Fuck yes.
Wonder what the chances of the on disc songs being transferable is. They have been in the past, but with new consoles being the platform, who knows. |
On-disc songs will not transfer due to license issues. May change in the future. If it happens I'm betting that will have a fee unlike the DLC transfer.
|
Whoa, highly impressed that DLC will transfer over. I imagine it will take a huge amount of time to redownload everything again though. I would be seriously tempted to get this if I had more time for videogames that I do now.

Harmonix states the Xbox One version will be getting some special tweaks done to ensure the Kinect won't cause issues while playing the game.

Rock Band 4 to allow more freedom with improvisation for songs according to the studio.

Probably getting this solely based on having drums. The blurb above also seems nifty. Disliked the "go nuts" bars.
|
Time to return to fun town then. They already have me sold by letting me keep my DLC. Good shit

Avenged Sevenfold – "Hail to the King"
Fleetwood Mac – "You Make Loving Fun" Jack White – "Lazaretto" The Killers – "Somebody Told Me" Spin Doctors – "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" The Who – "The Seeker" |
Harmonix is currently asking for fans to sign up to be part of the live action crowds for Rock Band 4.

The campaign mode is going more RPG like with a progression system based on which kind of 'Quests' you take as a band.
- From your hometown, you then choose shows that either grow your renown or get you fast money. Yes, staying niche vs selling out. - The meta-game here is staying popular with your fans makes it easier to excite them during gameplay. But if you play a show shilling a product (actual shilling was alluded to, potential sponsored gear), you will have to play harder to win those fans over. Maybe you just can't. It pays though. - The downside of staying to your roots is more complicated fan engagement via social media, and not being known globally. And less money per show. - Finding ways to make money and/or fans will open up new venues, cosmetic gear and instruments, and of course themed set-lists. Basically don't think as fans as 'XP' as it was before, they're more like a barometer for money. There doesn't seem to be a 'wrong' way to go, it all depends on what kind of band you wanna be. Just like the real deal. |

Yesssss |
Aerosmith – “Toys in the Attic”
The Cure – “Friday I’m In Love” Dream Theater – “Metropolis - Part 1 “The Miracle And The Sleeper” Foo Fighters – “The Feast and the Famine” Judas Priest – “Halls Of Valhalla” Live – “All Over You” The Outfield – “Your Love” Ozzy Osbourne – “Miracle Man” Paramore – “Still Into You” St. Vincent – “Birth In Reverse” Van Morrison – “Brown Eyed Girl” |
Still havent spotted a game only version of this for preorder, digitally or otherwise.
|
Think they're using pre-orders in the original sense of the term - to ensure people get the instruments.
Funny that that's when it feels odd. |
So...is TPWW starting a band or wut?
|
I already know I'm playing this offline with live bandmates all the time. I think I went online less than ten times the entire series.
|
I just wish/hope they redesign the drums to something closer to Guitar Hero's. Absolutely hated RB's drums.
|
What's wrong with RB drums?
|
I don't like the placement or feel of them compared to GH's.
|
I also drum IRL, so I am a picky about that stuff.
|
there's all kinds of mods for them (the cymbal kit being #1). did you ever think about doing that?
|
Yep. Wanted to do something like the pic below, but it was not worth the $$$$ at that time. Each individual pad is adjustable. Also had a double bass on my GH drums that worked very well. I just enjoyed them more.

the ION kit is pretty great, but cost prohibitive, esp when a 2 cymbal kit is $15 on Amazon right now, and there's also a double bass splitter.
|
Isnt the ION kit a legitimate electronic drum set though? I mean, considering that, its not too bad a deal as opposed to buying the plastic drums for game-only.

Ugh, I requested Artic Monkeys Brainstorm....WHERE IS IT!?
YOU CANT TELL ME THIS SONG ISNT PERFECT FOR ROCK BAND <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/30w8DyEJ__0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
"True Survivor" please
|
38 Special - "Caught Up In You"
Arctic Monkeys - "Arabella" The Both - "Milwaukee" Cake - "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" Little Big Town - "Little White Church" Lucius - "Turn It Around" The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - "The Impression That I Get" The Protomen - "Light Up The Night" Soundgarden - "Superunknown" Tijuana Sweetheart - "Pistol Whipped" |
For those interested in the Xbox One version and want compatibility with Xbox 360 instruments, game's real cost is $80 due to the requirement of a special wireless adapter. PS4 version doesn't need a special adapter in order for PS3 instruments to be useable.

The mother fucking protomen. Incredible. Mskes me really hopeful for a megas track.
|
Had a slightly panicked thought earlier regarding the previous DLC. When I bought the tracks previously it was when my gamertag was linked to the UK store, but it's now linked to the NZ store after I moved here. I'm now wondering what, if any, will be available to download again.
Might need to look up the harmonix forums to find out. |
Wouldn't the licenses carry over?
|
I assume they would, haven't really needed to try that theory out. I guess the main issue might be whether the songs were also licenced to come out over here at the same time.
Might have to investigate this further. |
Holy shit, band in a box will be $529 in my region! Absolutely criminal! Although it does come with a bonus mic stand.....
Guitar bundle is $279. |
Track listing for launch:

who wants to play rockband with me
|
FYI, if anyone plans on picking this up for X1 digitally, you can snag the adapter separately on Amazon for $10 with promo code RB4ADAPTER
Not sure for how long though. |
