather buy GH4, Guitar Hero always has better music.
Look how creative they are, what amazing new graphics and its not the same exact thing at all amirite.

Re: Rock Band 2 Official
Guitar Hero 3's tracklist was utter garbage. I think three out of thirty-something bonus songs didn't suck and were fun to play. The main tracklist was largely old ****, boring ****, and just plain garbage.
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

Re: Rock Band 2 Official
I agree with these. I hate the RB guitar cuz you cant hear yourself strum and that helps me alot. GH and RB go 50-50 back and fort on best songs. It will be a tuff battle for me to determine which is better by getting GH4 and seeing for myself. Although, how is it GH when it has the whole band in it like RB. Not GH anymore.

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
: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
BWT and the UI in general have been overhauled, just the extent is not known considering the game was announced two days ago and the developers have not released a great deal of info. E3 should bring the juicy info.

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.

Re: Rock Band 2 Official
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.

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.

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