When are you going to close the Warhawk thread? It's getting pretty large.

I think that 5-7 buttons is wholly inadequate.

I think 5 buttons on a guitar is inadeguate, but this is Rock Band, not reality. I can see it being 8, but not 10.

Never. And save the passive aggressiveness for someone else. I'm Canadian, we perfected that shit.

Seems like showing favoritism to me.

Didn't we talk about the sly allusions about a year or two ago? If you know something, say it.

Pro mode.

That is all.

But it's the nature of the beast when you really only have one hand for the fret board. Keyboards are already two-handed instruments for the keys. Any less than 10 would be a step backwards.

I agree with Shag (as I mentioned a week or so ago). A "keytar" that doubles as Pro mode guitar and keyboard makes a lot of sense.

I'm just having a hard time trying to figure out how they would map out 20 buttons and fit everything else on the screen. The only way I can see it working it to have it take up the entire bottom 1/3 of the screen in multiplayer.

That might work... the entire bottom of the screen, but maybe only extending up a few inches?

So would you say that when I said


Or even a glimpse of how the keyboard parts will be handled.
I might have been a little ahead of you on the thought process here? ;)

Bottom would be too distracting for guitars and drums. I vote for top of the screen above the vocal part.

Could be.
Or perhaps there is a built in LED screen on the keyboard peripheral.
Perhaps.
Just sayin'.

I heard that the keyboard talks wirelessly to a separate monitor (sold separately) that you velcro to your existing TV (velcro strips sold separately). Sounds like a hassle, but you can use it as a rear view mirror in racing games too! Or so I hear...

I'm so tired of you and your Velcro manufacturing connections all coming on here and being all vague and shit. Grow up.

God of War III I wanted to see the video, RB3 i'm okay with just a screenshot.

in fact if they just gave me a picture of the keyboard I could figure it out

Goddamn it can't you people Rodney King up and drop this petty bullshit? No wonder we scare n00bs away. Fuck. Shit. Testicles.

And to stay on topic... I like Rock Band.

I'm just going to assume that L&O is just ribbing me a little bit, and is not genuinely pissed at anything I've said.

I don't take anything he says seriously either.
