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.

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. |

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. |

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.

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.

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.

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. |

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. |

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. |
