[SolidusDave]

Any info on if RB4 will be available for preorder on the EU PS Store?
If not, how do we get the bonus songs like in the US? (for the digital version)

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Damn, I'm not seeing an option for drum kit only. I want the game, but I don't need the new mic or guitar. But I need to replace my RB1 drums.

 

[Bladelaw]

Yea I was wondering about that myself . No new info I take it?

Mad Catz is on record via their FAQ
Question: Can I buy the Legacy Game Controller Adapter separately from the Rock Band 4 software?

Answer: Yes; we’ll have more details on this closer to launch.


Granted we're getting pretty fucking close to launch.

 

[MindCollizion]

What about a standalone guitar? Band in a box is missing a bassist! I was looking for one but can't find any. Wanted to have the full band day one.

They have said they are planning on launching/selling stand-alone instruments in "early 2016".

 

[pacman85]

Kinda crazy that if you are wanting to get a true full band, pro, experience you need to get 2 more mics, one more guitar and the cymbals separately after ALREADY dropping $250 on a full band kit. But I guess that's how Rock Band has always been.

 

[Rain City Gamer]

Just need ION support and RB3 export.


come on HMX, make it happen!

 

[janoDX]

I'm realizing Rock Band 4 setlist looks like Rock Band 2 setlist in artists.

 

[Bauer91]

Yep. Dream Theater, Rush, Judas Priest, Foo Fighters, Paramore, Avenged Sevenfold, The Who, Soundgarden etc. Personally I thought RB2 had a stellar setlist so I'm happy with this one as well.

Yeah, you just run out of the most obvious choices after featuring them multiple times.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Yeah, you just run out of the most obvious choices after featuring them multiple times.

Not to mention lots of DLC.

 

[PROh1bited]

So how many of your suggestions were used in RB4? For me, only 1. That Smell. Oh well. Hopefully most of my suggestions become dlc.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

About 15 songs that I've put on my setlists at some point or another. That Smell was one of mine as well, and it was actually one of the first Skynyrd songs I heard.

 

[Hop]

None of mine were ever going to happen, I suggest weird obscure shit. I think the most popular stuff I requested was The Dismemberment Plan.

 

[KaYotiX]

Yeah whoever chose their setlist did the game a huge disservice. In a pure setlist battle guitar hero is so much better. That person actually has listened to rock music in the past 10 years and picked some great songs.

Great joke!!!


Its a joke right?? Right??

 

[janoDX]

Because picking Sugar by Maroon 5 is a lot of rock.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

I actually like the setlist a lot. But my criteria is basically, do I like at least half the songs? Like, we finally got Van Halen, with the promise of more DLC coming. One day soon, I could be playing Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love and that's wonderful.

Now I just have to keep stuffing the suggestion box with Bloc Party.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

It's crazy how cheap the legacy dlc is compared to the RB3 dlc. I bought Are You Experienced, The Cars, two singles, all for less than $20. I thought of getting Imagine, the one album is $20. I have practically everything I want from the legacy dlc, but RB3's dlc is just too much lol

I've been thinking about buying the Beatles DLC, but it's so expensive and it'll be obsolete in a matter of weeks.

 

[waitwhat42]

I suggested Lazaretto, Birth in Reverse, Tounge Tied, and Panama.

I wish they would add some Arcade Fire songs, I can't believe they've never been featured on disc or DLC. They have so many songs that would be fun to play on every instrument.

 

[distantmantra]

Arcade Fire would be great. I really thought we'd see some DLC when The Suburbs came out, but it never happened.

 

[PAULINK]

I only requested one thing, songs by Zebrahead! I don't know if my dream will ever be realized.

looks like rb instagram posted they have physical copies of RB4 (PS4)! Get excited guys.

 

[PAULINK]

Guys, today is the last day to apply for the Rock Band Road crew! http://rockband.com/roadcrew

I'm so excited for tomorrow because they will announce the people who got accepted.

 

[chunk3rvd]

What's the best way to find out which songs are delisted? Someone mentioned songs on Wikipedia marked with a but Proud Mary isn't marked and that's delisted so I'm doubtful about how accurate the list is now

 

[Jimnymebob]

Is there any way I can fix the sensitivity on Rock Band 1 drums?
I have to hit the red and green hard, and I have to slam the yellow and blue pads. They've been like that since I've had them, so I've never really used them that much. The pedal is fine, it's just the drum pads (mostly the middle two) that I have trouble with.

There are no sensitivity options for the rb1 drums, or any drums for that matter. Your kit may be broke.

here is a link with all the delisted songs.

I'm really bummed that i didn't get around to entering a video for the road crew. I've been pretty busy. Would have liked to have a party and record a full band.
What could have been

 

[Shift Breaker]

The fact that the older songs will soon jump back up to normal price is putting me on edge.

[son of a Sven]

Is that because they added harmonies to the old songs?

 

[Shift Breaker]

Do we know when?

Not a clue. I'd guess before, or not long after the game's release, but we don't have a date. It could be after Christmas, it could be tomorrow, it could be in three months but then SCEE bump the prices up three weeks early.

Yes, I'm still bitter that they removed the Chilli Pepper songs early.

Also need a usb hub for 3 mics, and possibly the classic adaptor if you have an old guitar(I do).

 

[Ninhead]

"Time" and "Postcards from Hell" would be awesome.

 

[Bauer91]

We don't know this. RB3 era songs could go down in price instead. Hopefully we get a notice in advance if a change in pricing is about to happen.

Xbox legacy adapter is up at Amazon:

[Sealtest]

last time I bought something from PSN under $5 I had to ad $5 credit to my account instead, Think single song purchases will be allowed and not with a minimum of $5 like usual? or has this changed

Thanks! Now I can get the digital copy. Sweet!

Wait, prime shipping of 4-6 days? That's not what i pay for prime for.

Edit: and there will def be an xb1 digital version, right?

They have said there will be. Not sure what the hold up is.

 

[Lady Siara]

When will that be occurring exactly? I've got a list I need to go through, dunno if I'll be able to get them before the price goes back up.

Shit, maybe I'll go digital, if Amazon can get me the adapter on release day.

 

[Cheddahz]

finally went ahead and pre-ordered the xbox one guitar bundle and yeah, this might be the most hyped i am for a game this year

 

[PAULINK]

What could have been

You have until tonight man! And you don't have to get a group of friends, hmx has been on the record saying you can get creative. Or use family members.

I might get the adapter as a backup. Those new guitars are just too good though.

 

[vg260]

The Xbox One version is still on track to be 1080p/60fps native right?

I'm hoping nothing's changed on that front.

 

[SicSemperTyrannis]

Do we know yet whether or not the legacy adapter will work with Lips microphones?

 

[nicholasbrutal]

No, we won't be able to support them at launch.

 

[jond76]

How's the Road Crew selection coming along? Y'all have been awful quiet on social media today

Bummer, but I figured that would be the case. Hopefully a patch in the future can enable them.
