Official Rock Band 2 thread
Rock Band 2 has been confirmed as in development for release in late 2008 by Wired. According to Wired, Harmonix is working on improving the instrument controllers but the current controllers will be forward compatible with Rock Band 2. Wired also stated that the game will likely include similar features announced for Guitar Hero World Tour, set also for release in late 2008.

That would be pretty awesome if it did, but I highly doubt it.

List things this game needs.
1) Solo BASS tour 2) The ability to pick your cpu controlled bandmates. 3) The ability to create your own setlist on solo tour, solo quickplay, and band quickplay. Where you could play as many songs in a row you want. And pick the venues. |

2) Yeah. Maybe even pick them from the same profile. 3) Agreed. Let me add: 4) The ability to use characters on the same profile to do BWT, period. I don't want to do a second profile if I want to sing and play guitar. In fact, just give us the option to have a frontman with a riddem geetar. In fact, let us use the guitar or drum's headset to sing. 5) BWT online. This would up the online portions by like 9 million percent. 6) More CAR features. More detail i ncreation. I don't need SVR-level depth, but it'd be nice if we had a bit more detail in the creation process. Maybe even options for how our characters behave at different points (Such as overdrive). 7) Like I said, import music from RB. They wanted to make it like iTunes, well iTunes doesn't make you rebuy songs when you get a new iPod. 8) Recognise local DLC. Like, with the local showcases? I have tons of songs from the Boston area, but it only counts the three that were part of the original setlist. Minor deal, but still. |

Not really? Yeah, the whole timed exclusive thing sucks, but a 3 month wait isn't the end of the world.

So apparently X Play showed some of the Rock Band 2 song selection screen tonight. Besides seeing Rock Band 1 DLC on it, there were some new songs (the artists are all presumed, since only the song titles were shown):
* Dream Theater - “Panic Attack” (could also be Finger Eleven) * System of a Down - “Chop Suey” * Red Hot Chili Peppers - “Give It Away” * Foo Fighters - “Everlong” * Kim Wilde - “Kids in America” * Motörhead - “Ace of Spades” * Cheap Trick - “Hello There” * Journey - “Any Way You Want It” * The Who - “Pinball Wizard” |

Note this isn't a timed exclusive, it's merely coming out sooner for one than the others. The difference may seem trivial, but if it were really a timed exclusive, they wouldn't be hyping it up for other systems, as that would be counterproductive. So yeah, PS3 owners have to wait a little, but they're hardly screwed. Not that I really care, since I'll have mine at launch on the 360. But it's not going to be that big a deal. |

I'm skeptical about some of these. Like Man in the Box has cussing and some questionable lyrics.

Questionable song lyrics are pretty ridiculous anyway. For the Pixies Doolittle, they don't censor "Whores at the door, whore in my bed" by the censor "got a tattooed tit". I'm sure they could make it a T rating somehow.
