:shrug: 'Eh, something to give this thread some life. I'll play along and say:

Elvis Presley


I was thinking the other day that it is quite odd that out of the year they've been doing DLC, not to mention two full games, I haven't seen a single person suggest Dave Matthews Band for DLC. I'm not a fan, it just struck me as odd.

Yeah, pretty much.

Wild theory time:

"In addition, you’ll get to preview new tracks from an…unnamed mega artist one day before the public release."

Prince?

I know I've thought it before, maybe not said, but it would be huge for the party vibe of the thing. Every chick I know that went to college in the 90s is a fan. I've seen more "fire dancer" stickers and tattoos than I care to count.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
 

I'd anticipate that it might be a GDC announcement. This is in San Fran in March.

Maybe they're all too busy playing hacky sack and frisbee golf.

It would be a terrible Rock Band song, but I love The Dreaming Tree. Tears me up every time.

I would be extremely pissed if "Patala Naga Pampa" came out and I had to pay $1.99 for it. :lol:

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
 

Makes sense. We already know Dan Teasedale is giving a keynote there. But, GDC is the same week that Pearl Jam hits. Whatever they announce there would be too epic for the world to contain.

So either it pales in comparison, it over-shadows PJ, or it is a one-two punch that knocks the fans on their collective ass.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
 

Well that would also make sense then, as they said they'd be able to play tracks early that have already been announced. That's really only the PJ tracks as of now right?

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
 

Yeah, I guess so. So either you get to play the PJ tracks on the 23rd of March or there's a separate SF event with a surprise "mega artist".

Going with the GDC+PJ theory now :(

fart fart fart poop
 

:confused:

The tease makes it sound like there will be a big artist announcement in addition to Pearl Jam. I don't think their mega artist announcement would be Pearl Jam since we already know about that.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
 

It reads to me more like the recipient of that invite misinterpreted the quote he posted.

Actually, he does say "this time around we get to play with some tracks that will be made available soon that has already been announced to the public" and then later starts talking about an announcement based on the word "artist" as opposed to "band". So he's the source of confusion entirely.

qUIcK CASH 4 U SO E-Z U wONT BELIEVE IT!
 

Yeah, it's phrased a little weird, but I read it as:

"Come to our event and play previously announced DLC (Pearl Jam) as well as some MEGA SUPER SURPRISE stuff that will be announced the week before the event."

GDC sounds like a reasonable guess to me.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
 

call me stupid but what is GDC?

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
 

Game Developer's Conference

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
 

Clearly the Super Mega Artist in question has to be Hootie & the Blowfish.

On second thought, let's get realistic, there's no way Harmonix could book them. How about U2?

yay! No Rock band 3 in 2009! :banana:

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
 

NO Rock Band 3 in 2009...they don't want to compete with the Beatles game...unfortunately for them, Guitar Hero WILL want to compete.

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/01/07/ce...and-3-in-2009/

Bad decision, IMHO.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
 

Bah, I'd actually like it if RB3 came out this year. A bunch of songs at a decent price point, plus whatever new features they would've added. I guess maybe it could mean that they spend even more time adding new features for RB3.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
 

But really, what more features (not fixes like the stars) could we want? It's nice to get a lump of tracks for $60, but other than that I am more than content with RB2.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
 

Depends on what the next iteration of GH brings... just more of the same, slightly enhanced? Better instruments? How many more instruments will people tolerate buying anyway every year? As long as they continue their DLC, I'd think they'll be fine.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
 

They'd need to fix the game to make it more a band game, rather than the goodness of GH with some other shit tacked on which is how GH:WT felt to me.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
 

I'm all for no RB3 this year. As a friend of mine said RB is a platform itself, just feed it with DLC. Let GH keep pumping them out, and burn out for all I care.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
 

I'll be at GDC, so I'll let you guys know what/if I hear anything there. I'll be at Teasdale's keynote/session, and be trying my best to get into the HMX party as well.
