Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
I have page 14 of the track list on a 30-minute auto-refresh on my secondary monitor. As soon as I see it update, I'll be posting here with the news and updating my spreadsheet to find the additions.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Another megaton bomb for DLC this week! I love it when we get major hits from current RB artists AND from artists new to RB.
There's at least five buyers for me... |
Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
I will wait until Friday afternoon, then I'm going nuts on a spending spree. I have a party to take the setup to that night and there's way too much awesome in the last few weeks to not get.
Then I dread an update on 9/1 when they start giving away the Beatles set :( |
Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
I assume you mean next Friday?
|
Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Yeah.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Great freakin Week.... LOVE seeing Petty finally, and Running Down a Dream is a perfect choice... Would have liked another song besides I wont Back down, but i will take what I can get...

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Looks like we might be getting another Band exclusive game and Rock Band 3 next year: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3175697
We're still waiting on The Beatles Rock Band, but it looks like Harmonix is already hard at work on their next title. According to MTV Games vice president Scott Guthrie, the development team is working on what is 'effectively the next game.' Asked whether Harmonix will release another artist game or Rock Band 3 in 2010, Guthrie told the Market for Computer and Video Games, "We're exploring both - and possibly will do both. The Harmonix development team are working on what is effectively the next game, or 'Rock Band 3.' "We aren't standing still - we will keep moving into new areas and look at new technologies that our platform holder partners are also developing, such as Project Natal from Microsoft. We're working with them to pull some things together." "So it's a pretty exciting time for the future of our music game business." The word 'effectively' seems important here, because it suggests that we're in for another spinoff. At this point though, all we can do is speculate. In the meantime, The Beatles Rock Band release date is getting ever closer. Look for it on September 9. |

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
It's unclear from that quote whether they're talking about another Beatles style game, or more of a track pack like AC/DC. I know there's that Pearl Jam Live project due next year, and I assumed it would be more of a track pack. I wonder if they're referring to that or something else?
|
Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Isn't that whole Pearl Jam project still in the wings too?
|
Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Fleetwood Mac? Did that say Fleetwood Mac!
Thank you HMX!! |

Elvis would be huge, but I don't think the audience is there for it. Same for the Rolling Stones. Both would be awesome track packs but probably couldn't carry their own game. |

Yep, making GH less and less relevant.
Would I rather buy a $60.00 disc to get these songs OR a 2.00 download? Hmmm? |

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Another awesome week! For you old farts like me, you might remember that there were two videos/singles for Billy Idol's "Mony Mony". I hope we get this version:

The Beatles are top of the list deserving of their own game. They have set music history, and the depth of their music is such that it demands they be unique. Any other band or artist I have doubts about. Led Zeppelin would certainly qualify. But their signature song would be boring as hell to play on RB. Especially for the drummer. The Stones, not so sure. Their modern stuff is not worthy so it would be limited to their 'best' stuff (60s-early 80s). I mean is it worth the $60 just to be able to play on a neat stage or venue since the songs should import into RB? |

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Unbelievable. I think I might have to buy every single one of those songs.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Fleetwood Mac has so many better songs than "World Turning" but I'll take it... glad to see Tom Petty too.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
I'm okay with track packs from here on out. Make Rock Band 3 the Burnout Paradise of rhythm games, whereas it's always upgradeable, and then just release track packs on disc and updates via DLC.
And I know music fans would care about Zeppelin, but would it have enough crossover appeal to gamers and kids to make it worth it? Would it even outsell GH: Metallica? |
Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Actually.. maybe with the recent death of the King of Pop... it could be MJ:RB or The Jackson's: Rock Band? I think most of his/their work is playable as a band with only a few slow songs that are purely vocals like She's Outta My Life.
