Okay...

Sounds like a great choice to me, if they're gonna keep doing the band-exclusive games. I know it sounds ridiculous, but actually at one point yesterday I was thinking how great it'd be if Green Day was featured in a RB or GH game.

Guess I'll get to find out sometime in 2010.

They have two track packs for RB already, guess they wanna go all out.

Hopefully they'll have the old stuff.

I'd be all for that as long as from American Idiot, they included:

American Idiot
Holiday
Wake Me Up When September Ends
and since it's an epic, 5 part, 9 minute song, Jesus of Suburbia for the final boss song or whatever.

What a waste of development time and money.

They'll make return, I'm sure of it - It is fucking Greenday. But if you mean a waste in terms of them doing something more appealing, then I'm with you. I hope they're tooling away at Rock Band 3 during their spin-off development, in that case they can do what they want. They still have the better franchise.

One of the least surprising "World Exclusive" reveals during last night's Video Game Awards show was the unveiling of Harmonix's next single-band opus, Green Day: Rock Band. In case you missed out on the late-to-the-party announcement, you can check out the debut trailer after the jump. If you don't feel like watching a streaming video at the moment, we'll summarize: It looks a heck of a lot like when you play those Green Day DLC songs on Rock Band 2.

The MTV Games press release that landed in our inbox shortly after the trailer aired contained one particularly interesting piece of news -- unlike The Beatles: Rock Band, all of the tracks in Green Day's outing will be exportable to the core Rock Band games. In addition, all the Green Day DLC released so far for the music platform, as well as the three 21st Century Breakdown tracks that will hit this Tuesday, will be compatible with Green Day: Rock Band. No release date has been given thus far, but the presser specifies that its coming to the Wii, PS3 and 360.


yay for exporting. looks like i'll be buying this new then.

This Pearl Jam project is taking a while. Makes me wonder if it will just be a big online track pack or a full-out release.

LOL

LOL @ this song, I have not thought about this in maybe 7 years. Hilarious

Would be far too easy. Power chords for 3 minutes? OK

Like there's not songs that are like that already.

That's everybody ever. lol

Still think that would be an awesome "FINAL BOSS SONG" or w/e, and could be the best since GH II's career "FINAL BOSS SONG", Free Bird.

Just sayin'. Probably won't happen, but at the very least I will probably at the very least feign interest in the game and give it a couple day's rental from the video store when it drops.

I will say this: Coldplay Rock Band is coming.

Couldn't they have done The Who or The Clash instead?

Or Linkin Park? All That Remains?

Matt Redman?!

uh you kinda missed the point there kalyx...

Believe me, I wasn't aiming for it.

Ah

call me when they release Rock Band: Dethklok

Dethband

Cyborg Slayers!!!

I mean I like old greenday, somewhat. Buttheir earliest stuff (those eps that came out as 1 album) is still their best

This is good news for Green Day fans.

no more ridiculous than this shite game.

I will say this: You're a moron.

* "Brain Stew"/"Jaded" (played together)
* "Hitchin' a Ride"
* "Wake Me Up When September Ends"
* "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"
* "American Idiot"

Harmonies are in, and all tracks are fully exportable (unlike the Fab Four's game). Harmonix seems to like reminding people that this is not Rock Band 3 - which according to them, will be Jesus riding a raptor to battle.

The fuck? How did I not hear about this terrible news. What happened to talks of getting a Queen: RB game? I'd like that much much more.

Queen had that big track pack a while back, I don't think a game is coming.

That's pretty retarded, considering the subject this thread is about.

Though I'd take your "logic" over Brian May any day....:p

Why not Steve Miller Band: Rock Band? Or Guitar Hero Peter Paul & Mary? What about Rock Band: They Might Be Giants? Or at least DJ Hero: R Kelly's Trapped in the Closet.

Green Day: Rock Band releases June 8 worldwide

by David Hinkle http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.en...writer_rss.gif { 1 hour ago } http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.jo...reaking001.png http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.jo...001xbox001.png http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.jo...intendo001.png http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.jo...station001.png
That's right, folks -- Harmonix has just revealed that Green Day: Rock Band will be available for all come June 8 on Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii. Up to 6 players (3 mics; 3 instruments) will progress through the career of the trio, unlocking collectible images (more than 100, apparently) and some 40 minutes of "rare and unreleased" footage from interviews, outtakes and performances along the way.

As alluded to above, GD:RB will also sport the same vocal harmonizing feature that made The Beatles: Rock Band such a delight for mic hogs and comes loaded with 47 Green Day tracks, including "Brain Stew," "Jaded," "Hitchin' a Ride," "American Idiot," "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams."

Oh, and if you're looking to export these tunes, worry not: all 47 tracks are fully exportable to a console hard drive and playable in Rock Band, Rock Band 2 and the recently announced Rock Band 3. The export fee is $9.99 via Xbox Live or PSN. The export features is not available for the Wii system. Additionally, if you've picked up the six Green Day tunes already available as DLC, you can play them in the new game with added harmonies, "unique" visuals and more "exclusive archival material."

Green Day: Rock Band will be available as a standalone game for Xbox 360 and PS3 for $59.99, while Wii owners will get a bit of a price break at $49.99. A special edition Green Day: Rock Band Plus will also come to Xbox 360 and PS3 for $69.99 and includes fancy packaging, an "export" feature (we assume, a voucher to export the disc tracks to the hard drive) and the six previously released Green Day DLC tracks.

Update: The GameStop pre-order bonus for the standalone game is an export voucher (for Xbox 360 or PS3). Essentially, pre-order GD:RB from GameStop, and you can export all 47 tracks to your console hard drive for free.

Probably to export, then sell.

Might go ahead and pre order so I can get the exports for free.

Yeah 60 bucks is pushing it. 70 is just no good.

:wave: I have the tracks.

Skipping GD RB though.

Yeah, screw this noise.

Green has had 2 track packs. Plus, Queen's library is much much bigger than 10 songs.

I didn't mean they wouldn't have a game because they had a track pack. I recall being ribbed for wanting a Metallica game after they had a track pack - so this is not my logic.

I meant that there's a good chance Queen is not getting a game, but there's a track available to hold you over. Should have been more clear, but recent attempts at that have been met with rife misunderstanding and more opportunity to build strawmen (another unrelated case).

So yeah, tl,dr posts are coming back. The real tl,dr shit.

Kalyx stop bitching about wanting more Metallica

Guitar Hero: Metallica 2 with every track ever and Lars delivers the game himself!!!!!!!!

Does the game threaten to move to Canada if you don't win?

I want more Metallica!

Yeah, you were ribbed for wanting a game, slight difference.

I understand you're "special," but seriously, how did you not see what you wrote looked nothing like what you meant.

Anway, with one half of Queen supporting it, I'd say there's a very good chance Queen will see a game

Rock Revolution: Queen

"witty."

The entire American Idiot album is included in the game. Also, pre-ordering at Gamestop will net you a free export code.

good lookin out diesel mac

A slip of memory, but an entire album is on disc. Your welcome.

Eventually, if only to export the tracklist and trim it down to what I want. Same as Lego and RB1.

Full written review @ http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/109/1095401p1.html for those interested.

I'm probably going to get this in a week or two if there's a sale.

I'm getting this sent from LoveFilm rental so I'll take the code G.

Assuming PAL and NTSC codes are switchable.
