I'll tell you what, I'm playing a real guitar right now and I don't have any groupies. At least Rock Band gives me fake audience noise while I play my real fake real guitar!

Final RB2 setlist:
Paul McCartney and Wings - Band on the Run (Live) Queen - We Will Rock You Queen - We Are the Champions Yes, it was hella easy, but it seemed fitting. And with that, I'll see you losers on the other side! Blink 182 - What's My Age Again Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun Bob Marley - Redemption Song First one was a warmup, second was because I might not get to play it again (I won't really miss it though) and the third one...well, it really felt like the end of an era with that one. Shitty thing is, I'm getting RB3 delivered to my work tomorrow, so I'll be spending half the day with it sitting at my desk unopened. Hopefully my supervisor takes off early. :) |

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Umm... no. Keep Activision's filthy mitts FAR away from our RB. (Apologies if this has been already posted, but the group jerk with pinata as the pivot man has taken up far too much bandwidth for me to check the last 10 pages or so...)
Analyst Advises Activision to Acquire Rock Band Logan Westbrook | 25 Oct 2010 12:46 pm One of Activision's key franchises is circling the drain, and sales estimates for Guitar Hero games are getting some major pruning. It's been on the cards for a while, but it seems like the Guitar Hero series has finally run out of steam and taken Activision's dreams of music game domination with it. According to one analyst, the situation is so bad that the only way Activision is going to get anyone to care about a new Guitar Hero game is by cutting a deal with Viacom and linking it to the Rock Band franchise. Cowen and Company analyst Doug Creutz thought that interest in music games had effectively reset itself back to the levels it was at before Guitar Hero exploded onto the scene in 2006. He said that Cowen and Company had revised its sales estimate for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, cutting it from 2.5 million US sales in the fourth quarter of 2010, to just 1 million. There was some small comfort for Activision however, although it was bittersweet at best, as Creutz said that Guitar Hero made so little difference to Activision's overall results, it was no longer a focus for investor's concerns. I can't help but feel that Creutz is overcomplicated things. Activision could try to revitalize the Guitar Hero series with a Voltron-esque team-up with Rock Band, but it would probably be just as effective to wait a year or two before releasing another game, and try to make it a really good one. It's not wizardry or eldritch arts that make the Rock Band games score higher than the Guitar Hero games, it's that Harmonix is taking its time and isn't firing them out at a rate of at least one a year. Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is available now for Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii, and Rock Band 3 comes out for the same platforms plus the DS on October 26th in North America, October 28th in Australia, and October 29th in Europe. |
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
I'm sure EA is super eager to give up the franchise rights with Rock Band and/or share profits with Activision.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
The more transparent fret road is a big :down: for me. :(
Is there anyway to change it? I can't find anything. |
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Alright, I'm off to the store.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Got me pre-order at Best Buy, will pick it up tomorrow, but can't play until Wednesday night. :( BAH!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Not that many people here. Maybe 25. There's a big ass truck outside which has some guy playing Lego Rock Band on drums.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Supposedly the RB2 export is available and obtained by entering the 20 free DLC code from the back of the RB2 manual in the RB3 menu. I only say "supposedly" because several people have reported that it works with 360 copies but I can't get my copy of RB3 until 10am to confirm. Like before when "Dani California" and "Black Hole Sun" showed up missing I find the reports believable as opposed to believing there's some of middle-of-the-night conspiracy brewing to mislead people in regards to the import.
Onto the bad news, there are a lot of missing songs: Abnormality - Visions AC/DC - Let there Be Rock Anarchy Club - Get Clean Bang Camaro - Night Lies Breaking Wheel - Shoulder to the Plow Journey - Any Way You Want It Libyans - Welcome to the Neighborhood The Main Drag - A Jagged Gorgeous Winter Metallica - Battery Red Hot chili Peppers - Give it Away Soundgarden - Spoonman Speck - Conventional Lover The Sterns - Supreme Girl That Handsome Devil - Rob the Prez-O-Dent The HMX bands are pretty surprising but people are already speculating that they're being held for PRO-ready re-releases, possibly through RBN. The RHCP/Soundgarden thing was what I was worried about but this sadly seems to confirm GH exclusivity. |
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
I can deal with that list except for....Journey. Ouch...that one hurts.
|
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
The export pack is right under 2gb and it's also been theorized that the HMX songs may have been cut due to Microsoft having a 2gb limit on add-ons. If that's the case I imagine they'd have something in the works to release the HMX stuff separately.
|
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
The HMX songs will be back in a future free DLC pack. So technically, we're only missing 5 songs.
http://rockbandaide.com/9308/rock-ba...xport-details/ Anyone know if the PS3 save file is still copy protected? |
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Losing Journey SUUCKS but maybe, hopefully they're bringing it back with keys? :fc:
Couldn't care less about Metallic and would have hidden AC/DC from random rotation anyway. The RHCP and SG songs I feel sad about, but will not lose any sleep. I think I'll get that d/l started now and then go to bed. |
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Damn, no Journey. I also liked The Main Drag - A Jagged Gorgeous Winter but I guess it'll show up later.
|
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
I agree with pinata and Stu. <s>Visions </s> Journey is the big loss here. :lol: Sucks about metallica, RHCP & Soundgarden but I won't lose sleep over them. LTBR is in the AC/DC pack so no loss there.
I still miss Enter Sandman from RB1 more than any of those. |
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Taking away the HMX songs...
AC/DC - Let there Be Rock Journey - Any Way You Want It Metallica - Battery Red Hot chili Peppers - Give it Away Soundgarden - Spoonman Yeah figures, just as I thought, all good songs. Why can't we ever lose stuff like Lit or AFI? Metallica and Soundgarden are especially painful to lose. And Journey. |
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
OK, so I've been playing for three hours now. Impressions...
Likes: Interface feels smooth and polished. Spade system adds variety Generally more options than RB2 Pro mode is detailed and demanding You can switch profiles among instruments Custom setlists can be saved Dislikes: No indicator of whether a song is RB1, 2, 3, Lego, or DLC. Currently can't connect to the music store. I tried pro keys for a bit and it ripped me to shreds, so I switched to expert guitar so I could get a feel for the game. Tomorrow I'm going to go into the trainer and do all the keyboard stuff I can. |
Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
Anyone have a Gamestop pre-order code for the 3-pack of songs they'd like to sell? Send me a PM. Thanks!
